Kaitiakitanga – Custodianship

We manage our taonga responsibily and sustainably.

Toitū te marae a Tāne, toitū te marae a Tangaroa, toitū te Iwi.

When the realm of Tāne and the domain of Tangaroa are sustained so too is the future of our people.

 

Pono - Integrity

We are honest, open and accountable.

Tama tū tama ora, tama noho tama mate.

Industrious people flourish. 

 

Rangatiratanga - Chieftainship

We are courageous and in control of our destiny.

E kore e ngaro; te kākano i ruia mai i Rangiātea.

I value my past it is the foundation of my future.

Manaakitanga - Care

We respect, nurture and support one another.

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata!

What is most important in the world?  It is people, people, people!

Auahatanga - Innovation

We are adaptable and creative.

Whāia e koe te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me maunga teitei.

Aim high and persue excellence.

 

Whanaungatanga - Relationships

We are a family business, and value our relationships.

Ehara taku toa i te takitahi, he takitini kē.

Success is not individual but collective.
