Matariki is almost here ✨

As we move closer to the rising of the Matariki cluster, we take time to reflect, remember, and prepare for the year ahead.

This post highlights four of the stars in the cluster Matariki, Pōhutukawa, Tupuānuku, and Tupuārangi each holding its own meaning and connection to our world and our people.

More to come as we continue sharing the story of Matariki 🌿

Whanaungatanga at its finest ✨

A beautiful moment captured at the Te Taura Ora o Waiariki Kaiwhakarae whakatau, where wāhine came together in support, connection, and aroha for our collective kaupapa. Looking after the hauora or our hapori.

It was special to see our CE, Mapihi, alongside Brandi Hudson, CE of Hamilton Te Tiratū IMPB, welcoming Hinemoa into her new role as CE of Te Taura Ora o Waiariki.

These moments reflect the strength of our hononga and the importance of uplifting and supporting one another as wāhine Māori leaders. Tau kē! 🤍

Kua whānau mai au ki roto i tēnei ao.✨

For Sonny, kapa haka has always been more than performance it’s identity, connection, whakapapa, and a way of life. Raised surrounded by composers, waiata, and the gifts passed down through whānau, he shares how growing up ki roto i te ao kapa haka shaped the person he is today.

Through this kōrero series, we explore how we can better connect in and support our Māori communities through different spaces of wellbeing, culture, and practice.
Kapa haka and waiata are powerful ways that we connect, express who we are, and uplift our people. ❤️🖤

Ngā mihi nui ki a Sonny for taking the time to sit with us and share his story.

Continuing our emergency response series with Ropiha Callaghan, Civil Defence in Raukōkore.

In this kōrero, Ropiha talks about the importance of having essential supplies ready at home, alongside wider whānau preparedness during emergencies.

He highlights how being prepared ahead of time, having the right supplies in place and making early decisions like getting out early if you can can make a significant difference in keeping whānau safe when situations change quickly.

Preparation is not just about what we have on hand, but also how we respond together as whānau when it matters most.

“Don’t get complacent and mahia te mahi”.

Ngā mihi Ropiha for your kōrero and support of our communities.

Continuing our emergency response series with Ropiha Callaghan, Civil Defence in Raukōkore.

In this kōrero, Ropiha talks about the emergency hub in Raukōkore and the important role it plays during response efforts.

The hub acts as a central space for coordination, communication, and support when emergencies occur, helping ensure information and resources are shared with the community as quickly and effectively as possible.

It’s a key part of how response efforts are managed locally, and how whānau can be supported on the ground when it’s needed most.

At Te Moana a Toi, our role is to support better outcomes for whānau.

We don’t deliver services directly instead, we work behind the scenes to make sure the right support reaches you, when and where it’s needed most.

We help guide decisions about where resources go, remove barriers, and support Māori health providers to do what they do best caring for our people.

Our approach means we can:

- Lead when strong direction is needed
- Support those already doing the mahi
- Advocate for what whānau need
- Oppose things that don’t serve our people

By staying focused on the bigger picture, and listening to the voices of whānau, we help create a system that works better for you now and for future generations.

✨ Matariki is coming ✨

As we move into the colder months, we begin to prepare for Matariki a time marked by the rising of the Matariki star cluster, signalling the Māori New Year.

It is a season to slow down, to reflect on the year that has passed, to remember those we have lost, and to come together with whānau. It is also a time to look ahead, to set intentions, and to nurture new beginnings.

He wā mō te maumahara, te whakanui, me te whakatō i ngā wawata. 🌿

Key elements to remember:

- Some form of communication like a phone or radio

Our tikanga and strategic priorities reflect how we operate as Te Moana a Toi IMPB and how we exercise our mana to enable flourishing whānau, hapū, and iwi.

Our values are not symbolic they are how we lead. They shape how we exercise authority, make decisions, and uphold accountability to our people, our mokopuna, and our Toi Ao.

Grounded in wairuatanga, ūkaipōtanga, rangatiratanga, manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, kotahitanga, whanaungatanga, and pūkengatanga our tikanga guides how we act and how we hold ourselves and the system to account.

Our Strategic Priorities bring this into practice. They reflect how we lead, influence, and strengthen systems from elevating iwi authority and whānau voice, to enabling intergenerational wellbeing, sustained leadership, and system accountability.

Together, they keep us focused on what matters most long-term impact, strong governance, and outcomes for our people, now and for future generations.

🌿 Honouring our Māmā this Mother’s Day 🌿

Today we celebrate the wāhine who nurture, guide, and uplift our whānau and hapori every single day. Our māmā, nannies, aunties, and mother figures carry the strength of those who came before us and shape the generations to come.

Your aroha, your manaaki, and your resilience do not go unseen. You are the heartbeat of our homes and the backbone of our communities.

💛 Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa e ngā māmā
