Mana Māori Motuhake was a Māori political party in New Zealand from 1980 to 2005. The name is difficult to translate accurately, but essentially refers to Māori self-rule and self-determinationmana, in this context, can be understood as "authority" or "power", while motuhake can be understood as "independent" or "separate".[1] The purpose of the party was to unify Māori to gain 'political potency'.[2] From 1991 to 2002, the party participated in the left-wing Alliance.
