## What is Puna Ako?

Welcome to Puna Ako – a well spring of learning Māori language and protocols.

This app has been developed for Treasury staff and clients who are keen to increase their confidence and knowledge of te reo Māori and tikanga Māori - to assist them in their daily 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.  Treasury staff will find this resource particularly helpful when leading, or being part of discussions that involve Māori communities.
