NGAA TOHU FRAMEWORK
Whakatupuranga 2050
Roadmap for five-year plan alignment to five key pou.
Whakatupuranga Waikato-Tainui 2050 is the blueprint for cultural, social and economic advancement for our people.
It’s a fifty-year long development approach to building the capacity of our iwi, hapuu and marae.
Whakatupuranga 2050 will be our legacy for those who come after us. The prioritised work streams that are now seen in the Five-Year Plan have been developed to deliver outcomes in line with our three strategic objectives (noted below), our Ngaa Tohu framework (pictured left).
The King Movement is the unifying korowai of Maaori. Kiingitanga was established in 1858 to unite all tribes under the leadership of Pootatau Te Wherowhero. Its primary goals were to cease the sale of land to Paakehaa, stop inter-tribal warfare, and provide a springboard for the preservation of Maaori culture in the face of Paakehaa colonisation. As it has done for the past 160 years, the role of Kiingitanga will still be the unifying thread of all Iwi, under the seventh monarch, Kiingi Tuheitia.

Maanawatia a Matariki
Matariki Hunga Nui
Matariki Hunga Nui means the many people of Matariki. It speaks to how Matariki calls people to gather together to remember and honour those we have lost since the last rising of Matariki.
Matariki AHunga Nui
Matariki Ahunga Nui talks to the great food piles of Matariki. Communities and whānau would gather to give thanks for all the blessings of the past year, and reconnect with one another.
Matariki MANAKO Nui
Matariki Manako Nui refers to wishes and desires. Māori would send their hopes and dreams into the stars during Matariki. This was a period for learning, sharing, discussion and decision making. One of the key points of discussion during Matariki was the environment, especially the health of the environment. Many wishes of the ancestors were connected to wellbeing of people and the taiao. Māori understood that lives depended on maintaining a strong connection to the physical world and caring for nature.
