About us

Ngā Mānia Onewhero is a vibrant whānau-based kapa haka group that fosters cultural connection and whakapapa discovery through powerful performances and meaningful relationships. Based in Ipswich, with a thriving peka on the Sunshine Coast, NMO provides a welcoming space for members to reconnect with their Māori heritage and build whanaungatanga. Founded by Koka Charley, this dynamic group has grown from a small whānau gathering to a thriving community, inspiring a new generation to embrace their uniqueness as Māori living in Australia. With its infectious energy and commitment to Te Ao Māori, Ngā Mānia Onewhero is a testament to the power of kapa haka to bring people together and celebrate identity.
