Te Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi-O-Ngāpuhi has a simple vision – ‘kia tū tika ai te whare tapu o Ngāpuhi’ - ‘that the sacred house of Ngāpuhi stand firm’, to become a body that all Ngāpuhi can participate in and be proud of.

The Rūnanga is the representative body that speaks and works for Ngāpuhi – to make sure that our collective interests and aspirations are looked after. Knowing what these are means getting as many people participating as possible.

Participating in tribal elections is one way to be involved. The Marae you belong to determines which Takiwā you vote in. If you do not know your Marae or Takiwā we may be able to help you find it.

Strengthening the house of Ngāpuhi means improving the different layers and spheres that collectively make us who we are. The Rūnanga's role is to lead the cultural, social and economic growth of Ngāpuhi. In a changing world it’s a difficult but exciting task.
