Mission statement:	Established in 2000 the Aotearoa Indigenous Rights Trust (“AIR Trust”) is an initiative of Maori who are interested in international developments in indigenous peoples' human rights and how such developments affect Maori. Based in Wellington, AIR Trust has a number of members throughout Aotearoa/New Zealand who voluntarily provide their time to attend meetings, disseminate information and raise awareness amongst Maori and their communities. The primary objective of AIR Trust is to disseminate information to Maori concerning the United Nations so that Maori may use this information for their own purposes and participate in international standard setting. We disseminate information by presenting information at public meetings, writing reports on meetings attended and placing information on our website. It is our vision that Maori should be fully cognizant of the workings of the United Nations, that they should have opportunities to learn about the United Nations, its structure, recent developments in international law and ultimately participate in shaping international law on behalf of their own organizations and communities. AIR Trust has three trustees who are all Maori who communicate regularly to discuss issues and agree on actions to be taken as well as a group of committed volunteers who work on projects in their own time.
