The Te Wheke model is a Maori model of wellbeing consisting of interconnected tentacles representing different aspects of a person. The tentacles are Wairua tapu (spiritual realm), Mana (status and dignity), Hinengaro (intellect), Tinana (physical body), Whanaungatanga (relationships and kinship), Taonga tuku iho (cultural treasures and inheritance from ancestors), Mauri (life force), and Whatumanawa (emotions and feelings). Each tentacle represents a vital component of wellbeing that is interconnected with the others.

Actions take on an "intentional" character such as the infant reaches behind a screen to obtain a hidden object Tertiary Circular Reactions (12-18 months) Discovery of new ways to produce the same consequence or obtain the same goal such as the infant may pull a pillow toward him in an attempt to get a toy resting on it. Invention of New Means Through Mental Combination (18-24 months) Evidence of an internal representational system. Symbolizing the problem-solving sequence before actually responding. Deferred imitation.

The powhiri (formal welcome) is a respected, recognised and structured process and has been embraced by the organisation as a cultural model that can be applicable to all cultural diversities. The call” encapsulates a willingness to “invite guests” into the organisation, service etc where the concepts of aroha (love) and manaaki (caring) are intrinsic parts of Te Poutama (The Steps). Songs of praise allows all parties the opportunity to acknowledge the previous step of karakia. Although not strictly a religious concept, “the prayer” step is about safety and the acknowledgement of spiritual connections. “ This step acknowledges that all parties have a shared vision – moving forward. The body of Te Powhiri (The Welcome) is captured in the speeches. This is the working component of Te Poutama and is inclusive of all parties talking TO each other. In Maoridom, the songs that follow speeches are normally supportive and meaningful “actions” that give integrity to what has been said. He Kaupapa Purpose Kotahitanga Unity By Paraire Huata
