There is something special about holding this edition in your hands. Not only are we celebrating the 50th issue of Whenua, but we are doing so in the 50th year since the establishment of our kaupapa in 1976. As you turn these pages, I invite you to reflect on the journey that has brought us here and the generations before us who have carried the legacy and vision of keeping our whenua in our hands. For 50 years, Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation has been a central part of a collective effort by Taranaki Māori to protect, retain, and lay solid foundations with the whenua entrusted to us by our tūpuna. While our enterprise, operations, and whenua-based opportunities have evolved, our purpose remains unchanged. At the heart, Parininihi ki Waitōtara is about whenua, whakapapa, and whānau. It is about ensuring current and future generations continue to have a connection to the land that defines who we are.

4 HE WHENUA

LOOKING BACK THROUGH EARLIER EDITIONS OF WHENUA, I AM INSPIRED BY THE FORESIGHT OF THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE US. THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT WHENUA WAS NEVER SIMPLY AN ASSET. IT WAS IDENTITY, BELONGING, RESPONSIBILITY, AND OPPORTUNITY. Their vision was to have confidence in ourselves, take control of our whenua, build its value by good management, and pass on something that will have practical benefit to future generations, something to be proud of, something that will be a living memorial to this present generation. The first edition of Whenua featured our inaugural Chairman, Koro Charlie Bailey, whose leadership helped lay the foundations for the kaupapa standing today. Fifty editions later, our cover honours outgoing Te Rau Toi Ariki Dion Tuuta, whose leadership contribution has helped shape a new chapter of growth and ambition for PKW. Like many of our whānau, we were proud to stand together in Pōneke earlier this year as Dion was welcomed into his role as Chief Executive of Te Puni Kōkiri. It was a moment that reflected the strength of our collective whakapapa and the pride we take in seeing one of our own lead in a significant national role. This edition celebrates the many strands that continue to strengthen Parininihi ki Waitōtara. You’ll read about our people, from the generations of kaimahi and farm teams who have helped build PKW to our Rau Mataora scholarship recipients who represent the future leadership of our maunga.


WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

You’ll see how we are investing in our whenua through kaitiakitanga, renewable energy opportunities, and strategic developments that will support long-term prosperity. You’ll also discover stories that reconnect us to our history, including the reopening of Urenui Pā and the return of Taranaki Māori Trust Board shares to their original owners, helping restore important connections between whānau and whenua. As we look back, we are also preparing to share our story more widely. Following the success of our Te Rau Toi 50th Anniversary Exhibition in Te Hāwera, we warmly invite Rau Titikura, whānau, and the wider community to visit Rau Te Tai Ākina at Puke Ariki museum, opening Labour Weekend running through to April 2027. The exhibition will tell the story of the Reserved Lands and the generations who fought to retain them. It will explore the enduring legacy behind the kōrero, “Ko te mana raihana, kāore nei he oranga” and provide a space where history, memory, and lived experience come together.

As we look to the next 50 years, I am reminded that our greatest achievement is not measured solely by growth, but by endurance. Despite the immense loss of whenua experienced by our tūpuna, generations of Taranaki Māori held fast to the belief that whenua and whakapapa are birth rights. The progress we celebrate today was born from that determination. It reflects the resilience of those who refused to lose sight of their connection to whenua, and whose vision ensured that future generations would continue to benefit from it. We honour those who carried that responsibility before us, celebrate those who carry it today, and look forward with confidence and purpose to those who will carry it next.

Central to the exhibition will be whānau stories and a specially commissioned 15-minute film that will screen daily, sharing the voices, experiences, and aspirations of our people. Our anniversary year will culminate with another significant first as we hold our Annual General Meeting at Parihaka on 14 November. There couldn’t be a more fitting place to gather as Taranaki Māori. Parihaka stands as a sentinel of the struggle to retain whenua, uphold identity, and pursue a future founded on peace, dignity, and hope for uri whakaheke. The values that guided our tūpuna then continue to guide us all today.

“He uri tēnei nā Turi rāua ko Rongorongo o te waka o Aotea. Nō ngā hapū o Ngā Ariki, Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Ringi, Ngāti Tūpito, Rangitāwhi, me Ngāti Tākou ahau. Ko Meremere Marae i Ōhangai me Waioturi Marae me Pariroa Marae ōku marae. Ko Kaikapo Rangihaeata rāua ko Hinemoa Broughton ōku tūpuna, ā, nā rāua ahau e hono ana ki ngā whenua me ngā kōrero tuku iho o Taranaki whānui. Ka noho taku whakapapa hei tūāpapa mō ngā mahi katoa e whai nei au.” Jojo Rangihaeata is not afraid of Artificial Intelligence. She would rather tackle the technological taniwha head on. “We can’t go against AI. It has no feelings, it doesn’t care. So how can we use it to our advantage? How can we keep our integrity, our mana motuhake, intact at the same time?” she asks. Jojo (Jolene) is the 2026 Te Rau Matatoi o Te Tau – Charles Bailey Scholar. The Parininihi ki Waitōtara scholarship will support her PhD exploration into the concept of iwi-led digital kaitiakitanga. The title of Jojo’s rangahau is “Hōatu tō kauhau taniwha ki uta! Digital guardianship as a framework for protecting and transmitting Ngāti Konohi knowledge”. She wants to bring new technologies like AI out of the unknown to where they can be openly investigated for use as tools for kaitiakitanga. Her rangahau emerged from concerns about climate change, environmental disruption, urban migration and rapid technological change. “There’s a personal connection for me,” Jojo says. “I was there when Cyclone Gabrielle hit Gisborne in 2023. When whenua is damaged, important cultural, spiritual, and historical knowledge can also be threatened.”

Grounded in kaupapa Māori, her rangahau examines how Māori communities can exercise digital kaitiakitanga to meet the ongoing challenges of protecting, preserving and transmitting their mātauranga. Despite minimal contributions to global emissions, Māori are among the first to face rising seas, biodiversity loss, and extreme weather events that threaten marae, urupā, and ancestral lands. “I’m exploring how digital systems can support cultural resilience. We talk about physical tāonga, like marae, tukutuku panels, carvings, photos. What happens when cyclones wipe those out? There’s also the digital side, data sovereignty. Who owns it? What happens to it once it goes into the cloud? There are lots of questions, lots of obstacles.

“AT THE END OF MY RESEARCH I WANT TO PROVIDE PRACTICAL FRAMEWORKS THAT CAN HELP OUR WHĀNAU SAFEGUARD THEIR TAONGA AND THAT ANY INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY CAN TAKE AND ADAPT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN TIKANGA.” Jojo Rangihaeata – 2026 Te Rau Matatoi o Te Tau – Charles Bailey Scholar

Jojo was born in Gisborne but grew up in Pātea. Her mother, Ngahina Rangihaeata (nee Waihi) came from Whāngārā-Mai-Tāwhiti on the East Coast of Ngāti Porou and her father, Kaikapo Rangihaeata, from South Taranaki. Describing her childhood as a “space of love and nurture” Jojo remembers Pātea Pā and, as a mokopuna of the Kohanga Reo, being thrown into kapa haka lines under the mantle of Nanny Hui Kahu and Aunty Paki Hopkins. Both were prominent in the Pātea Māori Club.

Jojo Rangihaeata within O-Tāwhao Marae in Te Awamutu “I went to Pātea Primary School, across the road from where we lived. And I was a young student of tae kwon do under the tutelage of Jason Rei. “My grandfather, my dad’s dad, used to take me eeling and whitebaiting at Kakaramea, and I remember going to my Nanny Delia Broughton’s whare to learn to weave and help make pickled chutney.” The whānau returned to Gisborne when Jojo was about to start Intermediate School. By then a responsibility to use her talents to give back to her people had begun to take root. “A lot of kudos must go to my mum who passed away three years ago. She was an open door policy wahine, always feeding people. She’d say if we’ve got the kai, then why wouldn’t we provide for others. So it is engrained in me to use the tools and resources I have to give back to my people.” Jojo’s wasn’t a straight academic path to PhD study. At high school she played nine different sports and immersed herself in te reo Māori and kapa haka. A Māori Performing Arts course followed graduation. “I thought I was too dumb to go to university but then I ended up going anyway. Te Taka Keegan was one of my lecturers. He was the reason I fell in love with IT and the integration of operating systems. So I started doing a computer science degree as well as my reo degree.

