MANAWA
WHENUA

The heartbeat of our people

Manawa Whenua is a virtual platform created to connect whānau of Ngāi Tai and Whakatōhea to their whenua and to each other.

Here, you can access trusted information and resources about your Māori Land Trusts — all in one place.

​

Through our Members Only Area, registered owners can securely view Trust files, historical records, annual reports, and strategic plans, as well as stay informed about upcoming Annual General Meetings and trustee updates.

​

Manawa Whenua also provides help and guidance for managing Māori land shares, with tools, templates, and tips to support owners, whānau, and trustees to navigate the responsibilities of kaitiakitanga with confidence.

​

Rooted in whakapapa, this digital space honours our ancestors while empowering the next generation to protect, grow, and sustain the legacy of our lands.

Together, we strengthen the heartbeat of our people — the manawa of our whenua.
