Ngati Rarua Iwi Trust

Welcome to Ngāti Rarua Iwi Trust, nestled in the heart of Marlborough – a vibrant region rich with history and culture. Established in 1991, we are more than just a Maori Organisation; we are the embodiment of our ancestors' spirit, their resilience, and their unwavering connection to the land. As custodians of this beautiful region, we have always been committed to responsible land management, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. But our work goes beyond the physical; it encompasses the nurturing and safeguarding of our unique Maori culture. Through cultural programs, we celebrate our heritage and pass down stories, traditions, and values to our descendants. We are proud to offer various social programs designed to uplift our community, promoting unity, self-determination, and personal growth. These programs are tailored to meet the needs of our members, providing a safety net during challenging times and fostering an environment where dreams can be realized. At Ngāti Rarua Iwi Trust, we believe in the power of community and the importance of belonging. We invite all registered descendants to join us on this journey, to connect with their roots, and reap the benefits of being part of our collective. From exclusive access to events, resources, and opportunities, to the satisfaction that comes from contributing to the betterment of our people and our land, there is much to gain from becoming a member. In essence, Ngāti Rarua Iwi Trust is more than a trust; it's a family, a network, and a beacon of hope for the future. We are proud of who we are, where we come from, and where we are going. If you share our values and vision, we warmly invite you to join us on this incredible journey. He mihi maioha ki a koutou - welcome!
