Kōrari is the Ngā Kete Matauranga Pounamu māori public health team. The name Kōrari is the name of the reed of a traditional Ngāi Tahu vessel that our tīpuna used to transport people and supplies by water. The mōkihi represents a mātauranga māori strength, empowerment and resiliency. Our mahi is presented through a Te Ao Māori lens and is guided by indigeneous knowledge, te reo me ona tīkanga and te taiao (the natural environment). Kōrari responds to the needs of the māori community, collaborates with other hāpori groups and organisations and keeps whānau at the centre of all mahi to support an overarching vision to see that Māori in Murihiku are well.
