TE RAU KARERE

EDITORIAL

Tēnā koutou

Working in partnership with other hapū, iwi, groups, businesses, and organisations is an important strategic consideration for us as an incorporation.

It allows us to leverage what we have been provided with by our owners – whenua; along with the skills and knowledge built up over time – to greater effect, delivering results beyond what we would be able to achieve on our own.

In fact, it is such a central element to our kaupapa that building trusted relationships and working together, and a belief in the power of collective action, are two of our core values – Kotahitanga and Whanaungatanga.

Sustainability, environmental responsibility, a focus on the future and the ability to enable others to be part of the growth and success of our endeavours are essential elements of our approach to any enterprise. These touchpoints, along with others, make up Te Ara Putanga, our outcomes pathway tool, which guides us in our mahi.

Our latest investment enterprise, Miraka Hipi, is a perfect example of what can be achieved through strong partnerships and meaningful relationships. Our connection to the Spring Sheep Milk Co. has been crucial to this exciting new venture and I am very pleased that tankers full of PKW sheep milk are now traversing Taranaki.

Our growth strategy for this part of the business very much involves whānau, hapū and iwi across the rohe – find out more in the articles in this latest edition of Whenua.

Important conversations have been reignited among kaitiaki whenua from all corners of the rohe to share mātauranga taiao for Taranaki whenua.

KIA TAIAO TE KURA, KIA TAIAO TE REO, KIA TAIAO TE MOURI TANGATA WHENUA PKW TRUST HOSTS INAUGURAL KURATAIAO
HE TANGATA | 7 WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40

About 100 environmental kaimahi, and members of the many Taiao teams recently established around Taranaki maunga, came together during Puanga for a three-day kurataiao to share their insights and experiences. He Kurataiao was organised by Te Manawaora o Parininihi ki Waitōtara / PKW Trust to bring kaitiaki whenua together for discussion and strategic planning around environmental care and protection.

“He Kurataiao is a concept borne out of the need for Taranaki Māori to engage with te taiao and make it their kura,” says Te Rautitikura / General Manager Shareholder Engagement Puna Wano-Bryant. “It was designed by Tonga Karena and I to enable Taranaki Māori to come together to share knowledge and maintain our Taranakitanga in the taiao space.”

According to one school of learning in Taranaki, ‘kura’ refers to the sacred talisman obtained by Te Moungaroa, his extraordinary resilience to find the kura and then become the kura, alluding to the process of learning and knowledge building. This tūpuna wisdom and other Taranaki-centric mātauranga was shared by Tonga Karena, Te Rau Whakaihoiho / Kaitiakitanga Strategy Manager throughout the Kurataiao.

Puna says the inaugural He Kurataiao in June was an opportunity to “whakakaupapa i te kotahitanga, to unite and consolidate our efforts”.

“All the taiao teams came together just to be together, to get to know one another, share in each other’s knowledge and

extend our own knowledge. Everyone came with something to offer, and everyone went away with something new.”

“As Māori organisations, it is imperative that we are always learning and building upon our knowledge of kaitiakitanga. We are also striving to build dialogue across the various disciplines in this area and find the potential areas of convergence and synergy.”

“During those three days we were thinking as one, doing as one. Because of the momentum it has created, it will continue into the future – Parininihi ki Waitōtara Trust will commit to it every year.”

Keynote speaker Dr Gail Tipa spoke on the interface between indigeneity and environmental decision-making. Other speakers included Te Poihi Campbell on rāhui; Dion Luke on attitudes and values in environmental legislation, policy and planning; Sarah Mako on engaging with government; and Taipuni Ruakere on GIS (geographic information systems).

In Kia Taiao Te Reo – a series of full-immersion te reo Māori sessions – Dr Ruakere Hond spoke about te reo o Rongo, Te Ingo Ngaia talked about te reo taiao o Taranaki mounga and Tonga Karena discussed te mouri o te reo Māori. Key points of discussion included the alignment of te ao Māori and science, incorporating cultural values into planning processes and environmental policies, commercial models, the challenges Māori face in environmental planning, and the critical sustainability of taiao teams on the ground.

WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40 8 | HE TANGATA

“We heard from planners in the strategic policy space on the overwhelming amount of policy and planning tools, just in the regulatory space alone. Being unified in our thinking and response as Taranaki Māori to those big issues is critical,” Puna says.

“We’ve been talking for a long time about having a centralised Taranaki environmental team of scientists and technicians to respond to collective Taranaki issues and empower iwi and hapū to respond to their specific issues.”

Climate change was an underlying theme throughout the event, with taiao teams and environmental monitors sharing their observations and experiences, including tidal changes, piharau not running when they should be, and other environmental indicators.

Puna says these observations were noted with concern. She says a Parininihi ki Waitōtara climate change response strategy is being developed and should be delivered before the end of the year.

He Kurataiao also helped address Parininihi ki Waitōtara Trust’s commitment to working more closely with hapū and iwi.

“Hosting He Kurataiao was a way for hapū and iwi representatives to see how we at Parininihi ki Waitōtara work, how we are and who we are. There were some natural, gentle relationships forged because people could see us as Taranaki Māori who work within Parininihi ki Waitōtara.”

“During those three days we were thinking as one, doing as one. Because of the momentum it has created, it will continue into the future – Parininihi ki Waitōtara Trust will commit to it every year.”

TŪTAPA KI RUNGA, TŪTAPA KI RARO, TŪ MAI RĀ TE PITO O TE ORA KIA MĀHORAHORA TE PITO WHENUA NEW NAME AND NEW APPROACH FOR PKW’S LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN 12 | HE WHENUA WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40

A ‘deep dive’ re-assessment of how its 360 parcels of land are being utilised will be an important step in charting the future for Parininihi ki Waitōtara (PKW).

Richard Buttimore, Te Rau Whakahono Pito / General Manager Property, has been engaged with the organisation’s Land Management Plan for well over a year, and says it should be ready for implementation by the end of the year.

A draft whenua policy statement has been prepared which will be put before the Audit and Risk Committee and the Committee of Management for approval.

“The process is drawing to an end,” says Richard. “There are a few formalities and a few things to finalise with possibly some amendments to shape the final plan.”

The mahi has involved a significant workload for Richard and has seen him out and about across PKW’s 21,000 hectares of land. He has also made use of online tools as he assessed how various areas can be developed to provide the best outcome for the organisation.

While the final plan will be a high-level strategic document, he has done ‘a deep dive on each individual parcel’.

A classification matrix has been used to assess each section, but for Richard it is about asking the fundamental question of ‘What is the best use for this land? What could it become?’

The Land Management Plan has been named Whakahonoa te Pito to reflect the responsibility of PKW to restore and preserve the connection between shareholders, their whānau and their whenua tūpuna.

“This builds off the tradition of burying the whenua (afterbirth) to strengthen whakapapa links to the land, so the name aspires to regenerate and revitalise the shareholders’ connection through whakapapa kōrero and whakapapa tangata.”

The original Land Management Plan – which is still operative, though with some adjustments over the years – was put together in 1998.

“That plan was premised on dairy farming which was the key area of business growth at the time. Of course, we still

do that, and we are good at it, but now we are looking at a number of alternative options for land use.”

Diversification has become a significant focus for PKW with forestry, horticulture, apiculture and alternative sources of energy – solar and wind power – all on the radar.

An important aspect of Whakahonoa te Pito, says Richard, is identifying priority leasehold parcels of land to buy.

“We are looking at future acquisitions and which leasehold parcels should be prioritised for acquisition that will add material value to the Incorporation in the medium to long term.”

“Owning all of the leasehold interests over our Corpus Whenua is still the intergenerational goal, but we have limited capital and cannot buy them all in the short to medium term.”

Environmental factors have a major part to play.

“Sustainability is an important lens. We are assessing what is the best use for the land … what it can sustain; what purpose each parcel of land can best support.”

“As an Incorporation, we are also working through a climate change resilience plan and that could influence which land use direction we take.”

“And, of course, we consider what income the land will generate, so the commercial viewpoint is a key focus.”

“Owning all of the leasehold interests over our Corpus Whenua is still the intergenerational goal, but we have limited capital and cannot buy them all in the short to medium term.”

