Whakarewa
Te Whānau o Motueka
Rising to our true potential, grounded by the land
Kia ora and welcome to Whakarewa
We are thrilled to have you here and invite you to explore the rich history, culture, and values of the hapū of Motueka. Our descendants whakapapa back to one or more of our 94 Ngāti Rārua tūpuna and 15 Te Ātiawa tūpuna. These ancestors are the original landowners of our Motueka homelands.
As a Trust, we manage and nurture these land holdings on behalf of and for the benefit of all the descendants of the original 109 owners.
Whakarewa was established to serve our people and promote the wellbeing of our communities. Our mission is to connect ourselves, our lands and our legacy.
