Husband, father and Māngai protecting our sacred spaces while building Tiriti-centred futures for whānau and whenua.

Te Whatanui Skipwith (he/him) Ōtāhuhu

I am a husband, a father and a Māngai-leader who believes our role is to protect what our tūpuna left in our care. My work sits at the intersection of environmental protection, whānau development and constitutional transformation grounded in Matike Mai. I stand for tino rangatiratanga in action not just words, and for an economy that strengthens our small businesses while restoring te taiao. I believe tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti can move forward together, but only through honesty, courage and structural change that honours Te Tiriti.
