Rohe
Our Region
Tihei Takitimu
The map below shows some of the natural features of our rohe that whānau and hapū belong to. Such as the maunga and water-bodies (awa, lakes) that we identify with and that have sustained us both physically and spiritually — from the times of our tīpuna to now. These natural features are integral to our being and our hauora.
The geographical boundary for the Tihei Takitimu Partnership Board covers areas within the tribal boundaries of Ngāti Kahungunu (Heretaunga, Tamatea, Te Wairoa, Te Whanganui-a-Orotū), Ngāti Rakaipaaka, Ngāti Pāhauwera, Ngāti Hineuru, Mana Ahuriri and Maungaharuru-Tangitū Hapū. In this region there are kinship ties to the Takitimu, Kurahaupō and Mataatua waka.
