 Te
Puawānanga is a native flower that symbolizes Māori civilization from
which its intellectual and educational philosophies and knowledge
evolved. We exist within a university that reflects the wider
intellectual world we live in. By knowing who we are and where we come
from, we can acquire new knowledge with confidence to add to the
accumulated wisdom of our ancestors.
