Will the Anamata panorama still allure the birds in 2027?

“So let’s say it’s 2027. The Tūhoe register continues to be a key connector of Tūhoe whānau and Marae-Hapū. IT communications will be available throughout the rohe. Te Wharepuri and technology is a primary resource for Tūhoe Schools. Tūhoe have annual celebrations throughout the rohe, and in urban areas. Whānau and Marae-Hapū utilise Te Wharepuri as overflow storage for their taona, and use the preservation services to keep taona safely stored in homes and marae.” (Anamata, 2017).

ASHER NEWBERY Nāti Manunui TE WHAREPURI MANAGER

I’d be a Kōwhai tree cause it attracts all the birds - but probably a stinging nettle.

HERA MITCHELL Te Urewera, Nāti Tāwhaki PROJECT ANALYST - TE WHAREPURI

A Kahikatea because they’re tall like me. There’s lots of advantages to being tall, you can see everything.

TYLEE HUDSON Hāmua WRITER

I named my daughter Kōwhai. So I would be a Kōwhai tree so I can be close to her.

BLUEPRINT PURPOSE Tūhoe leadership must be centred in their actions, have global awareness in their deliberations, ideas focused on growing Tūhoe self-reliance; autonomy will assure that continuity of Tūhoe culture, language and identity – our greatest assets and sources of our worth, honour and prosperity. (The Blueprint, pg 18).

Our tikana of rights and obligations, our need to use our natural resources, our responsibility to bring employment, wealth opportunities and desirable lifestyle.

(The Blueprint, pg 18).

Will Ōnukurani bring renewal?

“By 2027, Tribal-led functions have improved our lifestyle interactions with Te Urewera, alleviating pressure on her living system. All functions other than core support roles are delivered by Tribals. A range of recognised Te Urewera management options are instinctive and Te Kawa o Te Urewera is a living document. Friendship agreements are mature and proactive. There is sustained evidence of a balanced and harmonious relationship between Te Urewera needs and Tūhoe prosperity. (Ōnukurani, 2017).

I would like to be an Ake Ake tree. Because literally, it means forever and ever.

TE KAHU APIATA Hāmua, Nāti Rono TRIBAL BIODIVERSITY MANAGER, RŪĀTOKI

If I was a tree I would be a Eucalyptus tree because it can withstand extreme heat, drought and fire rises out of the ashes just like the Phoenix bird/Kaahu (bird that’s me) has a great aroma, many healing properties and makes good firewood.

MOANA ANDREW Te Māhurehure PROJECT ANALYST - ŌNUKURANI

I would be an Oak tree, cause it’s strong and reliable.

TŪHOE PEOPLE Education Identify challenges, help determine solutions and develop Tūhoe educational achievement goals. Begin to create a work plan with members of Tūhoe Community of Learning (CoL).

BLUEPRINT PURPOSE Whānau, hapū, Iwi are the institutions of Tūhoe, the way Tūhoetana is practised, celebrated, transmitted, shared and evolved. Whānau is the nation builder, the origin of Tūhoe identity. The vibrancy and potency of Tūhoe is dependent on the vibrancy and potency of Tūhoe institutions. (The Blueprint, pg 13).

How will the Iwi flourish?

“In 10 years time, whānau have access to a range of autonomous Tribal run, co-invested services. Tamariki, ranatahi and pakeke have in place a triballylead, inspired and purposeful education system. All Tūhoe have access to a high quality, and holistic-focused Tūhoe Health service. Whānau and Marae-Hapū deliver responsibility for housing among their members. Kāina Tahi options for Tūhoe wanting to end dependency are available through Tribals, and Tūhoe-driven intervention, diversion and rehabilitation services are in place to reduce local crime rates. Services operate in towns that are accessible to Tūhoe whānau living away from the rohe.” (Iwi, 2017).

How will the fragrant fronds of Whairawa unfurl in 2027?

“Sustainable commercial industries are well established and contribute to the wealth and health of whānau, hapū and Iwi. Education and training directed towards sustainable environments are established. Infrastructure is in place to support whānua and Marae-Hapū driven tourism ventures.

Tūhoe marae operate sustainably and within their means. Iwi financial literacy is an everyday language within the Iwi.” (Whairawa, 2017).

BLUEPRINT PURPOSE A commendable Blueprint is not in itself a measure of success. Strategy is not sustainable alone but must be accompanied by a crafted implementation plan. Our success in this endeavour is to be measured by the degree of applying Tūhoe values and priorities into the day to day operations of the new Tribal Authority. (The Blueprint, pg 18).
