Tikaka

Mō Kā Uri is guided by nine tikaka

Inspired by whānau voice, iwi leadership has identified the following nine tikaka. These are our collective understanding of the key cultural elements passed down by our tipuna that need to be upheld and guide our behaviours and all of our decision-making.

Rakatirataka

We have the ability and means to advance our shared aspirations and collective wellbeing (look after ourselves, live our own dreams).

Mana motuhake

Our hapū, papatipu rūnaka and their communities have autonomy and are thriving in their takiwā.

Kotahitaka

We are connected by whakapapa, culturally grounded, our mātauraka is accessible and we act collectively.

Aupiki Ōhaka – Economic Sustainability

We carefully and responsibly manage our pūtea and economic base.

Mana kītahi – Accountability

We hold ourselves account to our tīpuna and mokopuna and we hold to our word.

Whakatuputupu

We plan, invest and act intergenerationally.

Kaitiakitaka

We fiercely uphold the mana and mauri of our whenua, wai, raki, mahika kai and taoka.

Manaakitaka

We uplift the mana of each other through care and respect.

Tauutuutu - Reciprocity

We enable and encourage contribution to the collective.

Our tikaka will ensure we will hold ourselves to account to our tipuna and our mokopuna.
