When iwi develop strategies regarding the education of their children, they are focused on the cultural, social, educational, economic and personal wellbeing of their Uri. The vision of NKAI is to ensure that all Uri achieve Mana Motuhake and are empowered with the skills, understandings and wellbeing to be able to determine a positive future reality.
