Rawiri Waititi is Tane Co-Leader of Te Paati Maori & M.P. for Waiariki.  

Being a native speaker of Te Reo Māori, Rawiri is committed to the preservation and maintenance of Te Reo. He also has strong spiritual beliefs and is an active member and Tohunga/Minister of the Ringatū Faith.

Rawiri has been heavily involved in the development of integrated services approach to community and whānau development through Whānau Ora. It has given me a broad scope on the education, welfare, health, housing and justice sectors and how they can be integrated to empower whānau.

Rawiri Waititi joins us now on #PacificDays for a korero.
