  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years. By Dr Rebecca Townsend 1 Key Points 1. 2. 3.

The Otorohanga lifestyle. p5 6. Otorohanga District Council. p6 7. Otorohanga District Council vision. p7 A Candidate’s Guide to the Otorohanga District | 2 Background Aotea The Otorohanga District is part of the King Country region, known by Māori as ‘Te Rohe Potae’ - “The Area of the Hat.” It extends along the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island from Mount Pirongia in the north to the coastal town of Kawhia in the south and stretches inland to Pureora Forest Park and the Waikato River. The Otorohanga District is located 50 kilometres south of Hamilton. The area governed by the Council covers 1976 square kilometres and extends from the Kawhia and Aotea Harbours on the west coast for a distance of 90 km to the eastern extremity on the Waikato River near Mangakino. Included within the District are the urban communities of Otorohanga, Kawhia and Aotea. The eastern and western areas have predominantly more hills than the central area, which forms the southern limit of the Waikato Basin. Otorohanga is centrally placed, being within an easy driving distance of Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo and New Plymouth. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture, with sheep, beef and dairy farming being the principle activities. The town has a population of approximately 3000 and is a service centre for the surrounding rural areas. Otorohanga is the closest town to the world-famous glow worm caves at Waitomo, which generate significant tourist traffic.

Ko te kotahitanga te waka e kawe nei te oranga mō ngā whānau, mō ngā hapū, mō ngā iwi. Poipoia te rangatahi, ka puta, ka ora. The name ‘Tuia’ is derived from a tauparapara (Māori proverbial saying) that is hundreds of years old. This saying recognises and explains the potential that lies within meaningful connections to: the past, present and future; to self; and to people, place and environment. The word ‘Tuia’ means to weave and when people are woven together well, their collective contribution has a greater positive impact on community. We as a rangatahi (youth) leadership programme look to embody this by connecting young Māori from across Aotearoa/New Zealand - connecting passions, aspirations and dreams of rangatahi to serve our communities well. 1 Tuia Overview Tuia is an intentional, long-term, intergenerational approach to develop and enhance the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. We look to build a network for rangatahi to help support them in their contribution to their communities.

    Kāpiti Island Gateway Centre Feasibility Study Final Report 5th floor Aviation House 12 Johnston Street P O Box 2515 Draft Wellington 6140 New Zealand 1 30 October 2013 Prepared for: Kāpiti Coast District Council and Department of Conservation P: 64 4 472 3114 F: 64 4 473 0020 E: [email protected] www.trctourism.com Executive Summary This report presents findings from a preliminary feasibility study into a proposed Gateway Visitor Centre for Kapiti Island. The Kāpiti Coast District Council and the Department of Conservation commissioned the study. A consulting team comprising TRC Tourism Ltd, Destination Planning Ltd and Pynenburg and Collins Architects Ltd undertook the work between May and September 2013. A Kāpiti Island Gateway Committee made up of iwi, business, government and community stakeholders has been set up to guide and oversee the work. The feasibility study was carried out concurrently and linked to the review of visitor information services by Destination Planning Ltd. The objectives of the Centre are to: 1. Significantly enhance the experience of visitors going to Kāpiti Island by providing ease of access, information and education about the Island 2. Increase the number of visitors to the Island while ensuring ongoing protection 3. Increase the profile of Kāpiti Island nationally in order to attract more visitors to the Kāpiti District as a whole An underlying motive for the Centre is to integrate District agendas for tourism, conservation, iwi Maori and business. Four options for achieving the objectives and the underlying motive were explored. Multiple potential locations for the proposed Centre were assessed and the study team’s consensus is that the existing site occupied by the Kāpiti Boating Club offers the best potential.

  • In Ngāti Mutunga (1820 – 2019)
    Nā te kōti i tatari: The inconsistent treatment of tikanga taurima (whāngai) in Ngāti Mutunga (1820 – 2019) Matiu Payne A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 1 August, 2019. Acknowledgements He kura tangihia, he maimai aroha. Mākū ana te whenua i te roimata, i te auētanga o te whakaaro o te hunga kua whetūrangitia. Kei te mārama taku titiro atu ki maunga Taranaki ki maunga Pipitarawai me ō rāua taketake, ngā takotoranga whakamutunga o ōku huānga, o ōku kaumātua i riro atu ki te pō. Ko Joe Tapara, ko Charlene Tapara, ko Bob Goomes, ko Teresa Goomes rātou i ū ki ngā kaupapa Ngāti Mutunga ki Wharekauri. Ko rātou anō hoki ngā whenū o tōku korowai whakaruruhau i runga i tēnei huarahi mātauranga. Nō reira e ōku raukura, e ōku rauhuia, otirā e te rau o tītapu. E moe, e moe, e okioki. Mā ngā parirau whānui o te kākākura koutou e tauawhi i runga i tō koutou huarahi. Haere, haere, haere atu rā. Many supportive Ngāti Mutunga kaumātua have passed away during the course of this thesis. I spent many hours in discussion, with their warm company, and encouragement. Their knowledge of Ngāti Mutunga history and experiences were invaluable. I wish to acknowledge Uncle Joe and Aunty Goog (Charlene) Tapara, Aunty Teresa Goomes and Uncle Bob Goomes without whom the journey to completion of this PhD Thesis would have been arduous. In my own whānau, Aunty Linda Grennell and Uncle Graeme Grennell have joined our tūpuna (ancestors) throughout the duration of this thesis.
