What We Do

Our Job is that we manage the forests and other resources that belong to our iwi (tribe). We’ve been doing this since 2009, working hard to make sure these resources help our people now and in the future.

 

Our Vision

Our Big Dream:

Tipua te ao o Tūwharetoa mō te iwi, ki te hāpai ngā hapū taketake.

In English:

We want to grow and strengthen the world of Tūwharetoa for our people and make our hapū (sub-tribes) even stronger.

We are the Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust. We look after the money and land that was returned to Ngāti Tūwharetoa people through a special agreement with the government.
