NgatiHine Launch

On Tuesday 28th of October 2008, Te Runanga o NgatiHine launched 3 very important Iwi intiatives at Kawiti Marae in Waiomio :

* Te Pae Tawhiti – the Ngāti Hine Strategic intent document

* The Ngāti Hine Iwi Environmental Management Plan

* The new Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Hine website

The venue has been chosen because the launch is about ‘strategy’. Our tupuna Kawiti was a brilliant ‘strategist’ and hence the choice of the Kawiti marae. The 28th of October is significant because it was the day that Kawiti signed Te Whakaputanga o Niu Tireni or the Declaration of Independence in 1835.

The Powhiri will start at 10am, Nau Mai Haere Mai.
