Key principles in te ao Maori include manaakitanga (hospitality), Kaitiakitanga (caring), and koha (reciprocity). Whakarewarewa - The Living Maori Village is fully owned by the Whakarewarewa Village Charitable Trust, which gives back to our people, heritage and environment. We support education and personal development for our community, care for our environment, and look after our tamariki (children), rangatahi (youth), kuia and koeke (elderly). We also contribute to social events like tangihanga (funerals) and cultural activities, including our famous kapa haka (concert party) performers. Every dollar we earn supports these initiatives. We welcome your koha (contributions) to continue the legacy for Village and our Tanagta Whenua.
