Te Whāriki Tautoko started in the Waikato in 1993 over the years it fluctuated with members coming and going. To date six branches throughout Aotearoa have been established including Te Whāriki Tautoko ō Kirikiriroa. In 2011, Te Whāriki Tautoko ō Kirikiriroa sprung back into life through the determination of its members. Although the growth of memberships has been slow, the current members are keen to increase memberships and to set down a strong foundation here in Kirikiriroa.
