Nā te Kaiwhakahaere

Mataia te horonga whakapapapounamu, Tangaroa maheni taiāwhio. Whakatauhā ko te maire rangi, ka eke ka eke.

Taramainuku me tō kupenga rāhiri, terea tonutia tō waka I te rangi e. Ko te kōrangaranga, ko te pūkōnohinohi mō ērā kei tua. Haere ki te okiokinga mutungakore, te kainga e kore e kitea e te tangata. Koi mātao te kiri I te ngarohanga e. Hoki ora mai ki te Ao mārama, tīhewa mauri ora.

Kia ora mai rā e te whānau. As usual, this is a busy time of year with lots of exciting events to reflect on and many more to look forward to in the weeks ahead.

One of the highlights of the last month was hosting a delegation of leading Chinese Jade experts and dignitaries on behalf of Ngāti Waewae and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. The delegation was here from 18-25 September to progress the establishment of a pounamu carving institute in Aotearoa, which will use the skills of both Ngāi Tahu and Chinese master carvers to train a new generation of budding artists. I enjoyed the time I spent with the delegation in Auckland and Hokitika, strengthening our relationship and sharing a mutual appreciation for our taonga, pounamu. It was wonderful to receive positive feedback from the group for the hospitality received while in Aotearoa.

I was also fortunate enough to be able to spend some more time on Te Tai Poutini for the annual i-SITE Conference in Greymouth, which brought together staff from visitor centres all around the country. I was honoured to deliver a keynote address to the conference, highlighting our Ngāi Tahu vision for the future, and the many tourism opportunities that the beautiful natural landscape of the West Coast has to offer.

Last month I attended a meeting of the Interim Climate Change Committee (ICCC) in Wellington. As the Deputy Chair for the ICCC, I was invited to deliver the keynote speech.

This was a fantastic opportunity to emphasise the importance of ensuring an iwi voice is heard in the conversation about climate change. I truly believe that a transition to a net zero emissions economy has the best chance of success with an active Treaty partnership between the Crown and iwi.

This issue has been at the forefront as at our last Te Rūnanga board meeting the governance team fully endorsed He Rautaki mō te Huringa Āhua o te Rangi – The Ngāi Tahu Climate Change Strategy. This comprehensive plan has been two years in the making, and I know the Strategy & Influence team are looking forward to travelling around Te Waipounamu to launch it with our Papatipu Rūnanga.

On 19 September, we marked 125 years of women’s suffrage in Aotearoa, a significant milestone that was celebrated with an array of events up and down Te Waipounamu. We continue to do very well, and I am heartened when I consider how far we have come in the last 125 years.

Wāhine have always played a leading role in our iwi, a tradition which is continued at Te Rūnanga where more than half of our governance team are female, and women are well-represented in leadership roles throughout the organisation.

However, I am also reminded of the many wāhine in our communities that still face serious inequity in their daily lives. It is our responsibility to advocate for them, especially as we take the time to celebrate the movement that won women the vote all those years ago.

As we reflect upon the past, we also acknowledge the passing of the Ngāi Tahu Settlement Bill in Parliament in 1998. Every year our staff celebrate this occasion with Settlement Day, a chance to head out of the office and spend the day helping out across our Papatipu Rūnanga communities. This year we had teams visiting Tuahiwi, 2

Tūhaitara Coastal Park, Ōnuku, Taumutu, Rāpaki, Koukourarata and Moeraki. As always it was wonderful to see our staff fully immerse themselves in this kaupapa, acknowledging the hard work done by those who brought home the Ngāi Tahu Settlement.

At this time of year, we also reflect on the outcomes of the settlement when Te Rūnanga issues its annual report, setting out the activities and distributions of Te Rūnanga Group for the previous year.

This year I am honoured to report a total net profit of $150m for the last financial year, which resulted in a $61m distribution to Te Rūnanga to support the social, cultural, environmental and economic aspirations of our people.

This is another wonderful result and is one of several key highlights and achievements for the last year.

I encourage you all to take the time to look through the annual report which you will have received with this issue of Te Pānui Rūnaka. It is also available on the Ngāi Tahu website: (https://ngaitahu.iwi.nz/investment/ ngai-tahu-annual-reports/2018annual-report/) Hui-ā-Tau 2018 will be held at Ōnuku Marae on Saturday 24 November starting at 10:00am. I look forward to this opportunity to report back to you directly, and to the subsequent celebrations hosted by Ōnuku in honour of the 25th anniversary of their Whare Tīpuna. I hope to see as many whānau there as possible.

Finally, I would like to close this pānui by acknowledging all those who have left us in recent weeks, including Cavan O’Connell, the father of Te Rūnanga governor David PerenaraO’Connell, who passed away on 7 October with his whānau at his side.

My deepest aroha is with David and his whānau, and all those who have farewelled a loved one.

Ko te rika toi i whakamanahia ai

What is ‘Ko te rika toi i whakamanahia ai’?

This headline simply translates to reference ‘The cover artist’. This is a small section of Te Pānui Rūnaka where we are able to acknowledge and thank the artist who kindly offers their artwork for the cover each month. We hope you can gain some insight into the artwork depicted on the front page and into the life of the person who created this beautiful piece. If you want to know more about this artist or contribute your own artwork, email Te Pānui Rūnaka editor Arielle Monk: tpr@ngaitahu.iwi.nz Carolyn Robertson, Te Pānui Rūnaka October cover artist – titled ‘Totara – Banks Peninsula’ Our cover artist this month hails from Moeraki and lives in Ōtautahi. Carolyn says she has used art throughout the years as a source of healing and creative outlet, and recently began trying out collage for fun. The image on the cover depicts Pipers Valley in Duvauchelle on Banks Peninsula, where her sister lives. It’s an important place for her to spend time; she often escapes from the city to Akaroa Harbour for some peace and quiet. Carolyn also has two grown sons who live in Nelson, and two treasured mokopuna.

National i-SITE conference

This year Greymouth i-SITE hosted the National i-SITE Conference, bringing over 150 people to Te Tai Poutini. A pōwhiri to welcome them all was held at Arahura Marae. The hui included an evening of celebrations at the marae, sharing yummy kai and a display of some of the great tourism adventures Te Tai Poutini has to offer.

Te Hui Ahurei Kapa Haka o Te Tai Poutini

The rūnanga offers a big mihi to all the kura that performed, and also congratulations to those who received taonga this year. It is so refreshing to see more and more kura perform kapa haka each year. To all your kaiako and whānau – a special mihi to you for keeping kapa haka alive in our community.

Westland High School hosted the 2018 Te Hui Ahurei Kapa Haka o Te Tai Poutini, in which more than 20 schools participated. This year, the competition included an Area School section, which was won by Karamea Area School. Hokitika Primary School won the Primary School section and Westland High the secondary school section.

Westland High School staff, students and whānau did such an awesome job of setting up the gymnasium and providing the stalls.

Mahi rūnaka

The rūnaka has been busy with our usual monthly hui, rūnanganui hui and all additional hui. We have been using Zoom (much like Skype) to communicate with whānau who do not live in our rohe but are still involved with the rūnaka, and this is working well.

Aotea project

Te Rūnaka o Makaawhio, in conjunction with GNS Science (a Crown research institute) are currently undertaking an aotea sustainability project. We have completed a second whānau wānaka at Te Tauraka a Māui Marae in Mahitahi, allowing whānau to get involved, learn and participate in the mātauranga side of the project.

Our next wānaka will follow up with a field trip and fieldwork to identify and map the unique geography and geology of our aotea taonga. This research will enhance our ability to manage our taonga safely and sustainably.

Overall, it was a successful weekend with delicious kai and great company. We even borrowed a cuzzy’s TV to watch the All Blacks lose on the Saturday night.

After being given an overview of the project, whānau were separated into groups to share and increase our collective knowledge, thoughts and experiences around aotea. Whānau also shared their knowledge and first memories of aotea and what it means to them through interviews. Further interviews also took place later in Hokitika and Ōtautahi.

Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae - bookings

Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae in Mahitahi have some busy times coming up with group bookings, whānau bookings and hui being held over the next couple of months. Get in touch if you want to book the marae for your hui, whānau reunion or celebrations.

Project to correct the spelling of place names in South Westland Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio is currently running a project to see the correct spelling of place names in South Westland acknowledged and reflected in official signage.

Many place names were spelled incorrectly in the 19th century, and some of these incorrect spellings became officially recognised by the Department of Lands and Survey. In 1897, the kaumātua at Makaawhio gave the correct spellings of many place names to the Department. This document is a valuable source of information that is being used to support official recognition of the correct traditional names of our important places.

