Tēnā koutou e ngā iwi ō Te Tairāwhiti! Tēnei te mihi ki a koutou katoa. February has been an exciting month! Firstly, we announced our Māori priorities at Waitangi; • Iwi-led responses to homelessness and family/sexual violence • Kaitiakitanga of whenua, awa and moana • Responding to the Matike Mai Report • Protecting the rights of takatāpui • Creating an independent Māori health authority

http://www.facebook.com/pipi.wharauroa

• Ensuring iwi, hapū and whānau have a say in the decisions that affect them.

On 10 February, over 220 whānau and friends travelled from across the country to support me on my Maiden Speech. They filled up the gallery in vibrant colour to #PaintParliamentPurple. I acknowledged how my parents, Karauria Tarao (Bison) and Erin Kerekere helped make me the person I am. When I was 12 years old, Dad would introduce me as the first Māori Prime Minister so it was always at the back of my mind I would be here.

On 14 February, I launched a petition to ban conversion therapy which affects many of our takatāpui and Rainbow whānau.

Within a week we had 157,764 signatures so we pushed the government to introduce this into Parliament by mid-year. On 2324 February, I spoke twice in the House in support of Māori Wards along with Labour and Te Paati Māori. It is now law! No longer can a group of racist people remove our right to be represented at the Council table.

The students will have the opportunity to work with advanced MRI protocols designed for Mātai’s concussion research. The scans provide a range of methods that visualise brain microstructure, function, and physiology.

Examples include the image on the left that shows the brain’s white matter tracts overlaid on the brain’s cerebrum. The image on the right shows activation in the well known default mode network acquired using resting state functional MRI obtained during a non-active state of the brain.

In specific brain conditions including ADHD and Dyslexia it has been shown that fine motor skills including fidgeting can improve brain cognition. Improved blood flow, neural connections, and brain chemical changes might explain this.

This project may change how we look at students and young adults with ADHD and learning coping mechanisms. It will involve working at the Mātai Medical Research Institute in collaboration with the Auckland Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland. The results from this study will immediately benefit families and schools in Gisborne.

Wharerata characters This small part of Wharerata had its share of characters.

The old roadman we only knew as Ghandi lived opposite Harry Lange’s turn-off. Maori, well-built with a clean-shaven head, he was – according to mum – a brother to Hine Matete, Hira Matete’s wife at Papatu Road. He kept his bach spotless like his drains, and always had a cup of tea and korero when I called into see how he was. I rode over when I hadn’t seen him for a few days. The blow flies were thick as I opened the door, the smell was over-powering.

The poor fellow had died having a bath and had been there for several days. I galloped back to Kaitoke and rang the Police. They had to carry him out on a big canvas. His bach was flattened by the Ministry of Works when SH2 was realigned.

The road man for Paritu was an Irishman we knew as Paddy.

Doug Herbison and his mother had a hard farm between the bush and Paritu down to the railway line at Beach Loop. It was going back, and had poor stock. Doug was a hopeless farmer. An axeman of some small repute and a show shearer, never a serious shed shearer. He had the physique, Pop’s quiet appraisal “he has a split pea for a heart” so apt.

Paritu was owned by the Hair family and Don Green was the manager. He did a good job and eventually ended up as manager of Whangara B5.

Jim Bowen was the manager for his uncle Fred Bowen who had this big property Pourewa.

It was also going back and was sold to the Forest Service, a core block for planting the new Wharerata forest. Jim had a Māori wife and family at Mahanga, who bached in the old homestead. He was offered the job of ranger in the new Wharerata forest.

Pop showing us how to hold a calf for marking

He came down once on his Bedford truck with his mean team of dogs to help muster the McAra cattle that had gone bush. We got a good size mob in and while drafting them this big seven-year-old bullock jumped over the gate down to the railway line and wasn’t stopping for anything. The dogs took off but Jim whistled them back. A young heading dog continued. Jim raised his rifle, which he always carried, and put a shot between the dog’s moving legs. He made a sudden stop and came back. Pop and he agreed to leave that bullock for another day, and we eventually got him in. Jim acted casual when we remarked on his shooting but, noticing a hawk flying close, turned his rifle upside down and – bugger me days – shot it and the hawk fell on the road.

manager of Waitahaia Station on the East Coast. It worked like a dream, possibly the best swim dip I ever had to work with. The raised ramp coaxed the sheep into thinking they were being let out so ran freely up.

