Ngai Tauira Maori Students Association

Ngāi Tauira – the Māori students’ association, represents the interests of tauira Māori studying  at Victoria University. Ngāi Tauira provides a legitimate voice for tauira Māori whereby they can feel comfortable and culturally safe within a Western academic environment.

The aim of Ngāi Tauira is to help nurture, and foster the academic, cultural, political and social potential of tauira in a manner that is consistent with Te Tiriti o Waitangi, its principles and its practices. Ngāi Tauira also supports any initiative that encourages the practice of te reo Māori and tikanga Māori at Victoria University.

Ngāi Tauira – te huinga tauira Māori, e mahi ana i ngā mahi mō ngā tauira Māori e ako ana i te Wānanga o Wikitōria. E hoatu reo tika ana mō ngā tauira Māori e taea ai te whakangahau atu kia whakawhitiwhitihia a rātou tikanga i roto i te taiao akoranga Pākēhā.

Ko te aronga o Ngai Tauira he āwhina, he tiaki i ngā mahi akoranga, mahi tikanga, mahi tōrangapū me nga mahi hāpori kia pā hāngai ki te Tiriti o Waitangi, i ōna kaupapa me ōna whakawai. Kei te manaaki a Ngāi Tauira i ngā mea whakatimata e whakahau ana i ngā whakawai o te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori i te Whare Wānanga.
