In the heart of Whakahono Iwi O Te Ao lies a story woven with threads of resilience, heritage, and unity. Our journey began with a shared vision: to honour and uplift indigenous cultures across the globe.

Inspired by the rich tapestry of native traditions from Aotearoa and beyond, our founders embarked on a mission to bridge cultural divides and celebrate the interconnectedness of all peoples. Guided by the guiding principles of Mahaki, Te Aroha, Whakahono, Matariki, Mauri Ora, and Wānanga, our trust was born from a deep-rooted commitment to preserving and revitalizing indigenous wisdom.

From humble beginnings to global outreach, our story is one of collective empowerment and meaningful impact. Through community-driven initiatives, educational programs, and cultural exchanges, we have witnessed the transformative power of unity and collaboration.

Every chapter of our story is marked by the resilience and spirit of indigenous peoples worldwide. It is a testament to the strength of our ancestors and the promise of a brighter future for generations to come.

As we continue to write new chapters in our journey, we invite you to be a part of our story. Together, we can build a world where indigenous cultures thrive, and the legacy of heritage lives on.

Welcome to Whakahono Iwi O Te Ao – where every story is honoured, and every voice is heard.