When they hit the heavy glass plate at the top, they just slid down into the dip. Most did not have to have their heads pushed under. This job only took a day and Vivian Pohatu gave us a hand.

Ian spread them out and I rode home. A little later, I returned to help muster the cattle.

Puninga ran about 180 mixed age cows.

Because of the country and its situation, many cows calved every two years. Weaning was impossible as the fences were not stock-proof. Mustering the cattle was slow work but, thankfully, everything mustered Ian Lockett, manager of the 4500-acre down to the flat of about 60 acres with a Puninga Station owned by the Smellie family, big creek running through it and plenty of asked me to help with his mustering. I rode shade from rimu and kahikatea trees. up and camped with him and his wife in the old homestead surrounded by native trees – We drafted all the steers for sale and any cold as hell in winter but cool in summer. dry cows and cull heifers. These were taken Even then, the property was going back, the up to the top where there were a couple owners reluctant to spend money on any of reasonable holding paddocks beside the improvements. homestead. Ian went back down and let the rest of the cattle out. The next day, we I had to ride a gelding as Ian’s six ugly, in- drove this mob of about 100 cattle down to bred colts were always trying to ride your Pop’s yards at Kaitoke. Pop had some cattle horse or were biting and kicking. The big for sale and I had the job of droving 130 paddocks had a lot of fern and scrub, with cattle to Matawhero saleyards. only little areas of clean grazing country. Thankfully, Come shearing time, Laddie Tamati, Billy they all mustered down to Porou and I were the shearers; Viv Pohatu, the big flat where there were the presser/sheepo; Kaa Matenga and Wai a couple of decent holding Smith, the rousies; and Nori Smith, the paddocks, a rough cattle yard cook. These were great times. When I rang and basic sheep yards.

Ian to inquire about the weather, his reply if it wasn’t good was “fog as thick as pea The first muster was the sheep soup but come on up we will find something for dipping. The numbers had to do”. I have fond memories of his wife’s dropped to about 1200 mixed wholesome tasty soup and meals including age ewes and a couple of mutton and onion sandwiches and the big hundred ewe hoggets. The bottle of tea with condensed milk – it more dip was behind the woolshed, than filled one on a cold day. a real work of art. Ian bought the plan from his time as

Poa Smith from Ruatoria had a lease block (Torries) in from Puninga. He ran some sheep then shifted to cattle. It was another hard block, typical of all these reverting properties. His son Jim Smith and his wife Nori raised some of their big family there then moved to a shepherd’s job at Kopua Station, Bartletts. Jim was an incredible stockman, very calm and with a top team of working dogs. Half the kids at the school were his children.

I dried all my wet clothes and packed them before I left the next morning. Mitford came down to tell me the road was blocked and I could go cross country through his farm to the top of Wharekopae. He gave me a pair of wire-cutters to cut the fence if need be and I could drop them off when I rode home.

It was a bastard of a day with sleet rain.

Luckily, the cows stayed in a tight mob. I cut Charlie Tietjen had one of the better the boundary fence at Tapere Station and properties. He ran 2500 Perendale ewes, took the cows down to the woolshed. had a good pick of fat lambs and finished about 50 Hereford bullocks every year.

Hurley. Ivan and I were his team one time.

We had to collect his horse and dogs from Matawhero railway station. His brother King, one of Jim Hurley’s managers on Siberia Station, sent Frank three or four dogs every year, each with its name on a tag. These darn good dogs were wasted on Frank, who was not a good dog man.

He turned up with a heading dog from his father Seymour Lambert’s breed, possibly the only decent dog he owned, reluctantly given to him by his brother Peter. He came with an old Dodge truck which carried our gear.

