Āwhitu Collective Honours all of these documents. Within them are the Tikanga that guide our choices as Sovereigns and as a Collective.

Āwhitu Collective have Proclaimed our alignment with te Hapu wakaminenga O Nu Tireni, our standing as a Collective and our recognition of He wakaputanga and Te Tiriti. In doing so we acknowledge not only our Right to be self-determining, but also the responsibility that comes with committing to live in Honour as Sovereign, our acknowledgment of the Ancestral Right of the Mana Whenua, and of aligning with the Hapu Tikanga.

The establishment of Āwhitu Collective is one way that we are enacting our self-determination so that we have choices outside of mainstream options while also offering the community the same opportunity to take responsibility for their own choices.
