Ko wai mātou? Who are we?
Mahaanui Kurataiao is a resource and environmental management advisory organisation, established in 2007 by six local Papatipu Rūnanga. We work to uphold and enhance mana whenua values across our takiwā, providing guidance and expertise that recognises and protects the cultural and environmental interests of our people and whenua.
