Te Arawa Lakes Trust
Mā Te Arawa | For Te Arawa
Te Arawa Lakes Trust is our legacy iwi-entity, established to represent the interests of Te Arawa hapū and whānau in relation to the Te Arawa Lakes Settlement 2006 – interlocking our unique intergenerational relationship with our 14 freshwater lakes and taonga species like kōura, tuna, kākahi, inanga, kōaro and morihana.
Rēhita / Register
Strengthen your connection. Shape our future.
If you whakapapa to one or more of the 56 hapū represented by Te Arawa Lakes Trust, you and your whānau are encouraged to register as beneficiaries. Registration keeps you connected through important updates, hui, and opportunities to have your say in the Trust’s direction. You’ll also be eligible to vote in elections (if 18+), receive fishing licences, and access other benefits. It’s easy to register online, and you can include your tamariki too. Help us by encouraging others to register and by keeping your whānau details up to date.
