Team Updates

Te Pito Hononga Ki Te Ati Awa
Reflecting on Sir Maui Pomare Day
We started with the unveiling of the magnificent carvings at the Ngāti Rahiri offices, a powerful testament to our whakapapa, rich cultural heritage and enduring unity. This event was particularly significant as the iwi noted that there hasn’t been a presence like this from Ngāpuhi in over 50 years.
Following this, we celebrated Sir Maui Pomare Day, a time to honour the legacy of a trailblazing Māori leader and health reformer. It was a day of reflection on current Māori health issues and opportunities, inspired by Sir Maui Pomare's enduring contributions.
