The people of Ngati Whatua Orakei are a hapu (sub-tribe), of the Ngati Whatua iwi (tribe) based in New Zealand’s largest city, Tamaki Makaurau, commonly known as Auckland.
Whilst we number over 5000 people scattered throughout the world our home fires our home-fires are centred around the Orakei Marae, a mere 10 minutes from the central business district of Auckland.
Our involvement in the community includes our operation of Orakei Health Services, a community-minded general practice, and also Orakei Marae which is available to be used for a range of community events.
