Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei is a thriving hapū (tribal group) with significant cultural, economic, environmental and political interests in this city.
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei aspires to lead in our local communities, in Tāmaki, and globally. We seek to ensure our well-being surpasses national standards, ensuring meaningful mana motuhake (self-determination and authority).

Kia rere te kāhu pōkere ki ngā taumata tiketike
Soar and fly to the highest heights like the hawk
Did you know?
The kāhu pōkere refers to the black harrier hawk, a central figure on the front of our whare tupuna (ancestral house), Tumutumuwhenua. The hawk symbolises care, connection and oversight.
