Waikato Raupatu River Trust

General information

This is the official Facebook page for Waikato-Tainui, the tribal organisation representing the interests of Waikato iwi, hapuu, marae and tangata. The iwi has a membership of approximately 65,000 descendants based throughout Aotearoa and overseas.

As a tribal entity we aim to empower our people by providing a range of programmes and opportunities including grants and scholarships, education and health programmes, employment and training, cultural initiatives and marae development assistance.

Our vision is that our people are committed to the Kiingitanga, fluent in te reo Maaori, strong in tikanga Maaori, and are well-educated and financially secure.
