KO WAI MĀTOU
Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki (NHoŌ) is the vehicle that assists its members and the body where important current issues are discussed.
NHoŌ was originally set up under the auspices of the Charitable entity, Raukawa Marae Management Committee. Their unwavering support enabled our growth and success.
We created a shared kaupapa to enable whānau members and hapū in Ōtaki the opportunity to:
Work together to realise their dreams and aspirations
Live in a thriving and vibrant community, and
Actively contribute to sustaining our people, our reo, our land, and our environment for future generations according to tikanga Māori.
As at 1 July 2024, NHoŌ has flourished to what is now known as Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki Incorporated Society. Continuing to deliver for whānau who whakapapa to the five hapū of Ōtaki, being:
Ngāti Koroki
Ngāti Maiotaki
Ngāti Kapu
Ngāti Pare, and
Ngāti Huia ki Katihiku
“Inā te mahi he Rangatira”
“let one’s work speak for itself.”
