In recent times, we have seen the significant loss of our most senior pahake of Ngāti Tama descent.

They have left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of our people and the communities that they served. Our thoughts and prayers are with their respective whānau and indeed all of our bereaved families at this very sad time as we reflect on the collective memories that we all share. E moe rā koutou, e au ai te moe.

It’s probably a timely reminder for whānau to protect themselves from the ravages of Covid and the flu in the ensuing months. We encourage everyone to keep warm and keep well.

Tēnā tātou katoa.

HE KUPU WHAKATAKI NĀ TE HEAMANA ME TE POUWHAKAHAERE Given the connections our iwi and whānau have back to Taranaki Maunga, we also thought it useful to provide an update of the arrangements recently agreed between Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and the Crown. This article also gives some of the historical context to the negotiation and provides deeper insight into the how the unique arrangements give effect to our cultural beliefs in recognising our Maunga as a living being. While this will not be foreign to many of us, this was a significant point for negotiation with the Crown and became the foundation for all subsequent arrangements associated with the Maunga.

In responding to our strategic pou of providing opportunities for whānau to live in Te Tauihu we have made some great progress in standing up Ka Uruora in Te Tauihu. This will be launched at the end of May, with the big focus on driving and implementing opportunities for whānau to participate in Financial Literacy programmes and maintaining a register for future housing opportunities. In light of this, while not specifically in Te Tauihu, our collective commercial investment in Hāpai Housing, have provided an housing opportunity for whānau to register an interest in Glen Innes (Moroki), in Tāmaki Makaurau, so please make contact through the registration process as set out in the article.

Work within the Taiao space is ongoing, with most of our engagements and mahi being applied to upholding our cultural values and interests across the range of different environmental groups, including councils, government and other conservation groups. Further to that, we are also keeping abreast of the extent of legislative and regulatory changes coming down the pipeline. Particularly, with the 3-waters reform and Resource Management Reforms. These reforms will take alot of time and headspace to reconcile, particularly how they are operationalised with council and iwi on the ground.

There is some beautiful kōrero in the ‘Kōrero Tūpuna’ section drafted by Hilary Mitchell alongside some of the great sporting, cultural and educational successes our whānau are engaged with across the motu.

If you have any feedback on this issue, or ideas for future articles please email us whanau@ngati-tama.iwi.nz

Welcome to the Ngāhuru edition of Te Puna. As in past editions, this periodical is a great opportunity to hear from some of our whānau, report on some of the activities of the Trust and highlight some of the key programmes and opportunities for whānau over the coming months.

In this issue, we hear from Grant Joyce and Senae Mitchell who share some special memories of the challenges and learnings to their reo journey. A journey full of ups and downs but ultimately enriched by reconnecting with whānau and gaining a deeper understanding of our Ngāti Tama identity through the learning of our reo.

PAGE 2 || TE PUNA

In concluding, we hope everyone is well prepared for the Takurua (colder winter months) and the rise of the tau hou (New Year) in June/ July. As you will know, this time will be marked by the rising of Puanga (the star) firstly and Matariki shortly afterwards, and begin the start of a new lunar/ stellar annual cycle. Please don’t forget that as a Ngāti Tama whānau, we will mark this occasion on the 14th -15th July in Motueka this year so please note this down in your diaries and get in touch with the office to register your attendance.

Nā māua ko Butch, me te aroha nui ki a koutou katoa!

“He iti te mokoroa, nāna i kakati te kahikatea.”

SENAE MITCHELL My story is similar to many Māori who were disconnected to the fullness of living in and embracing Te Ao Māori. Born and raised in the era where our reo was not as valued or promoted as it is today and consequently, I am evident of a generation where Te Reo Māori is not my first language. However, I view my learning journey as more an awakening and activation of my Māoritanga.

Inherently, I always knew from a young girl this was me, my language, my way of doing. But not having the tools, resources and validation I needed to unlock it. That feeling, the memory I have continues to motivate me. It drives me forward to take the steps I need to follow, in order for me to unlock my reo and all that is encompassed in the process.

Over the years I have participated in many reo courses (and continue to do so). What I learnt quite quickly was how the impact of language trauma can be a barrier. Feeling whakamā; the fact I don’t have the reo and living as an indigenous wāhine in her own country, hits hard at times. Also, my ability to commit and with restrictions like time; or lack thereof, is an ongoing challenge. I acknowledge there have been seasons of having the time but not necessarily the cognitive capacity to retain the knowledge. As well as, being aware that my desire maybe always present but making achievable plans for my learning to be successful requires realistic expectations, commitment and self-compassion. This path is also about my ability to learn doesn’t have to look a specific way; I get to choose that narrative.

This is one of my favourite whakawai , I have it displayed in my home and workplace as a constant reminder. The proverb PAGE 4 || TE PUNA

reflects my whakaaro on my personal reo journey – the small intentional steps I take direction that I value can have a significant impact.

One of the biggest contributors to my journey continues to be my tūpuna. Knowing that many had their reo stripped from them sits deep with me. I do not want my mokopuna and future generations to be restricted by a society that does not value Māoritanga, our taonga, our ways of being.

I understand that what I can control and for change to occur; I have a role and responsibility to participate in. Like our tūpuna who had to make decisions for their future legacy - Us. I too realise my responsibility is to learn our reo, to share with my whānau and create an environment where they will never have to experience what our tūpuna endured.

I also acknowledge my journey has been enhanced by those on their own reclamation path. Being surrounded by likeminded individuals tends to inspire, motivate and at times provide a sense of accountability. Another contributor has been participating in Ngāti Tama virtual He Ranga Kōrero and Maramataka Series. These are invaluable additions to my kete. Immersed in these wānanga is providing me with many benefits alongside my reo knowledge: the on-going connection to whānau, solidifying identity and expanding my Iwitanga and Māoritanga.

Like many, my reo journey has shifted from ‘just’ learning our language to healing the personal loss of what our tūpuna and many generations thereafter have experienced. Hearing, speaking and learning our language and revitalising practises is all a part of the healing process. Te Reo Māori is the conduit in strengthening my cultural, my sense of belonging and purpose.

GRANT JOYCE How did your te reo learning journey begin?

The very first te reo Māori that I learnt was from Janice Manson when she sat me down and taught me my pepeha. Fast forward many years to enrolling in the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, yearlong Te Ara Reo programme, followed by the second year course also at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.

Who has contributed most to your reo journey?

