Māori Development & Education
Kei hea taku manapou, taku manatawa?
This whakatauki speaks of the origin of te reo Māori that was brought to Aotearoa in the beak of the kākā bird who then dispersed them throughout the land to grow and to flourish into the treasured reo of our people.
We embody this whakatauki in our aim to cherish and nurture our reo and mātauranga Māori so that Aotearoa can florish.
This is the guiding vision for the creation of Poutawa Reo and what we aspire to achieve.
The name Poutawa derives from these two seeds te manapou and te manatawa
Kaupapa: Who are we?
Poutawa work alongside organisations and institutions to develop their cultural capability and confidence to uplift all aspects of Mātauranga Māori.
We believe in empowering all people to achieve their aspirations of Māori knowledge so that they can walk confidently in this area.
