Mariameno Kapa-Kīngi was born and raised in Te Tai Tokerau and has committed most of her life and mahi to the growth and prosperity of her rohe, all in the name of tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake.

Mariameno specialises in iwi and hapū health and economic growth. She has decades of experience in iwi social services and governance.

Mariameno is dedicated to the health and wealth of whānau - this means our babies being safe with their whānau, living in warm and dry homes, with equitable access to education, opportunity, and the freedom to be fully Māori.
