Mihimihi
E nga mana e nga reo e rau rangatira ma o nga nohonga tapu o tena marae
o tena marae i roto i te takiwa o Ngati Ranginui whanui tenei te mihi atu kia
koutou katoa tena koutou tena koutou tena tatou katoa.
Ka tika me mihi aroha atu ki te tini te mano kua huri i tua o paerau i runga i

In presenting this review of our 2020 Vision – Strategic Plan - we firstly
acknowledge the initiative and challenge taken by the authors of that plan for
their vision dreams and commitment in preparing a pathway forward for Ngati
Ranginui Iwi into the future. Your runanga recognizes the importance of having that strategic
directional plan as a baseline that we can measure our progress to date against.
In undertaking the review we recognize in our society today that we can be impacted in ways that
are beyond our control that affect our desired pathway forward. Our ‘taonga tuku iho katoa’ are
under constant threat in todays world and we must all be diligent in accepting our responsibility
to ensure their survival for our future generations.
It is our determination as your runanga to develop a forward looking think big picture culture at
the runanga table that will enable us to lead our Iwi to their full potential with confidence. We
need to do this together your commitment is to ensure that your representative at the table has
your total support and endorsement. In presenting this review we would welcome your ongoing
support and encouragement.

Ko wai matou Who are we?
Ngati Ranginui Tradition
Ngati Ranginui are the descendants of ancestors who lived and settled Tauranga in the
Bay of Plenty hundreds of years ago. Our ancestor Tamatea Arikinui conducted the
rituals and ceremonies of arrival at Mauao. From that time till now we have shared a
special relationship with our ancestral mountain. Over many generations these ancestors
and their descendants established villages, fortifications, burial grounds, fishing areas
and forest harvesting places. These lands and waters have been confiscated following
the land wars in 1865. Today the tribal groups only retain a fraction of their once vast
estates. We express our relationships with our ancestral lands by maintaining marae,
retaining remnant reserves and keeping the identity and customary rights and practises
alive.
Many of Ngati Ranginui descendants have moved to other districts and some overseas.
This provides challenges to families and kin groups to retain their identity and pass on
the knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors.
Ngati Ranginui Iwi Inc.
Ngati Ranginui Iwi Incorporated Society is an indigenous tribal organisation that provides
portfolio services to its members of the tribe and beyond. Its core business is managing
fishing assets, health and social services, administration support and representation.
Thy have been in operation since 1990. During this time the organisation has grown to
a point where it employs some 19 fulltime and 70 part-time staff, has a turnover of $3.3
million and provides benefits to Ngati Ranginui people in scholarships, health and social
services and investment.
The members of the society are tribal individuals who can claim descent from the
eponymous ancestor of the tribe, Ranginui, and affiliate to one of the 7 hapu of Ngati
Ranginui. The iwi has 10 marae, traditional ceremonial centres, which provide facilities
for funerals, celebrations, community meetings and learning forums. There are currently
more than 2500 members of Ngati Ranginui Iwi Inc. and growing.
Since establishment Ngati Ranginui Iwi Inc. Society has been involved in the delivery of
a variety of Health & Social Services activities. And in the more recent years the Society
has taken on the responsibility of representing Ngati Ranginui Iwi in a variety of forums
as well as managing the Iwi’s Fisheries Assets.

Kaupapa - Mission
The core business of Ngati Ranginui Iwi Inc. is the management and development of Iwi
assets, delivery of high quality health and social services, and promoting cultural identity.
The Society wishes to develop in the areas of contract brokering and facilitation, product
and service marketing. The Iwi will do this by being a leader, advocate, promoter and
collaborative partner with others who share similar vision and strategic outcomes.
The other business of the Society includes supporting initiatives in housing and land
development, advocacy, and tertiary education.
Trends and Strategic Issues
Local
One of the most immediate trends in Tauranga is the high rate of growth, this manifesting
as urbanisation of rural lands, intensification of existing urban areas, increase in new
residents creating a multi-cultural community. There has been a corresponding decline
in agriculture/horticulture activities, driven by sale of productive land and land valuation
increases. The increased pressure on infrastructure has necessitated growth strategies
and major spending. The availability and affordability of quality housing is an increasing
challenge for our people.
The wide and diverse governance arrangements for Ngati Ranginui Iwi, hapu and marae
has spread leadership thinly and put pressure on skilled and experienced leaders. One
of the most important milestones is a new governance entity that will be established
following settlement of Treaty of Waitangi claims. This entity will effectively conduct the
business of Ngati Ranginui, similar to many other such entities around the country.
Individual members have higher expectations of professionalism, leadership and
relevance of business.
National
Changes in legislation and policy are major drivers of influence on the business of Ngati
Ranginui. Changes in the political climate, through changes of Government and policy
can have both positive and negative impacts.
The completion of major Treaty settlements around Aotearoa will provide greater
capability and capacity to progress a greater role in natural resource allocation and
management.
-9-
Collaborative relationship/partnership with other iwi will be key to realising objectives.
We are now in the Communication and Information Age. Technology will be a key
component to realising effective relationships with our members.
The threat of natural hazards such as coastal erosion, flooding, earthquakes and tsunami
have a greater profile due to international and national events.
International
International conflict as a result of political, religious, economic and ethnic tension have
impacts on Ngati Ranginui from the availability and cost of goods and services to the
need to engage in conflict resolution.
Natural resource allocation and management, climate change, carbon dioxide emissions,
closer economic relations with Australia, single currency, and commercialisation of
Intellectual Property Rights
There are still opportunities to have enduring relationships with other indigenous groups
who can share stories and wisdom.
The contemporary relevance and indirect relationships with the Crown (England) may
influence the development of a national constitution which could undermine Treaty
rights and principles.
Nga Uaratanga Ngakau - Core values
Your runanga will demonstrate being professional by having transparent and open
processes, be accountable to our stakeholders, deliver and fulfil obligations and
services on time, be committed to excellence, be hardworking to protect unity at
the runanga table and beyond and dedicated to lead by example. The runanga will
represent you at central local government and other external forums that will enhance
our iwi image positively.
- 10 -
Your runanga will demonstrate communication by clearly stating the facts accurately,
ensuring that we have all the relevant information, speak with the appropriate people,
honour confidentiality, own what we say – especially our mistakes, listen to and
respect other speakers views and respect your Marae view through your delegates.
Your runanga will demonstrate whanaungatanga by ensuring win/win outcomes, build
trust based on respect and integrity, promote kaitiakitanga to value and protect your
assets, treasure all Ngati Ranginui whakapapa, acknowledge and treat our koroua and
kuia with dignity, protect and guide our tamariki mokopuna into a brighter future.
Your runanga will express aroha by caring and empathising in your times of need
and celebration, respect your rights as an individual, expressing a rangimarie and
humarie attitude, appreciate your individual wairua, pono to all our values, whakapono
respecting all faiths within our iwi, and tika to who we are as an iwi.

