E rere e te Hauwhenua, ki te Iho tū, ki te Iho Whenua, ki te Iho tangata nā Rongoueroa
Tēnā, ka whai tapuwae, tēnā ka whai taumata,
Tēnā, ka whai i te ia o te hau ki te kawe i ngā rongo kōrero o te wā ki tō tātou maunga nui e tū mai nei...Uea! uea te pou o te whare, kia tū tangatanga, he kapua whakairi ki runga ō Papatūānuku,
Te Kiri e te iwi ka tokia e te anu, e te iwi ee, nau mai e waha ki taku tua!

Welcome to this month's Te Hauwhenua, the monthly Pānui for Te Kotahitanga o Te Atiawa. The past month has been a productive one with Te Rā o Māui Pōmare moving online and Te Atiawa Iwi Holdings LP preparing to release to the market the first subdivision for registered iwi members.

After six years Te Kotahitanga Pouwhakahaere Hemi Sundgren will be leaving for a new role at Tourism NZ. Hemi has been instrumental in establishing strategic partnerships through the crucial establishment period of Te Kotahitanga. There will be more updates over the coming months and you can read the full release below.

Te Kotahitanga is pleased to announce this year's Education Grant recipients who cover a range of courses. We will also be sharing individual profiles over the next few weeks.

We have a number of kaupapa coming up over the next few weeks and further information about these are included below. For up to date information remember to check our website and 'Like' our Facebook page.

Pouwhakahaere/Chief Executive of Te Kotahitanga o Te Atiawa, Hemi Sundgren, will be leaving the iwi organisation after six years of service through its crucial establishment period.

“Hemi is highly regarded by the Board as an accomplished iwi leader who acts with humility and the highest level of integrity – a real taonga.  He has immense capability and will be difficult to replace but he goes with our utmost gratitude and tautoko”, said Te Kotahitanga o Te Atiawa Trust Pouwhakarae/Chair, Liana Poutu.

Hemi joined the Trust in 2014 as Transition Manager and steered the iwi through the establishment phase of the Post-Settlement Governance Entity.  In 2016, Hemi was appointed as Pouwhakahaere/Chief Executive and has been instrumental in establishing strategic partnerships and working closely with the commercial company to optimise property and settlement rights to ensure a structurally and financially stable foundation for Te Atiawa.
