PANUI – HUI Ā IWI POSTPONED

E te iwi o Ngāti Hauā, tēnā koutou katoa

Due to the impacts and uncertainty surrounding Cyclone Vaianu, the Ngāti Hauā hui ā iwi scheduled for Sunday 12 April at Waimakariri Marae has been postponed.

The safety and wellbeing of our whānau is our top priority. With weather conditions expected to be unpredictable, we believe it is important that everyone remains safe and avoids unnecessary travel at this time.

We encourage all whānau to:

Take care and stay safe
Check on and support your whānau, kaumātua and neighbours
Stay updated with official weather and civil defence advice

We will communicate a new date for the hui as soon as possible.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou

🌿 Rangatahi mā – Karawhiua!
The Rangatahi Taiao Haerenga with Waikato‑Tainui is an awesome chance to get out on the whenua, learn new skills, connect with other rangatahi as kaitiaki. If you care about te taiao or just want to try something new, jump in and be part of this kaupapa 👌🏽

Karanga raa, karanga raa, karanga raa.
Karanga raa ki ngaa rangatahi o Waikato-Tainui!!!

Expressions of interest are now open for the Rangatahi Taiao Haerenga 2026 🍃
7-9 April 2026

This haerenga is for tribally registered rangatahi aged 16-25 to connect to the many taiao environments within the Waikato rohe.

Over three days, rangatahi will embark on a journey across the rohe, strengthening their hononga to the whenua, wai and moana, while learning alongside others who share a passion for taiao and kaitiakitanga.

Rangatahi will gain insights into the Waikato-Tainui Treaty Settlement, Te Ture Whaimana moo te Awa o Waikato, and the Tai Tumu, Tai Pari, Tai Ao Environmental Management Plan - key frameworks that reflect our iwi's role and responsibilities as kaitiaki.

This rangatahi taiao haerenga is a space for whakapapa, whanaungatanga and waananga, fostering koorero tuku iho and getting inspired by those who are actively working to restore and protect our lands and waters.

Registrations close on 20 March, 2026.
