"Mana Wahine, Mana Whanau" speaks to the connection between the empowerment and wellbeing of our women and thus, our families.

The mural was created by Rangatahi of Matata alongside Whakatane-born artist Arohanoa Mathews (Arohanoa Artistry).

Located just off the main road in Matata on the side of the Matata Volunteer Fire Brigade's station, stop in on your way through.
