Our logo was developed by Simon Te Wheoro approximately six years ago for our Runanga. The top of the logo is Mauao (brown/orange) and the white and the bottom (green) is the Moana. The four white triangle shapes depict our four hapu of Ngati Kahu, Rangi, Pango and Motai. The Awa (river) is the wavy design in the middle.

Tēnā koutou and welcome to Te Runanga o Ngati Kahu

Mission Statement

In all our activities we seek to realize our vision, achieve our mission and encourage our identified values. Our mission is to promote and encourage the social, cultural and economic advancement of the Ngati Kahu hapu.

Vision

Our aim is to reclaim our tino rangatiratanga. We will achieve this by establishing the Runanga as a recognized and trusted vehicle for Ngati Kahu decision-making processes and for the custodianship of the Ngati Kahu collective resources.

We acknowledge the importance of:

Highly skilled personnel and board members proud to be involved in the Ngati Kahu Runanga

Efficient use of resources.

The vision expresses a future where the hopes and expectations of the hapu are realized.