“AS TIME WENT ON, I THOUGHT, THIS IS ME! I’M CREATIVE, I’M INNOVATIVE, I’M LOVING GRAPHICS. THERE’S THE COMPUTER COMPONENT, THERE’S A REO COMPONENT, THERE’S THE PERFORMING ARTS COMPONENT, ALL OF THESE THINGS.” Jojo Rangihaeata – 2026 Te Rau Matatoi o Te Tau – Charles Bailey Scholar

The double degree led to a job in Wellington with a graphic design multimedia company where Jojo learnt coding and web design. After five years she gained her teaching tohu from Massey University and taught at kura kaupapa and wharekura before moving into mainstream schools, then tertiary teaching and management. Doors kept opening up. “All this time Te Taka Keegan had been on my case saying, hey, JoJo, you know, you should do a PhD. I said, that’s the last thing I want to do. It’s blimmin’ needles in my eyes. And he laughs and goes, well, I think you should at least think about it.” By then kapa haka was playing a big role in Jojo’s life. She had twice been part of the champion rōpū WhāngārāMai-Tāwhiti Kapa Haka at Te Matatini. She was later appointed a judge at Te Matatini Herenga Waka, Te Matatini Ki Te Ao, and Te Matatini o Te Kāhui Maunga, including the regionals there.

“Te Taka came back to me then. I was ready, and that got me to where I am today.”

“It comes down to the protection, preservation and transmission of mātauranga Māori. That’s what drives me.

Professor Te Taka Keegan is one of Jojo’s PhD supervisors at Waikato University. His work has helped ensure that te reo Māori is embedded in emerging digital tools and AI systems. Her other supervisor is Professor Te Kahautu Maxwell, an authority in mātauranga, te reo, tikanga, and kapa haka.

“Digital kaitiakitanga is about carrying forward the responsibilities entrusted to us by our tūpuna. I want future generations to inherit not only our stories and knowledge, but also the capability and authority to safeguard them.

“I’m very, very lucky to have them both. And I am so lucky to have the support of PKW. Kāore ngā kupu tua atu! No words can express the gratitude I feel towards my people, my iwi, for their faith in me.” Though the research is co-designed with Ngāti Konohi and grounded in their knowledge, traditions and histories, it weaves in with PKW’s purpose, values and strategic plan. “I’m focussing on Whāngārā Marae in Tairāwhiti but the learnings have relevance for iwi and Māori organisations across the motu, including organisations such as Parininihi ki Waitōtara.” When Jojo reflects on her journey she finds a common thread running through her upbringing – education, kapa haka, whakapapa, and research.

Ka nui taku whakamiha mō tēnei manaakitanga me tēnei haumi ki taku anamata. Ka whakapau kaha au kia whai hua ai tēnei karahipi, kia whakahoki ai ngā hua ki te iwi Māori me ngā hapori e tautoko nei i a au”

WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

Significant progress has been made to reconnect whānau to Parininihi ki Waitōtara shares lost to them for more than 60 years. The Taranaki Māori Trust Board (TMTB) has held the 5,956 shares since the 1963 Amalgamation Order. The order vested uneconomic interests (worth less than 10 pounds at the time) in TMTB, thereby alienating owners from their shares. PKW has worked closely with the Māori Land Court to prepare the necessary applications and orders to transfer the shares from TMTB to the original owners. They will be added to the 1.2 million shares PKW currently holds. Puna Wano-Bryant, Te Rautitikura / General Manager Shareholder & Taiao Engagement, says the approach PKW is taking is not only about the shares alone. The names of the original owners will also be preserved within the permanent records of the Māori Land Court. “It’s the reclamation of our PKW story. We’ve drafted the application that Taranaki Māori Trust Board will file with the Māori Land Court. We’ve made sure the tupuna names are on the court orders that come across with the shares. “It is important to us that they are returned to the whare of Parininihi ki Waitōtara, where we can use the tools we have to reconnect those shareholders and their descendants with their whenua,” Puna says. Project lead, Adrian Poa, Te Rau Tātai Kura/Shareholder Engagement Advisor, says this is at the heart of the mahi. “The tupuna names have been missing for so long we wanted to ensure they were on record forever. It’ll be a huge task to see which of our records match with those owners of 1963 and to see which ones haven’t been added on since then. “Some, when they come back to us, will already be owners in the PKW Incorporation. Some of them are tupuna names that haven’t been succeeded to. Some might already be owners but not succeeded to their lands.” The return of the shares was necessitated by Te Ture Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua 2025 redress framework which dissolves TMTB, as Puna explains.

“It’s the result of the collective action of ngā iwi o Taranaki to achieve redress for Taranaki Maunga and to put the Trust Board to bed. The board can’t be dissolved until there is an order from the Māori Land Court saying these shares have been transferred.” The second phase of identifying and reconnecting the interests with the current generation of descendants requires extensive historical, ownership and whakapapa research. TMTB is helping to fund this phase and is working alongside PKW’s expertise. The Māori Land Court has provided PKW with about 470GB of ownership records, including minute books and Court orders that are not currently available through Pātaka Whenua. It is a massive new undertaking but one that excites Adrian Poa.

”IT’S CONNECTION, IT’S HONONGA WITH PARININIHI KI WAITŌTARA, IT’S HONONGA BACK TO TARANAKI. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEY ARE PART OF THE UNECONOMIC SHARES AND THEY HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO COME AND SEE US DIRECTLY. THEY’VE WANTED TO BUT THERE’S BEEN A BLANK. IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME AND I’M GLAD IT’S HAPPENING IN MY LIFETIME.” Adrian Poa – Te Rau Tātai Kura/Shareholder Engagement Advisor

Meanwhile Puna Wano-Bryant is looking forward to putting up the new list of shareholders. “There is an ongoing grievance that these interests were deemed uneconomic at the time. That’s not how we talk about our whenua. Whenua is whakapapa. So we can restore that imbalance and address the grievance at the same time,” she says. The application for the shares transfer is now with TMTB to file with the Māori Land Court.

WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

An evolving workforce, an enduring kaupapa and intergenerational service. Parininihi ki Waitōtara’s roots extend back further than 50 years. Back then, there was no office, no management team and no workforce. There were no farming operations, environmental specialists or investment portfolios. There wasn’t even an organisation called Parininihi ki Waitōtara. But there was a group of Taranaki Māori determined to protect what remained of the whenua tūpuna (the West Coast Settlement Reserves) and ensure its future was once again in the hands of its people.

reserves’ 80,000 hectares had already been lost, when a movement of owners emerged to stop the Crown from further sales and mismanagement of whenua tūpuna and to regain control of what remained. These leaders, many who would serve on PKW’s first Committee of Management, rallied the owners to petition the government for change. In 1976, their efforts resulted in the establishment of Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation, which assumed responsibility for the remaining 22,000 hectares of unsold whenua tūpuna.

Today, PKW is one of Taranaki’s largest farming enterprises and a substantial intergenerational Māori business, with interests extending across agriculture, property, fisheries, forestry, horticulture and most recently renewable energy.

While an extraordinary achievement, it was only the beginning. One battle was won, but a long and difficult fight lay ahead. The perpetual lease system (created when the reserves were established) meant PKW owned the underlying whenua but had little control over how it was used and were only paid, if anything, a peppercorn rental well below market rate.

The distance travelled over those 50 years is immense. The organisation has evolved and the workforce has grown in number and capabilities. Yet the kaupapa and the values that unite kamahi across generations endures.

In those early days, PKW was a very different looking organisation. Many of the Committe of Management were farmers doing this mahi in their free time. They would meet at each other’s houses and hold hui at local marae.

“PKW today might be very different to the organisation our tauheke established in 1976, however I am confident, it was what they envisioned when the call went out to take control of our own destiny. What we do, how we do it and the scale we do it at has changed so much in 50 years. But I believe our tauheke would absolutely recognise the values and underlying aspirations that endure,” says PKW Te Rau Whakapuāwai Jacqui King.

“They weren’t building an organisation for themselves, they were making decisions for people they would never meet. They believed your responsibility extends beyond your own lifetime.”

