About Us
Our Partnerships
We aspire to develop a community research agenda through meaningful partnerships with external research groups engaging in projects that recognise, value and use principles of Kaupapa Māori.
With a focus on collaboration and knowledge sharing we can apply this knowledge in ways that further benefit our people at a whānau level, a community level, nationally and internationally.

Regroupement des Centres d’amitié autochtones du Québec (RCAAQ) (Canadian Research)
