The University of Waikato
and Kīngitanga
Kīngitanga Day celebrates the University’s
distinctive identity, heritage and relationships.
University of Waikato Kīngitanga Day Programme
Thursday 18 September 2014
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 a
testament to the growing importance and recognition
of Kīngitanga Day, both locally and nationally. The
interest around this event grows each year, and it
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
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!
