Ko Wai Mātou
Our People, Our Awa
Ngāti Hinekura stands as mana whenua and kaitiaki of Tieke Marae, guardians of our ancestral lands and the sacred awa that flows through our rohe. Our iwi has maintained an unbroken connection to this whenua for countless generations.
Te Puawaitanga o Hinekura, our wharenui, serves as the beating heart of our community where whānau gather to maintain our ahikā and ensure our taonga tuku iho are passed on. As kaitiaki, we work closely with conservation partners and welcome visitors who come to learn about our whenua.
