Ngāpuhi Come Together For The Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Te Rūnanga ā Iwi o Ngāpuhi is fast approaching, set for Saturday, 14th December 2024, at Te Mahinga, Ngāwha. This gathering offers an opportunity to reflect on a year marked by significant milestones and for whānau and hapū to plan collectively for the future.

Highlights of 2024:

Advocacy for Mokopuna: Ngāpuhi has taken a strong stand against the disproportionate number of our mokopuna in state care, with 827 as of April 2024. A hīkoi in Kaikohe on the 3rd of August and a gathering at Parliament on the 5th of August highlighted our commitment to whakapapa-based solutions and the well-being of our tamariki.

Āpiti Hono Tātai Hono Roadshow

Connecting to our whānau, especially those who no longer live in Taitokerau is a critical part of resetting our direction through listening to uri hopes and aspirations. Uri o Ngāpuhi across the motu, consistently raised a strong desire for more opportunities to connect as Ngāpuhi through enhanced engagement and communications and wananga with a focus on whanaungatanga and cultural revitalisation. Other key themes and ideas included: creating platforms for taitamariki involvement and voices, strengthened Governance and advocacy, leadership development, and investment in whānau and hapū.

Participation in National Hui:

Ngāpuhi's presence at significant national events, such as the Hui ā Motu in January and Waitangi commemorations in February, demonstrated our dedication to kotahitanga and active involvement/leadership in the national discourse.
