Kaupapa / Projects

For Ngāti Tamaterā, kaupapa represents the guiding principles and values that shape our actions, decisions, and collective vision. It embodies our cultural identity, traditions, and the inherent responsibilities we hold towards our people and the land. Kaupapa is the foundation upon which we build our strategies, ensuring that every initiative aligns with our tikanga (customs) and enhances the mana (prestige) of our iwi. It is about staying true to our roots while navigating contemporary challenges, fostering a sense of unity, and promoting the well-being and prosperity of our community. Through our kaupapa, we honour our ancestors, uphold our cultural heritage, and pave the way for future generations to thrive.
