Te Hotu Manawa Māori

Te Hotu Manawa Māori

"Te Hotu Manawa Māori has been an independent national organisation since 1997, and was given it's name by Tuhoe kaumātua Tawhao Tioke. The word "hotu" refers to a particular sob or cry that characterised traditional Maori singing (as exemplified by the vocal style of the legendary Ana Hato). "Manawa" refers to Te Hotu Manawa Māori's focus - Māori heart health.

Te Hotu Manawa Māori delivers health services "by Māori for Māori", providing solutions tailored to meet the needs of Māori. In doing so, Te Hotu Manawa Māori reinforces the principles and values of both tikanga and kaupapa Māori imperatives."

 

Te Reo Marama

Te Reo Marama

"Since 1998, Te Reo Mārama has been dedicated, on behalf of the Auahi Kore-Tupeka Kore community and the wider Māori community, to tobacco resistance. Te Reo Mārama was named by kaumatua Amster Reedy to reflect the core job of enlightening people about tobacco issues that were relevant to Māori.

The main role undertaken is to advocate evidence-based positions on tobacco-related issues at a local, national and international level. If Māori rates are to continue the trend downwards then further changes in Government & Non-Government policy and funding needs to be challenged so as to support the priority population - Māori."
