Mana Rakatahi ki Moeraki

Pou Herenga Tangata Awardee 2021

Tiana Mihaere, (Kāi Tahu, Kāti Mamoe, Waitaha, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Te Wairoa, Rangitāne, Ngāti Rakaipaaka, Ngāi Tamanuhiri, Ngāti Maniapoto) leads Mana Rakatahi ki Moeraki, a kaupapa all about inspiring the next generation of leaders to be empowered by their whakapapa.

The impacts of colonisation and the urbanisation of takata Moeraki have created numerous barriers for whānau to engage. This kaupapa aims to heal the disconnection of whānau to Moeraki and create spaces for future tamariki to engage with their peers.
