CAN AN ORGANISATION OR BUSINESS HAVE A PEPEHA URUTAU?

Updated: 3 days ago

Absolutely! An organisation or business can—and should—have a pepeha urutau. Like all things, an organisation or business carries its own mauri (life force) and wairua (spirit), making a pepeha urutau a meaningful way to reflect its identity. It acknowledges the important physical and spiritual connections to the land and community where the business is based. We've created our own pepeha urutau to share with you, offering insight into who we are and what we stand for.


Here’s a detailed and enriched version of our pepeha urutau that reflects both the physical and spiritual connections of our publishing business:


HE PEPEHA URUTAU O TĀ MĀUA KAIPAKIHI

Ko te tukutuku kōrero te whatu(The woven words are the foundation)

Ko te mauri o te reo e kawe ana i te mātauranga(The life force of the language carries the knowledge)

Ko Digital Iwi te whānau e raranga ana i te tikanga, i te reo, i te whakaaro(Digital Iwi is the family weaving together tikanga, language, and thought)

Tū tonu, tupu tonu, Digital Iwi!(Standing strong, growing strong, Digital Iwi!)


The phrase “Ko te tukutuku kōrero te whatu” brings in the imagery of tukutuku panels—woven stories, digital connections, and the knowledge system that underpins Digital Iwi.


For us at Digital Iwi, our pepeha urutau is more than a statement—it’s a reflection of who we are, where we stand, and the communities we strive to uplift. It is also our way of showing support for Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Te Ao Māori.
