Te Whanau Poutirirangiora a Papa
This relationship is critical in merging the pure Maori thinking that Te Whanau Poutirirangiora a Papa offers with its wide Iwi representation, together with the role Poutiri Trust has in dealing with the government in the areas of funding and negotiation. These complementary roles strengthen the Maori voice on Hauora issues for the Bay of Plenty region |
