Te Matawai works collaboratively across Aotearoa to restore te reo Maori as a vibrant language used widely and ultimately to be nurtured as a first language in homes and communities.
Te Matawai was established to act on behalf of iwi and Maori to:
lead the promotion of the health and well-being of te reo Maori for iwi and Maori, and at the community level;
support, inform and influence the Crown's initiatives in protecting, promoting and revitalising te reo Maori;
give effect, through its association with Ministers of the Crown, to the relationship of the Crown with iwi and Maori in relation to te reo Maori; and
provide oversight and direction to the Maori Television Service in conjunction with the Minister for Maori Development and the Minister of Finance.
Te Matawai has an innovative organisational model that is driven by evidence-based strategy as we seek to build capability across the Maori language revitalisation movement through relationships, resourcing and community empowerment.
Our organisational culture is underpinned by practices that reflect Te Ao Maori perspectives. We are responsive to the distinct experiences and needs of our Kahui, kaitono and whanau and our bespoke design and ability to be agile and responsive are key features of our approach. Te Matawai is committed to empowering the people of our Kahui to lead change within their own communities, helping to foster mutual confidence in connections with communities, decision makers and government agencies.
Through collaborative relationships and intelligent strategy, Te Matawai is redefining what the partnership model can look like, generating the conditions for systems change within Te Whare o te Reo Mauriora.