Ivan and I had been buying and selling horses and realised we could make some good money on this trip, especially in Hawke’s Bay. We both took a string of six horses, 10 for sale. Most came from Horehore Station, up the Coast, bred by Johnny Woodford – clean, small types, mostly coloured and all shod. On the road we’d change horses three to four times a day. Getting them used to trains was a new experience but they quickly settled.

I still found some time to play rugby and joined YMP, making the senior team.

Pipiwharauroa Māori Wards

Meredith AkuhataBrown

Māori Wards Why does the very mention of Māori Wards spark such a cry of racism and special treatment? Because, truthfully, the whole of every system in Aotearoa is not Māori, wasn’t created by Māori and certainly has not really wanted Māori at the table of governance.

Most researchers can trace anti-Māori sentiment back to when councils were created, as a colonist once wrote, “With an increasing British population, and with the advance of the natives in the arts of civilised life, the provincial districts will progressively extend into the aboriginal, until, at length, the distinction shall have entirely disappeared.”

Councils are a Pākehā construct with assimilation being the key to gaining a seat at the table.

Within this construct there have been attempts to give Māori representation, as early as 1867 when a Māori Representation Bill was promoted in Parliament, only two members objected to what was called, “special representation for the Native Race.”

When I first decided to stand for council in 2013 one of the most common statements said to me was, “You won’t get in on your first go because you are a woman and you are Māori.” That did surprise me based on our region’s demographics and my personal belief that surely these two factors shouldn’t matter.

However, when I attended my first national gathering of elected councilors, I was introduced to the “pale, male and, to be honest, stale old boys club” or rather the face of governance in New Zealand. I actually found myself seeking out people who looked more like me. To be frank, I was a minority as a Māori woman.

I have now been on council nearly 10 years and it has been a constant reminder of our colonial past in which we continue to be stuck. There have been small changes to policy such as the engagement policy including a Māori engagement policy. At least every six years councils are required to review their representation arrangements

and consider a number of options when doing so. However they are piecemeal offerings that teeter around the edges of honoring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Māori Wards were introduced to promote increased Māori participation in local politics set up similar to the Māori Seats in Parliament enabling voters on the Māori roll to vote for someone they believed would represent the interests on the council. It is all about representation, something I believe many people do not understand.

Representation is actually what this debate is all about. Non Māori New Zealand continues to believe that their Westminster Democracy works and anybody can participate in it. Of course they believe this system works and will work hard to prove it does as how embarrassing to be proven wrong!

You see, what we need to do is dig deeper on this “pale male” thinking, it comes with a range of characteristics especially around The fight for Māori wards in our nation is knowledge and race. a constant battle. Discussing any matter that involves Māori has consistently been It can be traced back to the Motherland, met with mixed views and the dominant England when the English were set on culture often concludes that Māori have the colonising the world. They believed that same opportunities as anyone to stand in they were superior and could civilise nations an election, they consider Māori Wards may where indigenous people populated. Many negatively impact rural seats and that having upper class English had slaves and servants a ward specifically Māori is racist. who were captured and brought from Africa on slave ships. What we need to unpack Much of this debate is played out in the is the intergenerational psychology and media as all councils have to undertake this inheritance of racial bias. A number of review. Former Taranaki Mayor Andrew Judd white people still see coloured people as has been a strong outspoken supporter of inferior.

Māori representation at the council table and faced severe backlash from his community So when Māori want to represent themselves when he made his stand and continues to do and their cultural values and share their so. To be fair, Māori have fought tirelessly for knowledge, the resistance from many non generations asking that Te Tiriti o Waitangi Māori is deep seated and comes from roots be honoured, this document was to be the of power. way forward in partnerships, participation and protection. However it appears to have Māori wards and representation builds pride been a pretentious agreement. and creates hope for Māori. Just as when you are chosen to represent your region in The Gisborne District Council, like all councils sport or academia, when you are seen as the under the Local Government Act 2002, have best representative because of your skills Treaty obligations. and knowledge, you feel proud. In my view true Māori representation in all society is ‘In order to recognise and respect the key to unlocking greater potential and the Crown’s responsibility to take leadership which will, in turn, change the appropriate account of the principles of many negative statistics that Māori have. the Treaty of Waitangi and to maintain and improve opportunities for Māori to The gifts of Matauranga Māori and contribute to local government decision- Maramataka have been offered many times making processes, Parts 2 and 6 provide to our Pākehā systems. Despite some small principles and requirements for local movement of acceptance they are still met authorities that are intended to facilitate with protests and an underlying misbelief participation by Māori in local authority that Māori are unintelligent. decision-making processes.”

