In 2019 Recreation Aotearoa made a constitutional commitment to the principles of Tiriti o Waitangi and an aspiration to developing working partnerships with Māori whānau, hapū and iwi to realise this commitment.
Significant steps in this journey were the appointment of a Board member to bring an understanding of Te Tiriti at the governance level, building the capability of Recreation Aotearoa staff, and the establishment of Te Kāhui Kura Māori.

The Board and Te Kāhui Kura Māori set out to co-create this strategy. We have learnt much during this process including the importance of engaging from the beginning, the richness of marae-based wānanga (workshop), and the value of meeting kanohi-ki-kanohi (face-to-face).
Listen as Bobbi Clarke-Heu explains the involvement of Te Kāhui Kura Māori in the planning process