“THEY WANTED TO PROTECT THE WHENUA, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR PEOPLE AND BUILD SOMETHING THAT WOULD ENDURE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. FIFTY YEARS LATER, THAT IS STILL WHAT DRIVES PKW’S PEOPLE.” Jacqui King – PKW Te Rau Whakapuāwai

Early leadership imagine a better future PKW’s history began long before 1976. Over the preceding years Taranaki Māori watched with pain and hurt as whenua tūpuna (West Coast Settlement Reserves) administered by the Crown was sold into private ownership. Roughly three-quarters of the

It wasn’t without challenges. During the early 1980s, the Committee of Management of the day made some difficult decisions to generate capital with a view to creating more opportunities. This determination resulted in the growth of the asset base and active investments in commercial property ventures in Ngāmotu and Stratford. It also enabled PKW to start buying back leasehold interests on whenua tūpuna. A new chapter had begun. In the Incorporation’s early decades, the work was often undertaken by board members themselves. With pūtea from leased whenua tūpuna being limited (thanks to those peppercorn rents), they couldn’t afford an in-house team. Instead they decided to outsource what they couldn’t look after themselves. During this period, PKW turned to accounting and consultancy firm Staples Rodway to provide administrative support, financial management and the oversight of farming interests.

Te Tapaina ingoa ki Waitokorau, Ōkahu Inuāwai Shaping and shaped by legislative reform At the same time, the early leaders’ fight against perpetual leases continued. PKW joined other Māori land organisations, leaders and advocates from around the motu pushing for government reform. While 11th hour lobbying by farming groups saw the government of the day backtrack on its plans to abolish perpetual leases the night before legislation was passed, the Māori Reserved Land Amendment Act 1997 did deliver three important legislative wins that were game changers for PKW. Moving forward, leases would be subject to market rents. The rental review period reduced from 21 years to 7. Most importantly, incorporations like PKW were granted first right of refusal when whenua tūpuna came up for sale. As opportunities arose to reacquire interests in whenua, PKW became increasingly deliberate about where and how it invested. Most farms that PKW bought were initially set up with long term sharemilking agreements in place so there was no “hands on” workforce required. But buying back whenua changed the scope of what PKW did. As the driver for land acquisition became more pressing, the Committee of Management set a number of new requirements in place, including deeper due-diligence, detailed business cases and a robust land management plan across all whenua tūpuna so that priority acquisitions could be identified in advance. Getting hands on It was the beginning of a shift from an organisation primarily concerned with protecting ownership, to one increasingly capable of exercising mana motuhake over its whenua. But the change didn’t come without issues. When Dion Tuuta arrived as the first employed manager of PKW in 2008, he was on the front page of the paper

his very first week - but not for good reasons. PKW’s GABA investment in Australia had failed. As well as attracting intense public scrutiny for the new CE and the organisation, the loss was a difficult lesson in investment decision making. “Some of the most important periods in PKW’s history have come when we have had to ask ourselves difficult questions. What are we here for? What do our owners expect of us? What do we need to protect, and what do we need to change? One of the first things Dion did was ask our Rau Titikura what mattered most to them.” Through engagement with whānau, a clearer articulation of the organisation’s purpose emerged: He Whenua, He Tangata, He Ora (and no, that’s not a typo, originally whenua came first in our vision). That vision expressed a distinctly Taranaki Māori understanding of success. Whenua, whakapapa and prosperity are inseparable. Commercial strength mattered because of what it enabled: the protection of whenua, opportunities for whānau and the ability to leave something stronger for those yet to come.

“WE ARE A MĀORI WHĀNAU BUSINESS, AND THAT MEANS WE EXPECT MORE OF OURSELVES THAN SIMPLY BEING COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL. SUCCESS IS ALSO ABOUT HOW WE OPERATE — WHETHER WE DEMONSTRATE KAITIAKITANGA, WHANAUNGATANGA, KOTAHITANGA AND MANAAKITANGA, AND WHETHER WE ARE TIKA AND PONO IN THE DECISIONS WE MAKE. OUR VALUES AREN’T SOMETHING THAT SIT ALONGSIDE THE ORGANISATION, THEY SHAPE THE ORGANISATION,” Jacqui King – PKW Te Rau Whakapuāwai


WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

Growing the capability to do it ourselves Prior to Dion’s arrival, PKW had been focused on governing the portfolio, outsourcing the management of the incorporation and its holdings. They made do with two employees — handyman Kahu Ngaia and a board secretariat, Caroline Waiwiri. The new strategy required PKW to start building capability within the organisation. One of Dion’s early appointments was Shane Miles in early 2012, now GM of Āhuwhenua and PKW’s longest serving kaimahi. His work helped drive a fundamental change in the relationship between PKW and its farms. Rather than remaining a largely passive landowner, PKW moved towards active farming and greater control over what happened on the whenua tūpuna purchased back. More active farm management enabled PKW to step into its role of being hands-on kaitiaki. Existing sharemilking arrangements meant the transition took years, but the direction was clear. Things were steaming ahead. In 2014 alone, PKW had purchased 11 farms and made significant infrastructure investments. Then the dairy market crash happened. A people first approach The sharp fall in milk prices (the 2014/15 season holds the record for the lowest payout in Aotearoa’s history) exposed the risk of rapid expansion and prompted another period of reflection. This time, the response would subtly but significantly reshape the organisation’s priorities further. He Whenua, He Tangata, He Ora became He Tangata, He Whenua, He Ora. “It was a recognition that protecting and growing the whenua could never be an end in itself. The whenua

Te whāngai i ngā kararehe i te kai

is important because of the whakapapa (the people) connected to it. PKW needed to make sure it was building capability, opportunity and wellbeing alongside the asset base,” says Jacqui. PKW entered a period of consolidation. Acquisition criteria became more disciplined. Farming models evolved and the organisation recognised that, because it retained the underlying title and first right of refusal, it did not need to pursue every opportunity immediately. There was power in patience. Another principle that endures to this day was set during this period. While PKW may divest leasehold interests where there is a compelling strategic reason, the underlying title to whenua tūpuna is always protected. The generation that fought to regain control of the whenua had created something enduring. PKW’s responsibility was to ensure it stayed that way. Many pathways, one purpose The dairy downturn reinforced another lesson — resilience required diversity. Today, farming remains fundamental to PKW, however it sits within a much broader portfolio. Investments across fisheries, forestry, property, horticulture and renewable energy spread risk and create new pathways for growth. Partnership has become another important expression of the kaupapa. Projects such as the Tātai Koura (collective Māori investment in kōura fisheries), Tai Hekenga (collective Taranaki Whānui investment in Crown leased properties in Pōneke), and Novotel Ngāmotu (collective investment between PKW, Taranaki and Te Atiawa Iwi) demonstrate what can become possible when Māori organisations combine resources and aspirations.

The activity on our whenua has continued to diversify. PKW’s farming model now encompasses dairy, dairy support, dry stock and sheep dairying, while long-held horticultural aspirations are beginning to become reality (after two years of crop trailing PKW has just harvested their first hectare of kumara!). PKW has also become involved with wind and solar farming and is developing their capabilities within the renewable energy space (you can read more about this mahi in this issue of Whenua). Diversification of activity has driven investment into assets — including our people. Today’s kaimahi include expertise that the Incorporation’s founders could scarcely have imagined needing. Alongside farming and commercial roles are people working in environmental management, strategy and specialist disciplines. A dedicated taiao team helps ensure kaitiakitanga is embedded in decision-making and on-farm operations. Yet Jacqui says the most important attribute PKW looks for in its people has changed very little. “We can build capability and develop technical skills, but people must value the kaupapa. We want kaimahi who recognise that working for PKW carries a responsibility. You are contributing to something that began before you and that needs to continue long after you.” Where candidates bring equivalent skills and experience, PKW’s preferential employment policy also creates opportunities for Rau Titikura and Taranaki whānau.

It is one way of closing a circle that began 50 years ago: descendants of the people who fought to retain the whenua now having opportunities to build careers caring for it, managing it and determining its future. The generations game Perhaps nowhere is PKW’s evolution more visible than within the whānau who have remained connected to the kaupapa across generations. Trustee Angela Kerehoma’s story is one example. Her grandmother, Gloria, was among the original trustees of the PKW Trust, while both Gloria and her husband were involved in the movement that led to the establishment of the incorporation. Today, the connection continues into another generation, with Angela’s son receiving a PKW scholarship, studying environmental planning, and being employed within the taiao team. There are similar stories across the PKW whānau. Scholarships have increasingly become aligned with areas where PKW hopes to grow capability, including agribusiness and environmental management. Recipients of the PKW Trust grants and scholarships programme have returned as employees and as governors, and stepped into other roles supporting the kaupapa.


WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

Ko te hoki ā ngā uri, ngā Rau Whakauruora ki te whenua Paerau Dillon represents another generation coming through. Having grown up with an understanding of PKW and its relationship with whenua in his rohe, he is undertaking a 12-month cadetship designed to expose him to the breadth of the organisation — from dairy in our ovine and bovine operations to dairy support, dry stock and taiao mahi.

“Our founding tūpuna dreamt of what PKW would look like 50 years on. Yet even they may be surprised by the pathways created, especially in areas like renewable energy, environmental planning roles, investment analysts — or sheep dairy farming! But they understood what they were trying to create and set the direction we have followed.”

“These opportunities are about more than building skills, they are about strengthening connections between whānau and the whenua. When you see the mokopuna and great-mokopuna of people who helped establish this kaupapa finding their own place within PKW, it is incredibly powerful. They might be a farmer, an environmental planner, an accountant, a governor or something we haven’t even imagined yet. The roles evolve so that the kaupapa endures.” says Jacqui.

“They were protecting the ability of future generations to make choices for themselves. That is mana motuhake. Our job is to honour what they handed to us, make it stronger in our time and then hand it forward again.”

A future focus Fifty years after its establishment, PKW is a vastly more sophisticated organisation than the one created in 1976. Its balance sheet is stronger. Its commercial interests are broader. Its farming operations are more complex. Its workforce has grown from a handful of people into a multidisciplinary team. The organisation that once had no office and held hui around kitchen tables now operates across multiple sectors and increasingly looks towards emerging opportunities that will shape the next 50 years. But evolution, Jacqui says, should never be mistaken for leaving the past behind. “For PKW, progress is possible precisely because each generation inherits something from the one before it: whenua, whakapapa connection, values, opportunity — and responsibility.”

That may ultimately be the most important measure of PKW’s first 50 years. Not simply how much whenua has been reacquired, how large the portfolio has become or how many people benefit from this mahi. But that the kaupapa has endured. “The whānau who gathered in homes and marae in the 1970s stood up so their descendants could have a better future. You can read their call in the original petition, it asked us to have faith and confidence in ourselves and to advance our own wellbeing through the care and protection of our whenua.” Today’s generation are a manifestation of the dreams of our tūpuna. In 2026, as we celebrate 50 years of the incorporation, their descendants are active on the whenua, protecting its environment, governing its assets, exploring new industries and investing in the people who will be its future leaders.

THE ORGANISATION HAS EVOLVED, THE KAUPAPA AND VISION ENDURES.

Kei aku rangatira, kei aku whanaunga, tēnā koutou katoa. Ko Taari Nicholas tōku ingoa. He uri ahau nō Ngāti Ruanui, Ngā Ruahinerangi, Taranaki me Te Atiawa. As a shareholder, I stand again for election to the Committee of Management of Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation. First, thank you. You have placed your trust in me at successive elections over many years, and I have never taken it lightly. It has been a privilege to serve you. I am a retired chartered accountant, a chartered company director, and a member of the Institute of Financial Professionals New Zealand, with many years of investment, finance and governance experience. I have served on the Committee of Management for the past 18 years and am its longest serving member. I carry much of PKW’s institutional knowledge. Over all that time I have chaired the Audit and Risk Committee and served on the PKW Farms Board. I am now also a member of the new PKW Investment Advisory Committee.

20 HE TĀNGATA

Over the past 20 years I have been a governor of many Taranaki iwi asset holding companies, and I work with other iwi and Māori organisations across Aotearoa. I am also a director of an institutionally owned dairy farming fund operating 20 dairy farms and added-value dairy businesses. PKW is an intergenerational business. Our whenua and assets are held for those yet to come. My focus has always been on protecting what we have, growing it carefully, and keeping the Incorporation financially strong, well governed and accountable to you. If re-elected, I will continue to bring diligence, independence of mind and deep respect for the responsibility you place in us. It would be an honour to serve you again. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.

JAMIE TUUTA NOMINATED BY: RAYMOND TUUTA

Kei ngā uri o Parininihi ki Waitotara, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou. I am seeking election to the Committee of Management of Parininihi ki Waitōtara because I have a deep connection to PKW, our whenua, our people and purpose, and I would be privileged to serve our shareholders again. I previously served as a Committee of Management Member and Chair of PKW from 2005 to 2011. That experience gave me a strong understanding of PKW’s history, responsibilities to shareholders, and the importance of protecting and growing our whenua and assets for future generations. Since that time, I have continued to build extensive governance, commercial and leadership experience across Māori land, agribusiness, investment, fisheries, infrastructure, iwi development and economic development. I served as Māori Trustee and Chief Executive of Te Tumu Paeroa, leading a national organisation responsible for protecting and enhancing Māori land and assets. I currently serve as a director of Dairy Holdings, the largest corporate dairy farmer in the country, Port Taranaki, Moana New Zealand, Sealord and a range of iwi investment entities.

These experiences have strengthened my belief that our whenua is both a taonga and a platform for opportunity for shareholders and whānau. PKW has a proud legacy, but we must continue to evolve. We need to protect the whenua while ensuring it performs strongly environmentally, culturally, socially and commercially. We should be ambitious about innovation, diversification and creating greater opportunities for our shareholders and whānau. If elected, I would bring strong governance and commercial experience, strategic thinking, strong relationships and a willingness to challenge constructively. Most importantly, I would bring a commitment to serve. I would be honoured to again contribute to our incorporation and help ensure the decisions we make today and leave a stronger legacy for the generations who follow us.

Tēnā koutou He mokopuna tēnei o te Maunga tītōhea Ko Kurahaupo ko Tokomaru ōku waka Ko Taranaki ko Ngāti Maru ko Te Atiawa ōku iwi Ko Tokatumoana Kevin Walden ange au

If elected for a further term, I am fully committed to continuing to progress our strategy Rautaki 2033 and the exciting initiatives currently in the pipeline and advancing higher returns for our uri, whānau, hapū, and marae huri noa i te Maunga.

I was born and bred on a dairy farm in Rahotu. Throughout my career I’ve built extensive networks and experience across the private and public sectors, including education, taiao, community development, iwi, and energy. One of my proudest achievements was serving as the Chairperson of Taranaki Iwi and being one of the negotiators who helped secure our Treaty Settlement in 2016.

These initiatives are in renewable energy, ahuwhenua, and property development where I have proven experience and where I believe I can add real value.

I have served on the Committee of Management on two occasions — an earlier term some years back, and most recently a three-year term, which I have just completed. It is a privilege to be entrusted by our whānau and shareholders with this responsibility. This is a pivotal time to be part of Parininihi Ki Waitōtara. I believe in collective action built on trusted relationships and am always looking for opportunities for our shareholders and protecting and growing our assets for our mokopuna and future generations.

I’m based locally and totally committed to sustaining and growing our people through prosperity. I ask for your vote to continue the mahi — for our whānau and our whenua. Ngā mihi maioha, Toka Walden

TE AHUNGA MAI O TE AHUWHENUA I NGĀ TAU THE LEGACY DECISION OF OUR TŪPUNA TO FARM THE WHENUA |

28 HE WHENUA


WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

The whenua sits at the heart of Parininihi ki Waitōtara – the foundation on which the hopes and dreams of future generations rested. But the legacy left by tūpuna was not just land – it was possibility. Fifty years later, what happens on that whenua has changed beyond anything the first Committee of Management could have imagined. When Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation was established in 1976, its 20,000 hectares of ancestral Taranaki land remained entirely under perpetual lease. But the fight had been for more than just ensuring it remained in Māori ownership – it had been a fight for control, to be able to make the decision of how that land should be used, and to ensure a meaningful rate of return – more than a peppercorn rental set with no thought for those with whakapapa connections. But initially PKW largely administered leases and collected rents. It would be another decade before opportunities emerged to purchase leasehold interests so they could stand on their own land and decide what their footprint would be. “It is easy to forget that when PKW was first created, it was required more to carry out an administrative function than to have any sort of role in how the land was managed,” says Te Rau Whakahaumako/GM Ahuwhenua Shane Miles. “Perpetual leases remained in place at the establishment of PKW, and the ability to collect mediocre rental revenue. But ownership meant they could plan for the day they could take active control.” That opportunity came with the open-market purchase of PKW’s first dairy farm in the late 1980s. One of the stories handed down speaks of a committee member who was sent to the auction with strict bidding instructions. He rang afterwards to announce the good news: PKW owned now owned a farm. He had also, apparently, exceeded his conservative limit to make sure it happened. In essence, the story captures something of the determination behind those early acquisitions.

