He Puna Kounga

He Puna Kounga is a transformative consultancy dedicated to enhancing mana motuhake, or self-determination, within a modern context. Our mission is to empower individuals, groups, and organisations to evaluate and improve their modern mana motuhake, considering factors like time, culture, energy, mana, pūtea, whanaungatanga and ‘other’ as a catch-all. We achieve this through our innovative self-assessment tool, which is adaptive to different situations and quantitative measures.

We are committed to fostering a future where Māori cultural empowerment thrives. As a pioneering force in the market, we represent the first-of-its-kind indigenous Kaupapa Māori self-assessment framework meticulously crafted by Māori for Māori. Our vision is to extend the discourse on mana motuhake through ongoing research and validation, positively impacting personal and community outcomes.

Our uniqueness lies in our contemporary design, which ensures relevance in today's context. By blending cultural sensitivity with modernity, we aspire to set new standards in self-determination assessments, foster empowerment, and contribute to the dynamic landscape of indigenous well-being.
