The latest Te Ōhanga Māori report confirms what we’ve long known – Māori excellence cannot & will not be stopped! ​ The Māori asset base has climbed from $69B to $126B between 2018 & 2023, despite increasingly tough economic & political challenges. Pakihi Māori remain resilient, expanding beyond primary industries & proving that kaupapa-driven businesses are here to stay. ​ From high-end brands like @noablanketco & @curionoir, to 'Māori Proud' brands like @awhi_company, @tuhistationery & @rerehu

Four talented Māori entrepreneurs launched their PledgeMe crowdfunding campaigns, sharing their stories and journey of their pakihi. Check out their inspiring mahi and pledge some pūtea today. Link in bio. #maori #aotearoa #maoritiktok #crowdfunding #pūtea
