How We Check Your Whakapapa

All new registrations go through a validation process. Our Whakapapa Team will review and confirm your details.
Any applications not accepted will have the right to a review of that decision. Every attempt will be made to assist applicants who don't know their hapū or marae and to help identify their whakapapa and connections to Tūhourangi but please provide as much information as possible when you register including:
  • any records on your grandparents or tupuna owning shares in any Tūhourangi landblocks
  • following tātai lines back further back to tupuna names
