Ngāti Huri Pepeha:

Ko Tainui te Waka

Ko Waikato te Awa

Ko Wharepūhunga te Maunga

Ko Raukawa te Iwi

Ko Ngāti Huri te Hapū

Ko Pikitū te Marae

Pikitū Marae is the bastion of Ngāti Huri hapū at Te Waotū. It is situated some 4 kilometres east of the Waikato riverbank and 24 kilometres from both Putaruru (due northeast) and Tokoroa (due southeast). Proudly upheld by Ngāti Huri hapū it provides a significant sanctuary for its descendants and maintains a balance of peace and tranquillity between the people and the land. Rich in history, the drive to draw the whānau back to their roots and provide opportunities to live on their tūrangawaewae in an economically sustainable way has always been a constant desire throughout the generations.
