Key dimensions of Te Whetū Rehua

By Māori - This refers to the degree that activities are governed, managed and/or delivered by Māori within an organisation. This dimension supports the principles of rangatiratanga / self determination

With Māori language and cutural values - Te Reo me ngā Tikanga – Māori language and culture are central to survival and expression of unique Māori identity. Kaupapa Māori activities have a role to contribute to the promotion, strengthening and upholding of Te Reo and Tikanga. This dimension brings to life the Tiriti Principle of Protection 

In/On - Places and spaces of whakapapa connection (e.g. marae, awa, maunga) are of significant importance to Māori. They provide access to enhancing cultural identity and connection to place or space. This dimension brings to life the Tiriti Principles of Partnership, Protection and Participation

For Māori - The concept of whānau is highly valued in Te Ao Māori. Participating as Māori in modern times links to both traditional whakapapa whānau (genealogical connections) and Kaupapa Māori whānau collectives (e.g. Kōhanga Reo, Tairāwhiti Māori Netball).  The principle of whanaungatanga (connections, relationships) is affirmed through this element. This dimension brings to life the Tiriti Principle of Participation

Through - Activity types that place an emphasis on the development and advancement of traditional physical activities, but are also inclusive of contemporary activities.
• Ngā Taonga Tākaro (traditional Māori sports)
• Ngā Kēmu Tawhito (traditional Māori games)
• Ngā Mahi a te Rēhia (traditional Māori performance arts)
