The University of Waikato
and Kīngitanga
Kīngitanga Day
Thursday 17 September 2015
Since its founding in 1964, the University of
Waikato has had strong connections with the
Kīngitanga, Waikato-Tainui and many other iwi
across the country.
This is particularly evident through our efforts with
Te Rōpū Manukura, the high-level committee of iwi
representatives that forms part of the University’s
governance and which ensures we work with iwi
to meet the tertiary needs and aspirations of
Māori communities.
Through Kīngitanga Day, these relationships are
honoured. Every year the calibre of speakers
is testament to the growing importance and
recognition of Kīngitanga Day, locally and
nationally. Interest around this University event
grows each year and serves as a platform for
building relationships with key individuals in the
Māori sphere.
Kīngitanga Day is an opportunity for wider
community engagement, and as a University that
celebrates Māori distinctiveness, we hope to share
our cultural uniqueness with the public.
Kīngitanga Day
Kīngitanga Day celebrates the University’s
distinctive identity, heritage and relationships.
A showcase of events through a University-wide
programme of presentations, panels, workshops,
performances and activities.
Nau mai, haere mai, te tini me te mano!