My first kaiako at the Wānanga o Aotearoa were Elena Fe’au and her husband Hori Mike who were both were excellent teachers who understood how to create an ideal learning environment.

They really managed to imbue in me the idea that it was possible to learn te reo and opened my eyes to the symbolic richness and power of the language.

What have been the most significant challenges in the learning journey for you and your whānau?

Life can be very busy and time very fragmented. Finding the time to sit down and concentrate on learning te reo Māori can be difficult. The commitments of family life and work definitely get in the way. The distractions of technology create bad neural pathways making it difficult to concentrate. Most of my practice and learning happens on long walks around the hills of Te Whanganui-a-Tara. If I could choose my ideal learning environment, I would be born surrounded by speakers of te reo Māori. Failing that, to learn while young would be ideal.

Why is the reo so important to me? to us?

The culture is in the language. If I want to deepen my understanding and connection to te ao Māori then I need to learn te reo. Through deepening our knowledge of te ao Māori we connect with the past (ngā tūpuna), the present (our whānau) and the future (our tamariki). Forming relationships with our iwi & whānau has been a profoundly enriching experience. So in order to progress we must make opportunities to listen, learn and practice.

What does ‘Tama tū ki te Tauihu, Tama ora ki te Ao’ mean for you and your whānau?

It means through the health of te reo Māori we will stand together steadfast, upright and strong to represent our tūpuna, whānau and iwi.

“E tū e te whānau!

Kia kaha te reo Māori! Kiā māia!

Kia manawanui!”

After more than six years of negotiations and 2 election cycles, Ngā Iwi o Taranaki have initialled a collective redress deed of agreement for Egmont National Park, Taranaki Maunga and surrounding mountain ranges. This historical occasion was marked by an official ceremony attended by Taranaki whānau, tribal leaders and Crown officials signalling a new dawn for the maunga and its ranges.

TE PUNA || PAGE 7

Following the signing of the Agreement - Te Ruruku Pūtakerongo work will now be undertaken on process for ratification and voting by iwi members. This will take the form of the appointment of an independent returning officer to oversee and implement a vote for all iwi members on the proposed arrangements.

Members of the negotiation team are also planning on kanohi ki te kanohi hui across the motu and online zoom hui with one dedicated to whānau living outside of Aotearoa.

We will provide further information regarding timeframes and dates on the ratification process but this is likely to commence late May 2023.

TE RURUKU PŪTAKERONGO General background Negotiations over Taranaki Maunga did not commence until all eight iwi of Taranaki had a Crown recognised mandate to participate. This did not eventuate until 2017. The eight iwi of Taranaki are: • Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi • Ngāruahine • Ngāti Maru • Ngāti Mutunga • Ngāti Ruanui • Ngāti Tama • Taranaki Iwi • Te Ātiawa Comprehensive historical Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) settlements have been completed with the eight iwi of Taranaki.

In 2017, the eight iwi of Taranaki established Ngā Iwi o Taranaki to negotiate collective cultural redress over their Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains) and Te Papa-Kura- o-Taranaki, currently known as Egmont National Park. The iwi negotiation team brought together a mix of skills and experience across the iwi, Te Pahunga Marty Davis, Haimona Maruera, Tihi (Daisy) Noble, Liana Poutu, Hemi Sundgren and Jamie Tuuta as the Lead Negotiator.

The eight iwi of Taranaki have a combined population of 45,337 (2013 New Zealand Census).

On 14 March 2017, Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and the Crown signed Terms of Negotiation. On 20 December 2017, Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and the Crown signed Te Anga Pūtakerongo – a Record of Understanding.

On 31 March 2023, Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and the Crown initialled Te Ruruku Pūtakerongo, a collective redress deed. The collective redress will be implemented following the passage of Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua, the collective redress legislation, through Parliament.

The Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations, Hon Andrew Little (and his predecessor Hon Christopher Finlayson), and PAGE 8 || TE PUNA

the Minister of Conservation, Hon Willow- Jean Prime (and her predecessors Hon Poto Williams, Hon Kiri Allan, Hon Eugenie Sage and Hon Maggie Barry), represented the Crown in highlevel negotiations with Ngā Iwi o Taranaki.

The Office for Māori Crown Relations – Te Arawhiti (previously the Ministry of Justice’s Office of Treaty Settlements) and the Department of Conservation represented the Crown in day-today negotiations. Other government agencies supported the negotiations.

Summary of the historical background to the claims of the eight iwi of Taranaki For generations, Taranaki Maunga and its surrounding ranges have been the central pillar for the iwi, hapū, and whānau of Taranaki. The mountain has long been an honoured ancestor, a source of physical, cultural, and spiritual sustenance, and a final resting place.

Following the establishment of European settlements in Taranaki in the early 1840s, the Crown began to purchase land in the region. Māori in Taranaki were initially keen to engage in the new settler economy, but became concerned when the Crown began to purchase land from individual Māori or small groups, sometimes without the consent or knowledge of key leaders or the wider collective, and sometimes despite their strongly stated objections. In 1860, the Crown used military forces to complete its purchase of land at Waitara, which led to wars between the Crown and Māori in Taranaki. In 1865 the Crown unfairly punished Māori by confiscating 1.2 million acres of Taranaki land, including Taranaki Maunga.

During the century that followed this fundamental breach of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the Crown repeatedly ignored the rights and interests of the tangata whenua of Taranaki in relation to their ancestral mountain. Following the confiscation, the Crown failed to create most of the reserves it had promised. After further protest by Māori in Taranaki, the Crown eventually returned some reserves, but refused to include most of the mountains in those reserves, instead proclaiming them as a forest reserve, and later a national park. The Crown subsequently established management regimes which ensured that trampers, skĪiers and hunters were involved in the management of the park but made no such provision for tangata whenua. Under those management regimes, traditional Māori practices associated with the mountains were banned while tourism was promoted, and pests such as possums were introduced which led to the complete destruction of native forest in some parts of the park.

In the early 1970s, Taranaki Māori sought to become involved in the management of the park, to have the mountain’s traditional name reinstated, and to have ownership of the mountains returned. Some of their proposals were initially supported by the government but then abandoned in the face of public opposition. Provisions for Māori involvement in the management of Egmont National Park were eventually enacted in 1977, and in 1978 the Crown promoted legislation which returned Taranaki Maunga to the Taranaki Māori Trust Board, but immediately returned it to Crown ownership for the purposes of a national park.

