Kaupapa kōrero
The following kaupapa kōrero was developed in late 2019 when the Ngāti Hinemanu, Ngāi Te Upokoiri me ōna Piringa Hapū Authority Trust was incorporated. It guides our planning and activity throughout everything we do.
"Mā ngā hapū o Ngāti Hinemanu, Ngāi Te Ūpokoiri me ōna Piringa hapū o Ngāti Mahuika me Ngāti Honomōkai, e mahi tahi, e whakakotahi ai i ngā wā katoa i raro i te maru a maungarongo, kia ora ake ai tātau ki te whai tonu i tō tātau Tino Rangatiratanga, kia whai hua mō ngā whānau, ngā marae, ngā hapū me te taiao."
“Our principle hapū of Ngāi Te Upokoiri,Ngāti Hinemanu, and associated hapū Ngāti Mahuika and Ngāti Honomōkai will always work together as one in a community of peace and in a way that will create wellbeing for us so that we may practice our own Tino Rangatiratanga for the benefit of all our whānau, marae, hapū and surrounding environment.”
