Oranga Rangatahi

Our Rangatahi Kāhui

Through consultation with whānau, hapū, and iwi leaders, we have identified several key rangatahi who reflect the diverse interests, talents, and moemoea of our young people. The roopu represents the foundation upon which our inaugural Rangatahi Kāhui will be built, each bringing unique perspectives and skills that will strengthen our rangatahi collective voice, capacity and capability. The identified kāhui include Te Kāhui Taiao (Environmental Guardians) for those passionate about protecting and restoring our natural heritage and mahinga kai; Te Kāhui Ahurea (Cultural Knowledge Holders) for rangatahi dedicated to preserving and revitalising our reo, tikanga, and traditional knowledge; Te Kāhui Pakihi (Economic Development) for those focused on creating sustainable economic opportunities within our communities; Te Kāhui Hauora (Wellbeing Champions) for young people committed to the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our whānau; and Te Kāhui Mātauranga (Knowledge Holders) for those pursuing education, research, and innovation that benefits our iwi. These diverse kāhui will work collaboratively while maintaining their specialised focus areas, ensuring that all aspects of our iwi development and cultural continuity are represented and advanced by our rangatahi leadership.

Ngāti Tamaterā Kaahui Rangatahi Leads Attend Matariki Wānanga, “Te Whare o Huiterangiora”

Last week, some of our Ngāti Tamaterā Rangatahi Kāhui had the privilege of attending a beautiful wānanga hosted at Te Whare wānanga o Waikato. The kaupapa of this wānanga was centred around Matariki, and it was proudly led by Te Kōhao Health, Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki / Healthy Families.

The wānanga offered a rich space for learning and whakawhanaungatanga. We had the opportunity to explore traditional practices and mātauranga Māori that help us reconnect with our identity and Taiao. 

Some of the kaupapa we covered included:

• Karanga and Wairea –  A chance to learn more about the tikanga and kōrero behind these sacred practices. We also had two of our leads conduct Wairea and Karanga during our Huatapu ceremony.
  
  
• Atua Māori – Discussions around our atua and how their stories connect us to te taiao and our own whānau narratives.
  
  
• Hautapu and Matariki – We deepened our understanding of the significance of hautapu ceremonies and how we honour our tūpuna and the “new year” through Matariki.
  
  
• Mahinga Kai and Rongoā Māori – With Chef Jo from Ēkai Māori, we explored the connection between kai, whenua and health. Chef Jo also guided us in the practice of weaving rourou, to use for our Hāngi. This was a special highlight for many of our kaimahi.
  
  

It was also awesome to see Ngā Waitapara in attendance. Their presence showed the strength of unity across Hauraki and Waikato, especially with the wānanga being held at the University of Waikato. This collective learning space was a powerful reminder of the strength that comes when our iwi and hauora collectives work together.

He mihi nui ki ngā kaiako, ngā ringawera me ngā kaikōrero i whakakotahi ai tēnei wānanga. 

Ngā mihi hoki ki a Te Kōhao Health, Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki, Healthy Families mō te whakarite i tēnei hui whakahirahira.

Ngāti Tamaterā Brings Digital Technology and Innovation to Over 800 Rangatahi!

Over the last two weeks, Ngāti Tamaterā has been out in force across Tāmaki Makaurau and Hauraki delivering Digital Technology and Innovation Workshops in schools, and the response has been incredible.

In collaboration with Young Animators, Sir Peter Blake Trust, and Pou Rāhui, we’ve engaged more than 800 students across 11 schools in a kaupapa that blends VR technology, animation, and mātauranga Māori.

• Rangatahi explored the future of work within the Digital Technology space
• Used digital tools to monitor the threats to the Hauraki Gulf
• Gained understanding on the science and tikanga behind rāhui
• Created their own digital animations using the latest tech



This kaupapa isn’t just learning about tech — it’s about connecting our tamariki to culture, career pathways, and climate action in a way that’s exciting, hands-on, and deeply rooted in te ao Māori.

Ngāti Tamaterā is proud to be building the next generation of digital leaders — confident, capable, and culturally grounded.

Want to bring this kaupapa to your kura?

Oranga Taiao

Pou Rāhui

Kātahi te taonga matahīapo ko tēnei. Ko ōna tino tohu – ko Te Paki o Matariki ki runga, ko Te Paki o Matariki ki raro – tihei mauriora!

