Welcome to the University of Otago Māori Centre

Ka mate kāinga tahi, ka ora kāinga rua.

Ko te Huka Mātauraka ka noho hei kāinga rua mō ngā tauira Māori katoa ka tau mai ki Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka.

Mai i te purapura o te hiahia kia haere mai koe, tae noa ki te hui whakapūmau me ngā mahi ka whai ake, ko Te Huka Mātauraka tērā ka poipoi, ka ārahi, ka āwhina i ngā tauira Māori katoa.

All year, every year, Te Huka Mātauraka offers a home away from home for our tauira Māori.

Te Huka Mātauraka is the heart of Māori life on campus, providing services, support, motivation and encouragement. We are an iwi-diverse whānau packed with mātua and whāea who are dedicated to serving our tauira and ensuring they have access to a welcoming place throughout their academic hikoi.

Our services range from academic and tutorial expertise, tuakana teina support, and Year 13 to first-year support through to clinical and therapeutic care when challenges require more than encouragement and awhi.

Below are some of the services offered by Te Huka Mātauraka.
