🌿 He pānui mate, he pānui aroha 🌿

E auē ana ngā ngākau neki i te hinganga atu o tō tātou iti kahurangi.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Clara Henderson (née Minhinnick), affectionately known to all as Clare, on Thursday 23rd July 2026.

Cherished and devoted wife of Robert (Bobby) Henderson, survived by her "personal six-pack" – Riki, Jasmine, Alana-Rose, Troy, Ethan, and Jesse. Clare is now reunited with her precious baby Nikita, who went before her.

A Nan to many mokopuna, a dearly loved sister to Lyrae, Damian, Shirley, Shelley, and Deanna, and a beloved aunty, cousin and friend. Clare will be deeply missed and forever held in our hearts.

An informal, family-centred celebration of Clare's life will be held at Maunu Crematorium on Monday 27 July 2026 at 10:30am. We warmly welcome all who knew and loved Clare to join us as we honour her life, share our memories, and farewell her with love.

Nau mai, kia tangihia tō tātou huia kaimanawa kua riro atu ki te pō.

Ngā Pakiaka O Manaia - Rescheduled Hui Notice

Mō Ngātiwai, Mā Ngātiwai, Nā Ngātiwai, E ai ki a Ngātiwai – About Ngātiwai, by Ngātiwai, from Ngātiwai.

We want to collectively develop a comprehensive declaration of Mana Rangatiratanga that asserts the self-determination of our hapū and Iwi.

We envisage the declaration will contain a set of principled position statements that encapsulate the essence of Mana Rangatiratanga, Kaitiakitanga, Mana i te Whenua, Tino Rangatiratanga, Mana Motuhake and our position in terms of our mana tuku iho (hereditary authority) as Ngātiwai.

To help guide this work, we invite all uri of Ngātiwai to share their whakaaro through our short survey:

Rescheduled Hui Notice

Due to bad weather and tangi in March and April we had to postpone some of our wananga for this kaupapa. We have now rescheduled those wananga and decided to add an online option for those who may live overseas or just couldn’t make it to one of our in-person events.

Once we collect and consider all the feedback from these remaining wananga we intend to come back out later in the year to present what we have heard and to seek your tautoko on a draft declaration.

🗓 When: Monday 15 June

⏰ Time: 6:00pm

📍 Where: Online Teams Hui

🗓 When: Wednesday 17 June

Nau mai, haere mai e ngā uri o Ngātiwai — join the kōrero as we shape this declaration together.

We miss him dearly already, but take great comfort in our Heavenly Father’s plan of salvation and happiness. We know this separation is only temporary, and we look forward with hope to the day we are reunited with our Papa again.