We have applied to the New Zealand Geographic Board to correct the spelling of the Waitangitaona River to Waitangitahuna. This is the first application in an ongoing project to correct the spelling of several important place names in South Westland. Future applications being planned include changing the Waiho River to Waiau, the Poerua River to Poueruatahuna and the Mahitahi River to Maitahi.

Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke Settlement Day at Rāpaki

Lots of planting has been going on in the māra kai and around the marae this kōanga, while the lambs cry and the blossoms bloom. Te Pā o Rākaihautū has been out to help with more hands in the earth and even the manager got amongst it!

We were lucky enough to host 16 kaimahi from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu on Settlement Day, who helped with a whole range of mahi around the pā, including oiling the church floor, planting near Ōmaru Stream, and collecting and burning scrub. Kā nui te mihi ki a koutou katoa.

Ka Awatea

Opening of Lyttelton Museum The Lyttelton Museum site opened on 25 September with a miniature gallery and exhibition and will be showing new works every full moon until December. Ngāti Wheke named the event Ka Awatea – a time of awakening and new beginnings – and supported by providing kai for those present, as well as live music from the talented Byllie Jean.

There were outdoor installations and a miniature gallery featuring artwork by 11 local artists responding to items in the Lyttelton Museum collection.

Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga September - October - pānui from Aunty Pat Well it’s that time again with all the gossip. But first, my condolences to all who have lost loved ones, also to those who are in hospital and who are sick. Love to you all and hurry up and get better. I was sick the other week. I had a bit of a runny nose and I thought 'gosh I’ve got the flu' but it only lasted one day – shame! I used my Vicks and hello, all’s well. No runny nose so I was able to run to the pokies – “naughty naughty”.

Ramona had her birthday in town last month too and no, I can’t tell you her age, but she is getting on a little (eh Ramona, ha ha ha!).

We have quiz nights at the marae, card tournaments like euchre, or maybe poker, or crib – so cool. Then we have hui with plenty of kai of course. Our school children have their kapa haka concert at Ōhoka Hall this week and of course, our Pipiwharauroa netball competition plays. I played in the first team, about 1930 or something, I think there’s only two of us left, Kath Piper. Don’t know her married name though. When Rik Tau died, cousin Toko and I were sitting at the table for the hākari and a Māori boy sat down beside us. So we got talking and acting the fool, then this boy said my mother comes from here – and of course I’m all ears! I asked who she was, and he said Kathleen Paipeta. It was lovely to catch up on how my old friend was doing. Don’t ask me the boy’s name though, I’ve forgotten.

This weather is not very good for us young people.

The marae is still very busy with hui every week, meetings every day and night. One of our office staff has gone down south as her mother Mateka is not very well, but all is good. I said to Crete, "bring her home and we can go out to you know where." She said "Trust you Aunty, but Mum would like that." Aroha Hohipera had a Mōrehu Day on Thursday last week – what a day and the crowd was wonderful! It was so interesting listening to all the kōrero from different people. I think some of them were really hard cases, but in a nice way. Oh and the Rātana band from our Church brought the crowd in, so I had to have a little tangi because Aunt Jane and I used to hula up in the middle of the floor of the old whare – the band brought back lovely memories of those days. I’ll let Aroha tell you more about the day.

No, I haven’t fallen into any more ditches – but I did back in to a post at my daughter Michele’s house, but all is good, no damage done. Well my car has just arrived to take me to get new glasses. I bet you all thought I was going somewhere else – you never know. I don’t think so, it’s too cold so till next time, might be more news instead of all about me.

Oh what do you know, my nephew Grenville brought me in some whitebait the other day. It was still kicking in the packet and do you know what, I don’t think he got to my corner and I had it in the pan. Yum yum. Thanks nephew.

So love to you all and to my cuz Charles and the rest of the cuzzies Love you all, K.K.K. 8

Aroha’s 80th birthday week

just like she used to play during her era as President of MWWL 1990-1993. Competitions are on now! Then, a beautiful fur coat from the Reriti-Jones whānau, gifted because fur coats always reminded Taua’s baby son Huia Reriti of his own Taua Metapere.

Nā, Reriti Tau We had a great time celebrating Taua Aroha ReritiCrofts' 80th birthday week from 27 August – 2 September. Thank you to everyone who joined in and played a part whether ā-tīnana, ā-wairua, ā-Facebook, ā-Te Pānui Rūnaka rānei. We’ve had many whānau ask us to let them know what we did to celebrate as they’re not on Facebook so here’s a snapshot from the week of activities.

Day 3: Pool party time!

Taua has a fantastic bunch of pool mates and today was their morning with Taua, surprising her at Robert Harris at Northlands Mall. Taua thought she was just going to meet up in the food court with six or so of her mates from the small pool – then, hello, 26 of them were already there! Thank you Elaine Thurlow for organising this. Come the evening, Taua spent time with Matapopore and whanaunga who all sung ‘happy birthday’ to her at The Great Hall for Toi Aotearoa Creative NZ. Thank you to the Matapopore team for always taking great care of our Taua.

Day 1: Taua’s last day as a 79-year-old!

It started with a morning session of reflexology and messages from tīpuna with Suzanne. Moko #1 Jeremy Campbell and his mother Lorraine Campbell drove up from Ashburton and surprised Taua with lunch at Joe’s Garage, where moko #8 Tia Reriti works. While Lole weeded the gardens, we headed up the pā to Te Urutī urupā to take flowers to Taua Metapere Crofts née Barrett (Aroha’s mother) to commemorate and have whakamoemiti on her 41st anniversary. Moko #2 Kene Campbell surprised Taua by flying in from Pongakawa and cooking a delicious dinner of ribs and potato bake for the whānau.

Day 4: Still a busy lady!

In amongst Taua doing blessings and judging art competitions, we booked a space in her diary to ensure she had a break and enjoyed a yummy lunch with moko #5 Reriti Tau. We made our way to Little High Eatery for passionfruit mojitos, dumplings, siu mai and bao. Later in the evening when Taua thought all the surprises were done for the day after having Japanese bento boxes, moko #9 Manawa Reriti went to the airport and picked up moko #3 Kelly Reriti and great-moko Nikau Reriti Poki, who had arrived from Dunedin!

Day 2: Aroha turns 80 and Devene Tipa turns 70!

Taua woke to an explosion of decorations throughout the whare and presents to open after midnight. (Us moko can work wonders in the whare without being caught while the hearing aid is out!). Sun was up and Taua headed off to the pool in her new togs where her lovely mates and lifeguards all sang her happy birthday and surprised her with a wee birthday muffin. Back at home and with a knock on the door, cousin Te Hau Anglem arrived with a beautiful bouquet of purple and green flowers for the birthday girl from the Anglem whānau!

Another couple of beautiful bouquets of purple and green flowers arrived from Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu and Māori Women’s Development Inc. With time ticking on, we all got dressed up – then there was another knock on the door. Piki Skerrett-White from the awesome TahuFM had arrived to chauffeur Taua on a tour around Christchurch while we all dash off to ready her birthday surprise! Mokori anō ngā mihi kia koutou katoa e TahuFM. Especially to you Blade, for always looking after our Taua over the years.

Day 5: Taua had a wonderful day at Healthy Day at the pā. Thank you to everyone for the cards, gifts and the beautiful green orchids from Waimakariri District Council. In amongst day five, Taua also did a blessing of the Wigram Fire Station where they too sung ‘happy birthday’ to her. Coming home to relax, another surprise arrived; daughter Amiria Reriti and our Taranaki whanaunga April Erueti flew in from Auckland and Whangarei, before son Tim Reriti arrived home after being in Arahura for the Mawhera Inc AGM. For tea, the Campbells put on Taua’s most favourite kai, BOIL UP! Pork bones, pork strips, watercress, rīwai and fried bread topped with Aunty Lole’s Queens Maple Syrup.

Sooooo good!

