WAIATA TAUTOKO

Waiata tautoko is an important tikanga as a way to acknowledge and thank a speaker or presenter.  It is not always known beforehand which waiata will be sung, as it is often chosen in the moment to reflect the messages in the korero or the connections of the speaker.   

At our conference we will be encouraging you to join in waiata tautoko.
