Te Komihana Tauhohoko is committed to supporting the Māori-Crown relationship by improving services and outcomes for Māori and strengthening the Crown’s relationship with Māori.
To deliver on this commitment we have developed our Rautaki Māori (Māori Strategy) to guide our people, taking into account our current capability. It does not assume our people have any previous understanding or knowledge of te ao Māori and is focused on building solid foundations for us to better work with, and for, Māori.
The vision of our Rautaki Māori is: Ka whai hua te iwi Māori – Māori will benefit from our work.
To realise this vision, the Rautaki Māori seeks the following outcomes:
Our people grow their cultural capability and are confident engaging in different aspects of te ao Māori;
Our people have the tools, processes, and an operating environment that supports successful engagement with Māori; and
Te Tiriti o Waitangi guides how we contribute to Māori-Crown relationships by working with whānau, hapū and iwi Māori.
