Pou He Taiao
Pou He Taiao embodies the profound connection of Ngāti Kuia to the environment, guided by our whakapapa. We recognise our whakapapa to the taiao and its reciprocal connection to us. Our origins allow the adaptation of past mātauranga for future generations' sustainability and preservation. As kaitiaki, we champion sustainable practices, conservation efforts, and challenge destructive practices. By embracing the taiao, we ensure a harmonious relationship between our community and the ecosystems that sustain us.
