Who we are

Te Ātiawa ki te Upoko o te Ika a Māui Pōtiki Trust serves as the Mandated Iwi Organisation for the purposes of the Maori Fisheries Act 2004 and to act as the Iwi Aquaculture Organisation for the purpose of the Maori Commercial Aquaculture Claims Settlement Act 2004. In addition, the Trust represents the interests of uri for the purposes of the Resource Management Act 1991 in relation to marine, coast and waterways (including lakes, rivers and streams).

We administer the fisheries settlement on behalf of Te Āti Awa ki te Upoko o Te Ika and represent interests in relation to mana moana (interests of Te Āti Awa in relation to matters that impact fisheries in both freshwater and ocean environments).

Te Ātiawa ki te Upoko o te Ika a Māui Pōtiki Trust Group consists of charitable entities which benefit from Ātiawa Nui Tonu Fisheries Limited.

These benefits extend to the wider community and the three marae; Waiwhetū, Pipitea and Te Tatau o te Pō.

This knowledge has been encapsulated into the whenua and moana surrounding the Whanganui a Tara region.

Mai i enei hinonga tarahiti e rua ka ora te iwi.   

From these two trust entities the people prosper.
