This Matariki, we mark a new beginning on our whenua. On 19 June 2025, Te Korowai o Wainuiārua joined with whānau, tamariki, schools, and partners to open Te Hangāruru, a new section of the Mountains to Sea – Ngā Ara Tūhono trail that runs through the heart of our rohe.

It was a day of creativity, connection, and reflection for the Waimarino community, as Te Korowai o Wainuiārua and REAP hosted a Matariki mā Puanga wānanga celebrating traditional knowledge through mahi toi.

Te Korowai o Wainuiārua Trust is inviting Expressions of Interest for two key independent governance roles that support the strategic growth and kaupapa of our iwi Post-Settlement Governance Entity (PSGE).

A project we’ve all been working on for a long time is nearly complete, and it’s time to celebrate together.

We invite you to this hui - a space for us to deepen our collective understanding, visit sites of significance, and wānanga about the role we play in restoring and protecting the awa that nourishes us.

Tamariki from Ōrautoha School recently took part in a special learning experience, joining forces with Project Tongariro and the Department of Conservation to deepen their understanding of one of Aotearoa’s most treasured taonga, the kiwi.

Last week, the trustees held their first official board meeting. This followed a successful Trustees induction workshop held in February.

A historic moment unfolded in Parliament as the final reading of the Te Korowai o Wainuiārua Claims Settlement Bill was completed, marking a pivotal milestone in our iwi’s journey towards healing and justice. This momentous occasion was witnessed by the uri of Uenuku, Tamahaki, and Tamakana, who gathered to celebrate decades of perseverance.
