He Mihi
A welcome to the whānau.
Kia ora e te whānau,
Welcome to Te Papakāinga o Ngā Uri o Taumore. Whether you live close to the whenua or far from it, this is a place to stay connected to our tūpuna, our urupā and each other.
Taumore has been carried by generations of whānau, through hui, working bees and quiet acts of care. We are grateful to everyone who has helped keep this kaupapa alive.
Our responsibility is to the wider Taumore whānau, to the vision of our tūpuna, and to future generations. We look forward to building the future of Taumore together.
Ngā mihi,
Taumore Whānau
Ō Mātou Whenua
A place our whānau keep coming home to.
Taumore is a whānau place at Waitakaruru in the Hauraki district, home to our urupā and our whare. It connects many whānau lines through the tūpuna we share.
For decades whānau have looked after this place together, through hui, working bees, urupā care and small regular koha. That care carries on today.
Kaupapa
What we are working towards.
These are our hopes for Taumore. They are aspirations in progress, and each one will take time.
Protect the urupā
Look after our urupā and those who rest there, with care and respect.
Papakāinga housing
Explore homes on the whenua, so whānau can live close to each other and to this place.

Papakāinga Plan
A staged plan, still being shaped.
The whānau are working through a proposed plan in three stages.
01
Proposed
The essentials
Wastewater design first, then water, power and a plan for the site.
Concept image only. Not a final design.
02
Proposed
The whānau hub
A place for the whānau to gather, with a wharenui, kitchen and ablutions.
Concept image only. Not a final design.
03
Proposed
Homes
Papakāinga homes for whānau, in numbers and sizes still to be worked through.
Concept image only. Not a final design.
Every stage here is proposed and in development. Nothing is final.
Te Whenua
Our whānau, looking out over our whenua.
Ngā Taonga Tuku Iho
The tūpuna who connect us.
The whānau of Taumore descend from Hori Taumore and Rangihauata Te Muri, through the Castle whānau lines.
Hori Taumore
The tupuna whose name the whānau carries. His wife was Rangihauata Te Muri.
Rangihauata Te Muri
Their daughter Parewheuruangi Taumore married William Thomas Castle.
Thomas and Emily Roka Castle
Thomas was the son of Parewheuruangi and William. The Castle whānau lines descend from Thomas and Emily Roka.
Whakapapa is kept for whānau
