Te Rarawa area of interest

  • For the historical Treaty claims negotiations, the area of interest used was that which is shown on the map below.
  • This area of interest considers other iwi and the dynamic circumstances that occurred between
    1840 and 2011. 
  • The area of interest shown on the map does not represent Te Rarawa mana whenua in 1840, as
    Te Rarawa had many other interests and associations to the north, east and south which are not included.
  • Te Rarawa maintains broader interests and associations based on whakapapa and history.
  • Te Rarawa's Iwi Narrative outlines the context for Te Rarawa interests.
