Ngāti Rārua tūpuna came to Te Tauihu o te Waka a Māui in the 1820s and 1830s, as part of the great southwards migration of the Kawhia and Taranaki tribes. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rārua manages assets, businesses and taonga on behalf of all Ngāti Rārua whānau members.
Environmental mahi is carried out by the Taiao Team and includes:
- Assessment of resource consents, concessions & mining permits
- Participation in council district & regional resource management matters
- Responding to consultation requests on council projects - capital infrastructure projects; reserves policy; long term plans and other strategies
- Responding to consultation requests on wide range of environmental projects and developments
- Building capacity and systems to strengthen Ngāti Rārua involvement in environmental management
- Supporting a variety of rūnanga and whānau projects
