He Mihi
"Me Mihi ki tō tātau Kaihanga i te tuatahi, ka tika. Nāna nei ngā mea katoa. E ngā karanga maha, ngā manuhiri tuarangi, ngā waewae tapu, nau mai, haere mai.
Haere mai ki Tāmaki Herenga Waka. Mauria mai ō koutou tini mate, ā me herengia ki ngā mate o konei. Nā koutou i tangi, nā tātau katoa. Ka ea ai te kōrero, āpiti hono, tātai hono, ko rātau te hunga mate kia rātau.
Ko tātau te hunga ora kia tātau. Tihewā Mauri Ora."
Welcome
Ngati Whatua are an indigenous people of New Zealand. We are a hapu of the wider Ngati Whatua iwi located in and around the Tamaki isthmus and New Zealand's largest city, Auckland.
We have a rich history in Tamaki Makaurau dating back to the very beginnings of human Maori migration from Hawaiiki. We welcome those of you who are Ngati Whatua o Orakei, and encourage you to become familiar with your history and your culture. To those of you who are not Ngati Whatua o Orakei, we invite you to learn about us.
