MĀORILAND CHARITABLE TRUST OPERATES FROM THE MĀORILAND HUB IN ŌTAKI, A CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN MĀORI AND INDIGENOUS SCREEN AND CREATIVE ARTS.

Māoriland is a Māori-led organisation grounded in a holistic, kaupapa Māori worldview. We believe in the power of the arts to uplift, connect, and transform lives.

We deliver a year-round ecosystem of events and programmes that support artists to thrive, share their stories, and grow their practice.

Through these activities, we contribute to a vibrant global Indigenous creative sector and a future where communities thrive socially, culturally, and economically.

Māoriland is nurturing a generation of confident, connected storytellers – strengthening cultural identity, improving wellbeing, and building a more inclusive Aotearoa.

Our social investment through the Māoriland Film Festival alone delivered $23 million into the local community (2014-2024 data).

Our activities are guided by the pou, the ridgepoles that underpin all our activities; koakoa, ohooho, manaakitanga & kōtahitanga.
