We work with kauri, hidden in the earth for over 45,000 years, bringing it into the light.




Ngāti Kuri iwi lands encompass the most northern tip of the
North Island and include Te Rerenga Wairua (Cape Reinga) and Ninety Mile Beach.

Kā Uri, in Awanui, is the gateway to the Far North. It is where we celebrate and record who we are, and where we share this understanding with visitors from all around the world.

We work with kauri, hidden in the earth for over 45,000 years, bringing it into the light, formed or carved giving it new life as bespoke pieces of art and furniture.

Kā Uri is also a bridge between manuhiri (guests) and the natural world of the Far North, guided by our unifying tribal vision of  Te Ara Whānui.

Te Ara Whānui refers to the many pathways of encounter that spread across the Far North from Kermadec Islands, Manawatāwhi (Three Kings Islands), to Te Rerenga Wairua (Cape Reinga) and Ninety Mile Beach, from Parengarenga Harbour to Te Kao and Houhora.

The pathways are drawn together, symbolised by a waka (canoe) - a representation of our journey through time, and a reminder of the interconnection of all living things.
