UNITE NGĀPUHI

We are a group of Ngāpuhi descendants who work in all areas of our communities across Ngāpuhi and Aotearoa and have a deep desire to unite our hapū in order for us to move together in the future. We want to form a Taumata of Leaders, Representatives from the 110 Hapū and communicate on issues regarding He Whakaputanga, Te Tiriti ō Waitangi, Settlement Negotiations, Te Reo Ngāpuhi, Ngāpuhi Infrastructure, Current Assets, Political Influence, Policy Recommendations, Housing, Health, Justice, Education, Commerce and International Trading, Intellectual Property and Matauranga Ngāpuhi. 

We are Hapū Leaders, Hapū members, Cultural Consultants, CEOs, Financial Advisors, Legal Consultants, Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Teachers, Principals, Community Reps, Health Professionals, Mātua, Kaumatua, Kuia, & ultimately Ngāpuhi Descendants. 

Is to unite our Ngāpuhi nation by creating a solid Taumata and Hapū Representation Board. We want to initially address the elephant in the room, The Treaty Settlement Negotiations and figure out our way forward together. We want to ensure there is understanding of this process and what it ultimately means for our people. We want to take a fresh view of the situation to work towards our United Goal. Then we want to create a Strategic Priorities Plan which every Hapū will begin to detail as part of this process. We have lost so much, now let’s tell the Government exactly how much Hapū by Hapū.
