Tō Mātou Pūrākau | Our Story
Te Puna Ora o Mataatua was established in 1991 by Iwi across Mataatua rohe.
Te Puna Ora o Mataatua was established by Te Whānau Poutirirangiora a Papa. Representatives included Tūhourangi, Te Whakatōhea, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Rangiteaorere, Tapuika, Tūhoe ki Waimana, Ruatoki, Ruatāhuna, Ngāti Rangiwewehi, Waitaha,
Ngāti Rangitihi, Ngāti Manawa, Ngāi Te Rangi and Ngāti Pukenga.
The name Te Puna Ora o Mataatua (Iwi Hauora Trust) was given by kaumātua Hieke Tupe from Waiohau, meaning the spring of life.
The inaugural administration of Te Puna Ora o Mataatua was undertaken by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa under the Secretary, Joe Mason.
Te Poutokomanawa o Te Puna Ora
Te Poutokomanawa o Te Puna Ora is a framework that is deployed within a broader vision for Māori health and wellbeing and the organisation’s way of working. The framework is designed to enable the organisation, alongside the range of communities it works with, to validate results or work with its own data in a more meaningful way, and thereby to improve outcomes for Māori, in particular, and all others in general. As a tool, the framework recognises and supports a whānau ora approach to healthcare and overall wellbeing.
The framework draws from the past to inform the present and to provide direction for healthy community Māori futures.
Ngā Pou o Te Ora
Horizonal Axis
The horizontal axis represents those things that do not change over time—the values or ūara of the organisation—and they become Ngā Pou o te Ora. The overall values of the organisation are normalised by staff in their daily working roles and professional behaviour.
Ngā Puna o Te Waiora
Vertical Axis
The vertical axis emerges from a kaupapa Māori methodological approach to working with Māori whānau and forms Ngā Puna o te Waiora the elements of which are whakapapa, whanaungatanga, wānanga, whakairo, and whakairihia ki te pakitara o te whare. The framework has dual facilities – it can be utilised and applied at both the operational level (i.e. on a service-by-service basis) and the strategic level (i.e. management and governance).
