We are Ngāti Kearoa Ngāti Tuara of Te Arawa. We celebrate our whakapapa from our tupuna Kearoa and Tuara and the legacy that our tupuna have left us.
Our traditional rohe extends from Horohoro to Tihiotonga, Pukehāngi Tarewa, and Patetere. We continue our strong connection to our whenua and to our whānau, hapū and iwi.
On 4 June 2022 the Rotorua Museum Te Whare Taonga brought our taonga (Horoirangi and 3 toki) to Kearoa Marae.
Horoirangi is an atua wahine, a revered kaitiaki of Ngāti Kearoa Ngāti Tuara. Her care ensured the fertility and protection of the lands around the ancient pa Te Whetengu, at Tihi-o-Tonga.