In recent years, Ngā Iwi o Taranaki have led a number of initiatives which have sought to reactivate and strengthen their connections to their ancestral mountains. These have included programmes to re-engage with the sites of significance within the park, control pests, foster indigenous plants and animals, improve scientific understanding of the environment, and promote mātauranga Māori.

Overview- Te Ruruku Pūtakerongo Te Ruruku Pūtakerongo honours a commitment made by the Crown in individual deeds of settlement for the eight iwi of Taranaki to negotiate collective redress in relation to Taranaki Maunga and Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki (currently known as Egmont National Park). Te Ruruku Pūtakerongo centres on the establishment of He Kawa Tupua, a new framework comprising two parts: • Te Mana o Ngā Maunga: recognising, promoting, and protecting the health and well-being of Te Kāhui Tupua and its status; and • Te Mana o Te Kāhui: recognising and providing for the mana and relationship of Ngā Iwi o Taranaki with Te Kāhui Tupua.

Te Mana o Ngā Maunga is primarily centred on the legal recognition of the legal personality of Te Kāhui Tupua, which comprises Taranaki and the other Tūpuna Maunga, incorporating all of their physical and metaphysical elements, as a living and indivisible whole.

Te Mana o Te Kāhui is primarily directed towards Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and the recognition and further reconnection of the relationship between the iwi and their Tūpuna Maunga.

A collective iwi governance entity, Te Tōpuni Ngārahu, will undertake statutory, and other, functions within the arrangements.

Crown acknowledgements and apology Te Ruruku Pūtakerongo contains a series of acknowledgements by the Crown where its historical actions arising from interaction with the eight iwi of Taranaki in relation to their Tūpuna Maunga and the national park breached Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its principles.

The Crown apology is the Crown’s formal apology for Treaty breaches as the Crown seeks to atone for past wrongs and build a renewed relationship with Ngā Iwi o Taranaki.

Te Mana o Ngā Maunga Te Mana o Ngā Maunga provides for the establishment of a new legal framework for the Tūpuna Maunga that is centred on recognition of the legal person Te Kāhui Tupua. The status of Te Kāhui Tupua and Ngā Pou Tupua](values) will be the foundation for the ongoing governance, management and administration of Te Papa-Kura-o- Taranaki.

Te Mana o Ngā Maunga comprises the following principal elements.

1. Repeal of the Mount Egmont Vesting Act 1978 The Mount Egmont Vesting Act 1978 vested Taranaki Maunga in the Taranaki Māori Trust Board, but then required it be returned immediately to the Crown “for the purposes of a National Park as a free gift and as a symbol of love to all the people of New Zealand.” Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua will repeal that Act. 2. Recognition of Te Kāhui Tupua as a legal person Te Kāhui Tupua will be recognised in legislation as a living and indivisible whole comprising Taranaki and the other Tūpuna Maunga, including Pouākai and Kaitake, from their peaks down to and including all of the surrounding lands, and incorporating all of their physical and metaphysical elements.

Te Kāhui Tupua will also be recognised as a legal person.

Reflecting the view of the Tūpuna Maunga as a living and indivisible whole, Te Kāhui Tupua will have its own legal personality with all the corresponding rights, powers, duties, and liabilities of a legal person.

While the new arrangements are focused on the national park, the legal personality extends beyond the park boundaries in accordance with the iwi view of their ancestor. Although the legal personality exists outside the national park, it does not have any direct effect on private land or the application of any legislation outside the park.

3. Ngā Pou Whakatupua (Te Kāhui Tupua values) A set of intrinsic values – Ngā Pou Whakatupua – will be set out and recognised in Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua.

These values reflect the cultural, spiritual, and historical relationships between Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and Te Kāhui Tupua.

Ngā Pou Whakatupua comprise the following five values which represent the essence of Te Kāhui Tupua: (a) Ko Te Kāhui Tupua, he rārangi maunga here ā-nuku, here ā-rangi (Te Kāhui Tupua, the mountain range binding heaven and earth) Te Kāhui Tupua is a living and indivisible whole incorporating all of its physical and metaphysical elements. (b) Ko Te Kāhui Tupua, koia ko ō mātou nei okiokinga, ko mātou nei tō rātou okiokitanga (Te Kāhui Tupua, our embodiment in life and death) Te Kāhui Tupua represents and upholds the ancestral, historical, cultural and spiritual relationship between Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and their Tūpuna Maunga. (c) Ko Te Kāhui Tupua, ko te puna i heke mai ai te tangata (Te Kāhui Tupua, from which we descend and take our identity) Te Kāhui Tupua and its health and well-being are fundamental to the identity, tikanga, reo, and health and well-being of Ngā Iwi o Taranaki. (d) Ko Tupua Kawa, ko Tawhito Kawa, he kawa ora (The TE PUNA || PAGE 9

ancestral knowledge, the ancient law, the law of existence) Te Kāhui Tupua is a source of spiritual, cultural and physical well-being for both: a. the lands, waters, flora and fauna, and other natural resources of Taranaki; and b. the people of Taranaki. (e) Ko Te Kāhui Tupua, he puna koropupū, he manawa whenua, hei mou ake nei i te tini mokopuna (Te Kāhui Tupua, a spring, a source of enduring naturally filtered water and life, protected for future generations) Ngā Iwi o Taranaki, the Crown, and the communities of Taranaki have an intergenerational responsibility actively to protect the health and well-being of Te Kāhui Tupua.

TE TŌPUNI KŌKŌRANGI: THE HUMAN FACE AND VOICE OF TE KĀHUI TUPUA Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi, made up of eight members (four appointed

by Te Tōpuni Ngārahu, and four by the Minister of Conservation), will act as the human face and voice of Te Kāhui Tupua.

Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi will act and speak on behalf of Te Kāhui Tupua, uphold and promote the legal status of Te Kāhui Tupua and Ngā Pou Whakatupua, and promote the health and wellbeing of Te Kāhui Tupua. Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi will also carry out conservation related functions for the national park, including preparing He Kawa Ora (the national park management plan) and jointly, alongside the Minister of Conservation, deciding whether to grant or decline applications for concessions or authorisations regarding interests in land (e.g. leases).

Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi will develop a relationship agreement with the Director-General of Conservation and the Minister of Conservation, and will also be able to enter into relationships with relevant agencies, local government, and the eight iwi of Taranaki.

Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua. In addition to the requirements under the National Parks Act 1980, Te PapaKura-o-Taranaki must be administered and maintained to acknowledge and uphold the status of Te Kāhui Tupua and [Ngā Pou Tupua].

The Department of Conservation will retain its operational management responsibility for budgeting, operational planning and delivery within the national park. Nothing in the arrangements displaces the rights of iwi and hapū, including the requirement for decision-makers (including the Director-General and the Minister of Conservation) to engage with iwi and hapū in accordance with section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987.

The Minister of Conservation will, except for interests in land, retain their concession decision-making role, with enhanced processes for involving Te Tōpuni Ngārahu in those decisions.

OFFICIAL GEOGRAPHIC NAMES: TE PAPA-KURA-OTARANAKI AND THE TŪPUNA MAUNGA Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki will be the official geographic name of Egmont National Park. The official alternative geographic names Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont will be removed and the name Taranaki Maunga will return to the mountain. The names of four other Tūpuna Maunga within Te Papa-Kura-oTaranaki will also have their ancestral names recognised: EXISTING NAME

The Department of Conservation will provide secretariat support to Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi with a commitment to review the secretariat role after the first 3 years.

OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF THE NATIONAL PARK Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua establishes Te Kāhui Tupua and vests the national park land in that legal person, meaning the Crown will no longer own the national park. Te Kāhui Tupua effectively owns itself, in perpetuity. The vesting will include industrial rocks and building stones that form part of the national park and five cultural minerals: •

Kōkōwai (red ochre)

•

Kōkawa (Taranaki andesite)

•

Pakohe (metamorphosed indurated mudstone otherwise known as argillite)

•

Onewa (basalt or greywacke) and

•

Matā (black obsidian)

Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki will remain a national park administered under the National Parks Act 1980, and Te PAGE 10 || TE PUNA

Patuhā HE KAWA ORA - NATIONAL PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN Central to arrangements for Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki is He Kawa Ora (the national park management plan), which will set out what activities can happen in the national park as well as setting out expected management outcomes. Existing public processes for the development of this plan are retained and will also provide processes for seeking the views of iwi and hapū with interests in Te Papa-Kura-o- Taranaki.

Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi will develop He Kawa Ora and recommend it for approval. Te Tōpuni Ngārahu and the Director-General of Conservation will each appoint a lead planner to draft the plan and provide advice to Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi throughout the process.

The Minister of Conservation and Te Tōpuni Ngārahu will jointly approve the national park management plan, and the New Zealand Conservation Authority will be provided an opportunity to comment on the draft plan before it is approved.

OTHER TE KĀHUI TUPUA ARRANGEMENTS Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua will also provide for: • the protection of the name ‘Te Kāhui Tupua’ from misuse, or from commercial use without the consent of Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi; • interim custodian arrangements for Te Kāhui Tupua for taonga tūturu found in Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki; • a tailored application of the Crown Minerals Act 1991; and • an asset management function for Te Kāhui Tupua exercised by an asset management company.

Te Mana o Te Kāhui Te Mana o Te Kāhui recognises the traditional, historical, cultural and spiritual associations Ngā Iwi o Taranaki have with their Tūpuna Maunga and Te Kāhui Tupua.

• giving approval when adding or removing land from Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki; and • appointing a representative on the Taranaki/Whanganui Conservation Board.

Te Tōpuni Ngārahu and the Director-General will explore opportunities for Ngā Iwi o Taranaki to grow their capacity and capability to participate in operational management activities.

Te Tōpuni Ngārahu will also be involved in concessions decisionmaking through a process set out in the Act. 3. Official geographic name changes Place names recognise iwi association with geographic areas.

In addition to the national park and the Tūpuna Maunga names, the following 13 names will be official geographic names: EXISTING NAME (may not be official)

Cultural materials Te Tōpuni Ngārahu will be able to authorise individual iwi members or the individual iwi Post-Settlement Governance Entities, for: (a) non-commercial cultural take of flora material within the national park; (b) possession of dead protected wildlife found within the national park; and (c)

access to riverbeds within the national park for the noncommercial cultural take of cultural minerals by hand.

5. Relationships Te Tōpuni Ngārahu will enter into a relationship agreement with the Director-General and Minister of Conservation, and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment is committed to establishing and maintaining a relationship with Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi.

6. Access to facilities Te Tōpuni Ngārahu will be offered first rights to acquire any surplus Crown-owned buildings in the national park and may explore opportunities for the use of any decommissioned building footprints within Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki for purpose built facilities, subject to being consistent with the management plan.

7. Resourcing the arrangements The Crown will provide a one-off contribution of $35 million to Te Tōpuni Ngārahu to support its establishment, participation in redress arrangements, iwi reconnection to their Tūpuna Maunga and the health and well-being of Te Kāhui Tupua.

The Department of Conservation will provide the ongoing operational funding for Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi and the fees for the four Crown appointed members.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The initialled Te Ruruku Pūtakerongo is subject to the approval of the eight iwi of Taranaki members by a vote (known as ratification). If the collective redress deed receives sufficient support, then it will be signed by Ngā Iwi o Taranaki and the Crown. The Crown will then introduce legislation to Parliament to give effect to the collective redress.

WHAT IS THE TOTAL COLLECTIVE REDRESS PACKAGE? • Crown acknowledgements and apology for historical breaches of Te Tiriti o Waitangi; • an agreed historical account; • the establishment of a new legal framework for the Tūpuna Maunga and Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki; and • cultural redress including a collective statement of relationship and connection, official geographic names, cultural materials redress, relationship redress, and access to facilities within Te Papa-Kura-o- Taranaki; and • a one-off funding contribution to Te Tōpuni Ngārahu of $35 million to support its establishment, iwi reconnection, and the health and well- being of Te Kāhui Tupua.

The redress package does not contain any financial nor commercial redress.

IS THERE ANY PRIVATE LAND OR INTERESTS INVOLVED? No private land is involved. Private interests in or relating to the land, such as concessions or other authorisations, will continue to apply for the duration of their agreements.

WHO WILL OWN THE NATIONAL PARK? The ownership of the Crown-owned parts of the national park will be vested in the legal personality, Te Kāhui Tupua, which will be its own legal person. Any private property rights, aboriginal title, or customary rights that may exist in the national park will be preserved.

This reflects a Māori perspective in which land and natural features have an identity in their own right that deserve respect and care. It neutralises the concept of ownership by reminding us that Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki is not a mere possession but is a treasured place that requires respect and careful stewardship.

