Mana whenua of UC: UC is a committed bicultural university operating in an intercultural world, and our relationship with mana whenua sits at the heart of how we care for the natural environment. We acknowledge Ngāi Tūāhuriri as the mana whenua of the land on which the University is situated, and — supported by the UC–Ngāi Tūāhuriri Partnership agreement — we partner with Ngāi Tūāhuriri and Ngāi Tahu more broadly to uphold the mana and aspirations of mana whenua. Guided by kaitiakitanga and the principles of manaakitanga, mauri tū, mahinga kai and tauutuutu, this partnership shapes our approach to guardianship of the whenua, wai and taiao for present and future generations.
