With the huge distances, vast geography and the dispersed nature of Te Waipounamu and Rēkohu Māori communities, this rohe is so unique.

Te Reo Tukutuku is made up of four clusters of organisations listed in the Act. Ten long-standing Māori national bodies represent education, media, community and urban interests. The development of clear criteria for selecting Kaitono has simplified assessments and focused attention on these legacy groups.Sign In

Te Mātāwai Board (the Board) consists of 13 members. Seven are appointed by and for Kāhui ā-rohe o ngā iwi, four by Te Reo Tukutuku organisations, and two by the Minister of Māori Development. As a collective of governors, the Board leads Māori language revitalisation efforts; influences and leverages Crown activities and investments in Māori language revitalisation; and effectively discharges its fiduciary (‘trustee’) responsibilities.
Te Mātāwai has eight Pae Motuhake to represent iwi: seven Kāhui ā-iwi and Te Reo Tukutuku, a collective of sector-based organisations. Each Pae Motuhake has a maximum of nine appointees, including a Chair who is also the Te Mātāwai Board representative. The role of the Chair is to ensure the Pae Motuhake are well informed to carry out their role in an open and transparent manner. Pae Motuhake connect the strategies and activities of Te Mātāwai with the needs of their Kāhui.
Te Mātāwai has a team of experienced staff who are passionate about the revitalisation of the Māori language and committed to support the achievement of the strategic direction set by the Board.
