Not Sure How to Pronounce the Magazine's Name?

Ann Gilroy —

"Tui Motu" is a Māori name. It's pronounced too-ee maw-too.

We're conscious that the name of our magazine is unfamiliar and can be a challenge to pronounce. When the magazine was founded 25 years ago in 1997, Pā Henare Tate named the magazine. Tui Motu sounds great when it is pronounced well.
