The National Library’s E oho! Waitangi series continues in February 2026 with events and film screenings throughout February.
Our ‘E oho!’ series is for all people living in Aotearoa who are interested in exploring key events that shaped the nation we call home. It’s a series with speakers from diverse backgrounds who focus on historical events, contemporary consequences and collective understanding. Each event entails inspiring talks and the opportunity to kōrero further afterwards.
