On 21 January 2025, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rēhia addressed a formal letter to Minister David Seymour, Prime Minister Rt. Hon Christopher Luxon, and Rt. Hon Winston Peters. This correspondence outlines our hapū’s position on significant legislative developments that impact Te Tīriti o Waitangi and Māori rights.
We believe in the importance of transparency and engaging with our community on issues that affect us all. As we approach Waitangi Day, it is crucial to reflect on the kaupapa of Te Tīriti o Waitangi and the ongoing need to protect its mana.
