POU TĪKANGA

What are we collectively aiming to achieve?

​

​Our people’s identity is grounded in history and expressed through reo, tīkanga, mātauranga and interconnected lines of descent.

• Mana whenua is upheld and properly reflected in our region, places of learning, civic governance, health, safety, sustenance, and dwelling.

• Political, strategic and legislative environments that uphold our mana as defined by Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

• Visionary leadership that is relevant and competent, blending the right mix of business, cultural and personal skills and integrity.

• Increased political autonomy and sovereignty over our rohe, resources and interests
