MISSION of MOKOMOKAI EDUCATION TRUST

To Educate Maori / Pakeha, all New Zealanders and Peoples of the World about the Mokomokai. To create discussion and dialogue via Lecture tours, exhibitions, displays, DOCUMENTARY series revealing a unique aspect of New Zealands cultural heritage. To dissect the mystery that surrounds TAPU and reveal the secrets of pre European and post European attitudes of Maori to their dead. To re establish the MANA of the MOKOMOKAI in today's contemporary Society.

Hawaiian, American Indians, Australian Aboriginals will accompany the Great grand daughters of HORATIO GORDAN ROBLEY to New York to escort their ancestors home to Aotearoa. The Whanau are in rehersal practicing ancient Karakia, (prayers), waiata, (songs) Tawhito (pre European), which will be sung and recited in the Urupa (Crypt) of the American Museum of Natural History. An ensemble of Tohunga Tawhito (Pre European) and Contemporary will spearhead and guide the Ope (group) and cleanse the Urupa of TAPU.

The Anticipated return of the ROBLEY collection is considered an EVENT of significant Cultural importance. It is comparable to the TE MAORI EXHIBITION WHICH WAS STAGED IN NEW YORK AND AT SEVERAL AMERICAN MUSEUMS OF ART.

Their return will be celebrated with a series of cultural events depicting Traditional and Contemporary Maori Visual & Performing arts.

A series of exhibitions & Performances are to be staged in
