Te Rangimaheu Te Heuheu Tukino IX succeeds his father as Te Ariki o Ngati Tuwharetoa

30/09/2025

We pay tribute to Tā Tumu Te Heuheu Tukino VIII laid to rest on Monday. A quiet and humble, yet fierce leader, a statesman and absolute gentleman. Tā Tumu lead out on many kaupapa of significance within Ngati Tuwharetoa but also nationally and internationally such as Federation of Maori Authorities, Iwi Leaders, The World Heritage Foundation, the return of cultural and commercial lands to Ngati Tuwharetoa that had been taken by the Crown, and more. Most recently he has taken on the crown for the return of our Maunga back to Ngati Tuwharetoa. You will be missed, e te Ariki, moe mai rā

Tuwharetoa IMPB Chair on changes to health system

“We will no longer be tasked with local service design and delivery. Instead, our job will be to ‘engage’ and ’advise’. These changes take us from active partners to passive recipients.” — Louisa Wall on changes to Pae Ora law.
