Arataua

Arataua was set up by Chey Milne, a former radio and TV presenter, and Kahurangi Milne, who had a background in media and marketing, in 2013. The company is named for the street that Kahurangi grew up on in Rotorua in Aotearaoa New Zealand, and can be loosely translated to mean the path of the warrior in te reo Māori. Arataua is dedicated to promoting the Māori worldview, te ao Māori, across all of the work it does. Its range of content includes a digital series for young people in Aotearoa focusing on navigating sexual health, which is available on YouTube, Instagram, and on Spotify and Apple as a podcast. Arataua also has a podcast that focuses on the education and history of the Māori language, te reo Māori, which it publishes on the Radio New Zealand website and publishes snippets across its social media. On Facebook, it has created a video series looking at kapa haka (Māori dance) in primary schools across Aotearoa. The work it does is all about shining a light on and celebrating Māori culture across the country.
