Moerangi Rakaupai - Pouarahi<br />
This year is fast drawing to a close and I have to say it has<br />
been absolutely full on. Te Korowai Aroha o Aotearoa has<br />
delivered four training sites this year with the Mauri Ora<br />
National site in Tūwharetoa together with the three Mahuri<br />
Totara sites in Wairarapa, Tamaki Makaurau and<br />
Tūwharetoa.<br />
According to feedback we have received the Mauri Ora<br />
training has proven to be a great success with the<br />
Kaiwhakaruruhau experiencing ihi, wehi and wana<br />
transformations with each noho marae.<br />
The Māhuri Tōtara noho attended by the rangatahi have<br />
been very deliberate and consistent in what has been<br />
delivered and certainly the rangatahi have benefited<br />
greatly from the training delivered and the support they<br />
have received from their own whānau. Whānau feedback<br />
has marvelled at the positive change in their rangatahi and<br />
we are being asked to go back to those sites next year in<br />
2018.<br />
Te Korowai Aroha o Aotearoa is most appreciative and<br />
grateful for the support that whānau and haukainga have<br />
afforded to all our noho marae so far this year, we look<br />
forward to seeing you all in December at our Hui a Tau<br />
which will be held here in Whakatane.<br />

Te Tūtohinga o Te Pū Wānanga o Te Korowai Aroha o Aotearoa<br />
He mea pono e Te Korowai Aroha o Aotearoa ki ngā tikanga mātauranga e noho motuhenga nei ki ngā<br />
tikanga kaingākau o te tangata whenua o Aotearoa (Māori). I runga anō i te māramatanga i takea mai ēnei<br />
tikanga i te pū-ihi (divine source), he mea hoatu anō hoki ki te ira tangata kia ora ai i roto i te ao mārama. E<br />
horapa kau ana te rongo pēhi ki ngā iwi taketake e noho nei i ngā ao rawanui, ko te aronga rā ia kia rewa ake<br />
i te raupatutanga i whakapanonitia a tuawhakarere.<br />
Nō konei e whakapuaki ai ngā whakawhiu taumaha, uaua anō hoki e tute nei te whakakitenga Māori. E<br />
whakapono ana mātou ka hīia ake ai ngā rongoā ki ēnei whakawhiunga i te mātauranga hou e oroko mai i te<br />
mātauranga o whakapatā me ngā tikanga tuku ihoā ngā tīpuna.<br />
Te Korowai Aroha o Aotearoa is dedicated to a knowledge system that is authentic to the beliefs and values<br />
of the Indigenous Peoples (Māori) of Aotearoa. This system is based on the view that all knowledge originates<br />
from a divine source and was given to humankind to manage existence in Te Ao Mārama (the world<br />
of light). We share the experience of other<br />
Indigenous Peoples in first world nations who strive to transcend the legacy of colonisation that has<br />
changed the world as we knew it. This presents Indigenous Peoples with new and complex issues that<br />
challenge our view of the world. We believe the answers to these challenges lie in the emergence of new<br />
knowledge based on ancient wisdom and traditions handed down to us from our ancestors.<br />
