Our Ngāti Porou landscapes aren’t just beautiful landscapes, they are cultural landscapes with the mana and whakapapa of our hapu. Whether it is our maunga tapu, Hikurangi, or the Waiapu River from which the proverb "Waiapu kōkā huhua" flows and speaks to the fierce leadership of our women. Ultimately it's the Ngāti Porou people that makes the place special. Ngāti Porou people who are tenacious, have a history of service, are creative and strategic with a unique sense of humour.
