Iwi Activities - Sport

A partnership between Sport HB and Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated was initiated in 1999 with the Kahungunu Maori Sports Awards held at Matahiwi Marae. The relationship has grown from that time to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the two parties at Waipatu Marae mid 2001. The Ngati Kahungunu Sports Awards have been announced a success and a positive focus for the iwi to portray Kahungunu role models and achievements.

The Iwi are part of the Roopu Manaaki Support Group to develop programmes within the community alongside the Sport HB. Te Rangi Huata and Robert Ropiha are our representatives within this area. Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated provides sponsorship to registered members who represent Ngati Kahungunu in national tournaments/events and those who represent New Zealand in international tournaments/events.
