Iwi run on fragmented tools that weren't built for them

Registration in one system. Communications in another. Grants in spreadsheets. Meetings in email. No single platform covers governance, service delivery, and community engagement for Māori organisations. Te Ao Hou changes that.

Four layers. One connected system.

Te Ao Hou mirrors the real structure of Māori society. Each layer has its own tenant, dashboard, and workflows. Connected where they need to be. Independent where they should be.

Strategic Governance

Iwi

Full governance environment for iwi administration, board management, elections, distributions, asset protection, and strategic oversight across all linked hapū and marae.

Governance Elections Distributions Asset Protection
Sub-tribal Administration

Hapū

Local governance, whenua and land administration, support application approvals, board meetings, and relationship management with marae and uri.

Whenua Approvals Local Governance Community
Community Operations

Marae

The front door for whānau. Support intake, events and bookings, pānui, community groups, kapa haka, language revitalisation, and direct connection with uri.

Support Intake Events Pānui Culture
Personal Access

Uri / Whānau

One dashboard for everything. Apply for support, browse opportunities, track applications, see notices, engage with your marae, hapū, and iwi. Your front door to te ao Māori.

Built different. On purpose.

01

Sovereign by design

Māori data stays under Māori governance. The platform is built around data sovereignty principles from the ground up, not bolted on after.

02

Multi-tenant, not multi-hack

Every iwi, hapū, and marae gets its own tenant space with proper data boundaries, role separation, and independent configuration. Real isolation.

03

Real workflows, not fake dashboards

Support applications that actually route from marae to hapū. Elections with proper nomination flows. Meetings with agendas, minutes, and attendance. Everything works.

04

Built for communities, not admins

Plain language. Simple navigation. Designed so everyday whānau can use it, not just people who've been trained on enterprise software.

05

Mirrors whakapapa, not org charts

The platform structure follows real Māori relationships. One iwi, many hapū. One hapū, multiple marae. Uri connected across entities. Not a corporate hierarchy.

The digital layer Māori communities have been waiting for

Te Ao Hou is not another directory. Not another registration form. It is the operational platform that connects governance, services, and community, built from Te Ao Māori principles for the people who need it most.