WILL TE PAPA-KURA-O-TARANAKI STILL BE A NATIONAL PARK? Yes. The land will continue to be managed under the National Parks Act 1980, with some modifications to accommodate the agreed redress. This includes key principles such as protection in perpetuity, public freedom of entry and access, and clear recognition of the rights of iwi and hapū with connection to Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki.

WHO WILL MANAGE TE PAPA-KURA-O-TARANAKI AFTER THE COLLECTIVE REDRESS LEGISLATION IS PASSED? The Department of Conservation will retain operational management responsibility for the national park including budgeting, operational planning and delivery within the national park. The Department of Conservation and the Minister of Conservation will consult and engage with Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi on various conservation related functions. Te Tōpuni Kōkōrangi will also have a role in monitoring the implementation of the national park management plan. All operational decision-making will be guided by He Kawa Ora national park management plan, and must be consistent with the National Parks Act 1980, conservation general policy and Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui Tupua (the collective redress legislation).

ARE THE PUBLIC’S RIGHTS AFFECTED? No, the public shall retain the right of freedom of entry and access to Te Papa- Kura-o-Taranaki for inspiration, enjoyment, and recreation.

ARE ANY PLACE NAMES CHANGED? Yes, Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki will be the official name for Egmont National Park. In addition, there will be 18 new or changed official geographic names, including changing the name of the highest peak to Taranaki Maunga.

WHEN WILL THE COLLECTIVE REDRESS TAKE EFFECT? The collective redress will take effect 70 working days following the enactment of Te Pire Whakatupua mō Te Kāhui (the collective redress legislation).

DO THE IWI OF TARANAKI HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME BACK AND MAKE FURTHER CLAIMS ABOUT THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE CROWN IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES? Not in relation to the Tūpuna Maunga and the national park. All historical Tiriti o Waitangi claims (relating to events before 21 September 1992) in relation to Taranaki Maunga and Te PapaKura-o-Taranaki are settled through the individual settlements of the eight iwi of Taranaki, which prevents the iwi re- litigating those Treaty claims before the Waitangi Tribunal or the courts.

As is the case for all settlements for historical claims, the individual settlements still allow [the eight iwi of Taranaki] to pursue claims against the Crown for acts or omissions after 21 September 1992 in relation to the Tūpuna Maunga and the national park.

WHO BENEFITS FROM THE COLLECTIVE REDRESS? All members of the eight iwi of Taranaki wherever they may now live. He Kawa Tupua, the new framework centred on the recognition of the legal person, will also bring benefits to the health and well-being of the Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains).

HE KŌRERO TŪPUNA Written by Hilary Mitchell

Pirika Tanginui Pirika Tanginui was a Ngāti Tama tupuna associated with Aorere and Tukurua in Mohua. He was a very early convert to Christianity, baptised Wesleyan at Te Awaiti in Tory Channel on 1 August 1841. Pirika, his baptismal name, is probably a transliteration of Felix.

Pirika Tanginui was awarded just over 5 acres of Aorere reserve F, jointly with Inia Te Hunahuna, and 100 acres as sole owner in Aorere Section 5; Pirika purchased the other 50 acres of Section 5 from the Government. He also inherited or retained interests in land at Ōhanga, Whaitara in Taranaki.

Pirika married Kataraina Te Ihonga (aka Kataraina Moari or Katarina Te Ha), daughter of Te Ranginohokau and Meira Meira of Tukurua. Pirika moved to Tukurua where he and Kataraina maintained ahi kā after her parents’ death. According to baptism records, they had at least 9 children; the first was born in 1845 and 5 grew to adulthood; Pirihira, Harawira (Wīremu), Erena, Hopiha, Mata, Te Rihi (Taura), Meriana, Pirini and Kaita (Raita).

However, in 1888, only four including Pirihira, Harawira, Mata and Te Rihi were listed as persons entitled to the Wellington Tenths.

Te Ranginohokau (Ngāti Tama) and Inia Te Hunahuna (Te Āti Awa) are represented in their respective carvings in the whare tūpuna Te Ao Mārama, at Onetahua marae in Mohua (Golden Bay).

Pirika is registered on the Massacre Bay Electoral Roll for 1857 and 1858 as farmer and freeholder of Tukurua. Both he and Kataraina signed an 1856 Ngāti Tama Deed ceding their claims in Massacre Bay for L 110.

(Tanginui Pirika) In 1855 Tinline, a Government agent, investigating a dispute over land ownership with a Pākehā family wrote of Pirika: “He bears a good character as an obliging and industrious man, and it appears that he had fenced in and cropped a portion of these old cultivations…” i.e. the disputed land. In 1865, Alexander Mackay, Commissioner of Native Reserves, recognised the rights of the Pirika whānau at Tukurua.

A Pākehā neighbour, Elizabeth Caldwell, hoped for Māori help with her laundry, but quickly dismissed the idea of employing “….our nearest neighbours, old Catherine and Pirika her spouse were far above working for hire – she being a great Rangatira.”

And when war broke out in Taranaki, she recorded “…our Māori friends began to look very sullen and silent – old Piraka was busy casting bullets ‘to shoot the white man’ he said when the boys questioned him.”

At some time in the 1870s the Pirika whānau left Tukurua to live in Taranaki, and Pirika Tanginui died at Parihaka in about 1880.

The Caldwell family thought Tukurua was abandoned after a number of tuberculosis deaths there, but the whānau may have moved to protect their lands under threat in Taranaki, and to support the Parihaka protest movement as other Ngāti Tama whānau did like the Rāmeka whānau of Tākaka.

The Mitchell whānau of Tākaka are descendants of Pirika Tanginui who have maintained ahi kā since the 1830s. The Tōpine whānau who shifted to Tākaka in 1978 are also Pirika descendants. Eddie Tōpine was caretaker at Onetahua marae until his untimely death on December 16, 2022. He is buried at Rototai cemetery in Tākaka.

Meri Rangiauahi Mōrehu and whānau, c. 1918-1920: L. to R.: Hoani Meihana, Ruka (Luke) Mitchell, Ngāwati Mitchell (nee Mōrehu), Meira Meira Teihonga Mōrehu, Takarangi Mōrehu, Hārata Mōrehu; seated - Meri Rangiauahi Mōrehu. Children of Ngāwati and Luke Mitchell

Ngā Pouwhenua After several months of planning and preparation, the fourth and final pouwhenua was blessed and unveiled in an intimate ceremony at Tasman School on Wednesday 22 March 2023. The pouwhenua called Te Mamaku takes its name from an ancient pā site located on the nearby Kina Peninsula.

