You register as a Ngāti Hei ki Wharekaho iwi member using this website. Click the Register button and then choose Register as an Iwi Member.
As part of the registration you will need to know your Ngāti Hei whakapapa back to one of our known and accepted Most Recent Common Ancestors (c.1890). These are provided on the registration form. If you believe you whakapapa to Ngāti Hei, but not through one of these known whānau lines, then you will need to get in touch with us to provide more detailed whakapapa that substantiates this whakapapa connection.
Your completed registration will go through to our whakapapa validation committee. You will also be asked to send proof of identity in the form of a Passport or Drivers License (PDF or JPG) to our administrative team.
Once your registration is accepted you will be able to log in to this website and maintain your own entry on the Iwi Roll. This includes contact details and whakapapa. You’ll also get access to the Iwi Directory and iwi restricted content.
For carers of disabled or elderly whānau: If you have kaumātua or a disabled person under your care (with Enduring Power of Attorney or otherwise) you can register for them and manage their online entry on the iwi tribal register. The easiest way to accomplish this is to create an email alias for them. An email alias is a second email that gets automatically delivered to your email. Gmail, Hotmail and other providers all support this feature and have help articles in how to set them up. You can not use your email for them as emails need to be unique to the individual registrant.
