Over the past few years the Ahuwhenua Trophy Competition film crew has been capturing the stories of past winners, which provides a valuable insight into Māori farmers and their families who worked their hearts out to clear the land and establish their farms in what can be described as challenging conditions.

The film team was fortunate to catch up earlier this year with Te Ruinga Haeata, Tom’s widow who was visiting from Australia, and his two daughters Jhetdyour Haeata and Ariana Rika who took us on an emotional journey of their days as the settler farming whānau on Farm 11, corner of Scott and Mitchell Roads in Mangakino.

At that time the farm was part of the Pouākani Trust farms, which is now Wairarapa Moana Incorporation.

Judge Allo an assistant field inspector from Whangarei who inspected the farms noted these comments of Tom Haeata as the winner.

“His farm comprised 122 acres of good grass divided into seventeen paddocks. Pasture grasses were healthy; excellent shelter belts were in evidence and described the buildings as a credit to any farm. Mr Haeata was managing a first-class Jersey herd, and had really good supplies of supplementary feed. 1365 bales of hay had been cut and a further 430 obtained as payment for contract work performed during the previous year.

Pigs were being well wintered.”

At the end of filming on the farm we visited the urupa where Tom is buried overlooking Lake Maraetai. As we reminisced Te Ruinga said “Tom loved this place”.

WAI 85 Update At the end of last year we let shareholders know that our hearing with the Waitangi Tribunal had been deferred until 2019.

Honours Awarded To Kim Workman

The Waitangi Tribunal deferred the Wai 85 remedies hearing because it was waiting on a decision from the High Court on a judicial review lodged by the Raukawa Settlement Trust in relation to their participation in the Wai 85 remedies hearing. The High Court delivered its decision on this matter in February. The High Court has sent the matter back to the Waitangi Tribunal to reconsider who should be able to participate in this remedies hearing.

We are expecting our Wai 85 remedies hearing to commence in May 2019, at the Waitangi Tribunal offices, Wellington. We are awaiting final confirmation from the Tribunal of dates. For up to date information, follow us on the Wairarapa Moana Facebook page.

It is important that Wairarapa Moana Incorporation and our shareholders get to be heard by the Waitangi Tribunal on this kaupapa. These are important decisions, so it is critical that everyone involved allows this process to run its entire course.

If our application is successful, then either we reach a settlement with the Crown, or the Crown is required to implement the Waitangi Tribunal recommendation.

Sir Robert Kinsela (Kim) Workman

Wairarapa Moana shareholder Robert Kinsela (Kim) Workman was appointed as a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the New Years Honours List, in recognition of services to prisoner welfare and the justice sector.

He is believed to be the first Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa person to be knighted.

Between 1986 and 1989, Sir Kim was the Director of the Waiariki District, Department of Māori Affairs, based at Rotorua. He was a Committee member of the Pouākani 2 Trust and the Mangakino Township Incorporation between 1980 and 1989, a member and Chair of the Pāpāwai Marae Committee in the 1990s and a trustee on the Papawai & Kaikōkirikiri Trusts. He has been a trustee of Kawakawa 1D2 Ahu Whenua Trust (sometimes known as Ngawi Station) since 1992.

The Workman whānau are descended from Te Ikahoungata, the eldest child of Hinewaka, of the hapū Ngāti Hinewaka.

He Herenga Tāngata A Relationship Agreement between Wairarapa Moana Trust and Victoria University of Wellington Wairarapa Moana Trust is proud to announce a new Relationship Agreement with Victoria University of Wellington.

We look forward to working together to support our whānau attending studies at the university and exploring research opportunities that can support the growth of our whenua.

Both parties agree the Relationship Agreement is to clarify, formalise and enhance the relationship between the Trust and Victoria University and there is an intention and commitment to establish an interactive, positive and balanced relationship.

Both parties agree to work co-operatively to support the participation and success of Wairarapa Moana staff and students at Victoria University; to explore research initiatives in areas of mutual interest that in particular contribute to the advancement of Wairarapa Moana; to explore scholarship initiatives to financially support Wairarapa Moana students at Victoria University; and to meet at least once a year to outline each other’s priorities for the coming year, identify opportunities for collaboration and to review progress on the relationship.

Prof. Grant Guilford and Anaru Smiler signing Relationship Agreement.

MEET DARYAN PARATENE Daryan commenced work with the Incorporation as office administrator in October 2018. We are pleased to welcome Daryan to the team and the following is a short introduction.

Daughter of Anton Paratene and Cheryl Wilmshurst and grand-daughter of shareholder Janet (Namana) and Keith Wilmshurst. She is the youngest of four and was born in Whangarei and has been living in the Wairarapa for the past 17 years.

