Trust to develop and support walking and cycling trails

By Olivia Murray

Supporting Māori culture and heritage through public access: Taranaki trails connect people to the mounga

The Taranaki Trails Trust, Ara Hononga o Taranaki officially launched in November 2020 with support from the NZ Walking Access Commission.

The trust’s role is to develop and support cycling and walking trails that create deep connections to the mana of the Taranaki mounga, and its region and people.

The trust was formed following the Taranaki Tracks and Trails Strategy which the commission helped develop with Sport Taranaki in 2019.

The strategy identified a lack of a body to manage the strategy strategically and logistically. The values of Ngāruahine, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Mutunga, Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi, Ngāti Ruanui, Ngāti Tama, Te Atiawa and Taranaki Iwi underpin that strategy.

Taranaki mounga has become a legal personality, with joint responsibility shared between local tangata whenua and the government.

The process of managing the trails strategy includes consulting with the eight local iwi and rangatira. Together they agree on how the trail can be a space for not only exercise and wellbeing but also a journey where people can learn and understand more about the local Māori history behind the whenua.

The strategy includes a project to encourage all local high school students to complete a journey around the mounga where they visit marae and learn about manawhenua, kaitiakitanga, biodiversity, history and discovery.

A few miles south, the Ōpunake Loop Trail is a significant hīkoi with a new extension. Our regional field advisor supported the development of the track extension which opened this year. Taranaki Iwi wish to tell its stories along the trail to support Māori culture and heritage.

We are looking at ways we can help advance this project. We have helped fund signs that highlight significant places to local hapū, such as Te Namu Pā where Wiremu Kingi Matakatea repelled 800 Waikato Māori successfully for an entire month, armed only with a single rifle.
