Nga Tauira Māori represents all Maori students at The University of Auckland. It's mission is to "encourage and support Māori students in their academic, cultural and social development and achievements, generally in the context of Tino Rangatiratanga and in a manner consistent with Te Tiriti o Waitangi, its principles and tikanga."
