Ngā Kete o Te Ao Māori

Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre is a Māori Land specialist law centre for Ngāi Tahu whānau and we provide free services for Ngāi Tahu. We have four lawyers and our manager travelling from Dunedin to attend Hui ā Iwi this year. We would like to have a stall to be more visible for Ngāi Tahu whānau, that we are a service for them and their whānau to access to awhi with their Māori Land issues. We have just opened an office in Ōtautahi, to be more accessible for whānau. We do not need anything big, just a space for whānau to see us, be able to come and kōrero and know there are lawyers here to help free of charge. We may have some tshirts and/or hoodies we could bring to give to whānau for free.

Our kaupapa is to connect people with opportunities to learn, grow and find their place. At our stall, we’ll be promoting our 2027 programmes and encouraging attendees to explore opportunities to upskill, whether they’re interested in learning te reo Māori, toi, social work, adult and tertiary teaching, small business or project management and more. We’ll provide information about our programmes, answer questions and kōrero with attendees about their aspirations and how Te Wānanga o Aotearoa can support them on their learning journey.

Te Puna Oranga, established for 42 years is the only Kaupapa Maori Social Service based in Christchurch that specializes in working with whanau impacted by sexual violence. We offer prevention and intervention services based on our tikanga principles. The services we offer include Counselling, Social work advocacy, youth mentoring, sexual violence crisis response, family violence crisis response, education. We are currently delivering safety awareness programmes to rangatahi maori within Christchurch schools as well as delivering a safety awareness programmes for wahine maori. Our stall aims to bring awareness to whanau that there is a kaupapa maori agency where they can go to get support on their healing journey from highly skilled, experienced and trained staff., that they are not alone on their journey, that the service is highly confidential and private, and that it is possible to heal and protect whanau. Our stall aims to bring information to local whanau and provide a kaupapa maori option for support.

Our intention for this kaupapa is not recruitment, but rather to be present and actively engage in a kaupapa Māori event. We have had limited opportunities to connect with large groups of Māori across our region, and this event provides a valuable opportunity to build relationships, strengthen community connections, and raise awareness of the support and opportunities available through Ara. We will have information and resources available for whānau who are interested in learning more, but our focus is on creating a fun, welcoming space where whānau can connect, share whakaaro, and be involved in activities with opportunities to win prizes. We anticipate having one to two staff members at the stall at any given time, with team members rotating throughout the event depending on availability.

This stall will be promoting Bowel, breast and cervical screening. The signs and symptoms and the importance of being screened for bowel, breast and cervical screening. it will also have bowel screening test kits available for those eligible along with information on the eligibility criteria for all the above screening services

We are a whanau owned merchandise and apparel company, every year we are given Iwi and Hapu orders that keep us busy working overtime leading up to Hui-a-Iwi and then we relax during the event! This year we are FINALLY able to bring our team to showcase our business at the event and provide some live printing at our stall. We hope you will have us :)

Tāwhaki would like to bring Kaitorete to the hui a iwi. Tawhaki is a dual kaupapa that seeks to heal and rejuvenate Kaitorete as well as advance Aotearoa Aerospace industry. We will have a mix of whenua rejuvenation and aerospace operators that will join us in our stall to demonstrate what we are doing to achive this

Paemanu are a group of over 60 Ngāi Tahu artists, and art professionals committed to exploring Ngāi Tahutanga through contemporary art. We welcome all Ngāi Tahu artists to take part in wānaka, exhibitions, residencies and other kaupapa. This year we'd like to bring an offering of interactive mahi toi through printmaking, pigments and a collaborative tīrewa, or drying rack. This lively stall celebrates both our significant toi traditions, and mahika kai practices. It will be a warm and interesting offering for artists, and many whānau attending. Please see the attached document for photos, and more information. Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou!

I’m Meea, a 20-year-old Māori girl from Queenstown and the owner of Ahi Candles. Ahi means “fire” in te reo Māori, which is where the name came from. I started Ahi Candles because I wanted to create something different from the usual candles you see. I make drink-inspired candles like iced matcha, cocktails and fruity drinks, which are all handmade and designed to look like the real thing. They make the perfect gift or a cute accessory for any home. I love being creative and turning something I enjoy into a small business, and I’d love to bring Ahi Candles along to your market. I’ve been selling candles for just under a year at the Remarkables market and markets around Queenstown I also sell them online and have had really good results. My sister has also applied to the market selling prints her buisness name is dead battery creative it would be lovely to be put next to her no worries if not. Thankyou for your time. Meea

This site is for Ngāi Tahu Holdings to be shared amongst our business units: Ngāi Tahu Tourism Ngāi Tahu Farming Ngāi Tahu Property Ngāi Tahu Investments Ngāi Tahu Seafoods We are working through a plan with each of them as to how they will present their kaupapa to whānau. Thanks.

