Kotahitangā

Kotahitanga is the concept of togetherness and unity. As a nation, we are being asked to unite, to come together as one to keep each other safe by following the professional guidelines to save lives!!!

The whakatauki is “He Waka Eke Noa” is an old proverb that encompasses kotahitangā and simply means, ”We’re in this waka together”

Kotahitangā is the key to rebuilding our economy and as we joined together to as a nation to benefit everyone, the same must be in creating our new norm!

How to extend kotahitangā:

We can all unite by buying local to help get our businesses and communities humming, seeing New Zealand and experiencing our culture, and buying Kiwi-made goods to help local producers thrive.
