QUEENSLAND MAORI SOCIETY INC
...COMMUNITY HUB...

 

The heart will never change – home is home.

In Dec 2007, Queensland Maori Society was reignited with the election of a new executive committee who are committed to upholding and preserving the objectives of QMS that are in essence the same now as they were when QMS was conceived, and founded in 1989, by the late Percy Kara.

The Society was formed to support whānau in Queensland with 'tangihanga' (funerals), 'tīkanga me ngā kawa' (cultural values and practices), 'reo māori' (māori language), whakawhanaungatanga (relationship building/keeping connected) and with many other issues that our people face here.

“It is for our children’s children that we plan.”

Our planning and actions today define the environment in which our children’s children shall endure.