I believe that many non Māori are not proud So when the Gisborne District Council voted of their history but the continued arrogance unanimously for Māori Wards we expected of some keeps them from acknowledging to receive emails and commentary opposing it. Perhaps there is some shame also that it. Lobby group Hobson’s Pledge have rallied makes it difficult to admit and why we have their troops and some locals have added never really been taught our history. their rationale, it’s all the same.

The history of New Zealand tells how Māori What’s disappointing from all the anti- land was stolen through confiscation and sentiment is the lack of depth of their legislation, the men were sent to prison debate, it’s nothing new and most of those camps for protecting their whānau and land, who speak out against Māori wards are “pale native schools were set up and legislation males” who fight hard to maintain a status was created to oppress Māori. quo democracy, their democracy. History shows a lack of appetite for change but also history shows us that for change to happen continued on page 13 we need better understanding of why it is necessary.

Māori Wards continued from page 6

Of course the whole debate has taken a turn of events with the current Minister of Local Government Nanaia Mahuta pushing to remove the racist legislation that has existed whereby a poll of only 5% of voters can overturn a Council’s decision to implement Māori Wards.

Māori were strapped for speaking their Reo, most Māori were marginalised into laboring jobs and all the systems are monocultural, not created with Māori in mind. The main debate with all this history is “get over it, move on” yet these issues are ongoing and It’s been so exciting to watch a number of institutional racism is engrained.

Councils vote to have Māori Wards in the Māori Wards haven’t even been given a chance, maybe it could be too revolutionary, it could prove to work. Having Māori representation at the tables of governance gives a strong message to our rangatahi and mokopuna that their future is considered and the values and beliefs of their Tipuna will be upheld.

2022 elections, and more exciting to see that the petitions against are not gaining traction. I believe New Zealand is growing up and more and more voters are looking at what representation really means.

This is the transformative government we have been waiting for, it gives hope and inspiration for Māori so we will no longer have to fight for an equal place at the table.

EVERY SLEEP A SAFE SLEEP

T

HERE’s fun, laughter and lots of learning, but there’s also a serious side to Tūranga Health's bi-monthly antenatal classes.

At the rate of 2.2 per 1000 births, the rate of Sudden Unexplained Death in Infancy (SUDI) in te Tairāwhiti is more than three times the national average.

And Hauora Tairāwhiti Mokopuna Ora safe sleep co-ordinator Kaniwa Kupenga-Tamarama says that through wananga like Tūranga Health's, there’s a determination to change that.

“It’s critical to protect pēpi from SUDI for that whole first year of life so we teach many ways of making sure baby is sleeping safely and doing that in a culturally-appropriate manner.

“There’s a long tradition of bed-sharing, for example, and we aren't here to say 'don't do that'. What we can do is show whānau how they can use things like pēpi pods or wahakura (woven basket beds) to keep baby safe. It's about making every sleep a safe sleep for baby.”

“Our two-day antenatal wananga cover all the other things that can help whānau keep baby safe from: a healthy warm dry home; substance-free pregnancies to labour and birth; and options around breastfeeding,” says

Tūranga Health Well Child Tamariki Ora coordinator Janneen Kinney.

Around 700 pēpi are born in Gisborne every year and these days almost half are registered with the Tamariki Ora service run by Tūranga Health.

“The antenatal classes are perfect for firsttime mama – or mama at any stage – who might need extra awhi and support: this could be getting a capsule, stopping smoking or getting ready to safe-sleep baby in a wahakura,” says Janneen.

“So in addition to Tamariki Ora, we can offer a wrap-around service to help take them through their parenting journey.”

Tūranga Health's next two-day antenatal class will be held on Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 March 2021, 9 Temple St, Gisborne.
