Since the early 1800âs they have been hosting and welcoming guests into their homes and backyards, sharing insights into MÄori culture, as well as demonstrating the utilization of the natural geothermal wonders for cooking, bathing and heating. The continuing use of the natural geothermal landscape of the valley continues to delight and fascinate tourists visiting Whakarewarewa today.</p> 304<p>The people of TÅ«hourangi NgÄti WÄhiao have been the trail blazers of the tourism industry in Rotorua and New Zealand. It is our goal to continue the legacy and to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.</p> 305<h3>Our Purpose</h3> 306<p><em>“Rangatira for TÅ«hourangi NgÄti WÄhiaoâ</em></p> 307<p>We wish to be leaders for the TÅ«hourangi NgÄti WÄhiao people by preserving our culture and honouring the legacy of the generations that have come before. The people of TÅ«hourangi NgÄti WÄhiao have developed and lead the tourism industry in Rotorua and New Zealand for generations. It is our goal to continue the legacy and to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors. We hope to uphold this legacy through honouring the traditions of our people, which include the following principles:</p> 308<ul> 309<li><em>Kaitiakitanga</em> – Protector & Guardian of resources</li> 310<li><em>Manaakitanga</em> –
