“Our wellbeing is intimately tied to the concepts of caring - the application of manaakitanga, wairuatanga, ukaipotanga. We are our greatest opportunity for hope. Our relationships encourage interdependence; we know that our strength comes through all of us taking up our roles and responsibilities to one another. In essence, that is all Whānau Ora is, and ever has been.”

— Dame Tariana Turia
