Nuku Ora is committed to honouring the provisions of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, ensuring it’s visible within our identity, our mahi, and throughout the rohe. We acknowledge the mana whenua of the region; Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki, Te Ātiawa ki Whakarongotai, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Taranaki Whānui, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Rangitāne o Wairarapa.
We view Te Tiriti o Waitangi as a living document, intended to protect and promote the interests of tangata whenua into the future, and sets a precedent for respectful partnerships. Nuku Ora has a commitment to ensuring staff and representatives develop a responsive approach to engaging and working with and for Māori.
Nuku Ora has taken deliberate steps to formally acknowledge our commitment to our Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Our commitment is embedded within our Trust Deed and flows through to our Te Tiriti o Waitangi Policy and strategic priority, kaimahi professional development priorities, and in our growing partnerships with mana whenua and Māori organisations.
