Haere mai - Welcome

Te Puni Kōkiri (Ministry of Māori Development) is the Crown’s principal adviser on Crown-Māori relationships. We also guide Māori public policy by advising Government on policy affecting Māori wellbeing and development. Te Puni Kōkiri means a group moving forward together. As the name implies, we seek to harness the collective talents of Māori to produce a stronger New Zealand.

Kōkiri 16 2009

Since 2006 at least one Kōkiri per year has been produced entirely in te reo Māori in line with the wishes of you the readers - as an educational resource for kōhanga/kura and wānanga also for those beginners and fluent speakers. Kōkiri 16 celebrates the career and life of Sir Howard Morrison as one of New Zealand’s best loved entertainers. In our iwi profile we take a look at the statistics for our largest iwi Ngāpuhi. We are also present at the many national Māori awards including Pikihuia Awards, Te Waka Toi Awards, 2009 Westfield Style Pasifika. Finally we profile our kaumātua who is 100 years old and was in the infamous 28 Māori Battalion. Kōkiri 16 is jam packed with examples of Māori succeeding as Māori. Read More »
