Te Korowai o Ngāruahine Trust (Te Korowai) is the Post Settlement Governance Entity established in 2013 as part of the Ngāruahine Settlement process. These six values were instilled at the inception of the Trust and have been retained as part of the long term strategy: 

Ngā Mātāpono - Values

Mahi ka tika | Transparency

Mahi pono | Trustworthiness

Manaakitanga | Sharing and caring

Māhakitanga | Respect and humility

Ngākaunui | Sound judgement

Hari me te koa | Fun and celebration

The Trust is tasked to work alongside the iwi, hapū and uri, to determine a pathway toward a positive and promising future for us now, and for generations still to come. 

Te Korowai draws its inspiration from the words of Ngāruahine rangatira, Tītkowaru, ‘E kore au e mate, ka mate ko te mate - I will not die, death itself will die before I perish’.

KA ORA TAKU TOA is our rallying cry, inspiring us to not only survive, but to flourish and thrive.

Tihei mauri ora!