As winter settles over Hauraki, the rising of Matariki calls us to reflect on the past, honour our relationship with te taiao, and set intentions for the seasons ahead. In this spirit, our pānui shares updates on the restoration of our taonga species and ecosystems—mahi that embodies our commitment to kaitiakitanga and the wellbeing of our whenua and moana. Every action taken to restore these taonga is a step toward rebalancing whakapapa and reviving the mauri of our rohe, guided by the mātauranga of our tīpuna and the aspirations of our whānau today.

Pāua restoration within Tīkapa Moana and Te Moananui-a-Toi remains a central focus of the Pou Rāhui project, reflecting our shared responsibility to uphold the health of our moana and the taonga species that sustain us. Once abundant along our coastlines, pāua have been threatened by overharvesting, habitat degradation, and shifting marine conditions. To revitalise the whakapapa of our moana, we commit our time, effort, and patience to this kaupapa.

As tangata tiaki of Ngāti Tamaterā, our taiohi and I are engaged in taonga species restoration not only on the Thames Coast but also in our coastal kāinga across Hauraki. Recent mahi in Waiheke and Ahuahu supported the revival of our marine taonga alongside pūtaiao moana specialist Shawn Gerrity. This diversification of our restoration efforts strengthens our succession planning, grows the capability of our rangatahi, and anchors the long-term vision of our people.

The work of our Pou Moana team is vital to our success. As we navigate the restoration of Tīkapakapa from the perspective of our waka, our gaze turns also to the whenua. Alongside our marine restoration mahi, opportunities emerge on land—with Thames Coast Kiwi Care and the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust. The release of four kiwi this month celebrates nearly 20 years of community-led conservation. With each milestone, we draw closer to the day we will once again hear the haunting call of the kōkako echo through our ngahere. When we uplift the oranga of the whenua, we also nurture the health of our moana—through cleaner waters, resilient ecosystems, and restored mauri. This deep connection reminds us: when the whenua thrives, so too does the moana.

Pare Hauraki Kauri Ora hīkoia ki te Te Wao nui ā Tiriwa - Waitākere.

Ko ngā hononga o ngā patupaiarehe me ngā tūrehu o ngā Tū Pari Maunga, tihei mauri ora!

From a series of Kauri Ora hui held in Pārāwai (Thames) by Hauraki DOC with Hauraki iwi, a recommendation from Ngāti Tamaterā was realised on Friday the 13 June 2025.

Through our participation in Kauri Ora initiatives in Te Ngāherehere o Kohukohunui - Te Hūnua (alongside Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngaati Whanaunga, Ngaati Tamaoho), we realised that none of us had first-hand experience with a forest affected by Kauri Dieback (Phytophthora agathidicida or P.A).

Considering our Ngāti Tamaterā connection between Tāmaki and Hauraki, it was recommended that Hauraki iwi reach out to our Tainui waka relatives, Te Kawerau ā Maki, to discuss the issues of P.A in their area, Te Wao Nui ā Tiriwa - The Waitākere Ranges.

Our Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust relatives facilitated this contact in the spirit of whanaungatanga.

Representatives of the following Hauraki iwi joined Ngāti Tamaterā:

Ngāti Pū

Ngaati Whanaunga

Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust

Ngāti Hako

Ngāti Tumutumu

Ngāti Hei

Including representatives from Moehau ki Tai, Waikato Regional Council, and Te Papa Atawhai (DOC).

Located west of Auckland, the Waitākere Ranges offer lush rainforests, rugged coastlines, and scenic trails. Te Kawerau ā Maki is recognised as the tangata whenua to these lands. We were welcomed with a short pōwhiri, recognising that they currently do not have a marae or whare. Therefore, the ngāhere is their marae.

After whakawhanaungatanga & harirū, we were led into the ngāhere (using the wash bays provided) toward a dying kauri rākau the locals refer to as "Aunt Agatha". The hau kāinga recited many karakia to assist our passage to "Aunt Agatha".

It was an emotional experience, witnessing the unbalanced mauri emanating from its presence. Tears flowed easily.

Te Kawerau ā Maki CEO - Edward Ashby shared key themes to their journey in dealing with P.A.

Themes raised by Te Kawerau ā Maki:

• The challenges they faced over time when trying to apply a Rāhui to the area.
• The importance of building and maintaining relationships with wider communities - noting that one million people live next to their ngahere! Therefore, groups of neighbouring communities needed ongoing education on the purpose of Rāhui and the ongoing prevention measures required.
• Ongoing 5-year soil surveys to monitor and detect the spread of P.A over time.
• The challenge of maintaining ongoing support from Auckland Council, Te Papa Atawhai (DOC) and research partners.