She is a young mother to her one-year-old daughter, Azariah, who gives Daryan the motivation to keep pushing herself to strive for goals to give Azariah a good future.

Daryan has picked up on the role of Administrator quickly and admits there are still some things she needs to learn and is looking forward to the challenge.

She likes to be called Daz.

Notification of a Deceased Shareholder Ngaro atu he tētē, whakaeke mai he tētē. When one disappears another is ready to carry on.

Death is never easy to announce and we will all find ourselves in this position some time in our lives.

There are instances when the office is unaware of a shareholder having passed away and so correspondence and the Wairarapa Moana Mailer continues to be sent to the deceased shareholder.

On some occasions whānau members have become upset when mail addressed to their loved one continues to arrive at the address on the share register. It would be greatly appreciated if whānau could let the office know of shareholders who have passed on. Give us a call so we can update the share register and support the whānau to succeed.

Te Rangiura o Wairarapa Te Rangiura o Wairarapa were one of 14 teams that took the stage for the Kahungunu Regionals in 2018 at Wairoa. Along with Te Rerenga Kotuku, Matangirau and Ngāti Ranginui they headed to Wellington to compete in Te Matatini 2019.

Te Matatini ki te Ao was held over four days with 46 groups performing in front of massive crowds. Even the wet weather couldn’t keep the supporters away from the thrill of kapa haka and the warmth of whanaungatanga.

Many of the members of Te Rangiura o Wairarapa are young and have come through the Kura Kaupapa movement and nurture the kaupapa of te reo, Wairarapatanga and Te Aho Matua.

Hundreds of supporters, young and old, made their way to Westpac Stadium on Saturday 23 February to watch Te Rangiura o Wairarapa perform with other regional finalists on the big stage at Te Matatini…..and who knows how many others watched via livestreaming on Māori Television.

Te Rangiura o Wairarapa didn’t make the final nine who performed again on the Sunday. They were placed 21st out of 46 groups. They were billed as the festival newbies and a new group on the rise. There is no doubt that they represented Wairarapa in a positive way and there is no doubt that they made us all very proud. Kei runga noa atu koutou!

A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE Kapa Haka festivals have been around for many years. Festival names have changed, performers have come and gone but the passion remains.

We have just experienced the crème de la crème at Te Matatini ki te Ao. With the performance of Te Rangiura o Wairarapa we remember our whanaunga who have walked the pathway to the many stages.

Here is a photo of Te Whānau Whānui ki Wairarapa taken in 1995, Te Karapinepinenga Wakatoi o Takitimu, held at the War Memorial Stadium in Masterton.

Ahuwhenua Trophy 2019 Finalists Announced Whangara Farms

The finalists in this year’s Ahuwhenua Trophy for the top Māori sheep and beef farm were announced at Parliament on 21st February by the Minister of Agriculture, Hon Damien O’Connor.

The finalists are: Whangara Farms, situated 35 km north of Gisborne; Te Awahohonu Forest Trust – Gwavas Station, at Tikokino 50 km west of Hastings; and Kiriroa Station – Eugene & Pania King, at Motu, 70 km northwest of Gisborne.

The Ahuwhenua Trophy is the most prestigious award for excellence in Māori farming and was inaugurated in 1933 by the renowned Māori leader, Sir Apirana Ngata and the Governor General at the time, Lord Bledisloe. The objective was and still is to encourage Māori farmers to improve their land and their overall farming position as kaitiaki. On a three-year rotational basis, the trophy is competed for by Māori farmers in the sheep and beef, horticulture and dairy sectors.

The Chairman of the Ahuwhenua Trophy Management Committee, Kingi Smiler, says the high calibre of this year’s finalists shows the strength of the Māori agribusiness sector.

He says selecting the three finalists from an impressive field of entrants was no easy task.

“This competition is prestigious and people actively seek to enter this event to showcase the quality of their farming enterprises. What makes Māori sheep and beef farms so special is that in most cases they are in remote hill country areas which in itself makes farming operations challenging throughout the year, but especially in times of adverse events.

The resilience and innovation shown by these people is an example to all New Zealanders that hard work coupled with clear strategic objectives and excellent farm management can produce some outstanding outcomes,” he says.

Kingi Smiler says that over the years the Māori agribusiness sector has grown exponentially, not only in sheep and beef but also in dairy and horticulture. He says Māori are rapidly moving into the value-add space and to increase returns from their assets.

We are seeing better governance in trusts and incorporations and they in turn are employing top managers to run their businesses. At the same time young people are coming back to work on the land which is great. Māori are making the economic impact we always knew they could, he says.

