About us

Ngā oha a Te Pae Roa

Te Pae Roa emerged from a workstream of the Amokura Consortium – a collective of iwi leaders, who developed a visionary tikanga framework focused on uplifting people, accountability to Papatūānuku, and cultivating intergenerational economic well-being. This framework remains an inspiration as Te Pae Roa evolved alongside the leadership and whānau we serve.

Since 2020, Te Pae Roa has supported over 100 leaders across 20 strategic projects, helping to secure over $100 million in funding and investment. Now, the focus shifts to the next phase – expanding our support for leaders who are preparing for  opportunities that enable them to lead their whānau toward mana motuhake.

We equip leaders with the skills, credibility, and connections to build sustainable enterprises that uplift their communities. We are committed to opening up new investment pathways and partnerships, where tikanga is increasingly valued in the market. With deep knowledge of the regional context and a network of purpose-driven experts, we harness tūpuna wisdom and mokopuna aspirations to amplify long-term solutions led by Te Tai Tokerau Māori.

Wai 262

The Wai 262 claim is known as the aroha claim, the wairua claim, or the mother of all claims, heoi, it is the claim of Māori control over things Māori.

The claim essentially seeks to restore “tino rangatiratanga” of taonga through the whānau, hapū and iwi of Aotearoa. Laid against the Waitangi Tribunal on 9 October 1991 by six visionary claimants: Del Wihongi (Te Rarawa); Haana (Saana) Murray (Ngāti Kuri); John Hippolite (Ngāti Koata); Tama Poata (Te Whānau-a-Ruataupare, Ngāti Porou); Kataraina Rimene (Ngāti Kahungunu); and Witi McMath (Ngāti Wai), with the assistance of lawyer Moana Jackson (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Porou).

TĒNĀ TUKUNA MAI - INVEST WITH US

Our  relationship with impact investors and philanthropy began with a Core Four – The Tindall Foundation, Foundation North, Todd Foundation and JR McKenzie – who remain in support of the kaupapa.  

The Core Four bravely undertook a new approach to investment, alongside of  us.  They chose to focus on the value of the relationship rather than just putea and its returns.  

Philanthropic and impact investors considering how to better engage with Māori to ensure greater access to capital, now have a new opportunity with Te Pae Roa.

Not only sharing spaces, but sharing networks and building on relationships.

Te Pae Roa was born out of iwi thought leadership and has been bought to life in the past two years by a group of Te Tai Tokerau uri with the support of philanthropic and impact investment partners.

Te Pae Roa began its life as a programme of work within the Amokura Iwi Consortium (seven Te Tai Tokerau iwi – Ngāti Whātua, Ngātiwai,Ngāpuhi, Whaingaroa, Te Rarawa, Ngāi Takoto and Te Aupōuri). 

Te Pae Roa is now a stand alone kaupapa built firmly on these foundations and the region’s first Māori economic development research: He Tangata, He Whenua, He Oranga. 

We pay tribute to the iwi leadership, foresight and the pathway they paved for us to forge ahead as Te Pae Roa.
