**NGĀTI KOPAKI MANDATE VOTING HUI**

After listening to whanau, and with respect for the diverse views, we believe it is time to take the next step together.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hine will now seek endorsement from Ngāti Kopaki through a hapū vote.

The resolution is: That Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Hine endorse Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hine to seek, hold, and protect a Mandate on behalf of Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Hine for future Treaty negotiations with the Crown.

This hui will be facilitated by Rowena Tana and Suzie Hati-Scott.
