Te Whakaaetanga Trust is a hapū grouping of coastal hapū who exercise our hapū Rangatiratanga, our Ahikaatanga in Pēwhairangi, Te Moana Pikopiko i Whiti, Tokerau and Ī Pīpiri. We are Ngāti Kuta, Ngāti Manu me ngā hapū rīriki - Te Uri o Raewera and Te Uri Karaka, Ngāti Torehina ki Matakā and Patukeha. Ngā Hapū Te Whakaaetanga have two trustees each, elected according to Hapū tikanga.

Our primary objective is to enable hapū to enter into negotiations with the Crown to achieve redress/restitution for each hapū. Ngā Hapū Te Whakaaetanga will each receive and manage their own redress. Te Whakaaetanga Trust is merely the vehicle to achieve this outcome.
