Ko töku reo, töku ohooho; töku reo, töku mapihi maurea; töku reo, töku whakakai marihi. My language is my inspiration, my special gift, my precious treasure. REALISING MÄORI POTENTIAL MÄTAURANGA KNOWLEDGE 1 WHAKAMANA INFLUENCE + + = RAWA RESOURCES TE IRA TANGATA LIFE QUALITY 2 3 4 1 Mätauranga – Building of knowledge and skills. This area acknowledges the importance of knowledge to building confidence and identity, growing skills and talents and generating innovation and creativity. Knowledge and skills are considered as a key enabler of Mäori potential as they underpin choice and the power to act to improve life quality. 2 Whakamana – Strengthening of leadership and decision-making. 3 Rawa – Development and use of resources. 4 Te Ira Tangata – The quality of life to realise potential. The framework above identifies three key enablers that are fundamental to Mäori achieving Te Ira Tangata (improved life quality) and realising their potential. All our written information has been organised within these three key enablers or Te Ira Tangata. DISCLAIMER The information contained in this publication is for general information only.
