We share a deep and enduring relationship grounded in whakapapa, kaupapa Maaori, and a shared vision for our mokopuna. Rooted in generations of connection, our whaanau, kura, and marae have long stood together as pou of support, learning, and cultural strength.

The Taniwharau Rugby League Club, with its proud legacy of sporting excellence and whaanau development, stands as a Pou of community pride.

Our ties with Raahui Pookeka Waka Ama Club strengthen our relationship with the awa, promoting health, teamwork, and cultural revitalisation on the water.

As part of the wider iwi, we maintain an active relationship with Waikato-Tainui, upholding our collective responsibilities to our Iwi entity.

Within our own rohe, we continue to build economic and cultural resilience through our kaupapa-driven businesses, Kaakahuria and Hanga Whare, which support whaanau-led innovation and design rooted in tikanga Maaori.

Okeroa was opened in 2024 and offers an intimate birthing experience for our Whaanau. For further details please contact Sheryl Matenga at Ira Koopu.

Wai Mauri Health offers integrated holistic services within injury prevention, rehabilitation, massage therapy, and traditional Māori healing through Mirimiri Rongoaa using a Te Ao Maaori lens for recovery.

Tuuhono are our preferred Hauora provider and as they have stated they are “A strengths-based approach to Health for our community by our community” This Kaupapa Maaori Hauora is responsive to strengthening the health gaps of whaanau in our community.
