He Maunga Ka Taea - Let's get Kahurānaki back into Māori Ownership

E te iwi, the time is now!

Our maunga Kahurānaki is up for tender.

Recent statistics show that the Māori economy has grown to $32 billion

Now, we have the opportunity to bring Kahurānaki maunga back into Māori ownership. Together, we can make this a reality.

We are looking at a toa takitini "crowdfunding" approach which allows us to raise pūtea without relying on traditional funding sources. We are seeking the support of every day whānau to jump on the kaupapa and collectively contribute to the return of Kahurānaki to it's descendants. 

We can & we will show our tamariki that it's possible to reclaim whenua, one maunga at a time.

How can you help?

If 40,000 people contribute $300, we will reach our goal. Whether as an individual or a whānau, every koha counts!

Other ways to support:

✔ Host a fundraiser—as a whānau, marae, kura, kapa haka, sports team, or community group

✔ Follow & share—help spread the word across your networks

✔ Stay connected—keep an eye on our social media for fundraising opportunities


Please note that all koha received are for non-profit purposes only. Your contribution will be used solely to support the return of Kahurānaki Maunga to it's descendants and no part of the funds will be used for personal or individual gain. We are committed to transparency and accountability in the use of all koha/donations.

If you wish to speak to someone directly please contact Kelly-Aroha Huata via email; Hemaungakataea@gmail.com.

In the event our purchase of Kahurānaki is unsuccessful all koha excluding any fees/transaction fees will be returned to the card that made each deposit. 

We got this—whitiki tauā! ⚔️
