Whangaroa will speak for itself!!

For generations, our hapū have carried the histories, experiences, and aspirations of our people. Those stories belong to us.

The journey through the Waitangi Tribunal and into Treaty settlement is not just a legal process — it is a collective effort to ensure that the voice of Whangaroa is heard, understood, and respected.

Whangaroa Papa Hapū exists to support that journey. It is a space where hapū come together, share knowledge, and work collectively toward a future shaped by our own people.

The whakaaro that guides this work is simple and powerful:
Mā Whangaroa a Whangaroa anō e kōrero
Only Whangaroa can speak for Whangaroa.

Our stories are told by our own people, our decisions are shaped by our hapū, and our future is determined by our collective voice.

We are here to help whānau stay connected to that journey — providing information about upcoming hui, important documents, the mandate process, and opportunities to participate.

Add Your Voice
As kaitiaki of the beneficiary register for ngā hapū o Whangaroa, we invite your participation.

Registration is a simple but important step. It allows us to keep you informed about hui, voting opportunities, and key milestones as we navigate this journey.

It helps us understand where our whānau are across the rohe and beyond. Many of our people live away from home, and this is a way to stay connected, receive updates, and remain part of the collective journey of Whangaroa.

Every person who registers strengthens the voice of their hapū. When our numbers are clear and our people are informed, we are better positioned to secure outcomes that reflect the aspirations of Whangaroa and future generations.

Whether you live in Whangaroa or elsewhere, your connection matters. We encourage you to register and share this with your whānau, helping to strengthen our collective voice so that together we stand strong in the journey ahead.

If you are of Whangaroa descent, stay connected — because the strength of our future depends on the strength of our collective voice.