NZMA is a private tertiary education provider, part of the UP Education Group. NZMA group itself includes New Zealand Institute of Sport, Land Based Training, The Culinary Collection & ServiceIQ covering programmes in industries such as health, sport & exercise, hospitality & cookery, agriculture and primary industries, early childcare, foundation learning and youth. We would love the opportunity to be at the market to share what we do in the tertiary education space and how we can support whānau to gain a higher education and transition into meaningful and sustainable employment. We believe education is about more than gaining a qualification. It is about building confidence, capability and meaningful pathways to a sustainable future for learners, their whānau and their communities. Our approach combines hands-on, practical training with strong learner support, ensuring students are not only gaining relevant industry skills, but are supported to stay engaged, overcome barriers and succeed throughout their learning journey. We recognise that every learner brings their own strengths, experiences and aspirations. That is why we focus on creating an environment where learners feel supported, connected and confident in their ability to succeed. It’s important for us to make education a pathway to opportunity, not an endpoint.

We will be selling books from the Ngāi Tahu Shop. We would also like to have a large TV screen to play old Ngāi Tahu footage from Ngā Taonga Sound and Vision. I think also we will have an interpretation display board promoting the Ngāi Tahu / Yamada Relationship. We will probably need 2 trestle tables to display and sell books from.

At the Bioeconomy Science Institute, our world-class science advances innovation in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, aquaculture, biotechnology and manufacturing; protects and enhances ecosystems from biosecurity threats and climate risk; and develops new bio-based technologies and products.

Irie art is a small mother daughter pakihi from otautahi we accidentally started our business 8 years ago just through getting creative and working together from home which then turned into business opportunities there isn't alot of maori down here in the south so we wanted to build our business based on our values of te ao maori, whanau being our main focus. We make custom clothing off stage uniforms 21st keys, jewelry, urns hand woven potae whole sale orders and much more. We also sell over 30 products from other pakihi across the motu. Our support system isn't that great in tewaipounamu. So we travel to all the events up north to keep our business running. Giving back to the community we support a few maori schools kohanga rugby teams with fundraising and sponsorship when we can to help our rangatahi achieve their goals weather it's for travel to haka or some team tees we would love to be apart of this kaupapa again as this not only helps boost our business it enables us to show our people 1st hand what we are capable of doing nga mihi look forward to hearing from you Irie art

Our story begins with two Taua, Mere Harper and Ria Tikini of Kāti Huirapa and Kāi Te Ruahikihiki descent alongside Lady Plunket who paved the way for our Kaupapa, known today as Whānau Āwhina Plunket. At Whānau Āwhina we see nearly 60% of all tamariki Māori and whānau in Aotearoa with many clinics in communities across Te Waipounamu. We would love the opportunity to give back to the people of our two taua at Ngāi Tahu Hui-ā-Tau 2026. Having prior experience at significant Hui Māori such as Waitangi Day at Waitangi, Koroneihana, and Te Matatini, we know how challenging it can be at times for whānau to navigate a hui with tamariki and mokopuna in tow, so we want to provide practical support to help whānau enjoy the hui such as much as possible. What we'll bring: - A safe changing area with access to free nappies and wipes, rash creams etc (we will dispose all rubbish regularly). - A feeding station with hot water and breastfeeding support. - Carseat advice and giveaways. - Health promotion and Well Child checks. - Pōtae and pātara wai for tamariki. - A wāhi whakatā for whānau and activities for tamariki. We are also happy to work in collaboration with any other services or whānau with a focus on caring for tamariki. We have a team of passionate Kaimahi Māori including Kaiāwhina, Nurses, volunteers and community services specialists ready to respond to the needs of whānau.

