Our kau­pa­pa:

“To inspire peo­ple through the preser­va­tion, pro­mo­tion and cel­e­bra­tion of Hone’s legacy”

Trust objec­tives:

• To pur­chase and restore Hone Tuwhare’s crib at Kaka Point, South Ota­go, for use as a cre­ative res­i­den­cy — the first to be estab­lished in the home of a Maori writer.
• To sup­port the devel­op­ment of resources for schools and kura kau­pa­pa Maori, in Eng­lish and Maori, cov­er­ing poet­ry, writ­ing, self-expres­sion and Hone’s life and work.
• To ini­ti­ate events that cel­e­brate Hone’s con­tri­bu­tion to the arts in  Aotearoa New Zealand.

While the writ­ers’ res­i­dence will be locat­ed in South Ota­go, the trust will have a nation­wide focus.
