Māori Literature Trust - Te Waka Taki Kōrero

Established in 2000, the Māori Literature Trust – Te Waka Taki Kōrero has been fostering new and emerging Māori writers, transforming the literary landscape of Aotearoa, nurturing Māori voices, with a story to tell.  

For more than 20 years we have developed writers who have gone on to have successful careers as authors, producing award-winning stories.

To transform the literary landscape of our nation, we recognise that we cannot do this alone. Enlisting support from writers, universities, business, iwi, government along with our core funders and delivery partners to make our vision a reality is essential. Notably, collaboration is a strategic priority for the future.

The Trust is governed by trustees active in the Literary, Research, Academic and Publishing sectors – meeting four times per year to provide strategic guidance on the Trust’s programme of work. Under the leadership of Robyn Bargh (as Chair), the vision for the Trust is - E tuhi, taki mai i te ao Māori ki te ao whānui | Taking Māori voices to the world.
