Our Charitable Mission

At Te Kauika Tangaroa Charitable Trust, we’re not just about saving the planet; we’re about reviving the ancient wisdom of our ancestors. Ramari Oliphant Stewart’s legacy is our guiding star, and we’re on a mission to ensure that mātauranga taiao—our environmental knowledge—thrives in the hearts and minds of future generations.

Kaitiakitanga, the practice of guardianship, is fading faster than your favorite pair of jeans after too many washes. We’re here to change that! Through indigenous inquiry, research, and education, we’re empowering kaitiaki practitioners to reconnect with the natural world and become the superheroes of sustainability.

Join us in this wild adventure! Whether you’re a curious learner or a seasoned environmental warrior, there’s a place for you in our tribe. Together, we’ll weave a vibrant tapestry of knowledge, respect, and love for our planet.
