NZIIP acknowledges Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika and Ngāti Toa as mana whenua for the Parliamentary Precinct, which was integral to their marae prior to its re-appropriation as part of the establishment of Wellington. We are grateful for their support and guidance in making this event a possibility.
