🗣HE KARERE NŌ TE RŪNANGA O ŌTĀKOU🗣
Waitangi Day 2026 - Pānui from Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou
Karaka mai Waitangi
Karaka mai
Taki haruru ana te manu kōrero
Ka rere mai i Ōtākou ki Ōrongotea
Ka rere mai i te tai o Araiteuru ki te Hokianganui-a-Kupe
Tēnei te karaka o te whare o Tamatea ki kā kārehu o Tamatea
P**a noa i Te Waipounamu
Ko Akaroa, ko Ruapuke, ko Ōtākou kā tumu hereka waka ki Waitangi
Ko pūawhetia e kā hau wāwāhi whare i p**a i te waha o te ika
Aukaha, kia kaha!
Kia kotahi te reo, kia tapatahi te tū!
Ko te toa i a tini, i a mano!
Tēnā koutou
Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou has always taken great pride in hosting Kāi Tahu Waitangi Day commemorations, and this role reflects our long legacy of political leadership. This year will be a little different. Ōtākou will lead a Kāi Tahu ope to Waitangi, which means the usual Kāi Tahu commemoration in the takiwā will not take place.
Our intention is to go to Waitangi in the spirit of kotahitaka. Strengthening our ties with iwi in the north is an important part of honouring this moment. Given the current political climate, we believe it is vital that iwi stand together to ensure our collective voice remains strong.
Ōtākou has always carried the flame of political leadership, protest, whawhai, and wero, and this commitment continues to guide our decisions. We look forward to being part of the wider kaupapa at Waitangi and standing with iwi from across the motu in unity and shared purpose.
Although we will not be hosting an event at Ōtākou Marae this year, we encourage whānau to spend time together on 6 February. It’s also a chance to reflect on what brings us together and the strength that comes from standing as one.
Kā manaakitaka,
Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou
