The belief that our Mokopuna, tamariki and rangatahi deserve more than what is currently being offered in current educational settings has provoked Ngai Te Rangi to take action. Research is not new to tangata whenua as our tipuna have historically shown, however, the context in which we now live and the challenges we face demand that we are uphold the 'ihi me te wehi'.
