Māori Party

The Māori Party is a political organization in New Zealand that advocates for the rights, interests, and well-being of the Māori people, who are the indigenous population of the country. It aims to promote Māori culture, language, and values while working within the wider political system to influence policies on issues like education, health, land rights, and social justice. Established in 2004, the party seeks to ensure Māori perspectives are represented and that their sovereignty and development are prioritized alongside national interests. It often collaborates with other parties but maintains a focus on advancing Māori aspirations.
