Priorities in this context are focused on building capacity
in all our endeavours at all levels. Coupled with research as
a key priority to keep the tribe abreast of all local and global
shifts and developments, generations hereafter will be well
equipped to enjoy success in all sectors of society. There
is recognition however, that success is short term without
succession, so growing leaders through succession planning
and mentoring programmes are key priorities.

TRIBAL IDENTITY & INTEGRITY
TRIBAL SOCIAL & ECONOMIC WELLBEING
The King Movement is the unifying korowai of Maaori.
Kiingitanga was established in 1858 to unite all tribes under
the leadership of Pootatau Te Wherowhero. Its primary goals
were to cease the sale of land to Paakehaa, stop inter-tribal
warfare, and provide a springboard for the preservation of
Maaori culture in the face of Paakehaa colonisation. As it has
done for the past 150 years, the role of Kiingitanga will still
be the unifying thread of all Iwi, under the seventh monarch,
Kiingi Tuheitia.

•
To ensure Kiingitanga remains an eternal symbol of unity
Ko Tainui te waka, ko Taupiri te maunga, ko
Waikato te awa, ko Pootatau te tangata
Waikato taniwharau, he piko he taniwha, he

Our strategic direction charts a course of significant
developments to protect our tribal identity and integrity.
The development of a core strategy designed to provide
maximum support for our kaumaatua, the caretakers of our
maatauranga, and experts of our reo and tikanga, is a key
priority. Our whenua, rivers, lakes and other waterways are
living embodiments of our tribal identity. The necessity to
forge a partnership with the Crown is vital to the preservation
and protection of ’te taiao’, our environment.
