From the development of sustainable housing to the management of cultural, environmental, and commercial initiatives, our team ensures every project aligns with the vision and priorities of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. With a commitment to excellence, collaboration, and honoring our tūpuna, we deliver outcomes that strengthen our community and safeguard the iwi's heritage for years to come.
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.
