About Te Rūnunga o Toa Rangatira:

Te Rūnunga o Toa Rangatira is the mandated iwi authority for Ngāti Toa Rangatira. Since its establishment in 1990, it has acted as the administrative body of iwi estates and assets. It also manages political and public interests on behalf of Ngāti Toa Rangatira including Tiriti claims and settlements, commercial and customary fisheries, health services (including primary mental health and residential care services), social services, central and local government relationships, and resource and environmental management. It is also responsible for commercial interests including a significant portfolio of property assets. Te Rūnunga o Toa Rangatira Incorporated is a non-profit incorporated society with charitable status.

Ngāti Toa is a strong, vibrant, and influential iwi – firmly grounded in their cultural identity and leading change to enable whānau wellbeing and prosperity. Ngāti Toa’s rohe extends from the Whangaehu River south along the ranges to Turkirae, crossing Raukawa Moana (Cook Strait) to Marlborough and Nelson. This is encapsulated in the tribal pepeha: Mai I Miria to Kakara ki Whitireia, whakawhiti te moana Raukawa, ki Wairau, ki Whakatū.
Their whāinga (mission) is to empower whānau, reclaim iwi self-determination, and revitalise our environment. They do this through leadership, innovation, connectedness, and exercising their rangatiratanga.
