Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa ngā whānau, ngā marae o NgāiTakoto.

The iwi of NgāiTakoto has grown significantly and come a long way since we undertook Treaty Settlement processes with the Crown in 1986.

We have achieved a great deal since that time through hard work and sheer determination to succeed and now we arrive at a point in that process, whereby the responsibility for managing and determining the NgāiTakoto future, and how that may be organised, is no longer the responsibility of the Crown, but now up to ourselves, as a people, and as a iwi.
