Kia tū ai a Ngāti
Toa Rangatira;
Hei iwi Toa,
Hei iwi Rangatira.

About us
Mō Mātou

Ko Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira te mana kōkiri mō Ngāti Toa Rangatira. I whakatūria te Rūnanga i te tau 1990 hei tiaki i ngā rawa me ngā hua pūmau o te iwi.

Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira was established in 1990. It is the mandated iwi authority for Ngāti Toa Rangatira, and the administrative body of iwi estates and assets.  

Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira manages political and public interests on behalf of Ngāti Toa Rangatira including Tiriti claims and settlements, commercial and customary fisheries, health services (including primary mental health and residential care services), social services, central and local government relationships, and resource and environmental management. It is also responsible for commercial interests including property assets. Te Rūnanga O Toa Rangatira Incorporated is a non-profit incorporated society with charitable status. 

The rohe of Ngāti Toa extends from the Whangaehu River south along the ranges to Turakirae. It then crosses Raukawa Moana (Cook Strait) to Marlborough and Nelson. This is encapsulated in the tribal pepeha: Mai i Miria te Kakara ki Whitireia, whakawhiti te moana Raukawa, ki Wairau, ki Whakatū.

Moemoeā: Our vision is that Ngāti Toa is a strong, vibrant and influential iwi, firmly grounded in our cultural identity and leading change to enable whānau wellbeing and prosperity.

Whāinga: Our mission is to empower our whānau, reclaiming our own iwi self-determination, revitalising our environment through leadership, innovation, connectedness and exercising our rangatiratanga.