The other three pouwhenua are situated at Motupipi School near Tākaka, and Ngā Tīmoti and Mahana Schools near Motueka. They represent the four primary schools that were part of the Ngāti Tama ki Te Waipounamu Trust Treaty Settlement claim in 2013.

The pou are a reminder of the enduring relationship that Ngāti Tama has with all four schools and their local communities.

The Ngāti Tama board and staff would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge our resident Ōtūwhero carver, Tim Wraight for his dedication and passion in completing this ongoing project in a timely manner. We are most grateful. Tēnā koe e Tim me ō mahi rangatira.

We would also like to acknowledge all four schools, the children, staff, parents and the local communities for your contribution to the wonderful occasions enjoyed by everyone, over the last four years. Tēnā koutou katoa.

AHUWHENUA | ENHANCE OUR SIGNIFICANT LANDS AND WATERWAYS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT (RMA) REFORM

WATER SERVICES REFORM

The Government is proposing to repeal the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and replace it with three new Acts: the Spatial Planning (‘SP’) Act, the Natural and Built Environment (‘NBE’) Act and the Climate Adaptation Act. The SP and NBE Bills are currently before Select Committee where many iwi across the country have made submissions for consideration by the committee. The Climate Adaption Bill will be introduced to Parliament later this year and will go through a similar process to seek feedback and submissions from iwi, local bodies, and the business community sectors.

The early proposals for reforms were triggered by a 2016 campylobacter outbreak in Havelock North which left four people dead and thousands sick.

Given Ngāti Tama (alongside other Tauihu iwi) currently have RMA-related redress in our Treaty settlement deeds and legislation, the Government has proposed that changes be madeto our Settlement Deed and Legislation in order for the proposed changes to be aligned and upheld in the new RMA system. The Crown has set out that both Bills will include a commitment to uphold the integrity, intent and effect of all Treatysettlements in the new resource management system.

Ngāti Tama management and the Crown have carried out an initial analysis on the impacts that the new system might have on the Ngāti Tama Treaty settlement which include (amongst other matters) key aspects to ensure our Statutory Acknowledgements and Protocols are upheld and the River and Freshwater Advisory Committee (‘RFAC’).

Statutory acknowledgements require local authorities and courts to take certain actions before making decisions that may impact on the cultural values in areas to which they apply.

Mostly they relate to resource consent processes. The River and Freshwater Advisory Committee is an advisory entity consisting of eight iwi appointees (including Ngāti Tama) and has a statutory function to advise on river and freshwater matters in the Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman regions. The RFAC can also provide advice on reviews, preparation and changes to, and notification of, RMA planning documents. The RFAC has not been constituted yet but there are opportunities to participate in local decision making.

In order for the Ngāti Tama Treaty settlement arrangements to be maintained within the proposed reforms, the Crown needs to seek agreement from the iwi to make the necessary changes to the Ngāti Tama Deed of Settlement and Ngāti Tama Claims Settlement Act 2003.

Following any agreed changes, the Ngāti Tama Treaty settlement legislation will be signed via a deed to amend and introduced to Parliament.

BACKGROUND: How did we get here?

In May 2017, under the previous National Government, an official inquiry criticised councils for failing to safeguard town water supplies. By June, then-Local Government Minister Anne Tolley proposed a cross-agency review of the three waters stormwater, drinking water and wastewater - to Cabinet.

In July 2019, a Government inquiry into contamination recommended a dedicated water regulator and stronger Government stewardship of wastewater and stormwater.

A year later in 2020, the Labour Government launched its Three Waters Reform programme. At the time it was estimated to cost $761m. The Government also passed the Taumata Arowai Water Services Regulator Act, which created the water regulator Taumata Arowai.

In June 2021, then-Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta provided more detail on the reform, including a four-entity model. That would establish four water services entities across the country. The Government argued this scale would allow for the amount of borrowing needed to fund infrastructure upgrades - something local and regional councils are unable to do. The early proposals were all optional for councils during this time, but the ensuing months saw the government change tact making the reforms compulsory, triggering opposition from many regulatory bodies and interest groups alike.

Ngāti Tama’s submission supported the intent of the overall reforms but expressed concern that the approach to governance and management would not produce meaningful mana whenua involvement, possibly undermine public accountability, and place all Te Tauihu Iwi in a water services entity that presided over a geographic area that included, Wellington district, Wairarapa, Hawkes Bay, Poverty Bay and the East Coast of the North Island up to East Cape.

In December 2022, the Water Services Entities Bill passed, which would establish the four new water service entities.

In January 2023, following the resignation of former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, a Cabinet reshuffle under Chris Hipkins’ premiership saw Minister Nanaia Mahuta replaced as Local Government Minister by Kieran McAnulty.

In April 2023, the Government, following engagement with the local government sector to better understand their concerns, announced the new ‘Affordable Water Reform’ plan. The reform programme has four key outcomes: •

safe, reliable drinking water

•

better environmental performance of wastewater and stormwater services

•

efficient, sustainable, resilient and accountable multiregional water and sewage services

•

making it affordable for future generations

FROM ‘3 WATERS’ TO AFFORDABLE WATER REFORMS How do these differ to the Three Waters Reforms initially proposed?

For Te Tauihu, we move from what was known as Entity C to Entity H (see diagram below). Regional Representative Group’s have been maintained under the new Affordable Water Reforms, and in the case of Te Tauihu, there will be three Council seats and three mana whenua/tangata whenua seats on the Regional Representative Group.

Regional Representative Groups (RRGs) are the partnership between Council and iwi/Māori. RRGs provide strategic oversight and direction but have no role in the day-to-day governance and operation of WSEs. The role of the RRG for each entity is to:

TE WĀNANGA WHAKAMANA I TE MOANA O TE TAI O AORERE

WATER CONSERVATION ORDER (WCO) TE WAIKOROPUPŪ SPRINGS

Written by: Dayveen Stephens

(April 17-18 2023)

The wānanga was led by Aneika Young (Cawthron Institute, Stuart Donaldson (DOC Marine Reserve Specialist) and supported by Renee Thomas (Wakatū Inc). There were close to 25 participants at the wānanga. Representatives from the rōpū Karioi Whakatupuranga Rangatahi, DOC staff, Tasman Bay Guardian members, Ngāti Koata whānau, Ngāti Rārua and Ngāti Tama – Hana Mason and Te Pūoho Ki Te Rangi Stephens were in attendance.