Day 6: Taua and her whānau (all of her children, mokopuna, great mokopuna, Lorraine and April) made the trip up to Hanmer Springs for a whānau weekend together. First stop was to the pā to see the whānau training for the Tuahiwi Fun Run; next was for an ice cream in Culverden; then finally, spending the day swimming in the pools. The surprises didn’t end there though – Brady, Daniel and Jack Crofts (son and mokopuna of Michael and Joan Crofts) joined in on the Hanmer Springs celebrations too! The ReritiJones whānau put on a delicious kai of roast lamb and scalloped potatoes from Pedro’s House of Lamb (thanks Chelsea Main), with yummy salads made by daughter-in-law Wendy Clayton-Jones, moko #6 Hana Reriti-Jones and moko #8 Tia. Moko #3 Kelly and Nikau organised a Donut Gram as a birthday treat that spelt out ‘RĀ WHĀNAU TAUA’ in purple and green. We also

Taua arrived at her destination, the Christchurch Casino’s Grand Café, to find her siblings, cousins, nieces, nephew, daughter-in-law and moko had all come together to celebrate her 80th – and sister Devene’s 70th – birthdays. The kai was delicious and it was a fun occasion to get all dressed up and spend a loving time together as a whānau. While the whānau spent the rest of the arvo playing at the casino, Taua and I ducked off home to have a good nap. It’s tiring stuff, all of this celebrating! Tea time rocked around for our classic birthday treat, KFC! It was a joyous occasion for us all with our two birthday Taua, watching messages from MP Tutehounuku Korako in Rāpaki, Akarana Āpotoro Takiwā Kereama Pene and Hekeretari o Te Hāhi Rātana Piri Rurawhe and reading the many messages you all left her on Facebook. Moko #1 presented his birthday present to Taua – Super Mario on her new Nintendo, 9

pulled out the August edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka with the portrait of Taua on the cover that Kelly painted.

Thank you, Arielle Monk, for all your help!

The final day of Taua’s birthday week ended with a whānau photo shoot at Hanmer Springs with the wonderful Paul Walmsley who, like moko #1, also has a prosthetic leg. Thank you to everyone for all the roles you played to make Taua’s 80th a fun and surprise filled week. We took great pleasure in treating our Taua/Mum with all her favourite kai, things to do and making funfilled memories with each other.

Happy 80th birthday to Hine Te Ao Kiti

Hareruia Tau

We love you our sister/aunty/taua and hope that you enjoyed your birthday with our whānau. You’re a special woman in our lives and we hope you know how much we treasure having you in our lives. The morning started with a birthday breakfast for Taua Lula at the Waikuku Tau’s whare before a whole whānau dinner at The Plough in Rangiora. Here’s to a wonderful decade ahead of you. Arohanui, Tau whānau.

Mōrehu Day ki Te Ōmeka Takiwā

Nā, Reriti Tau Thank you to all who attended our Mōrehu Day at Tuahiwi Marae. This year marks the 100-year anniversary of when the Wairua Tapu came to Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana on 8 November 1918, proclaiming that he would become Te Māngai, the mouthpiece of God if he completed the challenges set out for him, and passed on the teachings of Ihoa o ngā Mano.

We listened to speakers from Te Haahi Rātana, Anglican, Methodist, Baptist and Evangelical faiths, the Salvation Army, Grace Vineyard, and others. Each faith shared their support of one another. The energy was absolutely mind-blowing – a room full of those wanting to work together to raise faith. In November, a delegation from Tuahiwi Pā will go to Rātana Pā to partake in the festivities of ‘Te Waru’.

We celebrated this event with an inter-faith gathering, sharing stories and honouring each others’ beliefs and ways of worship. The day was full of music from Te Reo o Te Whaea o Te Katoa, hīmene from each faith, and performances from Tuahiwi School followed by a shared kai that everyone had a hand in making.

We’re excited to announce that next year, Tuahiwi Marae will be hosting the National Mōrehu Day on 30 November 2019. We would like to extend an invitation to you all, and to all haahi and whakapono to come and celebrate the first year of the next 100 years of the new prophecy.

Māori Women’s Welfare League – National Conference Nāku iti nei, Reriti Tau

The MWWL National Conference was held in Tairāwhiti, beginning on Tuesday 25 September with a pōhiri for Ngā Pū Kōrero speech competition at Rongopai Marae. It was a long but inspiring day, listening to the world-view of tauira from the ages of nine (meant to be 10) to 18. I had the privilege of being the kaiwhiriwhiri on behalf of Te Waipounamu for a fourth year, and was in awe of the reo and maturity shown by our rangatahi.

Come the Wednesday, we had the official pōhiri to commence our conference also held at Rongopai Marae.

You may have seen on Te Karere and Te Kaea reports of the issues within the League concerning our current president, Prue Kapua, who was standing for a second term. These issues were raised by members of Waiariki, Tāmaki Makaurau and Taitokerau rohe. I’ve brought this kōrero to our iwi magazine because the two news stations featured wāhine from our Ōtautahi Branch who are Ngāi Tūāhuriri/Ngāi Tahu on their show and continued to do so during the week. Many of our staunch Ngāi Tūāhuriri wāhine and Tuahiwi branch members were unable to attend this conference and many of our whanaunga watched these news reports and reached out to us in Gisborne out of concern.

and included our whanaunga from Te Waipounamu in it too. I’d like to reassure you all that not only did we prepare for this conference together as a region at Te Waipounamu College in August to stand strong as a rohe, but that the national council approved the motion for dismissal of members.

I’d like to mihi to our whanaunga, the host rohe of Tairāwhiti who formed a wāhine guard of honour in their bright yellow scarves to manaaki us manuhiri to the conference singing ‘Paikea’ at the top of their voices as we walked through their aisle of sunshine, deflecting the screams and yelling of the opposing party who tried to block the door. I’d also like to mihi to Pīhopa Richard Wallace for keeping our wāhine safe during this event when there were very high emotions and hara in place.

Our Ōtautahi branch put forward a remit urging the national executive to invoke the clause within our constitution, and to dismiss members who brought the League into disrepute by taking the League to the High Court, and costing us $100,000 in court fees instead of following the procedures outlined in our constitution for personal vendettas.

While this was the headlining issue for Māori news that week, the issues we were more concerned with was the mahi our wāhine are involved in and issues occurring in our own communities. They were at the top of our priorities as league members.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this year’s conference and are happy to let you all know that Amiria Reriti was announced as the National Vice President for the second year in a row and that Susan Wallace is the Area Representative for Te Waipounamu rohe.

You would have seen there were protests and demonstrations made by the other party targeting our president, national executive and national council but the news reports also targeted our women of Ōtautahi

Māori Women’s Welfare League – Te Waipounamu Regional Conference

This year the Ōtautahi Branch hosted Te Waipounamu Regional Māori Women’s Welfare League Conference at Te Waipounamu Cultural Centre, formerly known as Te Waipounamu College. The conference began with a pōhiri into Te Whare o Tumuki. The chapel was filled to the brim with wāhine and tāne from across the motu, who all gathered for the purpose of empowering and enhancing the lives of Māori, women and their whānau. Tauira from across Ōtautahi gathered together to welcome our manuhiri into the conference before starting our AGM that evening. Our conference had several stalls, ranging from pounamu, weaving and kombucha to health information. There was even a neat honesty box on site for Manaaki Preserves made by the Aunties of Ōmaka Marae Branch. We relished in League sisterhood, discussing the many remits, issues and mahi that our wāhine have been involved in and preparing ourselves for National Conference in Gisborne.

Ōtautahi was fortunate to place in many of this year’s competitions. Daphne O’Connell from Taumutu won us first place for a 30cm Doll she weaved out of harakeke, first place for a green kete and second place for a coloured kete. Ōtautahi also came third in the kite competition where the rule was that ‘it must fly otherwise it was a wall hanging’.

Unfortunately, our entry for the homemade champagne competition didn’t win us any prizes – closer to fizzy petrol than champagne that was! But congratulations to our sister branch Ōmaka Marae for winning it – Marlborough, no surprises there! We hosted a competition for the observers, where they got to go on a tour around Ōtautahi and visit the art pieces made by Ngāi Tahu artists and take selfies of themselves with the works of art – the tūranga for #1 selfie taker goes to the observer from Ōtākou branch. It was a privilege to have Tuahiwi Branch member and TRoNT CEO Arihia Bennett join us at conference.

We missed having our cousin, aunt, taua, friend and colleague Pani Ruwhiu this year, knowing she would have loved to have been there with us dressing up to the nines for the ‘Hats & Heels’ dinner evening. Know that we appreciate your attendance Arihia and we all miss your mama dearly.

Archdeacon Mere Wallace of Te Aiorangi Branch who gave Taua Aroha Reriti-Crofts and National Vice-President Amiria Reriti readings for them to share with us all.

