PĀTAKA IKA
Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga is the Mandated Iwi Organisation for Ngāti Mutunga for Fisheries and has delegated this to Maruehi Fisheries Limited.
Through a relationship with Moana Fisheries, Maruehi is able to source fish at cost.
The primary purpose of the Ngāti Mutunga Pātaka Programme is to provide fish to Ngāti Mutunga iwi, marae, hapū, and whanau for non-commercial purposes.
Please note: The Pātaka is for charitable purposes only. Support will not be provided to ‘for profit’ events i.e. events or contributions to an event that will generate a private profit for an individual, business or other entity.
It is important to note that the Ngāti Mutunga Pātaka is for use within the rohe of Ngāti Mutunga in Taranaki. Consideration will be given outside of the rohe on a case-by-case basis.
All requests, with the exception of tangihanga, must be received at a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the planned event. Request to be made in writing/email and sent to office@Ngātimutunga.iwi.nz or Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Mutunga Office, 6 Ngakoti Street, Urenui. All written requests must include the following:
Please be aware that any requests without the above information will not be processed.

Constraining Distribution
From time to time, it may be necessary to constrain the amount of pātaka distributed through the Ngāti Mutunga Pātaka. Should this take effect the Ngāti Mutunga Office will endeavour that this is communicated clearly and in a timely manner to members.
Barter/Trade and Sale
Under no circumstances is any pātaka that has been accessed via the Ngāti Mutunga Pātaka to be bartered, traded or sold. Any cases discovered will impact on the ability of that person to request pātaka again.
