Our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi requires Northland Inc to develop meaningful partnership with Māori in Te Tai Tokerau. We are focused on building and enhancing our Māori relationships in Te Tai Tokerau to identify opportunities which deliver sustainable economic growth for our whānau, hapū and iwi. We support by Māori for Māori initiatives which recognise the mana Motuhake of Māori enterprises and collectives to lead their own economic success.
The regional aspiration is to establish an equitable economic platform which enhances Māori participation in the Northland economy and enables whānau, hapū and iwi to be economically secure and to grow their wealth.
Partnering with other government and local initiatives Northland Inc’s Māori economic development approach will give regard to the following documents and includes our mahi on a variety of projects;
