Traditionally our ancestral connection and our turangawaewae (connection to the whanau) for Taemaro Marae is

Ko Whakaangi te Maunga

Ko Taemaro te Moana

Ko Mamaru te Waka

Ko Te Parata te Rangatira

Ka moe ia i a Kahukuraariki

Ko Ngati Kahu ki Whangaroa te Iwi

Tradition tells us that Taemaro is recognised by the people of NgatiKahu as the “Garden of Eden” where out Tupuna (ancestral parents) first settled on their arrival in Aotearoa.

From our two ancestors descended the whanau, hapu and iwi who today are recognised as

Te Iwi o NgatiKahu ki Whangaroa