He mahi a ringa, he mahi aroha, he mahi ma te iwi. Mirimriri - is not just the physical body; it's about the whole person- tinana, hinengaro, wairua and whanau. We have traditional values, lived experience whilst walking along side whanau. Our stall is about healing for those that require enlightenment or want to experience our Māori traditional way of healing. Also have pani made by Symonde. Total of 4-5 kai-mirimiri practitioners

Hine has been a kaita for 8 years.and was mentored by Riki Manuel and Christine Harvey.

Kia ora we are a small whānau owned pakihi based in Ōtautahi specializing in natural skincare and taonga Māori. We have a range of balms, oils, soaps and jewelry all with a focus on Māori me ōna tikanga. We have a good connection with pakihi Māori within this robe and it would be an honour to be a part of this kaupapa.

This stall will mainly feature myself aswell as other kaitiaki pounamu carvers, we will be offering a full range of our pounamu works from roimata to tiki and everything in between. As kaitiaki pounamu we can guarantee the authenticity and legitimacy of the pounamu we offer, we also work closely with our cousins at Ngai Tahu Pounamu and can offer authentication through their system aswel, however our selling point is that we offer a real connection to the pounamu, we not only carve we also find what we work, often spending days out in our whenua finding stones and we share that korero so from the source to the wearer people know their taonga,

Aoraki Bound is the Ngāi Tahu leadership and cultural development programme which ran 2006-2020 as a partnership between OTRONT and Outward Bound. OTRONT have gifted the name and kaupapa to Pūruatia Trust for three years. We are bringing the programme out of hibernation, and want to run a stall to raise awareness among whānau about the new course, gather feedback on how to redesign it, and sign people up for pilot courses in 2027. We will share the stall with our sister organisations Give Us Your Kids (tikaka Māori and te reo-based school holiday programmes) and Reo Māori Mai (te reo lessons, translation and workshops etc). We'll bring resources and games for tamariki, a TV to play the Aoraki Bound documentary, books and photos etc. We have PLI, happy to provide certificates on request. NB most of our crew whakapapa to Ngāi Tahu, but happy to shift to the Community, Health and Small business category if more appropriate. (As an aside, it'd be awesome if you considered asking all stall holders not to give away disposable plastic trinkets to our tamariki. Last time so much stuff went straight to landfill, it felt at odds with the tikaka of the overall event. E mihi ana.)

Im an emerging ringa toi and im going to be displaying Toi Māori plus Taonga I have created myself alongside my cousin justice who will be selling taonga and poi sets. Hoping to get my name out there, network with others during that weekend and also reconnect with whānau and and old friends.

We will be offering free blood pressure, blood glucose, and uric acid testing (gout). We will also be offering free medicines advice. Last time at hui-ā-iwi we had one area but it was a bit too small to have consultations that had enough privacy (see attached image from last hui). Thinking that if we had a space that was the size of two stalls, we can set up two 'consultation' areas but that looks like one cohesive space. Keen to hear if that is possible.

I am a local Kai Ta and Whakairo artist that works for my Marae Te Runanga O Otakou.

My stall will celebrate Kāi Tahu visual tradition, innovation, and identity through toi grounded in whakapapa, research, and community. I will be selling my newly launched book, due for release in November, which was developed through my PhD at the Ngāi Tahu Centre. The book honours Kāi Tahu weaving traditions and includes kōrero from Kāi Tahu weavers Paula Rigby (Kāi Tūāhuriri) and Isaac Te Awa (Awarua), celebrating their expertise, insight, and the intergenerational strength of our whakapapa. I will also have a curated selection of art prints featuring weaving, kōwhaiwhai, and whakairo designs inspired by Kāi Tahu narratives, mahika kai, and our distinctive visual language. Each piece is created to uplift our stories and make Kāi Tahu identity visible in contemporary spaces so that whānau can celebrate our āhuataka no matter where they may be. I may also offer a small collection of hand‑woven works, continuing the weaving practice that underpins both my creative mahi and academic research. Examples of my mahi can be viewed on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/landlessnative/. I have worked other markets before at Little River and other kaupapa like conferences. I understand the mahi and hope to be able to bring my kaupapa to be amongst our iwi and hapū i tēnei kaupapa whakahirahira. Nō reira, nāia tāhaku owha atu ki a koutou i te whakaaro mai, me, ko te tūmanako, i te whai wāhi mai.

