Whakarewa Flag Survey 2025 (members only)

We’re excited to share that a flag design is being proposed to honour whānau knowledge of our customary pā sites, and to celebrate the whakapapa connecting our people to the whenua. As we look to raise a pou haki, we want to hear from you about what flag would best represent us at this special place. Flags are powerful symbols of identity and belonging and have long been important to the Whakarewa people since arriving in Motueka.

We invite you to take part in our survey and share your thoughts on what an appropriate flag for Te Uma could be. Your voice matters—let’s create something meaningful together for our community!