35 Leach Street New Plymouth 4310 Taranaki New Zealand Freepost Authority Number 238821 Parininihi Ki Waitotara Incorporation

HE AROTAKE I NGĀ TOENGA WHENUA O PKW CORPUS WHENUA RENT REVIEW

The latest rent review for the Parininihi ki Waitōtara (PKW) corpus whenua began in mid-August with the first property inspections completed by the valuers.

The review covers the entire corpus whenua portfolio of 20,000 hectares. It is intended to recognise any growth in value that has occurred over the previous seven years.

It is a significant piece of mahi, says Richard Buttimore, Te Rau Whakahono Pito / General Manager Property, with the corpus whenua portfolio currently realising $9 million each year for the Incorporation.

The rent review process is governed by the Māori Reserved Land Amendment Act 1997, which changed the frequency of reviews from every 21 years to every seven years, as well as giving Māori land owners the first right to buy any leasehold titles coming on to the open market. The vast majority of rents under the current review will come into force on 1 January, 2024.

The lengthy process involves visits to every property, and Richard expects all inspections to be completed by September 2023, before the presentation of a draft report.

The rent assessment is based on the value of the land in its original state in 1892 when settlement reserves were set aside for the return of land confiscated from Taranaki Māori. Making such assessments on the original value and any subsequent growth is a complex and sometimes contested issue.

Third parties hold the lease on more than 270 parcels of land, and so negotiation with them is necessary to achieve a fair rent.

The majority of these third parties are members of the West Coast Settlement Reserves Lessee Association, and Richard says a collegial approach with the lessees helps smooth the process, with both parties appointing a valuer to make the inspections.

“The reality is that we are in a partnership with the lessees – we have a commercial relationship with them – and so the collegial approach is key in working out any issues and overcoming them.”

Past reviews have seen Ranald Gordon act as valuer for the Incorporation. Now that Ranald has retired, PKW has appointed two external valuers to represent its interests.

“We went through a robust process to find our valuers. They both have had a lot of experience in this kind of work, having acted for other Māori incorporations and entities in Wakatū, Te Tai o Poutini, Tairāwhiti and te puku o te ika,” says Richard.

The valuation process looks at the current market value of a property (both the leasehold title and the underlying Māori freehold title) and then deducts any improvements on the whenua (dwellings, cowsheds, fences) and then any improvements to the whenua (clearing, drainage, contouring) to establish the value of the unimproved, underlying whenua on which the rent is based.

“The collegial approach does not guarantee the parties will agree on a fair annual rent, but it will identify the areas where we cannot agree and allow us an avenue to attempt to resolve these constructively.”

In the event a rental figure cannot be agreed upon, the matter would go to third-party arbitration by an independent body.

“The reality is that we are in a partnership with the lessees – we have a commercial relationship with them – and so the collegial approach is key in working out any issues and overcoming them.”

HORAHIA TE KAHU TŌMAIRANGI O ŌKAHU, INUMIA TE WAI PATA UA O INUAWAI NEW HORIZONS COULD HELP BRING ŌKAHU INUAWAI URI HOME Exploring the potential of miraka hipi – sheep dairying – is opening up new possibilities for hapū. Moana Ellis talks to Ōkahu Inuawai pahake John Hooker. WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40 20 | HE WHENUA
WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40 HE WHENUA | 21

The relationship between Ngāruahine hapū Ōkahu Inuawai (me ētehi atu), of Aotearoa Pā, and Parininihi ki Waitōtara has not always been easy – in fact, at times it’s been a challenge for all.

“Like any relationship, it requires work as it evolves,” says pahake John Hooker.

“We’ve always had a relationship with Parininihi ki Waitōtara. We’ve interacted on a range of platforms over the years. As a hapū and uri, we’ve supported their intention to actively engage and take a land-based approach, and we have generally had a good relationship with their governors and personnel over the years.

“We like that many of their values and aspects of their approach reflect our values – for example, they have quite a strong taiao / kaitiaki lens that our hapū really supports because Ōkahu runs its own taiao environmental unit. The strides Parininihi ki Waitōtara has taken in the environmental area these last 3-4 years really strike a note with us, such as planting along the awa, putting shed water recycling units on some of their big dairy farms, and the willingness to invest in the environment.”

But it hasn’t all been a bed of roses. In the past, there has been protest and angst.

