Our commitment to culturally sensitive journalism is shown in our Iwi news segment, which covers subjects and issues that are significant to many Iwi (tribes) throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand. Waatea News highlights the diverse histories, challenges, and achievements of numerous Iwi, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of the diverse fabric that comprises Maori society. Our goal in covering Iwi news is to inspire Maori people to unite and eliminate divisions within their communities.
