Te Runanga o Te Rarawa is the tribal council representing the interests of the marae and hapu that make up the iwi of Te Rarawa. The Runanga is made up of two representatives for each of the affiliated marae in the rohe of Te Rarawa, and from the affiliated Taurahere roopu that operate from outside of hapu marae takiwa. Currently there are 27 marae affiliated and two taurahere. The traditional rohe of Te Rarawa is described as the area from Hokianga to Maungataniwha, down through Victoria Valley river to Maimaru, across from Awanui Bridge west to Te Oneroa a Tohe (the Ninety Mile Beach) at Hukatere then down to Mitimiti and Hokianga.

Ngati Ruanui’s early identity was forged in battle. The tribe’s ancestor, Turi, left the Pacific island of Rangiatea to escape a blood feud and save his life. With his people, he endured many trials at sea before arriving and settling in south Taranaki. Generations later, the people of Ngati Ruanui were besieged by warring tribes, as well as by British soldiers in the wars of the 1860s.

he Kohanga Reo National Trust was established in 1982 and formalised as a charitable trust in 1983. Its aims were to manage the kaupapa (philosophy) of the Kohanga Reo movement and to facilitate a partnership between the people and the departments of Government, in particular, the Department of Maori Affairs. In 1990 the responsibility for Kohanga Reo was transferred from the Department of Maori Affairs to the Ministry of Education. The Trust, as the governing body, has therefore had a key role in providing the support needed by Kohanga Reo. This support has involved specific investment in mokopuna, whanau, and their cultural infrastructure of language, kinship, relationship management, whanau learning, whanau decision-making, and community interdependence. It has also involved supporting the educational, health and communication needs of Kohanga children and whanau so that they can successfully participate in and contribute towards the growth of Kohanga Reo.

Te Aupouri is a small but proud tribe of Aotearoa. As at the 2003 Census, 8200 people recorded themselves as being Te Aupouri or a descendant. Our ancestral land is the place known as the Aupouri Peninsula, at the very tip of Te Ika a Maui (North Island of New Zealand). We are the descendants of some of the earliest Polynesian explorers to this land, Aotearoa (New Zealand). Te Hononga operates as a sub-committee under the umbrella of the Aupouri Maori Trust Board and operates pursuant to Section 20 of the Trust Boards Act.

Te Aupouri Maori Trust Board is a statutory board established under the Maori Trust Boards Act 1955. The functions of the Board are 'to administer its assets in accordance with the provisions of this Act for the general benefit of all its beneficiaries, and, for that purpose the Board may, in its discretion, provide money for the benefit or the advancement in life of any specific beneficiary, or of any class or classes of beneficiaries'.
