Ngāti Rangi

Te Kāhui o Paerangi

Te Kāhui o Paerangi is the tribal rūnanga for Ngāti Rangi and consists of marae and pahake representatives. This body is the ‘matua’ (principal) body for the tribe and provides constructive guidance for the respective organisations that implement tribal aspirations.

As the representative voice of our marae, the purpose of the Kāhui is to:

• Provide strategic and political leadership for the iwi of Ngāti Rangi as the descendants of Paerangi-i-te-Whare-Toka;

• Uphold the kawa and tikanga of Ngāti Rangi;

• Advocate for our marae and their respective hapū; and

• Promote sustainable environmental decisions based on the principles that evolve from our kawa and tikanga.

Strategic and political leadership for the iwi of Ngāti Rangi

• Developing kawa and tikanga based principles to guide strategic decisions at a Kāhui and Trust level;

• Maintaining tribal mandate for all activities progressed by the Kāhui and Trust; and

• Maintaining and developing strategic relationships.
