Welcome to the website of Tapuika Iwi!
The website will be an important communication tool to update our iwi members on the latest events and happenings for Tapuika not only within the noho kainga but also nationally and globally.
Check out the Tapuika Calendar and Panui for the latest happenings.
For those of you who have events or item you wish to place on the panui board please send your information to info@tapuika.iwi.nz.