An invitation to Hauraki iwi present to share information and work together on this shared kaupapa of protecting our taonga species, our tūpuna rākau. Also, in recognition of our ancestral waka connections.

Kōrero Mutunga:

Ngāti Tamaterā will continue to work with our relations in Tāmaki Makaurau and Hauraki to learn how to protect our taonga tūpuna rākau throughout our rohe, Mai i Mahurangi, ki Ngā Kurī-a-Whārei.

Many thanks to DOC Hauraki for providing the transport and kai.

Oranga Ōhanga

 E te whānau whānui o Ngāti Tamaterā, tēnei ka mihi ki a koutou. I te marama o Haratua, kua kuhu atu tātou ki te Wāhanga Tuarua o tā tātou rautaki ā-ōhanga - arā, kua tīmata te mahi ā-tinana! 

Ngāti Tamaterā is proud to support the inaugural Hauraki Māori Business Awards, to be held on Friday, 17 October 2025 at the Silver Fern Farms Event Centre, Te Aroha. This kaupapa celebrates the innovation, resilience, and excellence of our Māori enterprises across the rohe. It will be a night to uplift our own whānau businesses, recognise rangatira in commerce, and spotlight the economic leadership flourishing throughout Hauraki. We look forward to seeing our people celebrated on this stage.

This month was all about action - developing tools and relationships that support our whānau to participate in and lead economic opportunities that reflect who we are as Tamaterā.

We’ve advanced our Progressive Procurement Strategy, which is grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and focused on creating real opportunities for whānau-led business. Our Ngāti Tamaterā and Ngāti Paoa iwi business directory, Ngā Poito o te Kupenga, is also underway, profiling our enterprises and preparing for a soft launch. Meanwhile, the Ngā Kaiwhakatere Ōhanga rangatahi wānanga is confirmed for 25th-27th September. Our young leaders will not only develop entrepreneurial ideas but will present these to whānau in a kaupapa Māori “pitch” session, showcasing their whakaaro and inspiring us all.

We’ve also submitted a refreshed workplan and cost forecast to ensure our mahi remains both visionary and achievable, while being honest about the true cost of iwi-led development. As always, our foundation is whanaungatanga, and we thank you for your continued support, insights, and presence in this journey toward economic tino rangatiratanga.

Oranga Whānau

Regulatory Standards Bill Submission! We oppose!

The proposed Regulatory Standards Bill poses significant concerns for iwi and Māori communities across Aotearoa. While presented as a measure to enhance regulatory transparency and efficiency, the Bill's framework and underlying philosophy raise critical issues regarding the recognition and protection of Māori rights and interests. 

This Bill threatens to strip away vital protections for Māori, wāhine, disabled communities, and low-income whānau by prioritising individual property rights over collective wellbeing. It risks weakening environmental safeguards, undermining Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and silencing our ability to challenge injustice. If passed, it could make it harder for our people to access targeted funding, hold the Crown to account, and protect our whenua, moana, and taonga.

Given these concerns, it is imperative for iwi and Māori communities to actively engage with the legislative process. Submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill are open until 1 pm on 23 June 2025. By voicing our perspectives, we can advocate for the protection of Māori rights and ensure that any regulatory reforms uphold the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Now is the time to speak up. Submitting is one of the most important actions we can take to defend our rights, values, and future. If you need support to submit please email Admin support and we can guide you through the process. Here is another resource to use, click the button below to help you build your submission.

PAPARA 

The Iwi Chairs Forum-led People's Action Plan Against Racism Aotearoa (PAPARA) has launched a website, www.papara.co.nz, as a community-driven response to racism in Aotearoa. This initiative aims to challenge racism, amplify resistance, and hold institutions accountable.

Here are some key details:

• Website Launch: The website launch was accompanied by an online webinar on Wednesday, June 4th, at 7:00 pm.
• Purpose: PAPARA serves as a resource hub to track, challenge, and respond to various forms of racism, particularly colonial and institutional racism.
• Website Features: The website includes a public repository of resources, advice on staying safe during racial hostility, updates on the racist impacts of policies, and a tool for public input into the action plan.
• Leadership: The initiative is overseen by Kahurangi Dame Naida Glavish, Rahui Papa, and Pou Tikanga co-chairs Professor Margaret Mutu and Aperahama Edwards.
• Government Action: PAPARA was launched after the government abandoned its commitments to a national action plan against racism.
• Draft Action Plan: A draft of the independent People’s Action Plan Against Racism is expected to be completed by October 2025.

