SAVE Tumu Kaituna

Kia ora koutou

Save Tumu Kaituna campaign is led by the descendants of Tumu Kaituna. Some of their tupuna fought for this land in the Battle of Te Tumu at Tumu Pa. Many died and were buried here.

Our concerns are the proposed urban development will destroy one of the few significant and unique historical, cultural, spiritual and environmental places we have left in Tauranga Moana which runs along our sacred Kaituna River.

We want to keep one of the last remaining pieces of Māori-owned land at Pāpāmoa (Aotearoa New Zealand) in Māori hands.

We are fighting a plan by Tumu Kaituna 14 Trust, Tauranga City Council, various developers and neighbouring non-Māori land owners that if successful will strip us of our ancestral land More than 4,900 Māori land owners will be alienated.

While the plan is expected to provide new housing for 15,500 people, we have seen no plans that provide housing for Māori land owners. We also have concerns of what that kind of urban development would do to the environment and our sacred waahi tapu sites.

The plan lacks Māori values including intergenerational thinking and the trustees need to get back to the table with their people. A lot of our people are really hurt that those they have put their faith in could potentially take away what little land they have left.

If you want to check if you or your whanau are an owner in this land go online to: http://www.maorilandonline.govt.nz/gis/owner/interestSearch.htm

All owners are being urged to join the ‘Tumu Kaituna 14’ group on Facebook which is a group set up especially to keep owners informed of what is happening.

If you are not an owner, you can still help with your support and aroha - just like, follow and share this page and stay tuned for the ‘how’ and ‘when.’

Kia ora koutou.
