Tamatū & Hinetū

Tamatū and Hinetū are support groups empowering men and women to make positive life changes, starting with themselves and extending to their whānau and community. These groups focus on holistic well-being, incorporating Te Reo, Tikanga, and connections to local environments and marae.

By fostering small daily habits, such as exercise, healthy eating, and nurturing positive relationships, Tamatū and Hinetū aim to normalise health and fitness, both online and in person.

This initiative empowers our people to reclaim their rangatiratanga by making small changes in their behaviours and lifestyles so they can stand tall and strong - kia rangatira te tū!

Ngā Mema O Te Tarahiti

Ko tēnei tarahiti o Tiakina Te Pā, he tirohanga whānui o te tangata, tane mai, wahine mai. Kia tū hei pou mō te whānau, mō te hapū, mō te iwi. Ka tiakina te whare o te tangata, ka tupu ka rea, kia tu tangatanga. Ko te tūmanako nui ia, haere ka roa, mā te tangata e tiaki ai te whānau, te hapū, te iwi nui tonu, ka hoki mai ia hei tauira mō tōna iwi, mō tōna pā kāinga.
