He Mihi
Ka oho te wairua,
Ka mataara te tinana,
He aroha ki te aroha
Ka kā te rama
Ko Ranginui e tū nei
Ko Papatūānuku e takoto nei
Nā Io Matua Kore,
Nā te Atua katoa i hanga.
Ki te Kāhui Ariki nō te whare nui o Pōtatau,
Pai mārire ki a rātou katoa
E ngā hapū, e ngā iwi, e ngā marae maha,
Heke mai ki tā tātou pae tukutuku.
E noho tonu nei i raro i ngā manaakitanga o tō tātou kaihanga,
Tēnā koutou me ngā whakaaro rangatira.
Ka nui āku mihi ki ngā kaiwhakahaere me ngā poutokomanawa i ngā rōpū whakahaere.
Haere mai whānau, hōmai ki a mātou tā koutou manaakitanga i tēnei pae tukutuku.
Mauria mai ō koutou whakaaro me ā koutou pānui anō hoki.
Nō reira, e ngā rōpū whakahaere, he mihi aroha anō tēnei ki a koutou
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou
What we do
Matua Raḵi supports the development of a national Māori addiction leadership rōpū whose expertise and specialist knowledge of te ao Māori can be used to manaaki Māori and non-Māori towards achieving wellbeing.
We do this through:
- developing e-learning training to increase cultural competency for mental health and addiction workers working alongside tāngata whai ora and whānau Māori
- sharing pānui regarding hui, training, and conferences
- promoting Māori addiction models and approaches that are relevant and purposeful for addiction practitioners to engage effectively with tāngata whai ora and whānau Māori.