Many thanks to our whānau who catered the event, travelling all the way from Franz Josef to manaaki our manuhiri from across the motu. It was fantastic watching cousins hanging out together and getting to know each other for the first time, enjoying themselves while serving the community. Young, mature, wāhine, tāne you rock! Thank you also to the ever talented Fayne Robinson for the special pieces of pounamu that the wāhine and ringa manaaki received during the conference, and to Te Pūtahitanga for the pātara wai that many of us took to National Conference too #tiakitaiao.

We were very fortunate to have the company of the League National President Prue Kapua, National Vice President Amiria Reriti and Ikaroa Area Representative Ronda Pahau join us at our conference to update us all on the many hurdles the national executive has faced over the past 11 months. The kōrero shared was not only informative, it inspired us to come together as a region to actively show our tautoko to our president and maintain the mana of our League. Others have branched off from our kaupapa of serving our people to serving themselves and ego – Te Waipounamu wasn’t having a bar of that!

We concluded our hui with whakamoemiti in Te Whare o Tumuki conducted by Pihopa Richard Wallace and

It’s an exciting time for the League, especially within Te Waipounamu. We welcome new members who’d love to be involved in a politically minded, community and people focused organisation and who want to make a difference for the better. Looking forward to next year's Te Waipounamu Regional Conference, Kawatiri 2019.

Tuahiwi taua in the whare!

Te Waipounamu Regional Māori Women’s Welfare League Conference 2018.

Ōnuku Rūnanga Ōnuku Whānau Ora mahika kai programme Ōnuku Runanga is running a Whānau Ora Mahika Kai Programme for our tamariki and rangatahi. The invitation has been extended to Wairewa, Taumutu, Koukourarata and Rāpaki. The first of four hui was held at Ōnuku on 15-16 September, with two more weekends planned before the end of this year.

At the hui, 24 tamariki and their parents learned about mahika kai fishing techniques. This included whitebaiting, net setting, preparation of the fish that was caught, cleaning and fish smoking at the whata.

Restoration of a clinker boat was started, that will be used for floundering. Overall, the weekend was a great success.

Congratulations

The winner of the 2018 Kate Sheppard Memorial Award was our very own Kelly Waiana Tikao (Waitaha, Kāti Māmoe and Kāi Tahu). Kelly is completing a PhD at the University of Canterbury, Health Sciences and the Ngāi Tahu Research Centre. Her topic is Raro Timo Raro Tae – Ngāi Tahu Birthing Traditions.

her research being undertaken in the field of indigenous birthing practices will be very important not only to Aotearoa but overseas as well.”

University of Canterbury visit to Ōnuku Marae

memorable and meaningful in my career and as a teacher I also personally thank Ōnuku Marae and especially Pere Tainui, Ngaio Tuari, Peter Sciascia and Debbie Tikao for giving time so generously to share important knowledge and key insights with a new generation of students.

Kia ora rawa atu.”

Settlement Day at Ōnuku

Over the last three years, Settlement Day has been a chance for many Te Rūnanga staff to step away from their computers, pick up tools and spend a day giving service to the Waitaha Rūnanga. Settlement Day is an opportunity to acknowledge the importance of the settlement and the sacrifice previous generations made to bring Te Kerēme to an end.

On 28 September, 20 staff from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu arrived with smiles and their tools. It was a great day with lots of laughter. The team painted containers, did some gardening and spring-cleaned the kitchen and wharekai.

The Ōnuku executive and whānau would like to thank Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu staff for being so positive while they were doing their mahi – the waiata sung at the poroporoaki was a beautiful way to end the day.

Te Taumutu Rūnanga Kaitiakitanga

We are working with David Murphy from the Whakaora Te Waihora (WTW) project because this is where the Ōrariki restoration efforts and the marae’s Waikekewai restoration efforts meet up. So both this year’s WTW monies and the Taumutu Tuia fund will be used for the restoration of this tributary.

We are continuing the restoration efforts for Waikekewai within Te Pā o Ngāti Moki and are now planning for the second phase. This work is to complement the wider restoration efforts of Te Pā o Ōrariki.

Te Taumutu has engaged a landscape architect to take part in this mahi. This person is whānau and an active member of Te Taumutu Rūnanga (also the author of Te Waikekewai Stream and Rehabilitation Report 2013, which set the scene for restoration works for Waikekewai).

Why Waikekewai? Te Pā o Ngāti Moki and Te Pā o Ōrariki are the spiritual homes of the whānau of Taumutu and where we want to honour the significant Waiwhakaheketūpāpaku contained in the catchment and respect and restore this important mahinga kai habitat. We also need to demonstrate leadership to the rest of the community by looking after home first. After all, it would be hypocritical of us to tell others (e.g. dairy farmers) how to look after their backyard, if we are not doing it ourselves.

This time the small tributary of Waikekewai that runs along the eastern boundary of the marae site will be the focus of our restoration efforts. This tributary is inundated with sediment buildup, so the removal of some plants and trees may need to occur because it appears that they are exacerbating the sediment issue.

Interestingly (and probably just as well), the landowner on the other side of the tributary is Te Taumutu Rūnanga, who purchased the land to receive the discharge from the new wastewater system that is currently being progressed – hence an easement to lay a pipe to reticulate the discharge will need to factored in.

It is also envisaged that some willows and eucalypts will need to be removed because of their ability to uptake water. The latest Environment Canterbury reports show that the water table for Waikekewai is particularly low this year, which also highlights the need for water augmentation to replenish the waters of Waikekewai – another project that Taumutu is currently progressing with their respective councils.

Hauora

• Portfolio outlines for hauora have been completed and are awaiting sign off at the next rūnanga hui.

• Ruahikihikitanga workshops for professional development for kaiako in Taumutu takiwā have been delivered, with two more scheduled before the end of the year.

Nā, Dardanelle Smith-Mclean

The past few months have been busy. I wish to acknowledge Fiona Sloan at the marae who constantly provides the support and manaaki that goes beyond the expectations for manuhiri. There is always such great feedback from those who come to visit. Notable mahi completed in the past couple of months is as follows:

Tamariki Day – September 2018

We had another fantastic Tamariki Day these school Holidays – tamariki had a noho and then participated in an Amazing Race – with the theme of kaitiakitanga!

the support in facilitating the day and to all Taumutu whānau who contributed to the successful event.

Tamariki were given the opportunity to drive around the rohe in electric vehicles, which were kindly supplied by Meridian Energy. Our manuhiri from Meridian Energy were so impressed with the manaaki of our tamariki and enjoyed learning alongside them. We tested water quality at different creeks, learnt about special sites of significance for Ngāi te Ruahikihiki whānau and made a commitment to more sustainable behaviours at home.

We especially want to thank Tui and her team from Meridian who supported the tamariki through the day, and for the kōrero about electric vehicles and why they are an awesome way to be more sustainable!

This was a huge success, with great feedback from all. I would particularly like to acknowledge Fiona Sloan for

Te Rūnanga o Waihao Rūnanga news

Mid-South Canterbury police hui Around 20 Māori Police staff from Canterbury District, South Canterbury Area and North Otago Area attended the first hui of its type in South Canterbury in many years. The hui was organised by Sergeant Dylan Murray and its purpose included an offer for our staff to hui with those who identify as Māori and/or recognise their whakapapa or wish to explore such heritage, tracing whakapapa, marae protocols, strengthening of local iwi relationships and identifying problems and providing solutions for Māori re-offending and victimisation.

But this is only the beginning. The true value will be in the follow-through of what was discussed, and planned for the future. We look forward to hosting the Mid-South Canterbury Police Hui in 2019.

Sergeant Murray acknowledged Waihao Rūnanga for their welcome and hospitality throughout the day. Wendy Heath in particular provided a valuable contribution in terms of the local history and her experience as a police officer in the 1970s and 80s.

New director for Ngāi Tahu Holdings

Rodger Findlay was appointed as a director of Ngāi Tahu Holdings Group on 1 September. He has also been the independent director of Moeraki Limited since 2008 – we wish him well in his new role serving the wider iwi.

Diesel Dick

This fella is the forefather of New Zealand’s largest yellow-eyed penguin (hoiho) colony, found near the lighthouse in the Katiki Reserve.

Years ago, he was found in the port covered in diesel and unable to fend for himself. The late Richard Whitau JP (pictured far right) found him and wrapped him in his cardigan and took him over to Janice at the lighthouse ‘Penguin Hospital’. He recovered well and during his life he had two loyal wives; their mokopuna continue to thrive today in the reserve.

Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki Sirocco at Ōrokonui Ecosanctuary

Feedback from attendees: “It was so awesome to see Sirocco. He was way bigger then I imagined! The kids loved how interactive and spirited he was. Sirocco’s handler was very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about him. It was also amazing the effort the staff went to to kōrero Māori. I’m so glad we went!” - Jaime Tutbury.

On Saturday 22 September, we enjoyed a special time at Orokonui Ecosanctuary visiting Sirocco, the kākāpō ambassador for the Kākāpō Recovery Programme. Thanks to the forward thinking of the Kākāpō Recovery team, and with the support of Orokonui Ecosanctuary, whānau from Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou, the Murihuku Rūnanga and our own Rūnaka members had the opportunity to visit Sirocco at the Ecosanctuary in recognition of the special role Ngāi Tahu has in the kākāpō recovery. It was a memorable evening of whanaukataka, fun and learning about kākāpō as well as experiencing an audience with Sirocco!

“A big thank you to the people who made this this awesome event at Orokonui Ecosanctuary happen. The food was great and so were the stories and talks about the kākāpō species. It was awesome to be able to share in this experience with all generations, especially my cousin Jonathan Hodson’s partner Hannah Hodson and their three tamariki - Sam, Mereana and Liam Hodson, who had travelled from Southland to experience this.

We were able to meet Sirocco himself and discover how precious these encounters are with our endangered native birds.” - Kate Bateman.

Karitāne Māori Tours Waka Blessing

On 17 September we celebrated the blessing and naming of the first official Karitāne Māori Tours waka, a very smart-looking eight-seater double hulled waka called Huriawa. This ceremony was led by Hinerangi FerrallHeath and is another important milestone in getting our new venture up and running. A few days earlier, the two hulls were safely delivered by the whānau courier duo of David and Diana Mules, who brought Hauteruruku back from a winter visit to the Kaipara, along with the new waka hulls made by Moana Nui at Matapōuri, near Whangarei.

Alex Whitaker and Tania Turei, the co-managers of Karitāne Māori Tours, and the company directors, have been working hard to get everything in place for the summer tourism season. We also acknowledge Takiwā Tourism for their support towards the establishment of this new venture.

Me te aroha tino nui rawa – tō tatou tino aroha ki te whānau – loving sympathy to everyone who has lost a loved one recently, including the whānau of Ted Palmer. Members of Ōtākou joined with his wife Barbara and whānau at Caversham for a heart felt celebration of Ted’s life. At Ōtākou whānau gathered together to receive the ashes of Aroha Kellenbach and bury her with her mother, Mori Pickering (née Ellison).

It was the most beautiful day, similar to the day we buried dear Aunty Mori surrounded by birdsong. Aroha’s four children and their whānau travelled with her from Melbourne and were met by extended whānau here at Ōtākou to tautoko the ceremony. Moe mai okioki mai e te whanauka.

Baking for kaumātua

Portobello School had their first Year 7 and 8 bake day at Ōtākou Marae, with kind support from our lovely (but camera shy) kaumātua. Together they made some scrummy treats to share. Once all packed up, the Year 7 and 8 students were accompanied by our friendly community policeman, Aaron Smith, to deliver the food parcels to our local kaumātua. The day was a great success and one we hope Portobello will make a regular event. Well done to the students of Portobello School and principal Mel Jewis.

Otago Polyfest 2018

Otago Polyfest 2018 continued to showcase the region’s most accomplished tamariki and rangatahi performers in kapa haka. Thousands of performers have crossed Polyfest stages over the years and many continue to strengthen their skills nationally and internationally in kapa haka groups, performing arts schools, productions, church choirs and bands. Co-chair Pip Laufiso observed that the rangatahi groups were at the top of their game; expressing their identity with power and mastery. This included He Waka Kōtuia, a combination of Queens and Kings High School students under the tutorship of Komene Cassidy and Paulette Tamati-Elliffe. Fabulous local talent took part on Friday night in Te Moananui a Kiwa Community Concert to celebrate 25 years of the Otago Polyfest. As always it was a great night out for the whole whānau.

Te Kāika scoops Whānau Ora award

Based in Caversham, Te Kāika brings together key wellbeing and health agencies on one site to provide an integrated model of social service support and primary healthcare in a whānau centred way. The services include primary healthcare service (Te Mataora), which provides GP and dental services and clinical and teaching facilities for a variety of University of Otago students. With almost 6000 patients already enrolled and its general practice clinics based on site in Forbury, it is making a huge impact on the community. A planned centre in Brockville will expand their services by the end of the year.

After seven short months in operation, Te Kāika was awarded the Dame Tariana Turia Award for contribution to Whānau Ora and whānau-centred practice at the Toitū Hauora Leadership Summit in Dunedin last month.

Te Kāika is a partnership between Ōtākou Rūnanga, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Arai Te Uru Whare Hauora, and the University of Otago and is one of the foundation entities invested in by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu, Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency for the South Island.

Te Pūtahitanga pouārahi/chief executive Helen Leahy presented the award, describing it as a ground-breaking project of transformation that they were “immensely proud to support”. Te Kāika Directors Matapura Ellison, Shelley Kapua and foundation member and Director Donna Matahaere-Atariki were humbled and thrilled to accept the award on behalf of Te Kāika.

From the office

On 17 September, we welcomed our new kaitoko, Amie Curtis to the office team. Amie’s first day was a taste of what’s to come – after morning tea it was straight down to Tamatea to welcome on the National Māori Achievements Collaborative wānanga followed by laying out 100 mattresses and linen while manuhiri were off on their hīkoi. Day two included the ringing of the bell to welcome the first breeding toroa back from their two year hīkoi.

The end of her first week saw Amie attending her first colleagues networking function with dinner and a most awesome performance by the Māori Side Steps. She also met with the Portobello School Principal and some of our rakatahi, and visited the Otago Papatipu Rūnaka to broaden her connections and set some groundwork to get stuck into her mahi properly. Great to have you on board Amie!

I am originally from Invercargill but have been living in Dunedin most of my life. My husband Matthew and I have two beautiful children, Joshua, who is 13 and at Intermediate, and Amelia, who is five and just started school. I am grateful to have the opportunity to gain knowledge that I can pass on to them and learn alongside them in this beautiful place that is Ōtākou.

My name is Amie Curtis and I am the new Kaitoko Mātauranga at Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou. I am extremely excited about my new role and honoured to be a part of the educational success of Ngāi Tahu whānau.

I graduated from the University of Otago in 2012 and for the past five years I have been teaching in Early Childhood Education. My previous mahi was as the assistant head teacher at Te Pārekereke o te Kī, Dunedin’s first bi-lingual early childhood centre at the Otago University Childcare Assn. In this role I worked with a team of amazing teachers who taught from the heart and are strong advocates for our tamariki. I am passionate about the education of our tamariki and whānau and making sure that their educational pathways are meaningful, strong, supported and successful.

Dunedin Chinese Lan Yuan 10 year anniversary A pōwhiri was held at Ōtākou on Saturday, 15 September to welcome a delegation from Yu Yuan/garden in Shanghai along with representatives of the Dunedin Chinese community and the Dunedin Chinese Garden, Lan Yuan. The Shanghai delegation was led by the deputy director of Yu Yuan and Wang Zhijian, the Chinese consul-general who were in Dunedin for the Dunedin Chinese Garden’s 10th birthday.

Our tamariki performed waiata during the hākari, while manuhiri and mana whenua relaxed over the bounty of Tangaroa in Hākuiao. During the poroporoaki a final exchange of gifts were given to each party before the delegation left for their flight.

Māori achievement – collaborative wānanga

Ōtākou hosted around 100 school principals attending the Māori Achievement Collaborative Wānanga. Edward Ellison joined the manuhiri on their hīkoi around the city to visit sites of significance regarding the history of the Taranaki prisoners and projects they were put to labour on around Dunedin city.

New police staff for the Otago Coast force

They were told that they will see our people at their worst and most vulnerable.

Ōtākou were honoured to welcome new police staff to the Otago Coastal area of Southern District Police.

Fifteen new staff were welcomed by pōwhiri, a mixture of new Police Officers and staff transferred to the area.

They were asked not to judge them based on that and to look deeper into the reasons that they may have found themselves there. The new staff were very well supported by the commanding officers who spoke of the importance of our relationship as treaty partners. The rōpū then enjoyed a lovely lunch and an hour or two of relaxation, listening to the Police waiata group while enjoying each other’s company within the gully of Ōtākou.

