Te Arawhata means 'the bridge'. We connect people with Māori arts, media, events—and all the opportunities for joy, learning, and cultural connection they bring. Mean job, nē?

Our story

Kia ora!

Little Mouse Co. is the pakihi behind Te Arawhata. We’re a Māori media company run by whānau and friends with coming up on ten years of experience in design and digital publishing.

Our mission is to act as a bridge/arawhata to help more people to discover and enjoy Māori arts, media, and events.

We reckon it's a pretty mīharo/awesome way for audiences strengthen their cultural connection and support Māori creative industries.

Both of those things lead to the strengthening of Māori culture as a whole, which then leads to a stronger Aotearoa for all. Cracker win-win-win, nē?

Waihoki/plus, as proud Ngāti Nerds on our own reconnection journeys, we already talk about Māori films, books, music, podcasts, and theatre all day, so we figured we may as well write some of it down too.

Enjoy!
