Taku Manu Korihi Ata

Te Tāwharau o Ngāti Pūkenga Newsletter

Te Tāwharau o Ngāti Pūkenga are looking at the best ways to keep you informed of all that is happening in the iwi. 

Taku Manu Korihi Ata will come out to you twice a year and we would like to know how you would like to receive it.  At the moment we post the panui to the households of whanau who are registered on the iwi register.  Ideally we would like to send the panui by email and circulate it on our social media networks reducing the number that go out by snail mail.  Below is a link to a response form so you can let us know how to send the panui to you.

See below for the December issue of the panui.

Have a safe festive season and we will see you in the New Year.
