• A Hui-ā-Motu was hosted by Kiingi Tuheitia at Turangawaewae, Ngaruawahia on 20 January with an overwhelming turnout of over 10,000 people in attendance. The overall key message received at the Hui-ā-Motu was that we work together – Kotahitanga. Iwi were encouraged to collectively take their concerns to the Ratana Pa - 25 January Celebrations and to the Waitangi Day Celebrations in Waitangi. An overwhelming clear message resounded at each event where iwi leaders spoke unitedly.

• On 22 February 2024 the National Iwi Chairs Forum (NICF) met in Te Arawa for a Rangatiratanga Wānanga. Among other things, the leaders held a 'Tino Rangatiratanga' session and what this looks like in 2024. A summary of notes can be attained. Communication was highlighted as an area to improve and support whānau, hapū, iwi to help educate and further collectivise the knowledge base and efforts, and also to ensure information is shared across the nation.

• A Hui Taumata will be held in Ngāti Kahungunu on 31 May 2024 hosted by Omāhu Marae to identify solutions for Māori Unity - Kotahitanga.
