Aspirations for TKAT?
My aspiration is to see Te Kotahi a Tāmaki become the leading role model in Tāmaki for and on behalf of Marae. That the model we present remains a simple and easy model that Marae can utilise and not be made to jump through hoops which is often the case for our people. That we source as many services as possible to add to our growth and that we remain humble
What do we do well?
I believe we offer a “no questions asked approach”. We are very good at putting people at ease and offer a simple pathway that whanau / Marae can follow and still maintain their dignity / mana
This above all else is what seperates us from other organisations and this we do extremely well

Aspirations for TKAT?
To support Marae with Mana Motuhake, reaching their moemoea of all generations, through TKAT we hope to see all Marae doing well and able to meet their needs in serving their whānau, hapū, iwi and communities.

TKAT are able to offer support, manaaki, mentoring, tools and funding. We also offer a platform for Marae to work, share and learn together.
Te Kotahi a Tāmaki currently have four staff, who work to achieve the goals set by the kōmiti whakahāere o Te Kotahi a Tāmaki. They are also there to support the kaimahi, whānau of our marae members to help them thrive, and obtain their goal’s. We are always working to empower our marae, ensuring that each marae holds strong to their own mana motuhake (cultural indigenous autonomy) but are still able to receive the rewards of collectivism and shared collaboration.
