Tāhei’Autī ia Mo’orea

Culture is inseparable from our preservation goals

The Federation

Tāhei ‘Autī ia Mo’orea grew out of community groups bringing together members of cultural, religious, sports, environmental and fishing associations and regular Mo’orea residents. All firmly resolved to save Mo’orea!

The gathering of Mo’orea residents on November 13, 2021 for the Tāhei created the momentum for our mission. Save the natural and cultural heritage of our island and act for its sustainable development.

Defending Mo’orea and its authenticity

For some years now, Mo’orea has been a victim of its success. An influx of inhabitants in search of a better quality of life, an impressive increase of real estate projects that are out of all proportion to the island’s of our island. The Tāhei ‘Autī ia Mo’orea Federation is doing its utmost to inform and defend the interests of the island’s inhabitants so that, together, we can continue to live in harmony on our island.

By pooling their resources and knowledge, the active members, all volunteers, aim to minimize the impact of necessary development on our island and its environment.

We care!

Mā'ohi culture

We need to put culture back at the heart of our practices. The fabric of culture is the history of a people. Drawing on the past to devise long-term solutions is the key to balanced development for everyone.

This is how the Tāhei ‘Autī ia Mo’orea Federation draws on the knowledge and know-how handed down through the generations to the island’s elders.

I’m committed to the federation to give back to Mo’orea all the happiness it brings me and will bring me in the future.

Rahiti Buchin,

Federation President

The pillars

Te moana, Te fenua, Te ra’i

The Earth  Te fenua, the Sea Te moana and the Sky Te ra’i are the inseparable components of Te Ao Maohi, the perception of the world in which we have always evolved. It’s important to remember that the stars guided our pirogues, the sea carried us from one island to another and the earth nourished us.
