TAURAWHIRI: CULTURAL CONSULTANTS

The Binding of Cords

In the language of ngā tūpuna, “Taurawhiri” speaks to the weaving together of people, ideas, and pathways. More than a name, it represents a way of being—of uniting differing perspectives into a shared journey.

At Kauhangaroa, our Taurawhiri are skilled cultural navigators. Known for their empathy, clarity, and adaptability, they are natural mediators who embrace difference as a source of strength. They help forge genuine connections and guide others in weaving their own threads into the collective kaupapa.

Through their work, our Taurawhiri uplift voices, dismantle barriers, and foster resilience. Every relationship they help build becomes part of a wider, interconnected whāriki—one that supports meaningful transformation for individuals, communities, and the environment.

Taurawhiri: Cultural Consultants, they’ve done the hard work for you:
