Te Uru Taumatua manages Tūhoe Treaty Settlement assets and resources on behalf of Tūhoe beneficiaries. It also purports to represent and work on behalf of Tūhoe. It holds an AGM to inform Tuhoe on its achievements and the status of the assets that it administers.
Over the past five years, we have become more concerned that Tūhoe hapū have no influence on the decisions that are being made about their development; that the counsel and leadership of kaumātua is ignored; that Tūhoe representatives who’ve been appointed to various planning groups, subsidiaries or entities are only figure-heads; and that the Chairs of our Tribals have been unable to advocate our position.
Te Mana Motuhake o Tūhoe has become a dictatorship.
We, the undersigned, are Tūhoe and request
- A Review of the Tūhoe Trust Deed
- A Review of Te Uru Taumatua organisational structures
- An amendment to the Trust Deed to enable the appointment of an independent body to undertake a review.
If the Board of Te Uru Taumatua refuses our request, we support an application being made to the High Court to achieve the desired outcome.

Five hundred people have now stood up to demand accountability from Te Uru Taumatua. This dictatorship can no longer pretend that our whanau are content with being silenced while our assets are managed in the dark.

My kuia is Makere Wi Tahu, daughter of Mihikiteao from Ruatoki. I no longer support TUT because they are evil to Tuhoe they don't like. That's not fair. They are managing iwi assets, not personal assets. If they only distributed resources they like they would only help their close friends and family. Like I said that's not fair. I wholeheartedly support this position, so we can hold TUT to account. Too many broken promises.
Tautoko Te Kohinga and the kaupapa who stand for a lot of our Ngai Tuhoe iwi who have been ignored by the so called Tamati Krugers, Kirsty Lukes and only acknowledge and employ whanaus that bow down to them or tauiwi. The care and maintenance of Te Urewera has been ignored since TUT took over managing it. Wasting Iwi settlement money hiring short term casuals buildings moumou the iwis putea on vehicles, helicopter rides, staffing across the board of some very useless people. Time to boot them out as a collective moving forward
Power combined with money is and always will kotiti te whakaaro of those who think they have the right to do what they like.. a mass march of unity by Tuhoe uri opposed to autocratic leadership n to remove them from office is what's needed.
A review is important so everyone understands the hard work done at hapu level to grow our communities in our rohe for the future for our people and visitors.
tautoko. An independant review is abosutely necessary. The review process of each stage needs to also be made public (public meaning those who whakapapa / registered) given details of who and what is happening during this process.
Megalomaniac Leadership is not Leadership. They nothing but a brown replica of the crown. The oppressed is now the oppressor! They are so deluded by their own sense of grandeur they will never see that truth of the evil dictatorship that they are. They must be removed immediately!

Sounds like lots of people are unhappy. Best to justify your position and expenditure. Should the iwi even have to ask? Surely all information regarding iwi funds must be available and transparent...
