Rūnaka Membership

Membership of our Rūnaka is made up of individuals who are the uri (descendants) of the 1848 kaumatua of Kai Te Ruahikihiki and/or Kati Huirapa, or are the uri of those families included in the Native Reserves of the Araiteuru rohe who choose to affiliate through registration.

In order to apply for membership with Kati Huirapa Rūnaka you will need to fill in the Rūnaka Registration Application form and return to our office. The form will then go to our Registrations Committee for their consideration. When it is returned to us we will write to you to let you know the outcome. Click on this link registration form to download the application form or email georgina@puketeraki.nz. Once you have filled out the form (both sides including your whakapapa), please send to:
