Ngāti Apakura is a distinct iwi of the Waikato and Waipa districts, with ancestral connections extending from Rangiaowhia and the Waipā region to Kāwhia — a place of deep spiritual and historical significance for our people. Our identity is shaped by the strength of our whakapapa, the richness of our tikanga, and the enduring legacy of resilience.
The Apakura Rūnanga Trust was established to advance the collective interests and wellbeing of Ngāti Apakura.
