Start your journey into te ao Māori with our new app.
We have developed a Māori cultural intelligence mobile app to support our staff and members on their journey with te ao Māori/the Māori world.
We called it Hautū, which means to lead or to guide. It is also the term used for the leaders in a waka that call the time to the paddlers to travel in the same direction.
Develop your literacy and confidence in te reo Māori with
- interactive tools to assist with pronunciation
- common Māori greetings
- guidance to learning your pepeha
- formal openings and closings for meetings.
The tool also provides a range of useful resources such as
- tikanga (customs and values)
- waiata (songs)
- kupu (glossary) of key terminology.
The Hautū app was co-developed by the IoD and Kiwa Digital. This project is based on a tried-and-tested model designed by Kiwa, who have created more than 75 tailored apps for a range of public and private clients.
The app is free and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store by searching: Hautū