“From time to time, we have clashed – around our waahi tapu, for example. But Parininihi ki Waitōtara has been honest and upfront in their dealings with us and we’ve come up with a robust process to mitigate these problems going forward into the future, with the utilisation of hapū observers to ensure any works occur under our eyes. We enjoy joint wānanga from time to time to flesh each kaupapa out.”

After decades of determined effort, and frank and open kōrero, the relationship has turned a corner, with the hapū fully involved in the incorporation’s new diversification venture.

John says a good joint hapū-incorporation approach is in place for activities involving Ōkahu Inuawai whenua, including the development of two new miraka hipi farms.

“We view the whenua as being ours – it is part of our original Inuawai block, part of our tūrangawaewae – and this is acknowledged in how some of our values have been reflected in the new venture.”

That includes the sourcing of mouri stones collected from areas of significance to both Parininihi ki Waitōtara and Ōkahu Inuawai, and their placement at each new miraka hipi unit.

“We view the whenua as being ours – it is part of our original Inuawai block, part of our tūrangawaewae – and this is acknowledged in how some of our values have been reflected in the new venture.”

“They reflect back to our Inuawaitanga quite intrinsically. One came from Te Rere o Kapuni, a sacred source in our rohe. Another was taken from Waingongoro awa, a pivotal awa for Ōkahu Inuawai. They were also collected at Cardiff on the Waingongoro awa and from the Pātea awa, which joins into branches that have links to Ōkahu Inuawai and Ngāti Turi.” Ōkahu Inuawai gifted the names ‘Koetuku’ and ‘Waitokorau’ to the new units, and named the milking shed ‘Te Tau o te Reme’ and the rearing shed ‘Tangimaioro’.

22 | HE WHENUA WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40

Tangimaioro refers to defensive battlements (pā maioro) around pā in that area, for example the Pākokomiko palisades at Waitokorau. It also references the sound of a crying child made by the ripples on a bend in the river just below Pākokomiko.

“With the cry of the lambs in that lambing barn, we look at those cries as signifying oranga hou – wellbeing,” John says.

Te Tau o te Reme references a tikanga of the late 1800s.

“The old people during that period gave a biblical name to each year: 1867 was named Te Tau o te Reme, the year of the lamb. In 1868, Titokowaru took up the path of Uenuku again to slow down our greedy manuhiri. Therefore, the arrival of the lamb signifies to us the drive for peace, opportunity and prosperity.”

Koetuku is a name from a tupuna Wiremu Kingi Katene, who was given the name Tūwhakaruru during a battle he fought alongside Titokowaru at Waverley. He gave the name Koetuku to the area where he lived, and where one of the new miraka hipi farm’s is located.

The name Waitokorau is another link to Ōkahutanga and Inuawaitanga. It is the name of a sacred puna near the ancient pā site Ōkahutītī, used for healing and health rituals including the spiritual cleansing of warriors after war.

John says the name reflects hapū aspirations to provide oranga pathways for mokopuna.

HE WHENUA | 23 WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40

“As a hapū we want to encourage more of our whānau, uri to come back and build near our pā, but you also need ventures to provide employment for that.

“We look at traditional dairy farming as a green desert for our people. But miraka hipi presents a range of greater opportunities.”

Chief among these were opportunities for uri to be employed on their whenua again.

“There could be future employment from a range of miraka hipi ventures and we want to encourage steps in that direction.”

In work to develop a strategy plan last year, the hapū received a strong message from uri that they want papakāinga housing on the marae and within the Ōkahu area to encourage whānau to come home.

“We can build them nice homes but we want to ensure we’re creating nice employment opportunities as well,” John says.

“We want to see how this miraka hipi kaupapa develops. As the relationship develops we may even look at co-investing in a joint venture with Parininihi ki Waitōtara. There is talk of building up a critical mass of at least 12 miraka hipi farms in Taranaki and building our own production factory. We find that quite exciting.

“There could be jobs for our uri as milkers; a range of short-term opportunities to assist during lambing – for example, mothering lambs in the barn; and manufacturing possibilities through to looking after the tankers, sales and there’s nothing to stop us fostering some of our own for managerial positions.

“These are all kaupapa which would suit a population being built up at Aotearoa Pā.

