This section includes information, services and opportunities, available to Māori through a range of organisations, including Te Puni Kōkiri. Ka mate he tētē, ka tupu he tētē. Te Puni Kokiri has followed a path from that of an agency which carries out and delivers government policy to that of one which designs and enhances Government policies. Under the policy of mainstreaming, primary responsibility for the well-being of Maori rests collectively with the state sector. The Maori Warden Project is an advisory group chaired by Te Puni Kokiri chief executive Leith Comer and has the likes of police commissioner Howard Broad and members of the Maori Warden Association and Te Kohanga Reo sitting at the table, Mr Clarke said. The item notes that there were three main parts of the act: to make te reo Māori an official language, to allow te reo to be used in legal proceedings and to establish the Māori Language Commission (Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori) to advocate for te reo. However, Te Puni Kokiri's Maori Warden project manager, Te Rau Mr Clarke, said while the New Zealand Maori Council is responsible for the control and supervision of the wardens, the Minister of Maori Affairs, Parakura Horomia, is responsible for the administration of the service.
