The Auckland Mataatua Society, also known as Mataatua Marae, was established on the 15th of May 1975. The establishment of this Society was the idea of the descendants of Ngati Awa who lived in Tamaki Makaurau and lwho saw the need to unite the descendents of Ngati Awa who travelled from the Bay of Plenty to Auckland.
The Society acquired it's land at 17 Killington Crescent Mangere in 1978 and in 1979 Mataatua Marae opened its doors to the descendents of Ngati Awa ki Tamaki Makaurau. David Lange, Minister of Parliament for Mangere at the time, opened the Marae at the pōwhiri. The vision of Auckland Mataatua Society is to be a fully functional marae offering educational, health and housing initiatives not only to Maori but to the many nationalities that utilise the marae. The marae is built on the foundations of tikanga maori employing the principals of manaaki (respect) aroha (love), whakapono( faith) and tumanako (charity).