My creative practice is centred around illustration, design and fine art, with a strong connection to whenua, wai, native species and storytelling. As a Kāi Tahu artist, I’m interested in creating work that celebrates the places, people and stories that shape who we are. I work across commissioned illustration and design as well as my own artwork, and I’m increasingly developing my creative practice into a range of art prints and products that make my work more accessible to a wider audience. Being part of Ngā Kete Marketplace would be an opportunity to share my work with whānau, connect with other Ngāi Tahu creatives and businesses, and celebrate the diversity of creative enterprise within our iwi. I’d love to create a stall that brings together my original artwork, prints and other illustrated products, alongside examples of my design and illustration work. My work is ultimately about connection and storytelling. I enjoy taking inspiration from the natural world and our unique landscapes of Te Waipounamu and turning those ideas into something people can take home, enjoy and connect with. www.tuijohnson.com

Handcrafted contemporary jewellery

We are a cohort of ringa toi and Moko practitioners. We will be offering Moko and have Toi Māori made by our cohort for purchase. Consisting of myself, Paris Tainui and Madia Purvis-Manihera. We are all Kai Tahu.

My name is Kiara, and I create hand drawn illustrations inspired by my heritage and Māori culture. My whakapapa connects me to tīpuna who signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and that connection runs through much of what I create. Each illustration starts on paper before being brought together digitally, letting me keep the character of hand drawn linework while producing pieces suited to a range of products. I sell my designs as postcards, prints, sticker sheets, tote bags, shirts and hoodies, aiming to make my work accessible in different forms for different people. I'm a self-taught illustrator who has been drawing since I was young, and I've spent years developing a style that blends detailed linework with themes drawn from my culture and identity. Being part of this market means a great deal to me, both as an opportunity to share my work with a wider audience and as a chance to connect with a community that values Ngāi Tahu creativity and heritage. I'd love the chance to bring my illustrations to this event and be part of what looks set to be an incredible celebration of local, Māori-led creativity.

It is a display more than anything but an attempt to let whānau what we are doing and to gather interest in future wānaka by asking them to put their names and contact details down so we can email them about future wānaka and to let them know about our Māori midwives in the area. www.hakui.nz

Te Kupenga Mahi is KiwiRail’s non-profit Māori employee network, focused on connecting and supporting our people and strengthening relationships with iwi, hapū, mana whenua and communities across Aotearoa.

Ko wai mātou? At the heart of Tāia are our five tamariki - Ryan, Maia, Ariā, Te Rauhuia, and Taiāwhio who inspire and walk alongside us in this creative journey. They remind us that every design is more than an object: it is whakapapa, it is mātauranga, it is the spark of imagination carried into the future.This kaupapa is about whānau creating together, growing together, and shaping pathways for our tamariki in the creative world. The taonga we design today are not only for us, but for them, to show that their voices, ideas, and creativity are treasures of their own. We have created a kakahu range together and will be sharing this with our kai tahu whānau at Hui-ā-Iwi

Whakaaro Consulting helps organisations make better decisions, strengthen financial sustainability, and create lasting value for their communities. As a consulting business, we bring expertise in financial services, banking, treasury, procurement, working capital, technology transformation, and organisational strategy. Our intention in participating is not simply to promote our business, but to share knowledge, experience, and opportunities with Ngāi Tahu whānau. Many whānau interact with financial systems every day, whether through business ownership, governance roles, iwi organisations, trusts, incorporations, or community groups. We believe there is value in making these topics more accessible and helping to build financial confidence and capability across our people. Whakaaro offers a skill set that is not commonly represented within iwi events. Our founders have worked across government, banking, commercial organisations, and large-scale transformation programmes throughout Aotearoa and globally. We have led major banking and procurement initiatives, advised organisations on cash flow and financial sustainability, and helped clients identify practical opportunities for improvement and growth. By attending the event, we hope to: • Connect with Ngāi Tahu whānau and share our expertise. • Demonstrate how financial and commercial knowledge can support iwi aspirations. • Demystify banking, finance, consulting, procurement, and business transformation. • Build relationships with whānau-owned businesses, rūnaka, trusts, and community organisations. • Explore ways Whakaaro can contribute to the economic wellbeing and long-term prosperity of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and its people. Our kaupapa is grounded in the belief that commercial success and cultural identity are not separate pursuits. Strong financial capability enables stronger communities, stronger governance, and greater self-determination. We see participation in this event as an opportunity to give back, share knowledge, and contribute to the collective strength of Ngāi Tahu whānau.
