Rangatiratanga represents self-determination, autonomy and empowerment. Empowering people to contribute to their health and wellbeing, not only by making good decisions but through mana enhancing leadership and participation. Within Ngākau Arataki, rangatiratanga reminds us of the strength and power that exists within our communities to lead change for better health and wellbeing. Rangatiratanga in a practical sense is about knowing
who you are and making choices that work towards achieving your aspirations.
Nuku Manawa Rahi is a self-assessment and reflection tool that can support the
achievement of rangatiratanga.
