Karanga, karanga ki a Rangi e tuu iho nei
Karanga, karanga ki a Papa e takoto ake nei
Kia rarau ngaa tapuwae a taangata
Putanga ariki
Tihei Mauriora.
Ki ngaa waka o Taranaki ki te Tonga.
Nau mai, haramai ki te kaupeka tono puutea nei.
Naau te rourou, naaku te rourou
Ka ora ai te iwi.
| As we call to Rangi above
And we call to Papa below
Thus, we gather the people
The leaders
So, we share the breath of life.
To the canoes of South Taranaki
Welcome to the new application period.
With your basket and mine
The people will prosper.

The purpose of the fund is to support local groups, such as marae committees and/or hapu, projects and initiatives that develop positive relationships between Tangata Whenua, Council and the people of South Taranaki.
Funding a project or initiative depends on available funding and the extent to which the project meets the overall objectives and criteria of the fund. In particular, the Iwi Liaison Committee would give consideration to marae, urupa/wahi tapu, whanau/safer communities, performing arts and visual arts type projects.
The 2019 Tangata Whenua Liaison Fund opened on Monday 4 February, and closed on 30 April 2019. All applications were considered by the Committee on Wednesday 5 June.
Details of the 2020 Tangata Whenua Liaison Fund will be released in early 2020.