“Our hapū is quite keen to further develop our relationship with Parininihi ki Waitōtara because we can see a range of activities we can intersect on, not just currently but in the future as well.

“For example, at the Waingongoro dam on Normanby Road, we want to work on a fish bypass going up the dam, and Parininihi ki Waitōtara has been helpful in giving us access through the farm there.

“By having joint synergies, I believe we can achieve mutual goals and aims.”

“Our hapū is quite keen to further develop our relationship with Parininihi ki Waitōtara because we can see a range of activities we can intersect on, not just currently but in the future as well.”

MIRAKA HIPI HE RAU HONONGA HE RAU PUĀWAI STRONG RELATIONSHIPS KEY TO NEW VENTURE – AND AN EXCITING FUTURE 26 | HE WHENUA WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40

While milk tankers in Taranaki are an unremarkable sight, there is one pick-up that signifies a journey with kotahitanga and whanaungatanga at its heart.

Around 500,000 litres of milk will be collected in the first season from the Parininihi ki Waitōtara Miraka Hipi farms in South Taranaki by the Spring Sheep Milk Co and taken to a Waikato plant to be turned into highly nutritious milk products.

Conversations between the two organisations started more than three years ago and culminated in a relationship that brought an innovative alternative land use to Taranaki, and further diversification of the PKW investment portfolio.

“As with any potential investment, alignment with our strategic approach and core values was the key to pursuing Miraka Hipi as a possibility to be explored, ‘says Te Rau Whakahaumako/ General Manager Ahuwhenua Shane Miles. “We found our approach, vision and kaupapa really resonated with the team at the Spring Sheep Milk Co and so the partnership was formed on strong foundations.”

For PKW, Miraka Hipi aligns closely with the strategic focus of Property, People, Protein and Place, providing considerable opportunity to not only leverage the Incorporation’s most valuable asset, the whenua, but also to build new relationships on both a local and national level, develop knowledge and capability, and establish a clear growth strategy that involves the involvement of hapū and uri into the future.

These goals formed a clear synergy between the two organisations, and was the catalyst for the partnership to develop, according to Joe Highet, the Taranaki Regional Development lead for Spring Sheep Milk Co.

“Our business has already established 14 sheep dairying units in the Waikato, and now as we look to scale, we wanted to expand into another region,” he says.

“Taranaki was the obvious choice as turning grass into milk is something its farmers know about, but we needed to find the right people to work with, a partner that understood the environmental, social and economic benefits sheep dairying offers and one willing to embrace innovation and find new ways of doing things.”

“From the initial meeting with PKW, it was clear that the potential was there and we are very pleased to have reached this stage where milk produced on a PKW farm is being collected and processed at our facility here in the Waikato.”

“This is a big milestone in the journey we have mapped out ahead of us, so it is good to stop and acknowledge the mahi that got us to this place, and the strength of partnership that will see us forge ahead with our mutually beneficial plans for the future.”

HE WHENUA | 27 WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40

The growth strategy will see the PKW flock grow from 1600 ewes at two farms to 13,000 ewes at 12 farms and be the driving force behind the development of a Taranaki production hub. A further 15 partner farms with another 13,000 ewes are planned from year three, increasing the region’s involvement in the sheep dairying industry up to 25-26 farms and more than 26,000 ewes within the next ten year.

“Together with the Spring Sheep Milk Co, we have the ability to collaborate with potential partners who share our kaupapa and vision to create opportunity for those who want to be connected to their whenua, who want to build this industry into one that will provide a prosperous future for the generations to come,” says Shane.

“It is a very exciting prospect, and while it has been something we have been working towards for some time, seeing the lambs on the ground and the ewes coming through the brand-new milking shed really helps bring home how real what we are planning to achieve is.”

“Everyone involved, from both PKW and the Spring Sheep Milk Co, is excited to see what the future will bring as we continue to strengthen our partnership and add new ones to create a network of sustainable opportunity and potential for the benefit of all.”

“All our kaimahi are critical to the success of PKW, and our new Miraka Hipi farming team are no exception. They have come together in a short period of time and really embraced what we are trying to achieve. Although we

are still in the early stages of our journey, they have been instrumental in ensuring we have made a positive start.”

