Takina te tokotoko ko Ōtaki — hei ūkaipō mō Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki

About us

Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki (NHoŌ) is a collective (rōpū) that brings our people together — to support one another, to kōrero about what’s happening in Ōtaki, and to take action on the things that matter.

Established with the support of the Raukawa Marae Management Committee, we’ve grown into a strong, connected kaupapa that creates opportunities for whānau and hapū to:

  • work together towards our hopes and aspirations

  • build a thriving, vibrant community

  • care for our people, our reo, our whenua and our taiao for future generations, guided by tikanga Māori

We serve whānau who whakapapa to the five hapū of Ōtaki: Ngāti Koroki, Ngāti Maiōtaki, Ngāti Kapu, Ngāti Pare, and Ngāti Huia ki Katihiku.

Tō mātou aronga mō Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki

Our purpose is to unite and uplift Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki — bringing our whānau together to lead, grow and care for Ōtaki, guided by tikanga Māori; strengthening our people, protecting our whenua and taiao, and carrying our reo and tikanga into the future.
