Kia hiwa rā!

People are our greatest taonga - it is through our people that the tribal legacy lives. Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu exists to grow and develop Ngāi Tahu whānau members, so they are culturally able, well-connected to their Ngāi Tahu community and outstanding performers in their chosen field. As shared-service function, Toi Tangata (People & Culture) supports Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Group to realise the Ngāi Tahu tribal vision: mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei - for us and our children after us, through their mahi.