Sheep’s milk has a high nutritional value, particularly in calcium, which provides elevated health benefits to young and old alike. It is also more acceptable to the human digestive system than cow’s or goat’s milk and doesn’t have the strong smell or taste of goat’s milk, making it more acceptable to consumers, which is helping to build the global demand for sheep’s milk-based food products. Miraka Hipi also offers some potentially significant environmental gains compared to a similar expansion in conventional bovine dairying.

Extensive financial modelling, industry research, market potential and return on asset analysis underpins the growth plan, but the strength of the strategic approach comes back to the core values of kotahitanga and whanaungatanga – trusted relationships, working together and the belief in collective action.

“We found our approach, vision and kaupapa really resonated with the team at the Spring Sheep Milk Co and so the partnership was formed on strong foundations.”

TE RAU MATATAU O TE TAU KURAMAIKI LACEY-BROOKS

Images: Trev Hill Photography Te Rau Matatau Charles Bailey Scholarship 2022 recipient Kuramaiki Lacey-Brooks has set her sights on radically improving oral health outcomes for Māori in Aotearoa.
HE ORANGA | 29 WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40

“My ultimate goal is to decolonise the oral health care system, improve Māori oral health outcomes and make sure it’s done right. It’s not just me doing it – I can’t do it alone. I need the entire nation to be doing it with me,” says Kura (Ngāruahine and Te Arawa).

The scholarship, awarded by the Te Rau Manawaora o Parininihi ki Waitōtara / PKW Trust, will support Kura as she works towards a post-graduate degree, called a Master of Community Dentistry, at Otago University. This will help her to become a dental public health specialist.

“I would just love for the oral health system to be entirely based, underpinned, and have at the core of it, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and a commitment to achieving Māori oral health equity. But even beyond equity, dare I say, justice.”

The 29-year-old is studying part-time for her Masters, which will take three to four years. Alongside this, she will continue lecturing dental public health papers at Te Kaupeka Pūniho/ Faculty of Dentistry in Dunedin. This is so she can support her three-year-old daughter Olive, named after Kura’s greatgrandmother, Olive Brooks.

Kura was born and raised in Rotorua, where she began her learning journey through Kōhanga Reo and Kura Kaupapa. “So, te reo Māori was my first language.”

In her last year at primary school, she wanted to live with her paternal grandparents, Mere and Allan Brooks, in Te Hāwera, where she stayed for three years.

“Living with my grandparents is where I started to develop what I wanted out of my life and career.

They always told me I would go to university, and I really excelled under their care.”

“Living with my grandparents is where I started to develop what I wanted out of my life and career. They always told me I would go to university, and I really excelled under their care.”

30 | HE ORANGA WHENUA MAGAZINE | ISSUE 40 HE ORANGA | 30

She competed in representative netball and athletics for Taranaki and was head girl of Hāwera Intermediate School, where she was in the kapa haka group.

“When I lived with my grandparents, they were heavily involved with our (Aotea) marae.”

Missing her mother, Megan Lacey, she returned to Rotorua to finish high school.

That’s also when she got braces to straighten her teeth and wanted to smile again: “That was life-changing for me.”

After high school she took a gap year, basing herself part-time at the dental practices of Māori health provider Tipu Ora, and then gained a one-year scholarship, called Tū Kahika, to study foundational health sciences at The University of Otago Foundation and Learning Centre in preparation for Health Sciences First Year (HSFY).

This led to her applying to study dentistry, medicine and physiotherapy. “I was accepted into all three.”

She chose her first calling, beginning a Bachelor of Dentistry in 2015, with support from an under-graduate scholarship from PKW, and graduating in December 2018.

“I feel very privileged and honoured to receive this scholarship, and I’m really grateful that PKW has supported me throughout my course of studies as well,” she says.

In her spare time, Kura is taking te reo Māori night classes, which has helped her rediscover a part of her she felt was missing and learn more about her whakapapa. Her nan, Mere, is a Rau Titikura / PKW shareholder, which was passed down by Mere’s parents, Gloria and John Kerehoma. John was one of the founding members of PKW.

