Ka nui te mihi ki te tokorua nei, ki ēnei rangatira, ki ngā rau hōkioi o Te Rara o Te Rangi e hāpai nei i te whakaaro whakatupu o te iwi.

E te whānau, we have two of our own from Ngāti Kauae and Ngāti Tauira standing in this year’s hapū elections for Te Rūnanga o Ngā Wairiki Ngāti Apa. If you’re registered with the Rūnanga, please ensure your postal address is up to date so that your voting papers reach you. Let’s all play our part in shaping the future of our iwi!

Tēnā tātou,

E te whānau, e tangi tonu ana te ngākau ki tō tātou rangatira, matua, ki a Rt Hon Adrian Rurawhe.

As we prepare for our AGM, we acknowledge with great sadness the passing of our late Chair, Uncle Adrian. His loss is still deeply felt across our whānau, hapū and iwi. We acknowledge with aroha and immense gratitude all that he gave in service to our people, and the legacy he leaves for us to carry forward.

Tū kau mai rā Kōpu i te ata, ka riro rā te mana o te tangata, te maru o Papawhenua. Haere rā e pā, whai atu i te tira ki raro o Paerau. Noho kau nei ō rahi o Ngāti Kauae, o Ngāti Tauira i te ao ka mahue i a koe. E moe, e oki.

Rātou ki a rātou, tātou ki a tātou, otirā, e te iwi kia ora.
