Kia tūturu anō te reo Māori ki Te Tau Ihu o te Waka a Māui

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tuia te Matangi was a passionate desire for Te Tau Ihu Tangata Whenua for more than 30 years. Cloaked by those aspirations, in 2004 a working group was re-formed to progress this moemoeā. As the journey took on momentum, a name was gifted to the kaupapa, Tuia te Matangi. We acknowledge the support and guidance of Tangata Whenua iwi through this process; Ngāti Kuia, Ngāti Koata, Ngāti Rārua, Te Ātiawa, Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō, Rangitane o Wairau, and Ngāti Toa Rangatira. In doing so, it is as important to express gratitude for the many mātāwaka who gave of their time, knowledge, and experience in this journey also, and continue to do so.
