"Christchurch — On the eastern edge of Te Waipounamu (South Island), a powerful
new era of Māori-led innovation is taking flight.
The Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre at Kaitōrete has become the world’s first
Indigenous-led aerospace centre. Co-owned by the local rūnanga of Taumutu and
Wairewa in partnership with the Crown, the centre embodies tino rangatiratanga
and a shared vision for Māori leadership in advanced technologies.
“Tāwhaki has been an amazing journey for the last eight years, particularly for
our two hapū of Ngāti Mako and Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki, in partnership with the New
Zealand Government,” says Tāwhaki Board Member David Perenara-O’Connell.
“We’ve grown to develop this aerospace centre as the only Indigenous-led centre
in the world, something that we’re particularly proud of,” says
Perenara-O’Connell."