The wānanga was delivered with a two-pronged approach, that is, through a Mātauranga Māori and a scientific lens. The Mātauranga Māori component was led by Ngāti Rārua whānau member Edwina Wehi (Edz). Aneika and Stu led the science component. The purpose of the wānanga was to help whānau better understand our taonga species both in the moana and the waterways. This would potentially be used as a guide for iwi to design and establish their own Cultural Health Indicator Monitoring Framework.

After karakia, mihi and whakawhanaungatanga on Day One, the first session on Pūwaha monitoring took place at Mārahau. It was mainly an observation exercise to identify taonga, kai and tohu species. The activity was to demonstrate our awareness and understanding and in this instance of tuangi (cockles).

On Day Two, the snorkelling trip to the Tonga Island Marine Reserve, was cancelled due to the strong winds and currents.

It was replaced with a water taxi trip to Rākauroa | Anchorage, where our whānau had the opportunity to snorkel in the bay which was led by the Tasman Bay Guardians. Upon returning to Kaiteretere, we debriefed and finished with karakia.

Ngāti Tama has been championing the Water Conservation Order (WCO) on behalf of all the iwi of Te Tauihu through the Environment Court since its inception in 2018.

Based on the premise that Te Waikoropupū will be kept in a pristine condition for the generations to come is the collective responsibility of the stake holders, the council, the community at large and the eight iwi of Te Tauihu.

The last of the hearings spanning almost eleven months was held online to finalise the details before the submission is made to the new Minister of Conservation, Hon. Willow-Jean Prime.

Special mention should be made to our co-applicant Andrew Yuill for his ongoing monitoring work and unyielding support of this important kaupapa. E Ānaru tēnei a Tama e mihi nei.

Also, to the community groups, ‘Friends of Golden Bay’ and ‘Save our Springs’, we are indeed very grateful for your support from the outset. E te Pāpā Kevin, tēnā koutou katoa.

We are mindful of the many people who have played an integral role in forging forward with this project for the betterment of all. Congratulations are in order for the team who have carried this kaupapa from inception through to its fruition. E Kura, nāu tēnei kaupapa i morimori, nā koutou ko Margie, ko Aunty Mākere me te hunga kua ngaro atu nei i te tirohanga kanohi.

Moe mai rā koutou, e okioki.

A ruling on the submission will be made public in due course.

TE WAIKOROPUPŪ SPRINGS RESOURCE UPDATE

The learnings from this wānanga include the following opportunities; 1. To explore a Ngāti Tama Cultural Health Indicator Monitoring Framework (NTCHIMF) 2. To align the NTCHIMF with the Wai Hā a Ngāti Tama strategy

The Ngāti Tama Communications team is proud to announce the Te Waikoropupū Springs Resource is available for use in schools. The resource is a collection of historical, ecological and scientific accounts and approaches to ensuring the care and management of the springs going forward. It is intended as an online educational tool for ages 8+.

AHUORA | EXPLORE OPTIONS TO SUPPORT WHĀNAU WELLBEING AND INDEPENDENCE GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS Written by: Nikita Tākai

Last year the Ngāti Tama ki Te Waipounamu Trust Board carried out a review to continue to support whānau wellbeing and independence. As a result of the review, a framework was built to underpin our grants inspired by our values. We are committed to: 1. Providing whānau with long term tools for financial education, planning and navigator services.

2. Assisting Rangatahi with their education journeys.

3. Uplifting the wairua of our whānau by assisting with hauora grants.

4. Supporting our whānau to help with costs associated with raising their whānau and encouraging members to attend Tama events.

The above framework has prompted some new initiatives for example the establishment of a new grant – Tama Tū – which is aimed at supporting our whānau who are experiencing hardship.

It has also initiated the development of a network of navigator services across the motu we can refer whānau onto to provide additional and ongoing support.

While the financial year stil has a few months left in it, overall, we have noted there has been a greater uptake in grants than we had last year, especially in the pre-school to secondary level grants.

Whānau member Te Pūoho Stephens racked up his 100th premier game for Marist Club in a convincing win over Stoke at Trafalgar Park, Wakatū on 29 April this year. Te Pūoho led his team out onto the field to start the game, which also doubled as his debut for the season.

Since the age of 6 years old, Te Pūoho has played for the Nelson Marist Club alongside his brother Paremata who was five years old at the time. Te Pūoho acknowledges his whānau and his supporters who have been there since day one. “I know a lot of the boys have played 100 games, but I’m happy to have stayed at this club and played for this long.”

The decision to run on with some of the older boys in the starting lineup was part of the celebrations of Te Pūoho’s 100th game. “Marist wanted to celebrate one of our stalwarts in the club. We wanted to make sure the old boys were around him.”

STEVE DELANEY Steve Delaney of Ngāti Tama ki Te Tauihu/Te Ātiawa represented New Zealand in the International Blind Bowls Association (IBBA) World Championships which took part on the Gold Coast of Australia from the 5th - 15th March 2023.

Te Pūoho has many sporting successes, this achievement is high on this list next to his New Zealand Men’s 7’s debut in Las Vegas and Vancouver series in 2018. Te Pūoho thanks the support Ngāti Tama has given him over the years which also have contributed to this success.

Champs in 2026 and Steve is hungry to exceed his debut performance.

Well done on your success Steve. We look forward to seeing you play in Aotearoa in 2026.

In the final morning game, Sally Marston (Tony East) and Steve Delaney (director Dean Wood) played a strong game to beat South Africa 17-12 and came away with a silver medal in the B4 mixed pairs (Dean Wood) and also making his International debut - a marvellous achievement.

Steve has a disease in his eyes called retinitis pigmentosa.

This disease has slowly reduced his vision to 6* of central vision (severe tunnel vision). He has been playing lawn bowls for five years and holds four National titles. Steve was selected to represent New Zealand back in 2020, however, the global pandemic denied him the opportunity. This was the most successful IBBA world championships in Aotearoa New Zealand ‘BlindJacks’ history. Winning a total of five medals - four bronze and a silver. New Zealand will be hosting the next IBBA World

NGĀTI TAMA KŌRERO ‘MORIMORITIA NGĀ TAONGA TUKU IHO EXHIBITION E rere rā (07.04.23) All eight iwi of Te Tauihu were invited to open the latest exhibition – ‘Morimoritia ngā taonga’ – Treasured: Objects of Mana & Significance at the Nelson Provincial Museum in early April.

