© 2025 Mō Kā Uri | A website by Antony & Mates

Our manako is our 25-year intergenerational vision crafted from whanau voice and tribal leadership. It articulates our vision for our Kāi Tahu future.
Kia turuturu taku ao Kāi Tahu
Tūturu te noho
Tūturu te hono
Tūturu ake nei
Mō tatou, ā, Mō kā uri ā muri ake nei
Revisiting the Ngāi Tahu 2025 karakia written by Tahu Potiki we see it as being just as relevant today as it was then. Rather than replace it we have woven the voice of whānau into the original to take us forward over the next 25-years.

Kia turuturu taku ao Kāi Tahu
Tūturu te noho
Tūturu te hono
Tūturu ake nei
Mō tatou, ā,
Mō kā uri ā muri ake nei
Kia turuturu
Ka whakamaua
Kia tina, tina!
Rona, tāi-e!

“Until we have come to terms with the question of what we want to be as a people, there is no horizon of collective purpose.
Mō Kā Uri offers us an opportunity to move towards reimagining what we want to be and how we want to be!”
- Tā Tipene O’Regan