“THE BIG DRIVER WAS JUST ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO BE ACTIVE,” SHANE SAYS. “IT WAS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN 100 YEARS, SINCE THE CONFISCATION, THAT THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE FARMERS ON THAT WHENUA AGAIN.” Shane Miles – Te Rau Whakahaumako/GM Ahuwhenua

There was no debate on what to do with the land - dairy farming was the obvious choice amongst the tūpuna of that time. It offered the strongest economic return and there was extensive farming and horticulture expertise among PKW’s own people. From that first farm, the Incorporation grew steadily through the 1990s and 2000s as opportunities arose to purchase leasehold interests, sometimes one neighbouring block at a time. Sharemilkers primarily operated the farms in partnership with PKW, and became hugely important partners in that expansion, bringing livestock, labour, and their farming expertise while PKW provided the whenua and infrastructure. “Those partnerships were a significant contributor to building scale and were essential in PKW’s growth and the early days of becoming active farmers, and ultimately one of New Zealand’s largest Māori farming enterprises,” says Shane. “I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge all those Farming Partners and Kaimahi on-farm that have contributed to the development and success of PKW Farms over many, many years – both past and present. “Whilst the context we operate in is ever-changing, and sometimes it is difficult on-farm dealing with those changes and expectations – we must respect and understand that every day we work for the aspirations of our tūpuna and current shareholders. I am always grateful for the hard mahi that goes in by everyone in the Farms business”.

With limited capital available, much of the land acquisition was funded through debt. When dairy returns weakened, the tension between the desire to bring more whenua under active management and the need to produce sustainable financial returns became increasingly apparent. Some leasehold interests were eventually sold back into the market as PKW sought to reduce debt and strengthen farm performance. It was a challenging time for the Committee of Management who needed to balance the views of Rau Titikura and the resilience and sustainability of the business. But the ownership of the whenua did not change – and never will, with PKW always retaining the underlying whenua tūpuna Corpus land.

“YOU DO NOT SELL A LEGACY, YOU NURTURE IT,” SHANE SAYS. “THAT PRINCIPLE MEANS THAT WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE CONTROL OVER HOW THE WHENUA IS MANAGED, OPENING UP THE POSSIBILITIES FOR INNOVATION AND DIVERSIFICATION BECAUSE LAND USE AND OPTIMISATION COULD CHANGE OVER TIME.” And those possibilities have seen an evolution of how PKW manages that legacy. For a long time, actively managing whenua mostly meant farming it. Today there is no single approach to delivering the returns shareholders expect while ensuring the business can withstand, and even flourish in, an increasingly challenging and changeable world. Renewable energy would have been almost unimaginable to those establishing PKW in 1976. Yet the opportunities and returns solar and other potential renewable energies offer today are only possible because of their foresight and vision.

Farming itself has changed dramatically as knowledge, technology and expectations around Kaitiakitanga and Farming Methods on the land have evolved. Ahuwhenua remains central to PKW’s identity and commercial strength, but the way returns are delivered is changing. Commercial performance remains essential, but the measure of return has broadened to encompass environmental outcomes, cultural connection, food sovereignty and opportunities for whānau. Recent initiatives that have seen kai produced on PKW farms distributed through marae offer a glimpse of what that can mean: commercial success creating the foundation for benefits that extend beyond dividend. And that is vital because PKW’s original 5,396 owners have become more than 11,000 Te Rau Titikura, and that number will continue to grow, along with their aspirations. The challenge is to continue to build a business strong enough to carry those aspirations forward. For Shane, the original owners left a legacy greater than the whenua itself - the possibilities that came with ownership, control over land use and the ability to build knowledge. “Their fight to ensure administrative rights over the whenua, and that they retained control of those West Coast Settlement Reserves, created future possibilities they could never have thought of,” he says. “The whenua they left for us has been the foundation, but their vision was the first building block that led to where we are now.” Those tūpuna could scarcely have pictured solar panels generating electricity, with sheep grazing in-between them. And whilst we look to the future opportunities, no one knows what another 50 years will bring, what future generations will value, or where the opportunities will lie. We don’t need to. Because if the whenua remains, so will the possibilities.

Breathing Life Into The Kaitiakitanga Strategy When Tina Moeahu goes to work on Taranaki whenua her past walks alongside her. Te Rau Whakauruora in the Taiao team, Tina is the fourth generation of her whānau to be involved with Parininihi ki Waitōtara. Her father, Peter Moeahu, a long-standing advocate for mana motuhake, and her great-uncle Ted Tāmati, the chairperson of PKW from 1987 to 2000, dedicated many years to the return and protection of traditional whenua. “It’s embedded in me to be of service to my people,” Tina says. “Over the years I’ve seen the growth of kaimahi within the organisation and I feel honoured to be part of it, to walk the whenua and enhance it with the mahi we do.” Strengthening connections between people and whenua is an aspect of the Kaitiakitanga Strategy that is as vital to achieving a holistic result as excellence in farming. With the strategy up for review, Puna Wano-Bryant, Te Rautitikura / General Manager Shareholder & Taiao Engagement, says they want it to look, sound and feel like a Taranaki story. That is already happening on the ground. “We have Taranaki Māori working on Taranaki whenua. They engage with our hapū so that hapū know what we’re doing and can contribute. They try to source the right plants by looking at the whakapapa of seeds and which plants are appropriate for our whenua,” Puna says.

Putting mātauranga Māori o Taranaki at the forefront of their mahi is one of the responsibilities of Te Rau Whakaihoiho Kaitiaki / Taiao Manager, Dr Jo Sullivan. Jo has the “privilege” of coming from both western science and mātauranga Māori worlds. “We use mātauranga—the methodology of observation and interpretation of the natural world—alongside western knowledge and tools. It just becomes part and parcel of what the team does,” Jo says.

“WHEN WE’RE PLANNING A RESTORATION PROJECT WE GROUND OURSELVES IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLACE. THIS IS WHERE THE MĀTAURANGA COMES IN. WE LEARN FROM HAPŪ AND WHĀNAU. THEY HOLD A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE THAT WE DON’T. THAT GIVES US A PURPOSE FOR WHY WE WANT TO RESTORE THOSE SPACES. AND WE USE THAT TO PLAN OUR WORK.” Dr Jo Sullivan – Te Rau Whakaihoiho Kaitiaki / Taiao Manager

Planning can include looking for historically significant plants that are now missing from the site. Jo works with hapū, iwi or values-aligned nurseries to ensure the whakapapa of the source seeds. The team covers nearly 4000 hectares across 22 farms.


WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

Using a Taranaki mātauranga lens every day differentiates PKW from organisations that focus on simple restoration. This appealed to Te Rau Whakauruora, Raniera Karena, when he joined the team in 2021 from traditional farming. Now he looks back with pride in what they have achieved. “Last year, for example, we had 1200 plants go in on one farm. Looking at them now, they’ve shot up like crazy. It’s cool to see it’s not work done in vain. I enjoy the variety of the job – planting, fencing, water monitoring, hapū reconnection, wānanga – and I like working for a Māoriowned company. It ticks my boxes,” says Raniera. Like Tina Moeahu, Raniera’s story reaches back through the generations. His great-grandmother, Sally Karena, was a strong supporter of PKW and played a role in nominating members of the original Committee of Management. She was committed to retaining whenua in Māori ownership, and the whānau farm she fought to keep remains in whānau ownership today. “We were city slickers living in Hamilton and my greatgrandmother brought us home. My grandfather, her son, was ill. Dad came back initially to look after him then brought us all back to the homestead in Ōpunakē. The homestead was something she created and we thought farming was the coolest life,” Raniera says. The ongoing commitment to deliver on kaitiakitanga aspirations is a key pou to the intergenerational success of PKW’s farming business. Shane Miles, Te Rau Whakahaumako / GM Ahuwhenua, says farming systems and methods are designed to achieve those outcomes.

