Quarterly Report 2020/2021 April - June Quarterly Report 2020/2021 April - June Amohia Ake Te Ora o Te Iwi Ka Puta Ki Te Whei Ao To protect the wellbeing of our people is paramount HE MAIMAI AROHA HE MAIMAI AROHA Wiremu Hira Muru (Rick) 1950 – 2020 He Maimai Aroha E kanapa kau ana a Taawera ki runga o Taupiri. Ko te whetuu o te ata, ko te koohaetanga o te awatea. Waahia te poo, nau mai te raa! E maapuna ana te roimata ki a Wiremu Hira Rick Muru. Rick was one of the longest serving kaimahi of Waikato-Tainui. He was a stalwart supporter of rugby league, playing for both the Kiwis and his beloved Taniwharau. He was the Chair of Waahi Paa in Huntly and a hands-on worker for both the Marae and the Iwi. Although he had a rough exterior at times, he was also a gentle giant to a number of kaimahi throughout his many years of service with the tribe. E te rangatira ringa raupaa, e te amokura ihu oneone. Takoto mai i te maakohakoha o ngaa maatua, moe mai raa 2 3 Ngaa Kupu Whakataki This special issue of the Quarter One report for 2020 is dedicated to Waikato-Tainui’s response to Covid-19. As an iwi, we started to see the effects that the pandemic was having on communities both globally and across Aoteaora. We quickly moved to mobilise ourselves at the end of March, developing and executing the Waikato-Tainui Iwi Response Plan. The framework and approach of this plan was clear: Inform, Prepare and Uplift (IPU) our tribal members and marae. HIGHLIGHTS Under the guidance of Kiingi Tuuheitia’s tongikura – “Amohia ake te ora o te iwi, ka puta ki te whei ao, To protect the wellbeing of our people is paramount”, the organisation began to implement the Waikato-Tainui response plan. Between April and June, several strategies were rolled out to support marae and help our most vulnerable tribal members and whaanau. Key initiatives from this plan included a Covid-19 distribution and call centre, mobile flu vaccination clinics, food packs, marae hygiene packs, tangihanga and marae guideline support, and a regular series of iwi updates shared through paanui and online videos. Although kaimahi were redeployed to meet the needs of the response plan, we ensured that business continuity was not compromised and were able to confirm our mandate for outstanding claims and complete the integration of Radio Tainui into the tribal organisation during this quarter. FINANCIAL SUMMARY We achieved a surplus of $2.3 million for the year to date 30 June 2020. This was driven by better than expected performance on our investments and a slow start to project spend due to Covid-19. Activities for this quarter focussed on our iwi response plan. Distribution spend for this quarter, made up of both projects and grants, was $2.5 million. From this, $1.7 million related to grants paid directly to tribal members and organisations. We also secured external funding of $758,000 to support our Covid-19 response which helped cover expenditure for this quarter.

The visit was carried out in follow-up to the 2005 visit of the previous Special Rapporteur, Rodolfo Stavenhagen. The principal focus of the report is an examination of the process for settling historical and contemporary claims based on the Treaty of Waitangi, although other key issues are also addressed. Especially in recent years, New Zealand has made significant strides to advance the rights of Maori people and to address concerns raised by the former Special Rapporteur. These include New Zealand’s expression of support for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, its steps to repeal and reform the 2004 Foreshore and Seabed Act, and its efforts to carry out a constitutional review process with respect to issues related to Maori people. Further efforts to advance Maori rights should be consolidated and strengthened, and the Special Rapporteur will continue to monitor developments in this regard.

  • Ngāiterangi Treaty Negotiations: a Personal Perspective
    NGĀITERANGI TREATY NEGOTIATIONS: A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE Matiu Dickson1 Treaty settlements pursuant to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi can never result in a fair deal for Māori who seek justice against the Crown for the wrongs committed against them. As noble the intention to settle grievances might be, at least from the Crown’s point of view, my experience as an Iwi negotiator is that we will never receive what we are entitled to using the present process. Negotiations require an equal and honest contribution by each party but the current Treaty settlements process is flawed in that the Crown calls the shots. To our credit, our pragmatic nature means that we accept this and move on. At the end of long and sometimes acrimonious settlement negotiations, most settlements are offered with the caveat that as far as the Crown is concerned, these cash and land compensations are all that the Crown can afford so their attitude is “take it or leave it”. If Māori do not accept what is on offer, then they have to go to the back of the queue. The process is also highly politicised so that successive Governments are not above using the contentious nature of settlements for their political gain, particularly around election time. To this end, Governments have indicated that settlements are to be concluded in haste, they should be full and final and that funds for settlements are capped. These are hardly indicators of equal bargaining power and good faith, which are the basic principles of negotiation. As mentioned, the ‘negotiations’ are not what one might consider a normal process in that, normally, parties are equals in the discussions.

