A Hawaiian waka will be on display for people to see at Mangonui’s main wharf in Northland on Sunday.
Hikianalia is accompanying waka Hōkūleʻa to take part in celebrations to mark 40 years since Hōkūleʻa visited.
It sparked the revival of building ocean-going waka and traditional navigation, led by the late Sir Hek Busby.
Hikianalia will be on display between 10 and 2pm, and will then head to a dry dock in Auckland for maintenance.
