Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rārua is the mandated iwi authority of the iwi Ngāti Rārua who are from Te Tau Ihu o te Waka o Maui and of Tainui waka. The role of the Rūnanga is to care, uphold and enhance the mana, the assets and the whānau whanui of Ngāti Rārua.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rārua holds a mix of land, financial assets, business assets and trusts. We use these to grow our capital base so we can help our people thrive.
Wherever you go in the world, you’ll always be embraced as one of our own in Ngāti Rārua. We've created a selection of Ngāti Rārua stories for you to share with your family, friends and the world.
Ngāti Rārua has a long history, the resources provided here are a small curation of a wider archive. We owe our existence today to the many brave people who took up the difficult task of getting our land back.
We are a diverse people, widely spread across the entire globe. Connect, learn and celebrate what it means to be Ngāti Rārua with us. Explore our activities.
