WAIRARAPA HAPŪ IN RACE TO BUY BACK ANCESTRAL LAND
A Wairarapa hapū is racing against time to raise enough money to buy back land their ancestors were born on - but the tender closes today.
Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia wants to buy 182 hectares of Wairarapa land alongside the Waiohine river to recreate a hub for its people.
But the Givealittle has raised $146,403 in just five days.
But if they cannot buy the land, the funds won't go to waste. A statement on the Givealittle page clarifies if the sale falls through, all donations will be put into a trust for Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia.
This will be used for purchasing another parcel of land at a later date…….
