Our Trust | Te Aitanga a Mahaki Iwi Site

Welcome from the Chair - Pehimana Haapu Brown 

Tēnā koutou e ngā iwi o Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki, me mihi ki a koutou katoa!

The Trust represents its 11 marae spread throughout the largest catchment in the Gisborne region, the 2,200 square kilometre Waipaoa River Catchment.

They are Mangatū Marae, Matawai Marae, Pārihimānihi Marae (Waihīrere), Pākowhai Marae, Rangatira Marae, Rongopai Marae, Tākipū Marae, Takitimu Marae, Tapuihikitia Marae, Tarere Marae, and Te Wainui Marae.

The Trust strives to promote education, social services, health services and other services within our communities of Tūranganui-a-Kiwa, which will benefit those of Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki descent and advance their independence.​

Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki has a roll of its beneficiaries; it was put together at the beginning of the year 2014 and is in addition to previous rolls of Māhaki uri. With the hopeful settlement of our claim taking place within the next 24 months, the opportunity to revise our beneficiaries roll will take place at that point.