  • The Misappropriation of the Haka: Are the Current Legal Protections Around Mātauranga Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand Sufficient?
    523 THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF THE HAKA: ARE THE CURRENT LEGAL PROTECTIONS AROUND MĀTAURANGA MĀORI IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND SUFFICIENT? Isabella Tekaumārua Wilson* This article analyses the protections the New Zealand intellectual property framework provides for the haka and mātauranga Māori. Part II of this article defines the key terms of "misappropriation", "traditional knowledge" and "mātauranga Māori" in order for the reader to fully understand these concepts in an indigenous, and specifically Māori, context. Part III of this article discusses the importance and significance of haka in Māori culture, particularly looking at the history and significance of Ka Mate, the most well-known haka in New Zealand and the world. Examples of different companies, both New Zealand and internationally-owned, using the haka for commercial benefit are analysed to establish whether or not their use of the haka is misappropriation, and if so, the harm this misappropriation has caused Māori. Part IV discusses the current legal protections New Zealand provides for mātauranga Māori and whether they sufficiently protect the haka and mātauranga Māori generally. It will assess the Haka Ka Mate Attribution Act 2014 as a case study. Part V outlines the limitations of the intellectual framework. Part VI of this article looks to what legal protections would be sufficient to protect against the misappropriation of the haka and mātauranga Māori generally.

  • Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu's Treaty Settlement Negotiations With
    Balancing rangatiratanga and kawanatanga: Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu’s Treaty settlement negotiations with the Crown Martin Fisher A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2015 i ii Abstract Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu’s negotiations with the Crown produced the first two major iwi-based agreements of the modern era of Treaty settlements in New Zealand/Aotearoa. While the existing historiography has previously addressed the general parameters of each agreement, and some key players have briefly written about their involvement in the process, an analysis of both negotiations through the lens of the iwi (tribe) pursuit of rangatiratanga (or self-determination) and the Crown’s defence of its sovereignty and kawanatanga (or governance) increases our understanding of these precedent-setting Treaty settlements. Māori rangatiratanga and Crown sovereignty and governance were not the only factors that drove all parties in their negotiations, but they represented the dominant motivating force in terms of reaching agreements on very difficult issues. Through an investigation of Ngāi Tahu, Waikato-Tainui, Crown and public sources, this thesis identifies the balancing of iwi rangatiratanga and the Crown’s sovereignty and kawanatanga in four major areas of the process: the development of iwi governance systems post-settlement, the negotiation of the financial aspects of the settlement, the parameters surrounding the return of land, and the formulation of the historical accounts and Crown apologies. The political structures set by the Crown to govern the process influenced all aspects of the negotiation.

I Mārama te Rironga ko a te Kuīni The Waipukurau Purchase and the Subsequent Consequences on Central Hawke’s Bay Māori to 1900. A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Massey University Manawatū, New Zealand Michael Allan Hunter 2019 i Abstract In 1820s and 1830s Māori from Central Hawke’s Bay came into contact with Pākehā for the first time and they began to trade. From this contact they began to see the benefits of Pākehā. So they requested the government to establish a Pākehā settlement and offered land for sale. Land was purchased at Waipukurau on 4 November 1851. Donald McLean made sweeping promises of benefits and riches when the deed was signed however these benefits and riches would never come to the Māori of Central Hawke’s Bay. The Waipukurau purchase opened the door for more purchases. The Māori of Central Hawke’s Bay began alienating their land. First through direct purchasing with Donald McLean then through the Native Land Court. Māori would soon find themselves in debt which would lead to the Hawke’s Bay Native Lands Alienation Commission 1873. Central Hawke’s Bay Māori emerged as leaders of the Repudiation Movement of the 1870s and then the Kotahitanga Māori Parliament of the 1890s in order to fight for their lost lands.