There is even a PKW post-graduate scholarship under Gloria’s name. “I thought that was the one I was going to be applying for, but I’m sure she would be happy I earned the Charles Bailey Scholarship,” Kura says. “I called my nan as soon as I learned I was successful in receiving the scholarship. She was so stoked she said she could feel my Nanna Gloria in the room and that she was celebrating me receiving the scholarship,” she says.

“This PKW connection through the scholarship just reaffirms my identity in that I have my iwi and my hapū backing me in my career. They are supporting me to support them, because while I can’t live in Taranaki for my studies, I can give back to my whānau through the mahi they are supporting me to do.”

PKW Trust Te Rau Toi Tauira (Chairperson) Will Edwards says Kura’s application on paper was strong and stood out from a competitive field.

“In her interview she was highly articulate and was able to clearly describe the benefits her work will have for not only Taranaki Māori but for Māori generally,” he says.

Also outstanding was Kura’s commitment to working in dental public health, where there are few people represented in this specialised field, let alone Māori. “Parininihi ki Waitōtara Rautitikura whānau should be very proud of one of our whanaunga, who is already emerging as a leader in her field—a field that’s really important for the life outcomes of many people.”

This PKW connection through the scholarship just reaffirms my identity in that I have my iwi and my hapū backing me in my career.”

TŪ MAI RĀ TARANAKI E, TIKETIKE MAI RĀ TĀTOU! MĀORI PRIDE ALWAYS THE WINNER AT TARANAKI TŪ MAI

After a year of Covid-caused delays, Taranaki Tū Mai is back, and organisers say the upcoming Ngāti Ruanuihosted festival is a much-needed celebration.

Taking place between 4-6 November later this year, the biennial event will be based at the TSB Hub in Te Hāwera.

“Taranaki Tū Mai gives us the chance to meet, join and come together in a very Taranaki Māori-centric way,” says Wharehoka Wano, Taranaki Tū Mai Trust Tiamana (Chair) and Tumu Whakarito (CEO) of Te Kāhui o Taranaki Trust.

He says the event brings the eight iwi of Taranaki together to celebrate Taranakitanga, Whanaungatanga and Kotahitanga.

“I have been immensely proud of this festival in that it’s brought us together under those three values,” says Wharehoka (Taranaki, Te Atiawa, Ngāti Mutunga, Ngāti Tama and Ngāti Awa).

Chair since the event began in 2009, Wharehoka says Taranaki Tū Mai is hosted by a different iwi each time, and the celebration continues to grow.

“It’s now firmly on the iwi calendar as an event when we can celebrate who we are,” he says. “One of the measures of that for me is that many of our tribal whānau who live away from the maunga return for this event.”

The intergenerational gathering is celebratory, warm and has a great atmosphere underpinned by friendly rivalry.

Points are added up across all the events to find an overall winner and Ngāti Mutunga are the current champions.

“They get the bragging rights for two years (three this time) – in our world that’s a long, long time,” he laughs.

Wharehoka will be competing in the golf, tautohetohe (debates) and kapa haka.

Te Rau Manawaora o Parininihi ki Waitōtara (PKW Trust) is supporting the celebrations, which feature a wide range of sports, performances, and wānanga.

Puna Wano-Bryant, PKW Te Rautitikura/General Manager –Shareholder Engagement, is wearing two hats for Taranaki Tū Mai. As well as her PKW role, she and Te Rauwhakaihoiho/ Kaitiakitanga Strategy Manager Tonga Karena are the kapa haka teachers for Taranaki Iwi.

“So the PKW office space can become the Taranaki Iwi kapa haka practice space at times,” she says.

Puna (Taranaki, Te Atiawa and Ngāti Mutunga) says the past three years of the Covid pandemic have severely affected Māori in their ability to communally gather to share grief and celebrations.

“What we have had to put off and postpone again and again is the biggest celebration in Taranaki of our tribal identities and collective identity as a people. It’s so important that we come together once more,” she says.

“It’s about sharing in our own pride as tribes and sharing with other tribes. It’s about us being us… it’s like the ultimate sign of self-care and self-love as a tribal people. That’s Taranaki Tū Mai.”

PKW will have a stand at The Hub and Adrian Poa, the PKW Te Rau Tātai Kura – Shareholder Engagement Advisor – will be on hand to assist Te Rautitikura / shareholders with updates and information about their connections to PKW, dividends and grants.
