Patuharakeke are a composite hapu descended from most major iwi groups in the north. These include Ngati Wai, Ngapuhi nui tonu, Ngati Whatua and Te Uri o Hau. We affiliate to a very large number of hapu including Te Uriroroi, Te Koiwi, Te Akitai, Ngati Hau, Ngati Korora, Ngati Taka, Ngati Hine, Te Waiariki, Te Parawhau and many others.
Located on the south side of the Whangarei Harbour, the Patuharakeke rohe boundary stretches on the seaward side, including foreshore and seabed, from a point at the north of Mangawhai Heads to the entrance of the Mangapai River just south of Whangarei. The boundary extends inland to include the Brynderwyn (or Piroa) and Kakanui Ranges.

“I nga ra e hi ika, he kupenga tatai awhai nuku”
“If you wish to catch fish, first you need to ensure your net is in good order”.
Whanaunga Harry Maki Midwood was able to share this whakatauki – custom designed for Patuharakeke by Harry and Meto Hopa of Kawhia. This vision was developed during a series of strategic hui in 2011. The “net” was a recurring theme, demonstrating for example, whakapapa, to awhi each other, keep our whanau safe and so forth.
The Mission:
-
Our whanau are well, safe, educated and connected
The Goal:
-
Building whanau capacity to keep our safety net strong and well
Guiding Principles:
-
To strengthen our whakapapa through communication strategies and caring for our elderly
-
To retain our identity and grow and celebrate Patuharakeketanga
Priorities
-
Tikanga me ona reo (custom, culture & language)
-
Kotahitanga (unity, connectedness)
-
Hauora
-
Engage and develop our rangatahi
To strengthen our connectedness to whanau that live away from the kainga and offshore
