Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu currently holds 88 governance positions on the boards of external organisations. These roles are specifically set aside in the Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998 to benefit Ngāi Tahu Whānui and to give effect to our aspirations. They represent an important mechanism to maintain our cultural identity and ensure our voice is heard across the motu.
Appointees are nominated by Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga and selected by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu for an average term of three years.
To be notified about upcoming appointments please register on Te Pou Here and under Areas of Interest select Representing Ngāi Tahu on External Board.
It was a real privilege to be selected as the Ngāi Tahu representative on the North Canterbury Fish and Game Council. To have an opportunity to help promote Ngāi Tahu values and aspirations within the relationship with Fish and Game allows me to develop governance and relationship management skills within a kaupapa I am passionate about. The support I have received has been fantastic, and the formal training offered has definitely given me tools to do the task justice.
