The Hub recognises Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the founding document of Aotearoa (NZ) and Te Kawerau ā Maki as mana whenua of our area.

We will acknowledge this by using original Māori place names wherever we can, using Te Reo Māori appropriately, including karakia in meetings, and fostering a close reciprocal relationship with Te Kawerau ā Maki (including seeking input, guidance and meaningful engagement with them).
