Te Tauihu

The mana whenua/tangata whenua of Te Tauihu is made up of eight iwi;

We are bound together by whakapapa, intermarriage, co-residence and shared customary rights and/or overlapping customary rights. In contemporary times, we are joined by mātāwaka from across the motu who also call our rohe their home, our manuhiri.

Te Kāhui Hauora Rohe

‘Our history, whakapapa and connections determine our connection to whenua and moana’

Te Kāhui Hauora o Te Tauihu have a shared vision and aspirations to achieve positive outcomes for whānau, hapū, iwi and hapori across all domains including health. We do this through working together, being collaborative, innovative and unified. We value relationships, acting in good faith and with integrity, always.

Te Tauihu iwi will continue to serve and support whānau no matter where they reside, whānau wellbeing is paramount. The iwi association within this area remains and our Te Tauihu iwi do not resile from our connection to our respective whenua in which we have connection. We are not and will never be defined by lines on maps.