Included in the exhibition are an array of taonga from iwi within Te Tauihu and other parts of Aotearoa, contributions from private collections.

Representing Tonga and the local Pasifika community, a ceremonial ‘ngatu’ (tapa or barkcloth) adorned with floral and geometric patterns known as Fata ‘o Tu ‘i Tonga, Tokelau Feletoa, Fo ‘i Hea and Sisi (garland). Such ngatu were cut down so smaller pieces could be distributed as gifts. The exhibition is open from April 6 until July 9.

TE HURA KŌHATU KI ROTOTAI Unveiling of John Tahana Ward-Holmes 08.04.23 At the end of Term One this year, the school holidays and Easter break gave whānau the ideal opportunity to return to Te Tauihu and Onetahua Marae. The occasions were our inaugural wānanga waiata which dovetailed nicely into the unveiling for our well known and respected tauheke John Tahana Ward-Holmes.

Close to a hundred whānau, friends and iwi representatives gathered at the Rototai cemetery near Tākaka on Easter Saturday to unveil the memorial stone for Koro John. The service was overseen by Rev. Harvey Ruru with words of tribute being offered by iwi, whānau, friends and members of the local community.

At the conclusion of the service, everyone was invited back to ‘the bach’ to share in kai and more kōrero. Our aroha and best wishes to Chrissy, their mokopuna, immediate family and the extended Ward-Holmes whānau. Tēnā koutou.

HE WĀNANGA WAIATA E rere rā (07.04.23) The first wānanga waiata for iwi members and office staff was held at Onetahua marae prior to the unveiling of John WardHolmes at Easter. The main focus of the hui was to address the need to build upon our repertoire of items to support our paepae.

It drew upon a mixture of traditional and contemporary learning styles to cater for the range of abilities and experiences of the group.

The wānanga began with an explanation of the waiata ‘E rere rā’ composed by the iwi of Muaūpoko from the Horowhenua area who were staunch supporters of the Parihaka prophet Tohu Kākahi.

The other waiata taught included generic action songs and mōteatea to create a more cohesive environment within the Ngāti Tama extended whānau for support at future iwi hui and gatherings. Our monthly kapa haka sessions are also another platform to celebrate the Huānganui thread of the wider Ngāti Tama reo strategy.

TE RĀKAU PAKIAKA 2023

Ngāti Tama staff and iwi members were recently involved in the first of a series of three wānanga called Te Rākau Pakiaka, hosted at Onetahua marae in Mohua. Our General Manager, Hēmi Sundgren, along with other experts including Jamie Tuuta, Mitchell Rītai, Ānaru Wilkie, Morrie Love and John Dobson to name a few, have been instrumental in supporting this concept. The wānanga are hosted by the Wakatū Inc. staff who nominate about a dozen members at a time to participate in the programme at the local marae in Onetahua, Motueka and Whakatū. Tribal repositories share their knowledge of historical accounts about the hekenga – the migration of tribal groupings with affiliations mainly to Taranaki and Waikato, to Te Tauihu o Te Waka a Māui during the early 1800’s.

The programme included visits to particular sites of significance to add context to the learnings gained by the participants. The first of the visits was to the Wainui Inlet and falls reputed to be the area of the lair of the fabled taniwha, Ngārara Huarau. Some oral traditions recall the taniwha being tricked by a female captive seeking to escape, by setting him alight. In his attempt to flee the fire, his tail broke off and landed in a pool beneath the Wainui Falls. Hence the redbrown blood stained appearance of the water.

The group were next hosted by the Tasman District Councillor for Golden Bay, Chris Hill, to view the ancient waka found at Anaweka on the Kahurangi coast in January 2012. It’s currently being held at the Fonterra site in Tākaka until alternative arrangements can be made for its long term storage and care.

And lastly, the group was formally welcomed to Te Waikoropupū Springs, given the long standing involvement of Ngāti Tama in seeking a Water Conservation Order (WCO) through the Environment Court. After several years of litigation, that started in 2017-18, the final judgement from the Minister for the Environment, Hon. David Parker, which is currently pending, will attempt to ensure that the ongoing health of the springs is maintained for the use and enjoyment of future generations.

Te Pou Whakatairanga (Whānau Development Specialist) and wānanga organiser, Īhaka Griffin-Matthews, is ‘thrilled with this year’s intake and looks forward to another successful year ahead’. He was very appreciative of the strong Ngāti Tama presence this year. The next two wānanga will be held at Te Āwhina marae (Motueka) in June and Whakatū marae (Nelson) in July.

EVENTS AND UPDATES

NIKITA TĀKAI Nikita joined Ngāti Tama in November 2019 after having moved back to the rohe from Te Whanganui-a-Tara.

She has previously worked in the health sector at the Medical Council of New Zealand and moved back to Whakatū in May 2019 to be closer to her whānau.

In starting at Ngāti Tama, Nikita took up a position as the Pouāwhina working closely with two General Managers, providing Board secretariat services and general administration duties to the tari.

Nikita then became our Pou Raraunga, undertaking projects to improve internal IT systems as well as working with the Whakapapa Committee to register new iwi members. She also supported the Grants Committee to provide grants and scholarships to the whānau.

Across her time at the Trust, Nikita has loved spending time with the whānau through Ngāti Tama events and would like to thank you for a fantastic experience at the Trust.

Nikita has taken up a role at the Department of Internal Affairs to be part of the Affordable Waters Programme and we wish her all the best in the future.

Sun 29th October – Thur 2nd November 2023 TRAFALGAR CENTRE, NELSON Te Mana Kuratahi is the National Primary Schools Kapa Haka competition. The competitions are a week-long event that brings together 45 of the best primary and intermediate aged kapa haka groups from around Aotearoa. This is the first time this event will be hosted in the South Island and we are delighted to be hosting this event in preparation for the other national events we will host in the next 5 years.

The event will bring approximately 1800 performers and 7000 spectators into the region with a workforce of around 200 volunteers required.

Given Te Tauihu is the host region for this event, it’s important that we showcase our world-renowned manaakitanga/hospitality to the multitudes who will visit our region. We have a collective responsibility as kaitiaki of the kaupapa to ensure our visitors are welcomed with open arms and shown the highest quality hospitality – it’s going to take all of us to achieve this.
