Tena koutou katoa.
Greetings to you all.
M膩ori culture is central to New Zealand's fresh, invigorating and adventurous national identity.
A Taste of Culture module, facilitated by Pauline Gray Student Relations Coordinator 鈥� M膩ori at Waikato Management School, showcases M膩ori culture as an integral part of Kiwi life and adding a unique and dynamic experience to our Executive Training Programme.
Starting with a mihi whakatau in te reo M膩ori, participants are immediately involved and are encouraged to share their culture too. A brief history of the Waikato and Kingitanga (King movement) shows the unique relationship that the university has with Waikato/Tainui , the local iwi of this area.
Groups are encouraged to take part and are taught a waiata which is appropriate to the programme theme and often sung by the group at their Farewell ceremony.
