## What is Āke Āke?

Āke Āke is an educational resource for Waitematā and Te Toka Tumai staff to learn about basic Tikanga and Te Reo Māori to support their day to day mahi (work).

Interactive features within the app include pronunciation of Māori words, maps with Māori names and iwi groups, values (Ngā Mātāpono), and principles, mihimihi/pepeha (introductions), ngā mihi (greetings), poroporoaki (farewells), whakataukī (proverbs), and waiata (songs).

One of the app’s key features is that it allows staff to input their own personal information to create a customised pepeha. Waitemata and Te Toka Tumai staff will find this resource particularly helpful when leading, or being part of discussions that involve Māori communities.
