Ngai Tai ki Tamaki is a relatively recent organisation to emerge from whanau members traditionally connected to Umupuia Marae, but who have since the 1990s branched out to establish a Ngai Tai identity distinct from that of Ngai Tai Umupuia in other parts of Tamaki Makaurau. Ngai Tai ki T?maki whanau are also closely linked with Ngati Whatua, Te Kawerau-a-Maki and Te Waiohua. Some prominent members of Ngai Tai ki Tamaki have included historian and ethnologist Te Warena Taua; artist and political activist Emere Karaka; and artist, film-maker, orator and historian Pita Turei among others.

Hapu Connected with Marae - Ngati Te Ao, Te Uri O Hina

The Marae offers a chance for tourists, school groups and local people to experience Maori culture in an attraction that is unique to Christchurch and the South Island. The Marae provides daily tours for school groups and tourists. The Marae employs up to thirty people as guides, teachers, and caterers, and as part of its highly successful cultural group, to educate visitors in all aspects of traditional Maori customs and history. The Marae itself features two of New Zealand's most spectacularly carved whare, or meeting houses, Aoraki and the Whare Wananga developed by hundreds of inexperienced trainee carvers.

Hapu Connected with Marae - Ngati Te Maara, Te Kai Tutai

Morehu Marae is one of three Marae belonging to the Hapu of Te Uri-o-tai, which has three papakainga within its rohe. Each Marae is located within one of the papakainga making up the community of Pawarenga. The foundation of these papakainga dates back to the resettlement of Pawarenga, following the pakanga at Ahipara, and was established under the mana-whenua of the Tupuna, Tarapatiki, Wiripo, Te Huhu and Parehe Papa. Each Marae symbolizes the collective mana of the Kaitiaki whanau within their respective papakainga, and collectively the mana of Te Uri-O-Tai.

Ngati Hawea, Ngati Kautere. Matahiwi Marae is one of the oldest established marae of Ngati Hawea in Hawke’s Bay. It was set up originally as a neutral meeting area for the prominent chiefs around the area. Today the reserve covers an area of 1.6 hectares and is situated near the mouth of the Tukituki river and surrounded by orchards, vines and horticultural enterprises. Matahiwi is the gateway to the land, which bears the name, Cape Kidnappers. One can hear the stories that are recorded in the carvings about Maui, his family and the values they have left for the generations that follow to maintain and pass on.
