Kei ngā uri katoa o Te Atiawa nō runga i te rangi, tēnā rawa atu koutou katoa.

In this edition of Hauwhenua we congratulate our Te Atiawa league teams, our first cohort for Tātai Tāngata ki te Whenua, and encourage you to join us for our upcoming AGM. We have a new 'Mātauranga' section on our website, as well as recordings of recent hui you can watch, and share two updates on the North Egmont Visitor Centre and Taranaki Tū Mai. We also have an exciting Te Hononga offering to welcome our Te Atiawa pēpi.
If you have any queries, we invite you to contact us and for up-to-date information, remember to check our website and 'Like' our Facebook page.  

Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei!

It was a big weekend of iwi rugby league recently. Our Te Atiawa Tāne team regained their Championship title for the second year in a row and won the haka competition. Our Te Atiawa wāhine made the finals, losing to our Ngaa Rauru whanaunga. Kei runga noa atu koutou!
Congratulations also to all who made the tournament teams, and to Allana Prestney who received the Michael Katene Special Service Taonga.
Te Kotahitanga are proud to support our Te Atiawa league teams again at this years tournament. This is made possible through our Te Hononga Grants.
A big mihi to Ngaa Rauru for hosting the tournament, and to the Taranaki Whānui Rugby League committee for running another successful tournament. Next year the tournament will be hosted by Ngāti Maru.

Our first ā-kanohi Tātai Tangata ki te Whenua wānanga was held recently with many of our full cohort of 20 whānau learning from our whanaunga Pounamu Skelton (Te Atiawa, Taranaki) at Te Rau o Rongo.

The session was hands-on and covered a number of māra topics including:

• Hua Parakore tikanga māra
• Seed Sowing
• Seed transplanting
• No dig gardens
• Mulching pathways

Kei ngā toki mārama, tēnā koutou, hei kupu tātaki māku me pēnei Tū mai Taranaki e, tiketike mai rā tātou, tihei mauri ora. 

Earlier this year Te Kotahitanga o Te Atiawa took over the project management of the upcoming redevelopment of the North Egmont Visitor Centre. We are pleased to inform you about an important milestone in the development that holds significant value for Te Atiawa.

This upcoming redevelopment is about to be publicly notified through the Department of Conservation (‘DOC’) Concession process, as we seek the relevant permissions necessary to enable this development. We wanted to let our Te Atiawa whānau know first, before it is publicly notified.

We have brought some of our Te Atiawa historical kōrero and digital resources together and created a new 'Mātauranga' section accessible on the front page of our website.

We have eight different webpages which share information on our Te Atiawa history and the tribal history of Taranaki, watch our Taranaki Mounga webinar series, access our downloadable digital resources, watch videos of Te Atiawa Waiata and Poi Manu, learn karakia, and watch Radio NZ docuseries' on NZ Wars: Stories of Waitara.

Last month Te Kotahitanga held two online hui to provide updates and gather feedback on two important kaupapa. We recorded both hui which you can also watch.

Te Kotahitanga Online Hui-a-iwi - Our Chair Liana Poutu provided an update on our activities over the last six months and how they align with our Strategic Plan - Te Atatū.

North Taranaki Visitors Centre Online Wānanga - The planning for the North Taranaki Visitor Centre rebuild is well underway. In this online wānanga our project team shared the project's design and progress. Thanks to all who provided valuable feedback during this wānanga which can be incorporated into the design.

To ensure we can continue to contact you, it's important we have your current contact details.
