Hon NANAIA MAHUTA (Minister for Māori Development): We've acted to safeguard one of Aotearoa New Zealand's icons of Māori tourism, Te Puia and the Māori Arts and Crafts Institute (MAKI), by investing $7.6 million over the next two years to safeguard the future of Toi Māori. The legacy contribution of MAKI has seen the teaching of carvers, weavers, waka exponents, and arts and crafts experts hone their skills and contribute to cultural revival over the last 100 years. This investment will continue their contribution as a training institute.
