He Ara Whakamua: Building Pathways Together to the Future

Naumai (Welcome)

Whakataka te hau ki te uru,
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga.
Kia mākinakina ki uta,
Kia mātaratara ki tai.
E hī ake ana te atākura.
He tio, he huka, he hauhunga.
Tihē Mauri Ora!

Cease the winds from the West,
Cease the winds from the South.
Let the breezes blow over the land,
Let the breezes blow over the ocean.
Let the red-tipped dawn come,
With a sharpened air, a touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day.

E ngā mana,
E ngā reo,
E ngā waka
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

To all leaders and authorities,
To all cultures,
To all waka and tribal areas,
Greetings.

Many New Zealanders remain unaware of the true value of Māori cultural knowledge as a source of innovation and creativity – this may be a legacy of a colonised past.

We invite you to participate in a day of discussions examining what it takes to build pathways to a vibrant future.
