Māori Engagement
Building strategic relationships that advance positive outcomes for Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau
Our individual and collective effort upholds the proverb of the region:
Te pai me te whai rawa o Tāmaki.
Tāmaki a place of abundance and wealth.
We are privileged to work with kaimahi and people outside our organisation to embed the tenets of te ao Māori in our planning, to celebrate and promote our region’s unique Māori identity, nurture creative Māori talent, and support Māori enterprise.
Our latest Ākina publication features initiatives Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, our collaborators and partners have worked on together over the last year. It shows the impacts of deepening relationships with Mana Whenua, Mātāwaka, Māori businesses, and creative leaders – and the power of collective mahi (work) grounded in respect, reciprocity, and shared aspirations.