Whānau from Ōtākou offered their tautoko with a brief history of the whare tūpuna given and a message to understand their roles of influence in terms of the directed pathway those that come to their attention will ultimately end up on.

Paikea the police dog

How could we forget to mention the awesome visitor we had early September? Our new favourite police dog, Paikea! The office received a call to ask whether it would be appropriate to bring Paikea out for a photo shoot – how could we refuse with a name like Paikea! It was a rewarding couple of hours helping behind the scenes with this supermodel. Just two years old, Paikea did very well to pretend he was interested in the camera - it was all in the skills of Constable Regan Mauheni (and Michelle Taiaroa McDonald holding his toy above the cameraman’s head).We are delighted to share recent news that Paikea was selected for the Police Dog Calendar.

Official opening of the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital

*this figure is misleadingly low - 88 individual animals were either dead on arrival (not much to be done there) or needed to be humanely euthanised on arrival due to severity of injuries; so our success rate with treating animals is much higher! However, these are still included in our stats as admissions. **2017/18 numbers for Te Waipounamu (source: DOC and YEP Trust) ***2017/18 numbers for Whenua Hou (source: DOC and YEP Trust) ****please note NO population studies of hoiho on Rakiura have been done since 2001 (Mossaro and Blair) so any population data is extremely outdated and cannot be relied upon.

On Friday 28 September Hoani Langsbury opened the ceremony to officially launch the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital followed by his daughter Sarah Langsbury singing a waiata. Paul and Natalie Karaitiana also attended with Dr Terry Broad and his young son. The Dunedin Wildlife Hospital opened its doors in January 2018. The hospital is an independent organisation with its own board on which Ngāi Tahu has a position. Terry was nominated by Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki and Ōtākou Rūnanga as the Ngāi Tahu trustee on the board.

The Wildlife Hospital is located at the Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin. The polytechnic is its principal partner.

Since it started all targets have well and truly been exceeded with 305 animals across 36 species being admitted from all over Te Waipounamu. Of these about 53%* have been successfully treated and released back into the environment. There have been many notable stories, but just as an example, 76 hoiho have been admitted of which 66 (87%) have been successfully released back into the wild. Te Waipounamu holds around 250 breeding pairs**, and 14 pairs on Whenua Hou*** off Rakiura****. Assuming that without the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital, many of the patients would have either been put down or not survived the trip to Massey, the hospital has made a significant contribution to the Aotearoa population. There are also about 1000 pairs on the Auckland and Campbell Islands, but these are genetically distinct to the Aotearoa population.

Te Rūnanga o Hokonui Kia ora koutou whānau, It has been another busy month here at Hokonui and everyone is under the pump. It’s great to see so many people coming to the rūnanga, getting involved, finding out what’s happening or calling in for a cuppa.

Ngā Hiku o Te Reo activity book

A huge shout out and thank you to the team at Tahu FM for creating such an awesome book and letting us have a bunch to share. In the mātauranga space we really love quality resources around te reo and the Ngā Hiku o Te Reo activity book is fantastic. The tamariki love the characters and the vibrancy of the activities. We were very fortunate to be able to hand these out during our community promotion of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.

We were invited to Mataura to attend a Positive Start meeting which is about supporting tamariki to transition from early learning to school. The kōhanga hosted the other preschool in the area and the bilingual unit from Mataura School and we got to join in with waiata and sharing what they had been learning. We gave them all the Ngā Hiku o Te Reo activity books and tamariki were totally thrilled. We also distributed the books to our homework hubs to support the literacy of those tamariki.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

This year we teamed up with Hokonui Radio to promote te reo Māori, showcase some of the awesome mahi happening locally, and celebrate our community. Special thanks to Gore District Council and Blue Light Police Gore for their sponsorship of the week, and Gore and Clutha Women’s Refuge for providing the beautiful prizes for our primary school colouring competition. We are fortunate to have amazing community relationships not only with those mentioned but across the rohe.

We foster these to ensure whānau have access to opportunities and conversations, and to support organisations to be culturally responsive.

Luke Howden, local celebrity and radio personality really demonstrated how much someone can learn with a bit of encouragement and enthusiasm. He challenged himself daily and delivered some great kōrero which you can check out on the Hokonui Southland Facebook page.

You will also find excellent coverage there of what some of us got up to during Māori Language Week.

We attended an education hui in Moeraki to learn about the latest innovations happening within the Ngāi Tahu Mātauranga space, and to have the opportunity to kōrero with Ministry of Education staff. The next hui is planned for Hokonui – watch out for confirmation if you would like to come along and share your whānau thoughts of the education space.

St Mary's School Kāhu Kura Celebrations

The students and staff at St Mary's have embraced Kāhu Kura learning and local knowledge and have been implementing it throughout the year.

Their principal Annie Nelson and her team have developed strong relationships with the rūnanga and we were more than happy to go along and help them celebrate and share their journey.

Waihōpai Rūnaka Rūnaka and marae hui

Nā, Squirrel on the Hill and sidekick Ruru Iti, mā te wā.

We have been busy enough here at the marae with a few whānau and private hui as well as a noho stay. We have hosted the Te Pūtahitanga review panel, a 70th Birthday, Central Baptist Church, Police Advisory group, Tisbury School Disco, play pods, noho stay with a Te Reo Class from SIT and a fantastic whānau hui with Te Kōhaka o Murihiku.

Tisbury School have been holding events here at the marae for a couple of years. We have been told that this space is valuable to the small local community as they do not have any suitable facilities on the school site. It is wonderful that we can cater to these events and look forward to sharing your end-of-year prize giving.

The Pouaka tākaro or play pods have had their inaugural usage, with Te Kōhanga o Murihiku. It was wonderful to see such happy little ones use the marae in such a colourful and cheerful way. Currently these are designed for groups and whānau with under-fives.

A small space is set aside for their use and this is able to be hired for an hour. We will be looking at creating an over-five version in the near future. Thank you once again to Sports Southland, Invercargill Licencing Trust and Let’s Play Southland for your support in creating these. Contact the office for further information on how to book the play pods.

Congratulations to carver Steve Solomon for his Toi Māori Residency. The residency resulted from discussions with the museum staff and the Iwi Liaison Komiti, comprising representation from Ōraka Aparima, Hokonui, Awarua and Waihōpai along with Steve.

Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka Tēnā tātou whānau mā, With Daylight Saving now upon us we can look forward to lighter nights and hopefully some respite from the cold wintry weather we are experiencing at present. The fluctuations in the weather has meant that those using our whitebait stand have had mixed results.

This month we also welcomed a group of rangitahi from Te Ara Whakatipu to Te Kōawa Tūroa O Takitimu. They were an awesome group of people who enjoyed the venue and were excited to be starting on this journey. A big thank you to those volunteers who helped prepare kai and made this visit possible.

Over the past month we have been collating and preparing the annual report and have had the auditors in the office. We have also hosted a few groups out at Takutai o Te Tītī Marae. If you have a few hours to spare don’t forget our weekly working bees at the marae and Tīmata on Thursdays. Please contact us here at the office for more details.

We are currently undertaking the internal refurbishment of the Waka Landing in Leader Street. This building is on a significant site and when finished will provide us with a comfortable workspace that can be used for a number of purposes.

Membership

Whitebait stand

As some of you are aware we own a whitebait stand on the Aparima River. This stand is available for whānau to use throughout the season. To be fair to everybody, bookings can only be made two weeks in advance. We also ballot out the prime tides as we receive multiple requests for those periods. If you make a booking and are unable to go, we ask that you inform the office so the stand can be used by somebody else.

You are probably reading this pānui because you or a whānau member are registered with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Did you know that many Papatipu Rūnanga run their membership lists in different ways? Some automatically add you to their list as soon as you register with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu while others like ourselves run separate lists. Please note that in all cases it will be necessary to authenticate your whakapapa details.

Contact us on 03 234 8192 or office@orakaaparima.org.nz if you would like to register, or have any questions at all about our membership process.

If you wish to use the stand you will need to fill out a booking form. You will also be required to read and acknowledge our whitebaiting health and safety documentation and have an induction. These forms sum up our expectations and your responsibilities as a user.

This paperwork only has to be done once during the season.

Volunteers

Those whānau who used the stand last season found the people from the surrounding stands to be really supportive and helpful. So come on whānau, what could be better than a few hours on the awa catching a feed of whitebait?

We are always looking for volunteers to help out with the various projects and commitments we have. There are many diverse roles that we need help with, including: representation on boards or appointment panels, help with bird transfers, working at the marae and in the nursery, or the wetlands and many more. If you are keen to play a more active role within the rūnaka please contact us here at the office to discuss the options.

