It might be an old cliché, but ‘when the stars align’ rings true right now for Tauranga Historic Village Tenants Manager, Michelle Smith, as she prepares for Matariki at the Village this month.
“I am very excited to see the whole village embrace this year’s celebrations. This is only our third year celebrating Matariki in the village, but the growth and the enthusiasm has been amazing. I am especially delighted to welcome two new village tenants who could not have timed their arrivals any better,” says Michelle.
As we prepare to celebrate Matariki, we also welcome our newest tenants to the village community, Tasmyn Roach and Kayla Holland. These two wāhine toa are shining lights in our community and their stories are both entwined and unique.
