Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated Taiwhenua Contacts.

Ngati Rangi is an ancient pre-migration iwi. The people emerged from the time of Maui as descendants of Moururu, an ancestor older than Kupe. Indeed it is from Kupe that the phrase was coined in relation to Te Kahui Maunga that the fires of occupation were already burning on his arrival. The tribal identity comes from Paerangi-i-te-whare toka (Paerangi) and is linked to the mountain region of the central plateau – Te Kahui Maunga. Ngati Rangi is bound primarily by three descendants of Paerangi: Rangituhia, Rangiteauria and Uenuku-manawa-wiri. On the arrival of Aotea, the intermarriages of their descendants with the people of Aotea, particularly Hau-nui-a-Paparangi built a close affiliation with the hapu that developed in the Whanganui river region. However, Ngti Rangi maintains a unique and independent identity within the region, as the first iwi to populate the mountain area of the central plateau and the Whanganui River basin.

He Iwi Kotahi Tatou Trust was started in the early 1980s. Initially in response to the growing unemployment problems that had built up to the riot in 1979. Youth issues were a focus in the early years, which led us into developing training programs. In 1995 we decided to change direction as we felt that the training focus had taken over the Trust and we were having increasing difficulty reaching the employment outcomes required of a Tops Funded Training Provider.

The AWI was established in 1970 to take back (resume) 101,000 acres of land vested into the Aotea Maori Land Council by Whanganui Maori in 1903. However, in order for the Incorporation to take this land back it had, under imposed legislation, to purchase the improvements from lessees at the expiry of their leases. The opportunity to resume leased land only occurred at the end of a 21 years lease period, or when a lessee sought to surrender their lease early.

Archives New Zealand, Te Rua Mahara o te Kawanatanga is the official guardian of New Zealand’s public archives. We gather, store and protect an extremely wide range of material. Our holdings include the originals of the Treaty of Waitangi, government documents, maps, paintings, photographs and film. Many different people and organisations, including family historians, academics, legal researchers, professional historians and genealogists use the materials held at Archives New Zealand. They document rights and entitlements and provide evidence of government activity. The materials also record history and document the relationship between Maori and the Crown. The archives are a valuable resource and have contributed to Treaty claim research, Maori language revitalisation, and iwi, hapu and whanau history.
