Māori Education & Development
"Ruia te manapou, ruia te manatawa kia puāwaitia ai"
"Sow the seeds of the language so that they may flourish"
Poutawa is dedicated to fostering deep connection with te reo Māori and mātauranga Māori. We believe that language is the heartbeat of culture, and through accessible, high-quality educational resources and development opportunities, we empower both Māori and non-Māori to engage authentically with te ao Māori.
Our commitment is to strengthen cultural identity, build confident communicators, and support communities in their journey towards cultural competency and linguistic excellence. We honor the past, nurture the present, and sow seeds for future generations.
Through collaboration, innovation, and unwavering respect for tikanga, we create pathways that celebrate mana and hauora, ensuring that te reo Māori continues to thrive in all spaces.
