Fonterra – Te Mātāpuna

Te Mātāpuna is an educational resource for Fonterra staff to learn basic tikanga and te reo Māori to support their day to day mahi.

Interactive features within the app include pronunciation of Māori words, maps with Māori names and iwi groups, values (Ngā Mātāpono), and principles, mihimihi/pepeha (introductions), ngā mihi (greetings), poroporoaki (farewells), whakataukī (proverbs), and waiata (songs).

One of the App’s key features is that it allows staff to input their own personal information to create a customised pepeha for when they lead, or a part of, discussions that involve Māori communities.

The App also contains details of Fonterra’s global and New Zealand sites with information on products made at each location.
