Ngati Hineaute Hapu Authority

Nestled in the heart of Manawatu-Wanganui, Ngāti Hineaute Hapū Authority is more than just a Maori Organisation; we are a vibrant community, deeply rooted in our heritage and fiercely committed to the well-being of our people – our whānau. Established with a vision to uphold and strengthen our unique cultural identity, we have grown from humble beginnings into a beacon of Maori Trusts dedicated to fostering a thriving future for all Ngāti Hineaute members. Our story begins within the walls of our cherished Urban Marae and Community Hall – a place where the echoes of ancient traditions meet the laughter of children learning at our Kōhanga Reo. Here, early childhood education is not just about academics; it's about nurturing young minds in the warmth of our language, customs, and values. As we grow with our tamariki (children), so too does our commitment to community services. Through Whānau Ora Navigation and Wrap Around Services, we strive to empower our people to take control of their lives, offering holistic support that embraces the whole whānau. Our Community Marae Services extend beyond traditional practices, providing a wealth of resources: from Kuia and Kaumatua passing on their wisdom through Te Reo Māori classes, to Hauora clinics ensuring the health and well-being of our people is prioritized, and education initiatives that inspire learning across all ages. In these times, we understand that being a part of Ngāti Hineaute means more than just sharing a name; it's about belonging to a family that cherishes its past while building a brighter future. That's why our doors are always open – not only for the students who sit at our feet eager to learn, but also for those who seek connection, guidance, or support. So, whether you're a child learning their first steps in life or an elder sharing your wisdom, a member seeking assistance or simply someone curious about our culture, Ngāti Hineaute Hapū Authority welcomes you with open arms. We invite you to join us on this remarkable journey as we continue to weave the rich tapestry of our people, honouring our past, embracing our present, and striving for a prosperous future together.