Nga Paenga - Strategic Outcomes & Objectives
Kia mau ki nga tikanga Ranginui – Cultural Identity
Te Reo Maori is the traditional language of indigenous New Zealanders. Ngati Ranginui
supports the revitalization of the Maori language. The staff should be comfortable in
using te reo Maori in day to day operations of the runanga. The Society has supported
and assisted its marae, hapu to complete their goals and objectives for the revitalization
of te reo Maori.
Nga Waiata are the songs, chants and haka of Ngati Ranginui. We want to hear the
waiata on marae and cultural performances. We want to ensure that there is access to
our traditional waiata and opportunities to create new ones.
Tikanga and kawa are the customs, protocols, and ways of doing things that pertain to
our distinct people. We will be able to articulate our tikanga to others and practice our
kawa. We will find ways to communicate our tikanga and kawa to the next generation
of leaders.
Whakapapa is the genealogy of our Ranginui ancestors and descendants. The history
of our people stretches for hundreds of years and continues to be created each day.
Our history and tradition shows us how we started and how far we have come to this
point. Iwi members can communicate clearly their waka, iwi, hapu and marae and have
an understanding of basic Whakapapa.
Toi Maori is our art forms such as whakairo (carving) and raranga (weaving). Ngati
Ranginui Iwi Inc. will ensure the preservation of relevant and excellent examples of
traditional Ranginui art for future generations. We will know who our artists are and
promote their work.
Nga rarangi ingoa is our registration. This is the network of people that can be kept
up to date on those matters above. Our objectives is to have 70% of our members
registered with the Inc. Our members will be informed regarding their cultural identity.
Our Ngati Ranginui whakatauki identifies Mauao as our ancestral mountain, Tauranga
Moana as our ancestral sea and Takitimu as our ancestral waka. There are places
of traditional and cultural significance to Ngati Ranginui by association with specific
primary ancestors. These places will be preserved and protected for future generations.
These iconic cultural assets will be revered where ever possible verbally, in written
communication and our role as kaitiaki in the ownership and/or management of these
taonga.
Our taonga (treasures) are held in institutions all over the world and throughout Aotearoa.
We will actively seek the return of these taonga to Tauranga and maintain relationships
with these taonga.
- 14 -
Kia tu te mana o Ngati Ranginui – Economic prosperity
The Treaty of Waitangi settlements represent the most significant opportunity to
build an economic base for the future. The Iwi has invested in this area and has a
vested interest for the successful achievement of Ngati Ranginui settlement.
Our Fisheries portfolio is our most lucrative economic activity. Recent legislation will
see the return of more than $3.5 million worth of assets (cash, shares & quota). These
assets must be protected, grown and provide tangible benefits to the iwi.
Ngati Ranginui has had a reputation for leading in health and social service delivery.
This area of work has become increasingly competitive and requires high standards of
delivery. Ngati Ranginui will work towards achieving specialist services and respond to
new opportunities.
Business Development opportunities may exist as an extension of our core business.
These areas are fisheries, health and social services, our networks and asset management.
Ngati Ranginui should also network with other organisations and regional programmes
to promote and advocate business opportunities for Ngati Ranginui members. Ngati
Ranginui needs to ensure that business areas are supported by appropriate and effective
structures.
Medium and long term investment of our surpluses will ensure maximizing the
benefits of our principal.
- 15 -
Te Ha o te Iwi – Social well-being
Ngati Ranginui acknowledges that many government agencies are responsible for
providing health, education, recreation and leisure services and activities. Ngati Ranginui
will work collaboratively with these agencies to ensure Ranginui members are getting
the full benefits of high quality services. This will involve promoting Maori capacity and
capability building in partner organisations.
The iwi will further develop prevention and education services, influence decision
makers. The housing of our whanau is a key indicator of social well-being. The iwi will be an
advocate for the development of papakainga through NGO’s and relationships with
central and local government agencies.
- 16 -
Rangatiratanga - Leadership
Ngati Ranginui will be seen to leading the business of the iwi. The iwi will be responsive
to national, regional and local political issues and trends.
Through strategic relationships and effective participation the iwi will influence decision
making that affects our business.
Ngati Ranginui staff will be industry leaders and in turn provide training to others.
Deep and wide networks will be used to maximize opportunities of the members and
the Society.
Technology will be used to improve services and increase productivity.
Future leaders will be identified and supported through scholarship, secondment and
representation.
Ngati Ranginui members wish to see the organisation in new premises that reflect the
cultural identity of the iwi.
