Te Runaka O Kati Waewae Inc

Nestled on the resilient and beautiful West Coast, Te Runaka O Kati Waewae Inc has stood tall for generations, embodying the spirit of Ngāti Waewae and upholding their rich cultural heritage. As a Maori Organisation, we are deeply rooted in our Iwi estates, and our asset administration serves as a beacon of pride and unity within our community. With a profound commitment to representation, we work tirelessly to ensure the voices of our people are heard both locally and nationally, promoting open dialogue and Iwi engagement and consultation. Our team is dedicated to fostering relationships that transcend traditional boundaries, allowing us to adapt and grow alongside our community's needs. Our Marae serves as a heartbeat for our organisation, providing a sacred space where culture is preserved, knowledge shared, and connections strengthened. Beyond the spiritual significance of our Marae, it also offers a unique venue for events, gatherings, and celebrations - welcoming all who seek to learn, grow, and connect with our people and our land. We are more than just an organisation; we are a family, bound by shared histories, traditions, and aspirations. Our commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, empowering students of all ages to embrace their heritage and cultivate a strong sense of identity. We also champion the voices of women within our community, fostering equal opportunities and promoting gender equity in all that we do. As we look towards the future, Te Runaka O Kati Waewae Inc remains steadfast in our mission to preserve and enhance the wellbeing of our Iwi. With open arms, we welcome newcomers and old friends alike, inviting you to join us on this journey as we continue to build a brighter tomorrow for Ngāti Waewae and all who call the West Coast home.
