Dedicated to ensuring the smooth running of our marae, upholding tikanga, and providing a welcoming space for whānau, manuhiri, kaimahi, and the wider community. From maintaining our facilities to coordinating events, our team works tirelessly to support cultural, social, and educational initiatives that strengthen our connections both internally & externally.
We are the tangata whenua of Tāmaki with our mana over the land and sea being underpinned by take tūpuna (ancestral relationships), take raupatu (taking of the land and sea by traditional warfare), ahi kā (unbroken occupation) and tuku whenua (traditional gifting of land ).
Ko au te tangata whenua o Tāmaki pokapū me Te Waitematā. He take tupuna, he take raupatu, he ahi kā, he tuku whenua, te takenga mai o tōku rangatiratanga, ki runga o Te Kahu Tōpuni o Tuperiri e hora ake nei.