“It’s such things as our farming methods (a key pou in the Kaitiakitanga Strategy), our investment in infrastructure, how we manage nutrients, effluent system upgrades, systems that significantly reduce our freshwater use. We’re doing things every day to manage how we interact with the environment we operate on. “Farming has come a long way in the last 20 years. New technology has come in to change practices significantly, and the understanding of how practices interact with the environment. For example, we have feed pads that helps us drive feed efficiency and profitability across our farms, but they also help minimise the impacts of soil damage at certain times of the year. “There’s no silver bullet but there are a whole lot of things that come into our decision making that benefit both the taiao and farming,” Shane says. Kaitiakitanga is integral to everything PKW does. For kaimahi Raniera and Tina, who are both parents of young tamariki, this means carrying on the legacy of their tupuna while forging a better future for the next generation. Tina puts it this way,

“I HOPE ONE DAY MY TAMARIKI AND MOKOPUNA CAN LOOK BACK AND BE PROUD OF THE MAHI THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY OUR KAIMAHI AND THOSE WHO PAVED THE WAY BEFORE US.” Tina Moeahu – Te Rau Whakauruora / Taiao Team

TE RAU HĪRI O TE PŪNGAO WHAKAHOU PKW’S HISTORY IN RENEWABLE ENERGY |

34 HE WHENUA


WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

Powering The Future He Tangata, He Whenua, He Oranga is at the heart of our purpose and inspires us to build towards a prosperous future enjoyed by our Rau Titikura and whānau. PKW takes an intergenerational approach and measures success by more than just numbers on the bottom line. This has been at the centre of our 50-year history. Today, these ideas sit at the heart of the organisation’s growing interest in renewable energy. “He Papa, He Tupu, He Ora, our long-term plan approved in 2023, identifies three strategic priorities: whenua, kai and energy. We’ve been quietly developing our interests in the renewable energy area recently because it fits well with where we want to go,” says Te Rau Matomato Aisha Ross.

“THE TRANSITION TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE, RENEWABLE ENERGY PRESENTS MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES AND POTENTIAL BENEFITS — TO ALL WITHIN AOTEAROA GENERALLY, BUT FOR OUR RAU TITIKURA AND WHĀNAU SPECIFICALLY.“ Aisha Ross – Te Rau Matomato, Chief Executive Officer

“As kaitiaki of whenua, being part of the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources makes sense. Renewable energy projects also present significant investment opportunities capable of delivering long-term financial returns and benefits for our Rau Titikura and whānau, and much-needed economic growth for the entire region.” “We’re working towards having influence in this area for this generation and future generations.” says Aisha. Our experience with energy As a major holder of whenua in the region, PKW has been involved with energy projects over many decades, but largely in a passive way. An example is the Waipipi Wind Farm between Patea and Waverley. Eight of the 31 turbines are on our whenua.

“Previously our involvement in these projects, whether traditional gas exploration or renewable energy generation, has been from the sidelines. Organisations have paid for whenua use, but we haven’t had a seat at the decision-making table or been in the position to achieve wider ongoing benefits and economic returns for our Rau Titikura and whānau” explains PKW Te Rau Hīri/General Manager Renewable Energy David Hendry. “It’s slowly changing. Some of the key inputs needed to develop a renewable energy project include whenua, putea, and an intergenerational investment perspective. We have these things so we are exploring what could be achieved by not being sidelined or passive” “We’ve been learning and understanding in this area for a bit now. Moving from being a passive landowner towards active ownership and operation of energy assets,” David says. From passive to partner The Incorporation’s involvement in the Kapuni Green Hydrogen project is one example of this changing approach. PKW is one of five partners (alongside Hiringa Energy, Ballance Agri-Nutrients, Todd and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment) involved with this project that goes beyond simply generating electricity. The renewable power generated will help produce green hydrogen, a clean fuel that transport and industry can use to decarbonise. For example, Ballance can use it to replace or augment the natural gas required to manufacture ammonia and urea, reducing the emissions from their fertiliser production. Civil works got underway after karakia with Ngāti Manuhikai and the whānau in March. Major turbine and electrolyser components are scheduled to arrive on-site soon with operations due to start in 2027.

PKW is also part of The Tōtara Energy LP (alongside five other Māori entities). The Māori-led, impact-driven investment consortium is focused on advancing the renewable energy future in Aotearoa through sustainable, long-term infrastructure investments. In 2025 Tōtara Energy acquired a strategic 30% stake in Pioneer Energy Group. A renewable energy generation and asset management company in Aotearoa owning and operating multiple wind farms and hydroelectric power stations nationwide. Pioneer Energy Group is also involved in industrial heat generation and organic waste-to-energy solutions via its Ecogas operation. They use anaerobic digestion (a natural process where micro-organisms break down organic waste like food scraps) to produce valuable resources: biogas and digestate (a nutrient-rich substance which is being used by farmers as a fertiliser). A bright future PKW is also actively exploring its own renewable energy projects. “We’re considering several solar projects that will achieve whenua optimisation through both electricity generation and sheep grazing. It’s very early days, but we estimate we could generate enough power for 8,500 homes,” says David. But energy generation is only one aspect of a larger renewable energy strategy. “Our aspirations are much larger than some solar panels or wind turbines on the whenua. As we build scale and diversity in this area, we will explore and develop other opportunities within our Korikori energy portfolio. “We’re engaging with distribution network owners and operators and large infrastructure users and looking at our long-term energy sovereignty. Anything we do needs to stack up commercially, but we are very keen to explore ways to support our whānau and improve energy security and affordability.”

For Māori, by Māori, with Māori As the Incorporation’s involvement in renewable energy grows, engagement with our Rau Titikura, hapū and iwi remains central.

“ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR PEOPLE IS A CORE PRINCIPLE AND THAT CONTINUES. HUI ARE AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LISTEN AND KŌRERO TO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO RAU TITIKURA, WHĀNAU, HAPŪ AND IWI.” David Hendry – PKW Te Rau Hīri/General Manager Renewable Energy

Patai and kōrero cover a range of kaupapa, including the potential effects of renewable energy projects on the environment, economic returns and access to and protection of whenua. Our whānau are very keen to understand the broader opportunities and benefits. “Our employment and procurement approach encourages whānau businesses to benefit from renewable energy projects, but the story is much wider. The decline of the oil and gas industry has had direct impacts on regional prosperity and employment opportunities. This isn’t just an energy transition, it’s an industry transition,” says David. For PKW, renewable energy is another way to invest in the future of whenua, our people and the wider Taranaki region. The mahi is still developing, but the direction is clear: to build an energy portfolio that creates long-term value and ensures our Rau Titikura and whānau benefit from the fruits of this opportunity as New Zealand continues its energy transition.

TE RAUTOI EXHIBITION AT TE HĀWERA COMMEMORATES 50 YEARS OF THE PKW INCORPORATION |

38 HE ORANGA


WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

The creative minds of those who brought the vision of Paraninihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation to life have transcended generations. This legacy was palpable at the recent Te Rautoi Exhibition, where ringatoi of their own kin gave insight into the PKW story and Taranaki whenua at the heart of its kaupapa. The exhibition was held at the Lysaght Watt Gallery, in Te Ramanui o Ruapūtahanga, Te Hāwera, from late June through August as a Rau Te Tai Ākina feature event.

Angela Kerehoma, Rangi Kipa, Darcy Nicholas, Hemi Sundgren, Dion Tuuta and Bonita Bigham. Through their unique artistic practices, each contributed to a common kōrero of identity, belonging, perseverance and hope. To access our digital exhibition catalogue please scan the QR code below

Te Rautoi curator Bonita Bigham (Ngāruahine, Te Atiawa) highlighted that connection was a consistent theme woven throughout the mahi toi, across a diverse range of mediums and genres.

“TE RAUTOI WAS THE MANIFESTATION OF OUR CONNECTION TO WHENUA, OUR CONNECTION TO EACH OTHER, THE WORK OF THE INCORPORATION AND ITS CELEBRATORY NATURE, COMMEMORATING 50 YEARS OF THE INCORPORATION BEING IN PLACE.” Bonita Bigham – Ngāruahine, Te Atiawa Artist and Curator

“We hoped people would come and be inspired. That they would be able to recognise themselves in different aspects of the mahi and just be able to connect on another level.” Bonita said. Te Rautoi was formed by the works of nine ringatoi, all of whom have personal connections to Taranaki whenua and PKW: Ngahina Hohaia, Reeve Hokopaura, Kim Kahu,

These themes took shape through pieces including kākahu, which reflect distinct whakapapa, values and haerenga of their bearers, while paper and canvas brought to life tūpuna ātua, tūpuna rangatira and the history of Taranaki whenua. Precious materials, including muka, pounamu, wood, whale bone, and niho parāoa, were transformed into works that symbolise raupatu, resistance, resilience, and recovery.

Elizabeth Harrison, curator at Lysaght Watt Gallery, said that around 1000 people visited Te Rautoi and that it succeeded in “challenging the public to look beyond and develop an awareness of culture and the environment, both social and creative.” Visitor responses extended from wonder to heartache. Many noted that it left them curious and wanting to know more.

