Te Mana Âkonga
Te Mana Âkonga is our National Mâori Tertiary Student Body. Arising out of the Mâori protest movements of the 1970s and emerging from the national Mâori student collective Ngâ Toki o Aotearoa, we became an Incorporated Society in 1995 and took the name Te Mana Âkonga. For the next 9 years Te Mana Âkonga represented the interests of Mâori Student Roopû at Universities. In 2004, the korowai of Te Mana Âkonga also came to embrace Mâori students studying at Polytechnics and Colleges of Education and their interests.
