Established in 2020, Te Pae Roa is a tikanga Māori support system and investment connector in Te Tai Tokerau. We create space for whānau to confidently access tools and resources that will enhance their capability and capacity while also allowing investors to see the potential in our rohe.

Our key focus is kaupapa Māori that are driven to uplift their place and people through partnerships and investments.

Ko mātou tēnei
About us

Ngā oha a Te Pae Roa

Our vision is…

“Te Tino Rangatiratanga o ō mātou taonga katoa hei oranga mō tātou.”

“To be free to be kaitiaki of our taonga and whakapapa in our own way, for all.”

We believe for Te Tai Tokerau to be prosperous, it must be led by Te Hau o te Kāinga – through the voice of whānau. Listening to this voice enables us to better support whānau to express their Rangatiratanga.

Guided by Te Pae Roa values of TIKA, PONO and AROHA, we create a space for everyone to see the prosperous potential of Te Tai Tokerau.

Kaupapa
Projects

 

We support whānau, hapū, iwi and pakihi who promote sustainable relationships with their people and Papatūānuku. We help to establish and scale kaupapa in a way that achieves impact for them and investors.

We are proud kaitautoko (capacity partners) for the kaupapa and leaders we serve.

Through these kaupapa we aim to raise the consciousness of investors by providing insight on how to share space and invest in 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).

Kaupapa Māori Support

Find out how we can help you.

Our uniqueness comes from being the first tikanga led investment connector and support system to come out of Te Tai Tokerau. Tikanga allows us to put whakapapa and whānau first, always. We know the self determined prosperity of whānau is more important than pūtea. We also know that to become prosperous, we need the support of key investors, who share the vision of prosperity for Te Tai Tokerau.

Kaupapa Māori Support

We have a cupboard of resources made up of business knowledge and expertise that has dedicated project support for kaupapa Māori.

We seek to connect whānau with the right investors who care about relationships as well as return.

These are partners who want to make a difference in the rohe and invest in whānau opportunity for whānau success.

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.
