Hoahoa Māori Māori design
This is the world’s leading resource on Māori design where you’ll find insights, resources and examples of Māori design best practice. The bedrock of the guidance provided here is the seven outcomes-focused around the Te Aranga Principles. These principles express the thinking, input and tikanga of numerous iwi throughout Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond.
Ma te kōrero ka mōhio
Ma te mōhio ka mārama
Ma te mārama ka mātau
Ma te mātau ka ora ai tātou
By discussing, learning begins By learning, understanding follows
By understanding, knowledge acquired
By acquiring knowledge, we all prosper
