Tamariki

Why register?

Registering helps ensure your voice is included in decisions that affect our collective future.

 

An accurate iwi register allows the Trust to stay connected with whānau, share important updates, and ensure you can participate in key processes such as voting, hui, and future settlement matters.

 

It also helps strengthen our collective identity by recognising the whakapapa connections that bind us together.
