Ko Huiarau Infrastructure
The Ko Huiarau infrastructure is based on a two-tier system that forms an UPPER HOUSE and LOWER HOUSE.
The Upper House is made up of Ariki who whakapapa to the original ariki lines who protect the sovereignty and mandate that support and endorse the Taiopuru.
The Lower House is made up of the Rangatira who through whakapapa support Hapu and Iwi governance, and the election amongst themselves of representatives nominated to the Hapu Runanga (Local authorities), and onwards to Iwi Runanga (Tribal authorities) and finally onto the Runanga Ko Huiarau (National authority).