Holiday Home in Te Anau

Communication with whānau

We are looking at ways to improve our communication with whānau and as such exploring different mediums to get the word out there about what is going on. Generally we are seeking to limit the volume of email traffic we generate!

Did you know that we have a comfortable house for whānau to rent in Te Anau? This property sleeps eight and is situated in the heart of the town. It is within walking distance of all amenities and only a short distance from many of the tourist opportunities the region has to offer. Please contact the office for further details or to make a booking. Please note that this property is used by whānau and as such should not be treated like a motel. You are required to leave the place clean and tidy for the next person.

If you are interested in keeping in the loop, check out our Opportunities page on Facebook. This page will carry details of any opportunities for our members such as details of scholarships, bird transfers and vacancies for representatives on various boards: www.facebook.com/OrakaAparimaRunakaPanui

Contact details

We are progressively updating our membership database to improve the quality of our information. If you or your whānau have moved house or changed your contact details, please let us know as soon as possible.

Taurahere Groups Ngāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana

Talk Tauranga: what’s up in the sunny bay?

Aronui wharenui at Tauranga Boys’ College Aronui is where we have held our bimonthly hui since 2003 and we have a long association with the wharenui.

We have been offered the pou tāhū and adjoining wall panels of the wharenui for decorating with artworks.

This project is of cultural significance because it brings our establishment here in Tauranga Moana and our ongoing relationship with the college and local iwi to a culminating shared vision.

The imagery created will take its references from our joint Ngāi Tahu and local heritage and history.

There will be many mahi toi and whanaungatanga opportunities for tamariki, rangatahi, pōua and taua to share time and work together. This mahi toi project is an expression of the significance of our past, and aspirations for the future.

Because this project is fundamentally based within a community context it spreads across several cultural platforms. It brings together our Ngāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana rōpū with the local iwi Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Pūkenga, and Tauranga Boys’ College.

Ross Hemera, respected Ngāi Tahu artist, has created an artistic concept and will oversee the project which has received strong support and full agreement from the Aronui whānau.

It will provide a touchstone for many years to come and for later generations.

You can check our Facebook page to be kept updated about the project. We will be holding a wānanga in November and you will have a chance to learn more about our traditional stories and have an opportunity to work, under guidance, on the artworks. More details will be provided at our October hui.

As a mahi toi project it covers both traditional and contemporary approaches. While the central concepts are based on customary whakairo and tukutuku āhua, the interpretation and application will utilise modern materials, methods and techniques.

Calling the next generation of kaitiaki No work day is ever the same for Laura Bruce.

For the last eight years, the Canterbury woman has been investigating public health concerns and providing advice and information to community leaders and the public in her role as a Health Protection Officer.

“My favourite part of the job is getting out of the office and into field work, which might be exotic mosquito monitoring, ship inspections or visiting water treatment plants,” Laura says.

Laura is eager to see more young Health Protection Officer Laura Bruce people enter the profession and take advantage of a Community & Public Soon after, Laura is off to inspect an incoming Health scholarship, which supports Ngāi Tahu ship that has arrived in Lyttelton Port from undergraduate students at the University of Singapore. Laura is tasked with ensuring the ship Canterbury towards a career in Health Protection. poses no bio-security or communicable disease threats to New Zealand.

“There is lots of variety in the role,” Laura says.

A crew member leads Laura round the ship where she looks to identify any possible hazards.

“As a trainee Health Protection Officer you could be involved with ship sanitation inspections, disease outbreak investigations, responding to chemical spills or advocating for policies which create environments that promote population health.”

Laura was part way through studying a BSc in Biology at the University of Canterbury, when Health Protection work “jumped out” at her. She then went on to complete a Graduate Diploma in Environmental Health.

It’s a Friday afternoon when Laura visits Rāpaki Marae. She is meeting with Rāpaki hapū member Christina Henderson to discuss what they are doing to make their waterways safe and healthy now and in the future.

Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Ramon Pink says the scholarship has been established to increase the number of Health Protection Officers of Ngāi Tahu descent.

“Community and Public Health and Papatipu Rūnaka play an important part in protecting and supporting our cultural values around our waterways where our mahinga kai are concerned. This understanding of cultural values around our food gathering process ensures our kids will not have to worry about where they swim or gather kai,” says Christina.

“As tangata whenua, the land is integral to who we are. The health of the land and waterways have a significant impact on wellbeing. We need more of our people in positions that can influence the health of our environment.”

We had a great time catching up with whānau and welcoming new whānau to our wonderful iwi.

Arapata and I enjoyed the banter and laughter from all whānau on the day. We would like to thank our Perth whānau for an engaging weekend and the kōrero that flowed from the History of the Blue Book presentation.

Ngāi Tahu Tourism employment information evenings

E papaki kau atu ana ngā tai o mihi ki a koutou i tae atu ai ki ngā hui whānau tāpoi. Ngāi Tahu Tourism would like to thank all whānau who turned up to the information evenings.

We also wanted to let whānau know about Earth & Sky, our stargazing business in Takapō, where the company is currently building a state-of-the-art international astronomy centre.

So far the team have held hui in Christchurch, Ōamaru, Timaru, Dunedin and Queenstown. There is one more hui to be held in Hokitika on Thursday 8 November.

The centre is due to open in March 2019 and, as well as being a base for the existing stargazing tours, it will also be home to a new daytime astronomy experience and a fully serviced cafe and bar. This means Ngāi Tahu Tourism will need up to 30 new people to join the existing team as guides, chefs, kitchen hands, front of house staff and customer service representatives.

Ngāi Tahu Tourism is on a mission to get more Ngāi Tahu whānau working in tourism and becoming leaders.

The information hui have been set up to let whānau know about Ngāi Tahu Tourism cadetships, scholarships, and job opportunities.

If you’re interested and want to know more, go to: www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/ntt or call 0800 524 8248.

During the busy summer season, Ngāi Tahu Tourism employs over 500 people across its 13 tourism businesses around Aotearoa.

Pānui to Owners in Māori freehold land block Matapopore WAIKOUAITI BLOCK XII SECTION 60C (“the Land”) A meeting will be held for the owners of the Land as beneficiaries of the Waikouaiti Block XII Section 60C Ahu Whenua Trust managing the Land.

Te Omeka (Justice and Emergency Precinct) has won the Gold Award for the Ngā Aho category of the Best Awards 2018. This is a huge achievement and an example of a successful collaborative process between the client, The Ministry of Justice, architects Warren and Mahoney, Opus and ourselves on behalf of Ngāi Tūāhuriri.

The details of the meeting are: VENUE: Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre Boardroom,

Level 1, 258 Stuart Street, Dunedin

(Corner of Upper Stuart Street & Smith Street) DATE: Saturday, 17 November 2018 TIME: 1.30pm

The Matapopore team consisted of artists Hori Mataki, Morgan Mathews-Hale, Lonnie Hutchinson and Fayne Robinson, with cultural arts advice provided by Tui Falwasser, project management by Jo Petrie and input (narrative writing, naming, design advice, project by Dr Te Maire Tau, Lynne Te Aika, Joseph Hullen, Sacha McMeeking, Hori Mataki, Morgan Mathews-Hale, Aroha Reriti-Crofts, and the Ngāi Tahu Research Centre). A massive thank you goes out to the whole team.

The agenda for the meeting is as follows: 1. Report to owners 2. Seeking nominations for responsible trustee/s to replace Maureen Wylie who wishes to step down.

Current trustees are: a. William (Bill) Henry Ross (to remain) b. Maureen Ruth Wylie (to step down) 3. Consider adopting an updated Ahu Whenua Trust order (as per the current Māori Land Court templates).

Judge’s comments: Kia atawhai ki te iwi, to Care for the people (Pita Te Hori).

Te Omeka truly embodies the words of Ngāi Tūāhuriri past Upoko Pita Te Hori which have been and continue to be at the heart of the Christchurch rebuild.

As the first government building completed in Christchurch since 2011’s earthquakes, this landmark project brings to life the previously and largely invisible cultural landscape of Ngāi Tūāhuriri. It does so in a mature way through well considered integration of cultural narratives and aesthetic into the physical structure and fabric of the building, reflected in everything from cladding to door handles. The four years of collaboration between architects, designers, artists and mana whenua, shows.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the above, or are interested in nominating yourself or another person as a responsible trustee, please contact Brylee Sawyer at the Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre before Friday, 9 November. We will send a copy of the proposed new trust deed to owners at their request.

