Culturally grounded programmes and advisory
Te Tira Hou Solutions provides Māori-led cultural advisory, professional learning, and tailored capability programmes across Horowhenua-Manwatū and Rangitāne. Every offering is customised to honour your organisation's aspirations, experience, and confidence level.
Our core learning streams
We build confident, respectful environments where people can engage with te ao Māori safely. From foundational conversational language to ceremonial protocols and strategic advisory, explore our core areas of service.
Language, tikanga and kawa
Strengthen everyday practice through practical te reo Māori, mihimihi, and waiata sessions, alongside essential guidance in customs, values, and local protocols within te ao Māori.
Ceremonial engagement and marae
Develop practical understanding of pōwhiri stages, roles, and expectations. We provide supportive pathways in karanga and whaikōrero foundations, as well as rich, immersive marae-based learning for Kaupapa Māori such as Matariki Celbrations and The "Poukai".
Advisory and professional learning
Equip staff and leadership with cultural responsiveness PLD, Pou Tikanga advisory for governance, local curriculum integration, and collaborative cross-school cluster programmes.
Every programme is tailored
We believe cultural capability flourishes through respectful, relationship-based delivery. Whether you represent an individual kura, a government department, a business, or a community organisation, our workshops, marae experiences, and advisory packages are shaped to align with your specific goals.
