Tēnā koutou e hika mā!‍

This month’s edition of Nāti Link – Digital celebrates the people, kaupapa and partnerships helping to create positive change and shape a stronger future for Ngāti Porou.‍

Bringing together stories from Te Rūnanganui o Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Porou Oranga, Toitū Ngāti Porou and Nāti Growth, we share the mahi happening across our iwi and the people behind this mahi.‍

In this edition, we celebrate rangatahi exploring future pathways, kaimahi building knowledge and connections, whānau strengthening their resilience, and kaupapa that bring our communities together.‍

We also share the mahi supporting our collective future – from investment and economic growth to housing, recovery and regional development.‍

Together, these stories reflect the many ways our people are working to support whānau today, strengthen our communities, and create opportunities for generations to come.‍

Stay connected. Stay engaged.
