The idea to establish a marae began in 1955 with a small but dedicated group of local people at the time. Fundraising efforts continued over the years and in 1981 the opening of our meeting house took place with a hapati. We continue the efforts of maintaining relationships with our community, hapū and iwi.

Ko Maungahaumi te maunga Ko Waipaoa te awa Ko Hineteariki te taniwhaKo Rangatira te marae Ko Te Whakahau te wharenui Ko Ngāti Wāhia te hapūKo Horouta te wakaKo Te Aitanga a Mahaki te iwi
E tū ana a Rangatira marae i te taha tika o te awa o Waipaoa, i te kainga o Te Karaka. He marae i whakatūria e ngā koroua hei whakatutuki i te kupu a Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki i whakataukī ai ki ngā kaumatua o Te Aitanga a Mahaki, ara, ‘Haere, hoki atu, whakahautia te Rongopai i runga i Te Ngawari, i runga i Te Aroha.’ He marae i hangaia mo ngā uri o Ngāti Wāhia, ōtira Te Aitanga a Māhaki iwi. He marae Ringatū, i nā rā i rangona te pere o Tekaumārua, o te Huamata me te Pure. I kite, i rongo i ngā pūkerikeri o te taiao, i koroheketia i roto i ngā tau tata. I tēnei rā, e kakari ana ōnā uri ki te whakarauora mo ngā whakatipuranga e piki ake ana.
Rangatira Marae is located in Te Karaka on the western banks of the Waipaoa river. It’s a symbol of honour to the words of Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki in the late 1800's. The name of the wharenui Te Whakahau came about from a visit by elders of Te Aitanga a Mahaki to Te Kooti when he was living in Te Rohe Potae, Te Kuiti. Te Kooti uttered the saying, Haere, hoki atu, Whakahautia te Rongopai i runga i Te Ngawari, i runga i Te Aroha. Go back and promote the simple message of the Gospel, using the spirit of charity. A marae built for the Ngāti Wāhia hapū, Te Aitanga a Māhaki iwi. It once hosted the many Ringatū church gatherings of Tekaumārua, Huamata and Pure. It has withstood the elements and the flooding of Bola in 1988. Today the whānau journey to revive and rebuild Rangatira marae for the generations to come.
