The bill dissolves NZMACI, repeals the New Zealand MACI Institute Act of 1963 and makes provision for the smooth transition to the new operating arrangements. It ensures that pan-iwi cultural functions presently provided for by the institute will continue now and into the future. Such statutory functions and responsibilities include encouraging, fostering, and promoting ahuria a toi Māori, providing training for the iwi of New Zealand, including whakairo rākau and raranga, making grants to enable persons to study, train, and gain experience in creating Māori arts and crafts, conferring diplomas or certificates on persons who have undertaken training or gained qualifications in Māori arts and crafts or Māori culture generally, and providing and supporting demonstrations, exhibitions, and tours of toi Māori and toi whakaari Māori. In this regard, we know that the future looks bright. It's a tourism mecca, but it's also a mecca of storytelling, of cultural revival and, dare I say, kapa haka performance—master class!
