Te Arawhiti ("The Bridge"), also called the Office for Māori Crown Relations, is a public service departmental agency in New Zealand. Established in 2018 by the 52nd New Zealand Parliament, it oversees the government's work with Māori as part of the Crown-Māori relations portfolio. Its creation included consolidating several existing government units and offices into the agency, including the Crown/Māori Relations Unit, the Office of Treaty Settlements, Takutai Moana Team and the Settlement Commitments Unit.[1][2][3]
History[edit]
The portfolio mandate was established after a public engagement process in 2018 led by the former Minister for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti, Kelvin Davis where twenty hui (meetings) around New Zealand were held, attended by 1600 people, and 227 written or online submissions were received.[4]