Field days will be held at the farms during April. These are open to the public and provide an opportunity for the finalists to showcase their properties. It is also part of the judging process.

Field day schedule: Thursday, 4 April Whangara Farms Thursday, 11 April Te Awahohonu Forest Trust – Gwavas Station Thursday, 18 April Kiriroa Station – Eugene & Pania King More details are at www.ahuwhenuatrophy.maori.nz.

Te Awahohonu Forest Trust – Gwavas Station

Whangara Farms 2090 State Highway 35, Whangara, Gisborne 4073 Chair: Ingrid Collins Whangara Farms is a partnership of three Māori Incorporations. In 2006, Whangara B5 and Pakarae A and Other Blocks formed the original partnership. In 2015, Tapuwae Whitiwhiti joined and Whangara Farms Partnership was established. This effectively brought the three major Incorporations of Ngāti Konohi back under one management system.

The partnership allows the three partners to join commercially, but also retain their own identity. Ownership of the land was not transferred. Rather it was placed at the use of the partnership. This results in each Incorporation retaining their lands, their own share register and effectively their own autonomy.

Te Awahohonu Forest Trust – Gwavas Station 5740 State Highway 50, Tikokino 4274 Chair: Bob Cottrell Te Awahohonu Forest Trust was formed in 1971. The Trust is constituted by the Māori Land Court as an Ahu Whenua Trust. The Trust administers Tarawera C9 comprising 20,960ha in total, 8,428ha in Awahohonu forest, 2,623ha in Tarawera Station, and 9,909ha Ahimanawa (Native). In addition to Tarawera C9, the Trust owns 1,000ha at Gwavas Station, and a further 160ha farming property neighbouring Tarawera Station.

Gwavas Station was purchased by the Trust at auction in February 2011 and has undergone a significant development programme since purchase. The farm is located at 5740 State

Eugene and Pania King

Highway 50, just north of Tikokino in Central Hawke’s Bay. Gwavas Station is 1,000 hectares and the Trust leases a further 178 hectares of adjoining land, combining to provide an effective farming area of 989 hectares. Gwavas Station itself has a farming history dating back to the mid-1800s, the original station once covering 33,000 acres of land in the area.

Kiriroa Station – Eugene & Pania King 253 Motu Rd, Motu, Gisborne 4092 Kiriroa Station is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Eugene and Pania King. For 12 years they farmed in a whānau partnership. They all had one goal in common, to one day all own their own farms. The whānau knew that with hard work, commitment, and determination their goal would be reached. Eugene and Pania are grateful to have had the opportunity to farm with whānau, and are proud of what has been achieved.

In 2013 Eugene and Pania decided they had built enough equity to finally go out on their own. After a year-long search for a farm, they found Kiriroa. In March 2014 they moved to Motu to start a new chapter in their lives.

The Ahuwhenua Trophy It is now 86 years since the Ahuwhenua Trophy was inaugurated by the visionary Māori leader Sir Apirana Ngata and the Governor General at the time Lord Bledisloe. What is quite remarkable is that this competition remains as relevant and as prestigious now as it was almost a century ago.

While the values and vision of Sir Apirana and Lord Bledisloe have remained unchanged, the way the competition is run has moved with the times – especially since its re-launch of the competition in 2003.

Marae Update and “bubbles”. We hope even more people will join us next year and put Christ back into Christmas.

Since the New Year began we have Rev. Emily Bartlett join us as a priest. She has come from Hamilton to join her family in Masterton and we welcome her on board the waka that is Te Hepara Pai. The Marae has been busy already with many people hiring the space for their activities. Wings over Wairarapa is coming and the forces will be staying here. It’s a great space for a group. The church family took a bus to Castlepoint the weekend of 28th January 2019. A service at St Peter’s by the Sea was held. The people invited us to go, so it was a nice service and day at the beach. Fellowship is always good here at Te Rangimārie so come on in and join us.

Te Rangimārie Happy New Year to everyone. Well it’s hard to think about working to fill the pages when we still want to be holidaying.

Going back to Christmas, this church Marae had a beautiful service on the ātea starting at 8.30pm on Christmas Eve. About 100 people came. The traditional story was told and the children enjoyed playing the parts of the Nativity.

Angels, shepherds and kings abounded, decked out in tinsel and tea towels! Eucharist by twinkling lights was pretty magical. It was a lovely night followed by Christmas cake

It was with great sadness that we lost Reverend PuangaI-Te Rangi Wilson-Ratapu in early January. Puanga was a priest in our church community, a native speaker of te reo and a wonderful teacher and enthusiast of the language, encouraging us all to try. Puanga was acknowledged in the Kohanga movement and celebrated by her many students.

