A Māori marae in Māngere East, Auckland, that runs community food initiatives, including selling local kai at the Grey Lynn Farmers Market. Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae is at 141R Robertson Road. The website describes a vibrant, accessible marae that upholds traditional values, tikanga and strong community relationships. Its vision is built on Oranga Whenua, Oranga Tangata, the idea of whānau in relationship with the whenua, as self-sustaining, self-determining and healthy communities. That covers physical, spiritual, family and mental health. The marae says it follows the kawa of Waikato for its tikanga, while welcoming people from many different tribes. Its kai-related work includes hua parakore, and it takes part in the Grey Lynn Farmers Market.
The website sets out goals to restore, maintain and protect mana whenua relationships, develop a mātauranga Māori framework, grow circular Māori economic development, and support rangatahi to lead whakairo from a te ao Māori perspective. It names the kaumātua and kuia who supported the vision of whaea Mere, and says the marae has passed on tikanga and te reo to younger generations.
