A Living Taonga

Welcome to Mangaora A, the heart of our whānau. Here we share our story, values, and vision, preserving whakapapa and supporting initiatives for future generations. Explore our journey and connect with the spirit of whānau that guides us.

Our Vision

He Taonga Tuku Iho, Mai Ngā Tupuna, Mo Ngā Uri Whakatupu, Mo Ake Tonu Atu – A treasure from our ancestors, for the generations to come. This vision guides everything we do, honouring our past while nurturing a strong, sustainable future.

Our Guiding Pou

Mangaora A stands on five Pou (pillars) that guide our work: Kaitiakitanga (Environmental Guardianship), Tikanga (Customs & Protocols), Mātauranga (Knowledge & Research), Tiaki Moana (Marine Care), and Tiaki Pūtea (Financial Stewardship). Our achievement-based committee ensures these Pou shape every initiative and activity.