Our deepest sympathies to you Takapuna for the loss of our friend and priest, Puanga.

It is also with great sadness we have lost to our church community Donna Shailer and dear friend Elizabeth Hemi.

May God cause His light to shine on them and may they Rest in Peace.

Keep safe this year, stay as busy and active as you can and look forward to more news from Te Rangimārie.

Waiata Whakangahau o Wairarapa Moana In June 2018 the Trust contracted Makuini Kerehi to develop a taonga for Wairarapa Moana capturing our Waiata Whakangahau o Wairarapa Moana.

These were waiata selected by our six tĪpuna marae and also waiata that have been written for Wairarapa; many of our favourites. To ensure we produced high quality waiata for YouTube and Spotify through Makuini we engaged the services of Warren Maxwell and Paascalino Schaller. Paascalino worked with Will Moore so we could capture both video recordings and still footage. This team of four passionate and professional people have worked many hours, days and months to work with our whānau across Wairarapa and Mangakino.

We recorded 25 waiata and are excited to start the release of these waiata. The intention is to release one waiata per week.

You would’ve already seen some on our Facebook page and on our YouTube channel. Here is the list of waiata in the order they will be released: Ko Wairarapa Tēnei; Kei Hea Ngā Tuna; Ko Te OreOre; Haunui-a-Nanaia; Kōtiro Māori E; Tū Mai Rā; Kua Rā Rongo; Mahinarangi; Arohatia; Ko Te Aohuruhuru; Ko Papawai Te Marae; Ngā Iwi Ngā Reo; Pāora Pōtangaroa; Ko Hinetearorangi; Muramura; Mā Te Kahukura; Whakarauirihia Rā; Manuhuia; Mahi Piupiu; Moana Aio; He Atua Kaha Rawa; Mau Tonu; Ko Taku Whakapapa Rā; He Kakano Ahau; Whakapukepuke Ai I Aue. We were also fortunate to interview some of the composers of these waiata. It’s been a privilege to understand why some of our waiata were written and the true meaning behind each waiata.

This korero will be available on the Wairarapa Moana website as well as on our Facebook page.

The depth of work for this project was never predicted at the beginning. The Trust would like to thank the hundreds of whānau that have been involved. Each waiata was performed at least five times to ensure our professionals had all they needed to produce the final product. We have had all our tĪpuna marae involved and whānau from each marae that was able to be there; Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Wairarapa and Te Rangiura o Wairarapa.

Some of you will know of the North and South magazine.

The Editor became interested in this project while they were interviewing Warren Maxwell on another kaupapa. We will appear in their April edition in the Four Corners section that went on sale 11 March 2019.

The Trust is thankful to all those involved in this amazing project.

We hope you enjoy watching and listening to our beautiful waiata.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Trevor Hamilton, in February 2019, to the position of General Manager of Farms following the departure of Nick Hume.

Trevor Hamilton

The appointment has come following discussion by the Committee of Management with the decision that more support was needed for the farming enterprise. Trevor comes to Wairarapa Moana Inc. with over forty years farming experience and has ten farms of his own with 8,500 cows in both the North and South Islands. Trevor’s philosophy is to keep things simple and do the basics exceptionally well.

Interviews are currently taking place to appoint a Health and Safety Co-ordinator to support the farms. The Health and Safety Co-ordinator will work with Farm and Operations Managers and staff to promote and facilitate a safe working environment in an effort to get everyone home safely.

Applications have also been received for Farm Manager and 2IC positions for the 2019/20 season and interviews will take place in early March.

Milk production to date is 3,356,434 kilograms of milksolids and is ahead of last year by 71,054 kilograms of milksolids (2.2%) following good spring and early summer pasture growth.

WMI Facebook “If you haven’t heard Wairarapa Moana has a Facebook Page.

Yes, we’ve entered the social media sphere and whānau have welcomed us with open arms.

We share kaupapa happening in and around the rohe, farm and incorporation updates, important pānui like scholarships, dividends and of course pieces of interest as we move and shake around the motu. We share pictures of our whānau, their stories, and celebrate our triumphs. We’d love for you to keep up to date with us just as much as we’d love to keep in touch with you.”

Due to the good pasture growth record amounts of silage have also been made and will be used to support milking into autumn as well as winter feeding when cows are dry. More silage would have been made in February but the grass had to be eaten due to dry conditions (no rain since mid-January and only 20mm of rainfall in February compared to a long-term average of 80mm).
