Ngāti Rangiwewehi Entities & Representation

Te Tari Taiao, the Ngāti Rangiwewehi Environmental unit, was first established in 2008 via a mandated Iwi Hui held at Tarimano Marae. This pre-empted the Environment Court hearing for Taniwha Springs with the initial focus being the development of an Iwi Management Plan 2008 and then later updated in 2012.
The key purpose of the unit is to monitor and address any environmental issues for the iwi. It is also responsible for the review, management and implementation of the Iwi Environmental Management Plan. Te Tari Taiao meets regularly and utilises the collective knowledge of a roopu of Ngati Rangiwewehi environmentalists (known as Te Awa Tere) to analyse and make recommendations to the iwi via Te Maru o Ngati Rangiwewehi.

We are focussed on growing beautiful Ngāti Rangiwewehi tamariki/mokopuna who are confident in their both their Ngāti Rangiwewehitanga and Te Reo Māori. We are lucky to have three Kaiako who have achieved their Whakapakiri Tohu- this is the highest qualification within the Kohanga Reo movement. Our Kaiako work closely with the whānau and the wider iwi to design an innovative and exciting curriculum that encompasses the interests of our tamariki in order to maximise learning outcomes.

Pekehaua Puna Trust
Pekehaua Puna Reserve is 3.6508ha with 1603 land owners who are predominately affiliated to Ngāti Rangiwewehi Iwi.
Pekehaua and Hinerua came from Hawaiki with Ruaeo. For Ngāti Rangiwewehi, Pekehaua is the kaitiaki (guardian) of the springs and the waters that makeup the Te Awahou Stream.
Pekehaua and Hinerua also protect the subterranean channels that link the Taniwha and Hamurana springs together, and other underground waterways and streams in the area.
The concepts and responsibilities of kaitakitanga (guardianship) are fundamental to the way Pekehaua Puna Reserve Trust expresses Rangātiratanga (sovereignty) over their taonga (precious things) so that the mauri (life principal) and mana (authority) of the waterways is not compromised.
All these factors contribute to what makes us an Iwi and are important and essential elements to the physical and spiritual wellbeing of Ngāti Rangiwewehi and Pekehaua Puna Reserve Trust.
