Te Kaupapa
This kaupapa forms the underlying values upon which Whaingaroa is constructed and the principles upon which Te Rūnanga O Whaingaroa will operate.
- Te Tiriti o Waitangi establishes our relationship with the Crown and our constitutional place in this county.
- Rangatiratanga establishes our authority and responsibility as individuals, whanau, hapu and iwi to ourselves, others and to the world we live in.
- Tohungatanga recognises the knowledge and wisdom in which we exercise our authority and responsibility.
- Manaakitanga recognises our responsibility to respect and care for all things created.
- Whanaungatanga acknowledges that all things are connected and impact on each other, therefore the great importance of understanding these relationships.
- Ukaipo acknowledges the nurturing relationship we have with our papakainga and whanau and our responsibility to sustain and maintain these relationships.
- Kotahitanga establishes our ultimate goal – unity and harmony.
Te Rūnanga o Whaingaroa was established in 1991, to access resources and deliver services for the whanau of Whaingaroa.
