Who we are
He Kupu Whakatau
He reo maioha, he oha nō te ngākau whakaiti ki a ngākaunui, nui te mahara, nui te pūkenga, nui te hihiri ki te oranga o tō tātou reo rangatira. E puare ana ngā tatau o te tarati o Te Ataarangi ki Te Kāhui Maunga ki te hunga whai-wheako whakahaere, whai-pūkenga ohaoha, whai-hihiri ki ngā kaupapa whānau, kaupapa hapori, kaupapa Māori.
