Get Involved

Keeping in touch with our whānau, marae, hapū and iwi is very important. Please make sure you’re registered so that we can keep you informed about the exciting kaupapa that we’re working on.  TALT (formerly Te Arawa Māori Trust Board) was established to represent the interests of Te Arawa hapū and iwi members in relation to the Te Arawa Lakes Settlement Act 2006.

The Tūhourangi Tribal Authority was established in 2006 as the governance entity to receive the assets and proceeds from the Te Pūmautanga o Te Arawa Trust who negotiated the historical Treaty of Waitangi Claims of Te Arawa Iwi and hapū.

The Rangiwewehi Charitable Trust (RCT) was originally established as the operations arm of Te Maru o Ngāti Rangiwewehi Iwi Authority. As part of the wider tribal governance restructuring that took place as we moved into our post-settlement governance arrangements.

Established in 2009, Te Komiti Nui o Ngāti Whakaue is the entity mandated to negotiate the comprehensive Ngāti Whakaue Treaty Settlement. Their kaupapa is to settle the extant historical claims of Ngāti Whakaue with the Crown.
