Mā whero, mā pango, e oti ai te mahi ❤️🖤🙏🏽

We’ve been showcasing the mahi to date on our whenua, which has really been perspective changing!

The collaboration with tauira from Mount Maunganui College under the tutelage of Allan Mundy has certainly brought our community closer together with one goal in mind - to regenerate the whenua.

Keep following us on our journey - and bring your whānau along for the ride! 😎😎😎

The good vibes flow on from the mahi in the taiao, straight to our tari! 🙌🙌🙌

We’ve been a hive of activity lately, and we wanted to continue on the path of reinvigoration, with a few upgrades of our outside space.

Nothing too major by any means - but a hiki wairua for the office that we work hard in daily. It is our home away from home 🏡🏡🏡

Big shout out to Tauranga Landscaping for helping us with this project!

Also - how good did April and Shardae do in their PTC’s (pieces to camera) 🎥 - they are shy but did amazing!!

Haramai tētahi āhua ❤️❤️❤️

Our nans (and Richard 🙌) on a mission, enjoying the views across Tauranga Moana from Maungamana ❤️

Honestly - the vista is absolutely breathtaking!⛰️⛰️

Also - it’s so rich in history, and it’s not widely disseminated enough.

But we are here to change that! 🙌🙌🙌

Kia ora anō e te iwi!

Our nannies were on a mission today, and they ventured alongside the team up Maungamana to see first hand the mahi that has been done thus far, to clear the whenua.

As you can see - it’s all quite remarkable! Maungamana is incredibly significant in the history of Tauranga Moana, in more ways than one! We feel proud to know that we are looking after this tūtohu whenua of ours ❤️

Aunty Maybelle offered her reflections - and what beautiful whakaaro she shared with us all 🙂🙂🙂

We look forward to continuing on with the mahi, and bringing our whānau back to the lands of our ancestors!




A birds eye view of the mahi to date for your appreciation, e te whānau! 😁😁😁

Welcome to our new (random) series called “whakataukī o te rā” - our saying of the day!

It should be no surprise that our whakataukī today is related to the land.

And to summarise, it means:

“The land remains, people perish”.

This reminds us of our purpose here at MPBI - to look after the whenua, for our whānau to thrive.

P.S - we are a hard case bunch and love a laugh 🤣🤣🤣

Puritia te aka matua kia mau! 🌿🌿🌿
Kimihia te ara mātauranga kia ora! 🌳🌳🌳

Tēnei te reo whakamānawa ki te tokorua i whāia te ara mātauranga kia tata.

Pohotohorā ana mātau i tō rāua manawa piharau ki te kaupapa, a, i eke ki te taumata e hiahiatia ana e rāua - e tātau!

Today we celebrate 2 of our amazing kaimahi, who completed their study through Te Wānanga o Awanuiārangi and have graduated with a qualification in Te Aka Pūtaiao (Kaupae 5).

Cilla Nepia and Johnny McLeod are our toa taiao here at MPBI and are leading some incredible work to restore and regenerate our whenua. The tohu will help them apply their learnings to the whenua as they continue to push initiatives for the betterment of us all 🙌🙌🙌

Congratulations e hoa mā, and keep up the incredible mahi! Cilla N Rodz Johnny Mcleod 👏👏👏

Kia ora tātau i a tātau waiata!

An awesome initiative to support - tēnā kōtou Ngāti Pūkenga Iwi ki Tauranga Trust i tēnei karanga kia ako tahi, kia waiata tahi ai tātau katoa.

Share far and wide, e te whānau!

✨ Join us as we continue our series of wānanga focused on reconnecting with and revitalising the treasured waiata of Ngāti Pūkenga and Ngā Pōtiki.

These evenings are an opportunity for our whānau to come together in unity — to strengthen our reo, deepen our understanding of tikanga, and reconnect with the stories, whakapapa, and meaning behind our waiata and mōteatea.

Whether you’re confident in waiata or simply wanting to learn, all ages and abilities are warmly welcomed.

📍 Next Wānanga: Wednesday 27th May
📌 Ngāpeke Marae

Led by our whanaunga Nia and Aunty Titihuia, come along and share in an evening of waiata, learning, and whanaungatanga.

☕ Doors open from 5:15pm for a kapu tī
🎶 Waiata begins at 6:00pm

Nau mai, haere mai e te whānau.
