Only Auckland iwi without a marae, have council funding granted
Kia ora neighbours, an iwi who have been without a marae for decades are a step closer to rebuilding on ancestral land.
Te Kawerau ā Maki have been without a formal marae and papakāinga since the mid-twentieth century when their remaining land was sold.
Edward Ashby, Te Kawerau ā Maki trustee said a marae based at Te Henga/Bethells Beach, where the iwi hold mana whenua status, was washed away by floodwater in the 1920s and remaining land was sold in the 1950s.
At the start of August, Auckland Council granted $142,500 worth of funding for the project which Ashby said would help take things forward to the final design.
