Tama welcomes whānau, whānaui to the operations team
Over the past week the Ngāti Tama welcomed three new poumahi to the roles of Pou Ahurea, Te Pouawhina and Pou Taiao. Johannah and Jasmine La’auli were welcomed to the office last week with a mihi whakatau. Dayveen Stephens was welcomed into the tari today with a mihi whakatau, and will be introduced to the iwi later this week.
The inclusion of three poumahi into the team has grown the operations team to ten. In 2021, NTWT trustee’s approved the introduction of Te Pou Ahurea (Whānau Engagement Coordinator) to support our Ahurea priority to stimulate learners of Te Reo, tikanga and whakapapa. Jasmine joins the team as Te Pouwhenua due our recent pouawhina moving into the Data and Information space. Lastly, Dayveen joins our team as Te Pou Taiao and support our Ahuwhenua aspirations to enhance our significant lands and waterways.
Today, we introduce Jasmine and Johannah to ngā uri o Ngāti Tama.

He Mate: It is with sadness that we advise of the passing of John Tahana Ward-Holmes
He mihi maioha,
Tēnā koutou e te iti, e te rahi e whakarauika mai nei ki tēnei marae kōrero o Ngāti Tama. Tuatahi, me huri ō tātou ngākau ki te hunga kua nunumi atu ki te pō, haere, oti atu rā. Ko rātou te hunga wairua ki rātou, ko tātou ngā mahuetanga iho o rātou mā, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
Welcome to this platform to help us ‘hiki wairua’ – boost our spirits and encourage us to keep doing what we’re doing during this trying time of the Covid-19 lockdown. We will take this opportunity to provide ‘food for thought’ with some snippets from our local history in Te Tauihu, discussion about place names and customs, some Māori language tips, waiata and karakia.
Te Hiki Wairua o Ngāti Tama ki Te Tauihu gives whānau the opportunity to connect with their whakapapa and iwi through stories, information and teachings. This pānui will be a regular segment, each week focusing on different aspects of Ngāti Tama, we welcome whānau contribution.
