Vision

A future where the whenua thrives under the stewardship of its rightful kaitiaki, where owners and beneficiaries are empowered, connected, and prosperous, and where the legacy of our whenua endures as a foundation of cultural, social, and economic well-being.

“Ka raranga ngā hau ki te muri
ka raranga ngā hau ki te tonga
ka whakapuke ngā ngaru o Te Ngarue
ko ngā pōtiki a Hinehopu e heru ana ki Te Matarae i o Rehu
whano, whano, haramai te toki!
Haumiē! Huiē! Tāiki e!”

Ko Pikiao ll ka noho i a Hinehopu
ka puta ko Te Tākinga, ko Hinekura, ko Moho,
ko te whakapākanga ko Te Rangiunuora.

Ko Ngāti Te Rangiunuora te hapū

“Ko Te Rangiunuora e tu nei, e karanga nei”

The winds weave from the north, the winds weave from the south, the waves of Te Ngarue surge, the descendants of Hinehopu adorn themselves at Te Matarae i o Rehu. Forward, forward, bring forth the adze! Bind it! Gather it! It is done!

Pikiao II resided with Hinehopu, and from them came Te Tākinga, Hinekura, and Moho. Their line descended to Te Rangiunuora.

“It is Te Rangiunuora standing here, calling forth.”
