The urgency of establishing K艒kiri centres resulted from creation of the Tu Tangata policy which identified that M膩ori customs and traditions were in very real danger of becoming extinct through lack of concerted development amongst an increasing M膩ori population who were entrenched in a non M膩ori social and economic environment.

There needed to be national initiatives to decrease the number of M膩ori mortality rate due to ill health, increasing numbers of M膩ori leaving school with little or no qualifications and opportunities, unemployment and lack of cultural knowledge and direction.