“Exhibitions do not have to be comfortable, and for some this one wasn’t,” Elizabeth said. Within the confines of the gallery, Te Rautoi excelled in conveying the intimate depths of a story about a land so vast, steeped in a history that is both layered and complex. General response to the exhibition gave Bonita promising insight, as she recognised “that our people are always hungry to engage with celebratory things that highlight just how awesome we are and how connected we can be”. Te Rautoi illuminated the gravity between people and whenua, paying homage to the vision, purpose, pursuits and achievements of Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation, during a milestone anniversary. Through their works, the ringatoi inspired us to reflect on the history of this land and the incredible people who endeavoured for its protection. But they also made us look at the exhibition’s story as one of continuity.

It reinforced our intergenerational responsibility to keep this history alive and this kaupapa prosperous — A reality dependent on creative minds and tenacious spirits, like those who championed the establishment of PKW and the ringatoi who collaborated on Te Rautoi. “We carry our tupuna with us into the modern day,” Bonita says.

“WHEN WE DO THINGS LIKE THIS, I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT WE’RE LIVING UP TO THE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS THEY HAD FOR US AS THE FUTURE GENERATIONS, JUST LIKE WE LOOK TO SUPPORT THE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS FOR THE GENERATIONS TO COME.”

WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

“Kia ū koe ki tō marae, mā tō marae ka kitea koe he tangata.” Hold fast to your marae, for it is your marae that makes you a whole person. Coming Together, Coming Home On 18 July, the sound of waiata spilling across Urenui Pā heralded more than its reopening. It was an expression of the whakawhanaungatanga at the heart of Ngāti Mutunga’s Whakapakari te Kāinga revitalisation project. “This project was never simply about strengthening buildings. It was about strengthening us as Ngāti Mutunga — bringing our whānau together, deepening the bonds between us, and creating opportunities for our people to reconnect with our tikanga, our history, our whenua and our marae,” says Larnee Wallace from Ngāti Mutunga. “The waiata that welcomed manuhiri became a powerful expression of that reconnection. Just three months earlier, some of those whānau had never met one another, and some had never even set foot on this whenua.” “Through the project, new relationships were formed and a shared sense of belonging began to grow. By the time they stood together outside of Titohea, they were united through waiata, whakapapa and the stories of Ngāti Mutunga, carrying those stories forward together and creating a deeper connection to the whenua and to one another.” The works carried out during Whakapakari te Kāinga focused on improving connections across the site, as well as modernising facilities and communal spaces and increasing the functionality, safety and resilience of the pā. “One of the things whānau really wanted was more connection between the whare and the whenua,” says Brent Matuku, who has been involved since the project was first discussed in 2017. “With the exception of Mahi Tamariki, our ancestral meeting house, we were dealing with a bunch of colonial buildings that had been plonked on a paddock more than 100 years ago without much thought.” The redevelopment has brought the buildings into a more cohesive relationship with each other and the whenua. A new waharoa marks the entrance to the ātea, while the

three whare – Te Aroha, Mahi Tamariki and Titohea – now connect with the ātea, the tūpuna maunga and the moana. The steep slope of the pā has also been reshaped to improve accessibility. Design elements link the whare with each other and other buildings, including Puna Pipi, the new wānanga room transformed from the Skyline garage volunteers once used as their office while working on the Treaty settlement. Te Aroha itself has had a significant internal and external facelift. The project team worked hard to retain as much of the original building as possible, while adding practical improvements including heating and a new interior fit out. Elements that had deteriorated beyond use were buried and blessed, with plans for them to be recognised in the future landscaping. Brent and Larnee agree the hardest part of the project was having the marae closed for several years.

“URENUI PĀ IS THE MOST TANGIBLE CONNECTION A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TO BEING FROM NGĀTI MUTUNGA. THE MARAE TIES US BACK TO WHO WE ARE. BEING DISCONNECTED FROM SOMETHING THAT IS A BIG PART OF OUR IDENTITY HAS BEEN DIFFICULT.” Brent Matuku – Ngāti Mutunga Community Development Trust Kaitiaki, Whakapakiri te Kāinga board Chairperson and Urenui Pā Trustee.

“I think that’s why the opening went so well and why so many people were eager to be involved. There was a sense, maybe not quite of healing, but of people exhaling and going, ‘Ah yes, this is what I’ve missed.” says Brent. The project also created a pathway for whānau who had become less connected to the iwi, or who had not previously been involved, to find their way back and take part. Ten weeks before the reopening, a call went out inviting whānau to come together through waiata. “We had about 70 people turn up in the first week and 90 the next. We put videos online so whānau who were living outside Taranaki could learn the waiata and actions and be part of it alongside everyone else. New people kept joining in. It just continued to grow,” says Larnee.

Ahu te rau ki te poho o Te Aroha What began as an invitation to participate became something much bigger — a way for whānau to reconnect with one another, with the iwi and with the whenua. It created a space where people of all ages and from different places could contribute, learn and feel that they had a place within the kaupapa.

something to the group, whether it was knowledge, experience, confidence or simply a willingness to have a go and carry the kaupapa forward.” More than 500 people visited the pā on opening day. It was the culmination of months of planning, preparation and mahi, supported by a large team of volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the occasion possible.

The kaupapa extended beyond waiata. Whānau also came together for poi karakia, providing an opportunity for people who had never picked up poi before to learn, understand its significance and participate in the ceremonial aspects of the reopening.

“The number of people who put their hands up to come and participate as kaimahi was absolutely amazing. There was such a willingness to help and be part of the day.”

“It was beautiful to see the generations learning alongside each other. Whānau were teaching, guiding, encouraging and learning from one another. Everyone brought

Larnee says the significance of the day could be felt from the early hours of the morning, long before the first light appeared.

“It was a cold morning, we had fires burning and people gathered around them, catching up, sharing stories and waiting for the day to unfold. There was a real spiritual feel to the morning. It was almost as though the whenua itself was holding the moment. As the light began to come through, so did the sense of anticipation. People were ready to see the whare opened again, to hear the kōrero and to reconnect with a place that holds so much meaning for Ngāti Mutunga.”

Several months on, the energy of the reopening continues to be felt. The pā is once again providing a place for whānau to gather, share kōrero, participate in tikanga and strengthen their relationship with the marae, the whenua and with one another. What was once a place waiting to be reopened is now once again alive with whānau, activity and connection — carrying forward the wairua and stories of Ngāti Mutunga for generations to come.

“There was excitement, pride and, for many, a real sense of coming home. Everybody was just so happy that it was finally reopened and that we could once again gather there together,” says Larnee

PKW was proud to support the reopening of Urenui Marae. He Rautaki Manawaora 2026–2030 recognises marae as the heart of our communities, where whakapapa, tikanga and wairuatanga are nurtured and passed on. PKW has set a target of supporting at least 20 Taranaki marae by 2030, focusing on sustainable, future-ready marae that inspire pride, unity and purpose for their uri and mokopuna.

The occasion also brought whānau home from around the country, with many seeing the reopening as an opportunity to reconnect with the iwi, the whenua and each other. “There was something really special about seeing people come back, sharing the same space and discovering those connections. It reminded us that the pā is more than a physical place. It is a place where our stories, our whakapapa and our relationships come together.” she adds.

NGĀ HUA O TE RAU MĀHORAHORA GROWING A LEGACY FOR FUTURE PROSPERITY |

WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 50

A long-term wealth creation story built on prudent stewardship of our whenua assets, diversification, and intergenerational growth.

That proved to be successful, and the farming side of PKW was a significant contributor to the Incorporation’s growth, but also increased exposure to a single industry.

In 1976, our people valued retention of whenua and whakapapa, over dollars and cents.

“The old adage, putting all your eggs in one basket, did expose PKW to volatility from year to year,” says Jahron. “And so our focus has been to diversify our asset base so we were more resilient as a Māori owned business in an increasingly globalised and changeable world.”

While the Incorporation took guardianship of around 20,000 hectares of ancestral Taranaki land, much of it remained locked in perpetual leases, generating limited income and leaving little room to create the kind of prosperity its founders envisaged. Fifty years later, the financial picture is very different, with PKW’s asset base standing at $386.8m (as of 30 June 2026). But the measure remains the same – one of opportunity for future generations. Because the importance of that figure lies not simply in its size, but how it can be leveraged to sustain and provide. “PKW’s responsibility has always been to preserve and grow the asset base to provide meaningful benefits to our shareholders, as well as the wider Taranaki whānau, now and in the future,” says Jahron Neha, Te Rau Māhorahora/ GM Finance & Investments. “Over the past 50 years, there has been huge growth in that financial space.” Changes to the reserved land legislation in the 1990s were a major turning point, helping lift revenue streams and giving PKW greater ability to grow its asset base. “We’re always learning and looking for opportunities to improve. The learnings we’ve taken from investment decisions in the past, we’ve carried with us, and that has helped strengthen our commercial and corporate rigour.” Jahron describes it as a process of prudently building the asset base while also increasing the dividend returned to shareholders. “PKW was essentially thrust into the dairy farming scene when the opportunity arose to actively manage our own lands,” he says.

