Hūtia te rito o te harakere
Kei hea te kōmako e kō?
Kī mai ki ahau;
He aha te mea nui o te Ao?
Māku e kī atu; he tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
Ngā Tauira Māori is the official Māori Student Association of the University of Auckland. We uplift and support Māori students in endeavouring towards all the pathways they aspire to. We seek to preserve and develop the use of tikanga and Te Reo Māori within the University and the tauira. We strive to support Māori students in their formal education as well as in awareness and understanding of their surrounding world. We aim to inspire our tauira to influence their environments through an understanding of who they are as tangata whenua.

Mauri ora ki a tātou!
I tipu ake tēnei i te nōta! Hūnuku ai ki Tāmaki mō te Whare Wānanga. E whai ana au i ngā tohu Pakihi me te Toi. Ko ōku tino whāinga o te tau, kia tū pakari ai a Ngā Tauira Māori i raro i te whakaaro kōtahi. Noho tāwhiti, tū kōtahi e tātou mā!

Tēnā tātou, I tangata mai tēnei i ngā rekereke o ngā ruruhi koroheke e noho nei i raru i te maru o te Kīngitanga. Engari e karanga ana ko Tūranga-nui-a-Kiwa tōku ahuru mōwai. My majors are Psychology and Criminology. Ngā Tauira Māori is the pou behind every successful Māori student and I hope to extend that support system for our future tauira. Mauriora!
