Welcome to Taki, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited’s go-to resource for te reo and tikanga Māori.

Taki has been designed to support your haerenga (journey) in learning about
Māori culture and to build your confidence in engaging with Māori.

Understanding te ao Māori is essential to valuing the essence of Māori. The Māori world view is anchored in holistic philosophy and beliefs, where everything and everyone is connected. These connections extend over generations from atua (ancestral guardians) through to the natural environment and people.

Foundations of Māori Cultural Values:
Knowledge, Practice, and Transmission

Māori cultural values and perspectives are supported by a body of highly specialised knowledge and
practice developed and transferred over many generations through kōrero (conversations), waiata
(songs), karakia (ritual chants and blessings), tikanga (customary practice) and whakapapa (genealogy).

“Kia ako koutou i raro i te korowai o te maungārongo me te māramatanga.”

“May you learn under the cloak of
peace and understanding.”
