We need to build our hapu contact list or database.

It is very important that you fill in a registration form so that we know how many we have in our Hapu and who they are. The numbers we have affects our claims for the land and the sea. If you would like to be part of the benefits from belonging to our hapu, then fill in the form below.

Email the form to Lara Clarke, Lara.Clarke@hnzc.co.nz or post it to her (see the form).

If you are unable to complete the whole form, then do as much as you can. We all have gaps in our whanau connections. Your information will be private unless you wish otherwise. It doesn't matter where you live, fill the forms in for you and your family. Make the hapu connection solid.

Fill in the form with these advantages in mind :

• for the future generations to know where they came from
• for ensuring a solid whanau base for your children and descendants
• for participating in the electronic hapu affairs
• for showing the hapu the skills we have
• for sharing in the benefits from any fisheries and land claims
• for participating in the development of economic activities in the district and elsewhere
