Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou extend a warm invitation to members of Ngāi Tahu whānui who have an interest in discussing and reviewing the “Charter of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu” – the underpinning principles, performances and nature of the “contract” between the “members” and “Te Rūnanga.”
The Charter of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu was signed by the “members” representatives at Riverton in 1993, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu was created via legislation in 1996 and almost 20 years later it seems timely to take stock and engage on the Charter that is in effect a contract (clause 4. The Charter constitutes a contract between Te Rūnanga and the Members and between each of the Members and the other Members. It is enforceable by law by Te Rūnanga and each of the Members) The Members are each of the 18 Papatipu Rūnanga.
