Waka:Te Arawa
Rohe:Rotorua

Ngāti Whakaue is a Māori iwi, of the Te Arawa confederation of New Zealand, tracing its descent from Whakaue Kaipapa, son of Uenuku-kopakō, and grandson of Tūhourangi. The tribe lives in the Rotorua district and descends from the Arawa waka.[1] [2] The Ngāti Whakaue village Ōhinemutu is within the township of Rotorua. The Ngāti Whakaue chief Pūkākī is depicted on the New Zealand 20 cent coin.[3]

The Ngāti Whakaue Education Trust Board administers grants to a range of education projects,[4] and has been a source of funding for Rotorua Boys' High School, Rotorua Girls' High School, Rotorua Lakes High School and Western Heights High School since its establishment in 1881 under the Fenton Agreement.[5] [6] [7] [8] Revenues to the Trust derive primarily from commercial leases in the Rotorua CBD, which increased sharply upon the expiration of 99-year leases in 1980. In 2023, the Trust reported a net profit after tax of $9,004,155.[9]

Te Arawa FM is the radio station of Te Arawa iwi, including Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāti Pikiao and Tūhourangi. It was established in the early 1980s and became a charitable entity in November 1990.[10] The station underwent a major transformation in 1993, becoming Whanau FM.[11] One of the station's frequencies was taken over by Mai FM in 1998; the other became Pumanawa FM before later reverting to Te Arawa FM.[12] It is available on in Rotorua.[13]
