Te Nehenehenui follows the below structure. The official names of Te Nehenehenui arms were presented to and approved by the Kaumātua Kaunihera, to symbolise the whenua that connects the entity to the land and our history.
AHUAHU GROUP LIMITED
The commercial arm, Ahuahu Group Ltd is focused on protecting and growing the pūtea for the benefit of all, ensuring our commercial assets work hard on behalf of everyone.
“Ahuahu” is the traditional name for the settlement of Te Waitere, a small settlement located on the southern shores of Kāwhia Harbour. Ahuahu was known as a place of cultivation and international trades.
Ahuahu – Meaning to heap up / earth up, symbolises the historical cultivation traditions of the region.
WAIHIKURANGI TRUST
The charitable arm, Waihikurangi Trust, is focused on our people, marae, social services, community, education and cultural aspirations.
The name Waihikurangi acknowledges three landmarks of significance for us:
Ōmarueke, the birthplace of Maniapoto;
Hikurangi, the former Pā of Rereahu; and
Rangiātea, an ancient wānanga and Pā where Tūrongo and Māhina-a-rangi resided.
We have developed a brand that reflects the genesis of Te Nehenehenui.
Nehenehenui is synonymous with the people of Ngāti Maniapoto me ōna hapū maha. Emanating from the uncharted nirvana of panoramic beauty, the logo illustrates its origins and the kinship of our people to the land. Ranginui is personified to the right and Papatūānuku to the left.
The aquatic and emerald lines signify the brand’s connection to our ecosystems, geographical pillars, our people of home and of the world. This modern interpretation of our past imbues the importance of unity and identity. The design was presented to our whānau for feedback, during the engagement hui.
