Mā Whangaroa a Whangaroa e kōrero
Welcome to the Whangaroa Papa Hapū website. We hope that this information will help you find, learn and share as whānau and hapū of Whangaroa.
Whangaroa Papa Hapū is the collective that supported members of Whangaroa hapū and whānau to research and prepare their historical claims that were submitted to the Waitangi Tribunal between 2011 and 2018. You can read more about our involvement in this process by clicking here – Our History.
This website is a hub for whānau and hapū of Whangaroa to learn about, and participate in the journey of developing a proposal and strategy for the support to engage with the Crown in Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations.
Whangaroa Papa Hapū continues to support whānau and hapū to seek restitution from the Crown to secure and provide for our shared future. Our desire is that Whangaroa hapū get the best possible outcome from the Waitangi Tribunal and Treaty claims processes.
In doing so, we assert our Mission Statement, that is:
“Mā Whangaroa a Whangaroa anō e korero”
