The meaning of Te Kōrari

In Te Ao Māori, there has always been an engrained connection between Māori and the natural world. Knowing this connection, it was important for the name to reflect this and to give it life.

Kōrari is the name of the flower stalk in the very centre of Harakeke. Kōrari attract birds because of the nutrients its flowers produce, for rest and as a platform to scan where to go next.

Much like in nature, Te Kōrari hopes to be a place for Māori to:

  • see supports tailored and marketed in a positive way.
  • feel uplifted by stories celebrating excellence and success.
  • pursue their aspirations using the provided pathways.

Building pathways to employment

In 2022, Te Mahere Whai Mahi Māori | The Māori Employment Action Plan (external site)was released. Its vision is for Māori to exercise rangatiratanga and create intergenerational wellbeing through work. Recognising Te Mahere as part of a broader goal of developing the largest Māori asset, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

In 2020, Te Ara Mahi Māori (external site) – an independent reference group – was formed to recommend to the Government what to include in the Māori Employment Action Plan. The name Te Ara Mahi Māori represents the group’s aspirations to build pathways to employment.