WAKA WĀNANGA

WHAKAHAUMANU WAKA O HAURAKI

Friday 30 May 2025 marked the beginning of something special. Our Wānanga Tuatahi launched at Te Pai o Hauraki Marae with a beautiful pōwhiri led by our kaumātua — their presence, mana and support throughout the weekend lifted the mauri of our kaupapa.

We welcomed 36 Ngāti Tamaterā kaihoe — tāne and wāhine — spanning generations: from our mokopuna and tamariki to rangatahi and pakeke.

The heart of our group were aged 25–50, each bringing their own energy and story. Though weather conditions prevented some from joining due to road closures, we felt their wairua with us and look forward to seeing them at our next wānanga.

The whakawhanaungatanga was next level — reconnections with whānau who’ve returned from Australia, those who’ve lived away from Hauraki, and our dedicated haukāinga holding the ahi kā. The shared kōrero, laughter, and deep sense of belonging reminded us why kaupapa like this matter.

Through kōrero tuku iho and hands-on learning, we explored the legacy of waka in Hauraki — the stories of the Awa o Ohinemuri, Waihou, and Tīkapa Moana. We remembered the waka that once moved through our waters and reignited that knowledge within our people.

Next Wānanga: 18 - 20 July, 25 - 27 July, 8 August - 10 August 2025 at Te Pai o Hauraki Marae.

Te Hapori Matihiko Awards Evening - Ōtautahi 2025

Māku anō hei hanga tōku nei whare. Ko ngā pou o roto he hua nō te ao hangarau,

ko te tāhuhu, he tangata, he whakapapa, ko tōna tūāpapa, ko te reo Māori me ngā

tikanga tuku iho. Kei ngā ringaringa raupī o te kaupapa o Te Hapori Matihiko, ka nui

te mihi ki a koutou i whakaheke werawera i ngā rangi tata, kia puta he hua mō te ao

Māori, te hunga e manako atu ana kia eke panuku, kia eke tangaroa i te ao

hangarau!

Te Paea Ngapo was deeply humbled to have attended this years prestigious event on behalf of Ngāti Tamaterā rangatahi. The evening was electric – full of energy, purpose, and vision. It was clear that the hapori matihiko is not only thriving but actively reshaping the future for Māori – with rangatahi right at the forefront. Seriously, how cool is that?

One of the most powerful messages of the night was the encouragement to dream, and to surround ourselves with people who believe in us. It reminded me how vital it is to have regular kōrero with our whānau and friends about our collective aspirations – and to ask, “How can I tautoko you to achieve your dreams?” How can we, as an iwi, collectively manaaki our whānau so they feel confident and supported enough to take the leap?

I was privileged to observe Elle Archer (Chair, Te Hapori Matihiko) and Antony Royal (CEO, Tū Ātea, and Ngāti Tamaterā chairman) lead with mana and purpose. Their speeches traced the whakapapa of Te Hapori Matihiko and highlighted the unique role every Māori in tech plays in its growth. Ngā mihi nui ki a rāua – their vision and leadership are truly inspiring.

Key Takeaways from the Evening:

1) Technology is for Māori

Growing up, I saw tech as phones, laptops, or gaming. But this event reminded me

that technology is so much more. It’s a powerful vehicle for storytelling – through AI,

VR, communications, energy tech, software, gaming and beyond. The mātauranga

and creativity of our people belong here. Our tīpuna were innovators – and we carry

that legacy.

2) Rangatahi are shaping the tech world right now

I met a young Māori in his early 20s, in his final year of university, already trailblazing

new designs and preparing to launch a not-for-profit to uplift more rangatahi in tech.

Stories like his show that our youth aren’t waiting – they’re leading. I want every

rangatahi in our iwi to know: this space is for you. Dream big, dive in, and you’ll find

a community ready to uplift you.

3) Technology is about people and community

At its heart, technology is about connection. Many of the businesses that spoke

operate with strong mātāpono Māori, putting whānau, hapū and iwi at the centre.

Innovation here isn’t just about the product – its about purpose. Its about designing

futures that are grounded in te ao Māori and driven by aroha, manaakitanga, and

whanaungatanga.

I’m filled with excitement and pride to be part of a movement where Māori identity and technology walk hand in hand. I look forward to meeting more like-minded rangatahi across our iwi – ready to challenge the world with our whakaaro, our

mātāpono and our reo.

Hei whakakapi, me hoki ki ngā kupu a te waiata rongonui:

“Whiua ki te ao, whiua ki te rangi, whiua ki ngā iwi katoa.” – Ngāti Tamaterā,

Mauri ora!
