Mandate Results are in!
Kia ora e te whanau,
Ngati Kuta Has Spoken!
96.44% of Ngati Kuta have voted “Ae / Agree”
Since March, we’ve been very busy meeting whanau across Aotearoa and worldwide to share our Mandating Information and to help you register and cast your vote.
It has been an incredible time, meeting whanau and connecting you with information during this important step in our Land Claim journey. We are overwhelmed that so many of you engaged in our process and spoke up for you and your whanau. Rawe!
We have produced a report that articulates the robust process that we delivered between the 9th March and 12th May 2024. You can download it from our website www.ngatikuta.maori.nz
We have one more hurdle to finalise a mandate! The Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations is yet to decide if he will recognise a Mandate for Te Whakaaetanga Trust to enter negotiations. He must also consider the results of Ngati Manu, Patukeha and Ngati Torehina ki Matakaa. We will be working with his office, Te Arawhiti, over the coming months to prepare documents for the Minister and we hope to have a decision from the Minister late 2024 or early 2025. We hope to receive a positive outcome!
Stay tuned over the coming months as we’ll be sharing more important information with you via email and our Ngati Kuta Facebook group. As always, if you have any patai, make sure you reach out to our team ngatikutahapu@gmail.com
Thank you for stepping up and making your voice count! Stay in touch and join our regular hapu hui.