Proxy votes will be accepted.

If you are unable to attend the meeting and would like: • Further information and updates on the block; and/ or • a proxy form to allow another owner to vote as your proxy; and/or • minutes from the 17 November 2018 meeting sent to you after the fact, please contact Brylee Sawyer at the Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre as follows: email: brylee@ngaitahulaw.org.nz phone: 0800 626 745 or by post: PO Box 633, Dunedin 9054.

in New Zealand, and that’s eight men every day – 3000 every year.

“Six hundred men will die annually from prostate cancer.

What we’re saying to whānau is that it could be your pāpā, matua, brother, a friend, so we all need to do something about it collectively,” campaign sponsor Vania Pirini says.

Wero Your Tero

The ‘Wero your Tero’ campaign came out of the passion of a group of fired up tāne in Ōtautahi, who wanted to create awareness among whānau of the risks and symptoms of prostate cancer and to encourage regular check-ups.

“Some of our tāne in the Ōtautahi Māori community got together and have come up with the ‘Wero your Tero’ campaign to draw attention to the issue in the hope more of our tāne become aware of the risks and get checked regularly. We have developed a ‘Wero your Tero’ Facebook page and video and will be holding wānanga to create more platforms for discussion and ways we can encourage tāne to make their health a priority.”

‘Wero your Tero’ has been funded by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu in response to the fact that Māori men are twice as likely to be diagnosed with the metastatic disease than non-Māori. Research shows that one man every three hours will be diagnosed with prostate cancer

Suffrage Day on 19 September was an opportunity to acknowledge the strength, the resilience, the talents and the entrepreneurial magic of the wāhine of Whānau Ora at a special event.

West Coast Guided Walks was launched at the event, a venture that has evolved from a whānau initiative developed to connect whānau to the whenua and traditional pathways of Ngāti Waewae. The new tourism business will provide a unique cultural experience, the first of its kind on the West Coast, with activities focused on elements of te ao Māori that hold historical significance for He Tangata o Ngāti Waewae.

Growing the next generation of change agents

The Ngāi Tahu whakapapa (genealogy) binds us to the mountains, land, forests, and waters. Underpinning this unique relationship is the belief that the natural environment sustains us, and in turn, we have a responsibility to nurture the environment through the generations.

The Ngāi Tahu Farming Scholarship Program

This belief is brought to life by the Ngāi Tahu Farming whakatauki (proverb), ‘ Toitū te marae o Tāne, toitū te marae o Tangaroa, toitū te iwi’, (when land and water are sustained the people will prosper). This belief is also reflected in our Scholarship Program which looks to nurture the next generation of change agents that will advance this unique relationship.

To do this, we aim to provide a range of scholarships to foster and nurture rangatahi (youth) who are grounded in their Ngāi Tahutanga and dedicated to excellence in their chosen field. Our scholarships are commercially driven and designed to support Ngāi Tahu tauira (students) into their first graduate roles.

Second, we seek rangatahi who are determined to increase their work readiness through placement opportunities. Finally, we seek rangatahi who demonstrate leadership capacity and participation within the industry.

In 2018 we welcomed five new recipients to Ngāi Tahu Farming; each with a desire to grow and effect positive change within Aotearoa and within farming practices globally.

We achieve this by providing these rangatahi hands on experience and guidance within a commercial business informed by Ngāi Tahutanga. We ensure they are professionally skilled and culturally confident by actively building their engagement with their iwi, hapū and whānau.

Sarah Gordon (Ngāi Tahu, Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke (Rāpaki)) was born and raised in Christchurch near her marae in Rāpaki. Sarah is in her third year of study at the University of Canterbury working towards a double degree in a Bachelor of Commerce and Arts, majoring in Human Resource Management and Sociology with a focus on environmental sustainability.

Through the Summer Internship Program with the People and Development team, Sarah will gain an insight into Human Resource practices within a farming context.

We recognize three critical success attributes when selecting our scholarship recipients. First, we seek rangatahi who understand the importance of cultural confidence and a connection to their whakapapa (genealogy) to their professional development.

Casey Ashton (Ngāi Tahu, Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou, Awarua, Waihopai, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, Moriori) was born in Taranaki and raised in Waitaha. Casey is in her second year at Lincoln University studying towards a Bachelor of Agribusiness 50

and Food Marketing. She is the current Tumuaki of Te Awhioraki, Lincoln University’s Māori Students Association. Through the Summer Internship Program Casey will work with both the Dairy division and the Commercial and Market Development team giving her an insight in both her chosen fields of study.

Bridget Hogan (Ngāi Tahu, Te Rūnanga o Moeraki, Ngā Puhi) was born and raised in Feilding on a beef and sheep farm and is in her first year of study at Massey University in Palmerston North completing a Bachelor of Agriscience, majoring in Agriculture. Bridget is passionate about sustainable agriculture and through the Summer Internship Program with the Dairy division she hopes to gain insights which will inform her position on sustainability.

From left to right: Bridget Hogan, Catherine Parata, Lauren Connolly, Sarah Gordon and Casey Ashton.

Catherine Parata (Ngāi Tahu, Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki) was brought up on a small sheep and beef farm in Karitāne, East Otago. Currently in her third year of a Bachelor of Agriculture at Lincoln University, Catherine is also the first recipient of the 2018 Ngāi Tahu Farming and Ravensdown Scholarship. During her time with Ngāi Tahu Farming, Catherine hopes to develop her skills, relationships and insights which will enable her to contribute to the sustainability of New Zealand agriculture in the future.

At Ngāi Tahu Farming, we embrace the hardworking, innovative, and pioneering spirit of our Ngāi Tahu tīpuna (ancestors). Equally, we encourage these future leaders to push their boundaries, to develop new technologies and mindsets to ensure the sustainability of our land and water resources. The change they effect is our primary measure of success for these rangatahi, be it within Aotearoa or where ever their careers may take them internationally.

Lauren Connolly (Ngāi Tahu, Te Rūnanga o Arowhenua) was born in Timaru and has spent most of her life in Christchurch.

Lauren has recently completed her Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Human Resource Management and Marketing at the University of Canterbury. She has been interning with the People and Development team since the end of last year focusing on the development and implementation of Human Resource initiatives across all divisions.

Ngāi Tahu Nohoanga Connect with the lands of your tīpuna

Nohoanga sites give all Ngāi Tahu whānui the opportunity to experience the whenua as our tīpuna did - to rekindle the traditional practices of gathering food, other natural resources and be close to the land.

What is a Nohoanga site?

Under the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, Nohoanga sites are specific areas of Crown-owned land next to lakeshores or riverbanks, which can be used for gathering food and other natural resources or camping by Ngāi Tahu whānui.

Newly available site - Tuckers Beach, Queenstown Location

Tuckers Beach Reserve, Shotover River, Queenstown

Physical description

Large, flat and open grassed space, plenty of shelter Under the Act, we have temporary, but exclusive, rights to occupy these sites between the middle of August and the end of April each year. There are 72 allocated nohoanga sites within Te Waipounamu, but not all of these sites are available for use.

Using Nohoanga

For fairness and environmental reasons, the use of nohoanga sites are permitted by the office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

Bookings can be made by contacting Sophie McGregor via the contact details at the bottom of the page - at least TEN working days before you wish to use a nohoanga site. We are currently building an online booking system.

Available for use from Mid-August 2018

These sites are not established camping sites – access and facilities vary, with many requiring that you bring your own toilet and shower facilities and drinking water. Cell coverage is also mostly limited – but it is free and it is exclusively for use of Ngāi Tahu. Some sites also allow hunting or dogs to accompany you and your family.

Vehicle access

All vehicle access to the site.

Facilities and services

There are no facilities or access to water on site.

Site restrictions

The entitlement runs from September through to 16 May.

New site boundaries - Lake Pūkaki

The Lake Pūkaki nohoanga site has recently had a boundary change. The site now has some additional lake front areas and is fenced off from public vehicle access. Nohoanga users can access the site with their vehicles through a padlocked gate. The code is given out with authorisations.

New public toilets have also been installed a short walk from the nohoanga site.

*There are many other Nohoanga sites also available for use over the coming months. Please inquire for more details or a list of available sites.

For more info about available sites, please visit our web page: www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/environment/nohoanga/ or get in touch 53 with us on 0800 NOHOANGA (0800 664-62642) or nohoanga@ngaitahu.iwi.nz
