Ko Wai MātouWho We Are

The Ngāti Mutunga o Wharekauri Iwi Trust (“Iwi Trust”) represents the collective interests of Ngāti Mutunga o Wharekauri (NMOW) and is a mandated iwi authority for the purposes of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Māori Fisheries Act 2004.  It is the successor to the old Ngāti Mutunga o Wharekauri Trust and Te Runanga o Wharekauri.

The Trust manages over $33.9m in tribal assets.

These assets are used to generate the income the Trust uses to (amongst other things):

• Build and manage our 3 homes and 2 kaumatua flats at Te One
• Deliver our support programmes (click here for more information: Ngā Painga)
• Support our kaumatua
• Run our settlement process
• Support our tribal aspirations

Our board is made up of 7 trustees:  5 Ahi kaa on Wharekauri, 1 from Te Waipounamu, 1 from Te Ika a Maui

One trustee is a director on the 4-member asset holding company
