Introducing Te Kotahi a Tuhoe
In 2005 Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe (TKAT) was formed by mandate of the iwi. Ngā Rauru ō ngā Pōtiki (NRONP) and the Tūhoe Waikaremōana Trust Board (TWMTB) as two groups, came together with a willingness to co-operate on mandate and negotiation. Ngāi Tūhoe claims are currently represented by this combined group.
The consolidation of these two groups bring together a powerful political alliance in support of a strong mandate process leading to negotiations and a robust Treaty of Waitangi settlement for Tūhoe.

Mission
- Working with the whānau and hapū of Tūhoe to represent their interests accurately and comprehensively, whilst working toward the establishment of a new tribal entity, and the achievement of a full and enduring Treaty settlement with the Crown.
Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe Trust is an organisation created to umbrella, coordinate and facilitate the progression of Tūhoe's Treaty Settlement process, until such time that a new Iwi entity is formed to facilitate and manage Tūhoe Iwi affairs in full. It therefore has a finite life of 2-3 years, or until such time that the new entitiy is formed and in a position to take control.
Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe has emerged as a natural progression of Ngā Rauru o ngā Pōtiki and the Tūhoe Waikaremōana Trust Board, under the direction of Tūhoe iwi, working jointly on a range of Treaty Settlement and Iwi related projects.
