" Its Naval Community Office provides support for families of naval personnel, and its Te Taua Moana Marae is the cultural home for all naval personnel, regardless of iwi or upbringing". This sentence appears in para 2 of the 'Current' section, although the emphasis is mine.

Could somebody, (probably a Kiwi), please briefly explain how a 'Te Taua Moana Marae' and an 'iwi' are part of NZ life. Something like: "... regardless of iwi (background) or upbringing" would be fine - at least for this Pom. To just spring the phrase or word on the reader without any explanation is not a good idea.
