Helmut Modlik & Callum Katene on the return of Whitireia Maunga
Update: 2025-10-17
Description
Ngati Toa have regained land at Whitireia in Porirua 177 years after it was gifted to the Anglican Church under the promise that a school would be built for their children. But that promise was never honoured and the land was not returned to the iwi. Recently Tu Runanga o Toa Rangatira bought 53 hectares of land at Whitereia from Radio New Zealand and yesterday morning a ceremony was held to commemorate the return of their whenua. RNZ's Maori News Journalist Pokere Paewai was there and afterwards he sat down with the chair of Te Runanga o Toa Rangatira, Callum Katene, and the Kaihautu-Chief Executive, Helmut Modlik.
