Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if I am eligible?

    If you descend from our Ngāi Tai ancestor Te Whatatau (Te Whataatao) or a recognised ancestor from Ngāti Te Raukohekohe, Ngāti Kōhua, Ngāti Rangitawhia including the following groups Ngāti Taimanawaiti, Ngāti Taihaua and Te Uri o Te Ao then you are eligible.

  • Why should I register?

    Once registered and validated, you will then be able to participate in voting matters, keep up to date with events and benefit from our settlement. All Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki who fit the above criteria have this right.

  • How can I tell if I whakapapa to Te Whatatau or a recognised ancestor from Ngāti Te Raukohekohe, Ngāti Kōhua, Ngāti Rangitawhia including the following groups Ngāti Taimanawaiti, Ngāti Taihaua and Te Uri o Te Ao?

    Usually through whanau links. The best way, if you are unsure, is to ask around your whanau or a kaumatua and find out a little more about your family history.

  • How old do I have to be?

    People who whakapapa to Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki should be registered regardless of age. If you are over 18 then you will need to fill in your own form. Anyone under 18 will need to be on their parents form. There is a special section for children under 18 on the registration form.

  • Can I register with more then one iwi?

    Yes, in fact a most of us identify with atleast 2 tribes and are already registered with other organisations.

  • What if I am unsure whether I am already registered?

    Please contact the Tribal Register Officer at register@ngaitaitamaki.iwi.nz

  • Is this the same tribe as Ngāi Tai of Torere?

    No. Although we have very strong links this website and our beneficiary roll are maintained and administered by Ngāi Tai of Tāmaki through the Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Trust.

  • If I am registered with Ngāi Tai of Torere should I register with Ngāi Tai of Tāmaki?

    You must show that you whakapapa to the Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki eligibility criteria set out above. If you do then you should register with us also. Being registered on one roll does not mean you are automatically on the other roll.

  • I've registered, what next?

    All applications need to be endorsed by the board. This means that the board will use the details of your whakapapa to validate your registration. Therefore it is very important that you fill out your whakapapa to the best of your ability. Once validated you will receive a confirmation email outlining the details of your registration. All information held by the board is strictly confidential and used only for matters relating to your registration.

  • Does that mean I can vote on iwi issues?

    Voting on iwi issues is up to you. You must be 18 years or over and you must have a validated registration.

  • I am still unsure, how can I find out more about this registration process?
