Welcome to the Cultural Intelligence app MĀIA for Kāinga Ora.

This app has been created as a cultural intelligence tool to provide support in understanding Te Ao Māori – The Māori world view. Like many apps you can use it at work, at home or anywhere on the move. But unlike any other app, MĀIA has been designed specifically for the Kāinga Ora working environment, so it’s loaded with applicable contexts and key information relevant to your journey as a representative of Kāinga Ora.

MĀIA includes information on:
• Aotearoa IWI (Iwi & Hapū of Aotearoa)
• Tikanga (Māori customs and protocols)
• Pōwhiri (Welcoming process)
• Te Reo Māori (Māori language)
• Waiata (songs)
• Whakataukī (proverbs)

Using MĀIA will increase your cultural knowledge, giving you confidence to engage with Māori, thereby increasing your comfort and effectiveness with Māori people (Iwi/ Hapū/ Whānau), and their cultural practices.
