Rangatiratanga has a wide number of meanings, covering everything from leadership to authority to autonomy. Ngāti Kahungunu chairman Ngahiwi Tomoana said it would be a consolidated claim, but with Ngāti Kahungunu s own “individual takes on it”. He said the iwi had seen traditional waterways and water bodies in its rohe degraded over time through government inaction, along with overallocation, and lack of environmental protections, including the 2016 Havelock North gastro outbreak. “These issues can be addressed only through direct engagement between the Crown and the iwi whose freshwater are most affected by years of neglect,” Tomoana said.

Ngāti Kahungunu has joined Ngāi Tahu in court action seeking to share control and management of freshwater with the Crown.
The iwi are working together to have Ngāti Kahungunu s rangatiratanga over freshwater recognised, including at the Mohaka River in Hawke s Bay.
Rangatiratanga over water means the local iwi has rights, responsibilities and obligations relating to the freshwater in its takiwā, including doing what it can to stop the degradation of waterways and the environment.
