Nau mau, haere mai ki Te Kāhui Maru,
Te Iwi o Maruwharanui
Located within the natural flora and fauna of Tarata, adjacent to the shimmering hue of the Waitara river, is a marae local Iwi and Hapu call Te Upoko o te Whenua.
Akin to the Ngāti Maru Iwi, the marae has over a generation become the foundation of many whānau, most of whom have partaken in the development of what it stands for today, “a place they can call home”.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Maru
Deed of Settlement Signing
The last Taranaki iwi to settle with the Crown has signed its deed of settlement putting to rest its historical grievances. Ngāti Maru made a call last week to downsize the milestone event to keep their people safe in a post-Covid era but they plan to mark the occasion properly in due course. Eruera Rerekura filed this story.
