Access Your Whakapapa

In collaboration with our whanaunga, Jeremy Bank of Plink Software (based in Nelson), Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rārua is developing our own specialised Ngāti Rārua whakapapa tool called Te Ao Hunga. This tool will enable you to:

• Research your own geneology
• Contribute to the wider geneology

Communications Project

As part of our Hononga social strategy, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rārua engaged our whanaunga Challen Wilson & Mona-Pauline Mangakāhia from The Sister Consultancy (based in Auckland & Wellington) to develop our integrated communications strategy and toolkit. They worked alongside, whanaunga, Kingi Gilbert from Ignite Studios (based in Auckland & Hawai'i) to develop the new website. The strategy is multi-tiered and has been working on connecting with whānau to understand their aspirations. From the months of February through to October much work has been acheived, such as:

• Interviews have been captured with the Trustees
• Research has been conducted, analysed and reported on
• Whanaungatanga events have been run in Motueka, Blenheim & Auckland
• Website has been upgraded
• Social media has become more active
• A communications toolkit has been developed to support effective communications
