MUMA has also been the host for numerous celebrations including; the 1990 Urban Register concerts, Whanau Ora Day, E TU music celebrations, and the Black Pearl Mana Wahine Awards. Influencing and shaping urban Maori futures is our business and our responsibility.Its all about whanau...whanau is the way urban Maori connect and relate.

These are based along any of the following linkages; whakapapa ties, political beliefs, religious affiliations, social connections, place of work, street address etc. In the urban context they are all recognised and valued because...we are whanau and whanau are us.This unique status permits us to hold a privileged relationship with whanau. We have meaningful conversations within the homes of our whanau. Our strong and constant presence, our vigilance and advocacy for the rights of whanau and our communities means MUMA is trusted. We place whanau at the core of our business and at the forefront of our strategies.Achieving and fulfilling our vision is our purpose and our legacy.