Diversification, he stresses, is not about leaving farming behind. “Farming remains a core asset within our asset portfolio. What we are doing is growing that portfolio so that we’re not overexposed in the dairy space.” “Our aim is to reduce volatility and provide steady revenue streams to support the organisation going forward.” Projects including the Korikori solar farm and the Tapuirau development represent a shift in how the Incorporation approaches opportunity, with a greater focus on active investment.

IT IS A SIGNIFICANT MOVE FROM THE HISTORICAL POSITION OF SIMPLY LEASING LAND TO OTHERS. THAT GREATER INVOLVEMENT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES NOT ONLY FOR STRONGER FINANCIAL RETURNS, BUT FOR PROCUREMENT, EMPLOYMENT, PARTNERSHIPS AND A DEEPER CONNECTION BETWEEN PKW, ITS PEOPLE, AND ITS WHENUA. Because while commercial success matters, Jahron is clear that PKW does not measure success purely in dollar terms. “Financial return and financial stability are not the sole drivers for us,” he says. “But they are an enabler for the aspirations of both PKW and our people.”

“At the time dairy farming was seen as the highest and best land use option, and so there was a strategy undertaken to build specialisation in that space.”

“Every dollar invested has the potential to return several different kinds of benefits whether it be through procurement opportunities, supporting the Taranaki Māori economy, enabling whānau to renew their connection to the land, not just to build the dividend payment.”

“Having such a long-term horizon when it comes to investment and capital allocation decisions means that we’re well placed to endure business cycles,” Jahron says. A business focused on shorter-term returns might look at a difficult regional economy and conclude it is the wrong time to invest. PKW can look further ahead.

Over the past five years the shareholder dividend has grown by over 50%, reaching $2.75 per share in the 2025 financial year.

“We see the generational benefit that these projects can have for our people.”

“We’re on a very steady but deliberate path to grow the Rau Titikura shareholder dividend.”

That long view extends far beyond the current executive or Committee of Management.

That sustained financial growth also supports cultural, educational, and social outcomes through Te Rau Manawaora o Parininihi ki Waitōtara / PKW Trust and its educational kaupapa.

“We realise that as an executive and as a board, we’re not going to be leading the waka for the next 50 years.

BUT THE KNOWLEDGE, INCOME, AND OPPORTUNITY THEY CREATE CAN STRENGTHEN THEIR WHĀNAU AND WIDER TARANAKI MĀORI COMMUNITY. It reflects a different investment horizon from many conventional businesses.

“Our responsibility is to focus on whatever the next term might be, whether it’s the next five years, the next ten years, and then ensure that we leave it in a good place for our future leaders to carry the mahi forward.” He believes those who fought for PKW’s establishment would look at today’s organisation with pride. “I’d like to think too that they would also feel a sense of validation for the advocacy and the fight that they had to endure,” he adds. Because while the numbers tell an extraordinary story of growth, beneath them is something timeless and even more enduring – the whenua. It was the foundation of PKW’s wealth in 1976. Fifty years later, it remains the foundation on which its future prosperity is being built. He tangata tōmua, he whenua tōmuri haere ake nei.

HE AHA RĀ NGĀ HUA O TE RIMA TEKAU TAU? Nā Te Hāpimana Taukē King

Kua rima tekau tau a Parininihi ki Waitōtara e kawe ana i te kaupapa i tuku iho ki a tātou. Kua kōrerotia ngā tai i ākingia, ngā taumahatanga i kawea, ngā tohe i tohea e mau tonu ai te whenua, e whai mana anō ai hoki ngā uri ki ngā taonga i waiho iho mā rātou. Engari, ka huri kē te titiro ki tēnei wā, ka tika pea te pātai – he aha rā ngā hua o aua tau e rima tekau? Tērā tonu te mahi hei wherawhera mā tātou. Kua tupu te rawa o PKW, kua whānui ngā mahi me ngā haumitanga, kua pakari ake te tū a te koporeihana, kua nui ake hoki tōna āheinga ki te whakahoki hua ki ngā Rau Titikura. Āe mārika - inā hoki, i ngā tau tōmua o te koporeihana, ko te nuinga o ngā rawa he pūtea, he haumitanga, me te uara o ngā whenua e rīhitia ana; nō muri mai ka tīmata te hoko pāmu, te whakawhānui i ngā mahi ahuwhenua me te whai wāhi ki ētahi atu kaupapa arumoni. Ko te āhua o PKW i tēnei rā, he hua nō te whakapau kaha, nō te whakatau i ngā whakatau uaua, nō te whakatipu i ngā mea i mau tonu ki a tātou. Heoi, ehara ngā hua katoa i te hua pūtea. Ka matai atu ki ngā Rau Mataora kua puta i ngā tau kua pahure. He nui ngā Rau Titikura kua whakawhiwhia ki ngā karahipi me ngā pūtea tautoko a PKW kia whai i ō rātou ake wawata. Kāore pea e taea te tatauria i te tino hua o aua kaupapa ki tōna utu. Ka whakawhiwhia te tangata ki te karahipi i tēnei tau, engari ko ngā hua o taua tautoko ka kitea peange ā ngā tau e heke mai ana, i te ara ka whāia e ia, i ngā pūkenga ka riro i a ia, i ngā kaupapa ka kawea e ia. Ka toro atu aua hua ki tua atu i te tangata kotahi, ki ngā wāhi katoa ka kawea e ia ōna pūkenga me tōna mātauranga. Ehara i te mea nā PKW ngā tutukitanga a aua Rau Mataora. Nā rātou anō. Nā tō rātou kaha, tō rātou manawanui me ō rātou ake wawata. Ko tā PKW, he whakawātea i te ara i te wā e tike, e taea ana, he tuku rauemi kia whānui ake ai ngā kōwhiringa kei

mua i te tangata. Koirā pea tētahi o ngā tino hua o te whakatipu rawa mō te rima tekau tau - kia kaua te rawa e noho hei rawa noa iho, engari kia puta i reira he āheinga e whai mana ai ngā Rau Titikura ki te whakatipu i a rātou anō, i runga anō i tā rātou i whiriwhiri ai. Ka hoki anō te whakaaro ki te ingoa nei, Rau Titikura. Ehara i te rārangi ingoa noa iho, ehara hoki i te hunga kua rēhitatia, kua tae ki te hui ā-tau, kua whiwhi pānga rānei i ngā tau kua pahure. Ka tupu tonu te whakapapa. Ka tokomaha haere ngā uri e heke iho ana i ngā tūpuna nō rātou ngā whenua i whakatūria ai tēnei kaupapa, ahakoa kua mōhio rātou ki taua hononga, kāore rānei. Kei reira tonu te mahi mā PKW - kia kaua e tupu noa te rawa, engari kia tupu anō tōna hononga ki te hunga nō rātou tonu te kaupapa. Nō reira, kāore pea e tika kia inea ngā tau e rima tekau nei ki te nui o te rawa anake. Me titiro hoki ki ngā mea kua taea e taua rawa te whakatupu. Ko ngā Rau Titikura kua whai wāhi, ko ngā Rau Mataora kua anga ki ō rātou ake huarahi, ko ngā hua ka rere tonu atu ki tua i a PKW. Kei te poari a Te Rau Rengarenga me ngā kaimahi o tēnei wā te haepapa kia kaha tonu te kaupapa, kia pakari tonu tōna tū, kia nui tonu ngā āheinga ka puta i reira. Ko taua mahi he mahi kawe tonu, kāore e mutu i te ekenga ki te rima tekau. Ā tōna wā, ka tae mai anō tētahi whakatipuranga me tōna titiro whakamuri. Kāore pea he aronga nōna ki te rahi o te rawa i tuhia ki Te Rau Aroha, te pūrongo o te tau 2026. Heoiti, ka mōhio rātou mēnā i whai take aua rawa ki te tangata, mēnā i kaha tonu te hononga ki te whenua i waiho iho mā rātou, mēnā hoki i whai wāhi rātou ki te whakatutuki i ō rātou ake wawata. Koirā pea te whakautu ki te pātai – he aha rā ngā hua o te rima tekau tau? Ehara i te mea kotahi. Kāore anō hoki kia mutu te hua mai.
