How to Subscribe to Raukawa's Iwi Newsletter and Access Its Resources

Updated

You can subscribe to Raukawa's Te Kakara Iwi Newsletter through two free options listed on raukawa.org.nz — a postal subscription or an email subscription — and you can access the organisation's wider resources and publications through the dedicated "Resources and Publications" section of the site. Both newsletter options are described as free, and the email option links to an external subscription form.

Subscribing to the Te Kakara Iwi Newsletter

The site presents the newsletter sign-up as a simple choice between two delivery methods:

Subscription type How it works Best for
Postal subscription Newsletter delivered to a physical address Those who prefer print or have limited internet access
Email subscription Sign-up via an external Mailchimp form Those who want fast, paperless delivery

The email subscription link points to a Mailchimp-hosted form (raukawa.us13.list-manage.com), which is a standard mailing-list platform. The site labels both options as a "free subscription," so there is no stated cost to receive the newsletter.

To subscribe by email:

  1. Go to the newsletter section of raukawa.org.nz.
  2. Select the email subscription option.
  3. You are taken to the Mailchimp form, where you enter your details and confirm.
  4. Expect to receive Te Kakara Iwi Newsletter issues by email.

To subscribe by post:

  1. Go to the same newsletter section.
  2. Select the postal subscription option.
  3. Provide your mailing address so the newsletter can be sent to you.

If you are unsure which option suits you, the email route is the faster to set up; the postal route suits anyone who wants a physical copy.

Accessing Resources and Publications

The site's main navigation includes a "Resources and Publications" section. This is the place to look for documents and materials the Trust publishes, alongside its "Our Story," "Our Mahi," and "Grants and Registrations" pages. The navigation also includes a "Store" section, which is separate from the free resources area — treat the Store as a place for purchasable items rather than free downloads.

A practical way to use these sections together:

  • Use Resources and Publications for reports, documents, and informational material.
  • Use Store if you are looking for items to buy.
  • Use Grants and Registrations if your interest is in applying for grants rather than reading publications.

What You Receive and How to Stay Updated

Subscribing to Te Kakara Iwi Newsletter keeps you informed about the organisation's activities, including its services and projects, which the site describes as aiming to achieve the collective aspirations of the iwi. The Trust also maintains an active presence on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook, so following those channels is an additional way to receive updates.

For anything not covered by the newsletter or the publications section, the site provides contact details for its offices, including a Tokoroa main office and branch offices in Putaruru, Te Awamutu, and Matamata, each with phone, fax, and email contacts and weekday opening hours. Note that some site content is marked "information coming soon," so if a section appears incomplete, contacting the office directly is the reliable fallback.
