He kāpura iti i te uru mura katoa te pae rae.
A small flame in the thicket
spreads to the furthest horizon.
Our name comes from this whakataukī which talks about sparking ideas that take hold and spread into movements. It speaks to Mura’s purpose in two ways. Firstly, we’re forever grateful to the daring spirits who ignited the sparks that have kept our culture burning brightly, creating a better Aotearoa for all—we stand on the shoulders of giants. Secondly, we have a duty to fan the flames for future generations.
