"It has been great throughout this Election process to see passionate Ngati Porou people like Mate, who care about the future of our Iwi and are pro-active in making sure their vote counts."
The panui has been produced to give the Iwi a glimpse of what is happening around the Board table and to disseminate this information to Ngati Porou whanui.
The Joint Management Agreement over the Waiapu Catchment, will enable Ngati Porou and the Council to jointly perform or exercise any of the local authority’s functions, powers, or duties under the RMA and other legislation relating to natural or physical resources.
To aid the democratic process during the TRONPnui 2015 Election, The Gisborne Herald and Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou have provided this opportunity for the 38 candidates to share their vision for the iwi.
Hot off the press, Nga Marae o Te Riu o Waiapu, was produced as a resource to encourage and guide those searching out their whakapapa, Marae and Hapū connections to Te Riu o Waiapu and Ngāti Porou.
Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou welcomes the opportunity to partner with the Gisborne District Council to enable the sustainable and responsible management of the Waiapu Catchment.
Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou says its Te Tini o Porou complex in the former DB Hotel turns what was once a place centred around alcohol into a community hub based around the well-being of whanau.
The whare is a testament to the foresight of Apirana Tuahae Kaukapakapa Mahuika - Chair of Te Runanga o Ngati Porou (later Runanganui) since its inception until his death earlier this year.
Each eligible Adult Member registered with their Rohenga Tipuna will receive a voting paper and a candidate sheet listing the names and profiles of the candidates standing for election in their respective Rohenga Tipuna.
It is now time for Ngati Porou to stand up, come forward and bring their collective and diverse skills from economic, social and cultural arenas to help transform our tribal vision into reality.
