Iwi

Nāu te rourou nāku te rourou ka ora ai te iwi
With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive.

Working with iwi and hapū is some of the most important work we do. Sometimes this means capacity-building; sometimes it means listening; sometimes it means advocacy or holding space within a process; and sometimes it means empowering Māori to make decisions.

We seek to listen and learn from iwi, hapū, mana whenua and Māori about what you want for whānau, hapū and iwi, and work alongside you to find practical ways of achieving these aspirations according to their tikanga and kawa. This mahi includes visioning, housing strategy and delivery, but more importantly is holistic in nature, and aims to build Māori wellbeing, as well as local and community wealth.

Mā mātou koe e awhina | We can help you:

Mahere: Communicate what is important to you + create values-based plans

Rautaki: Support you to develop your whenua to benefit your whānau
