As part of the seeking consent Silver Fern Farms Takapau has commissioned this Cultural Impact Assessment Report to gain an understanding of the effects of the activity on cultural values, and to determine whether the activity is within the boundaries of cultural acceptance. They have demonstrated respect for Tangata Whenua by extending the opportunity to develop this cultural impact assessment report. The Tangata Whenua from this area involve two marae, - Te Rongo a Tahu and Rākautātahi, and the hapū belonging to these marae; - Ngāi Tahumakakanui (also known as Tahu, Tahu ki Takapau), Ngāi Toroiwaho, Ngāi Te Kikiri o te Rangi, Ngāi Te Rangitotohu, Ngāti Mārau. The report will assist Silver Fern Farms Takapau with their application to Hawkes Bay Regional Council to assess these resource consents in particular discharge to land and groundwater abstraction, against RMA section 6, 6 (e), relationship of Māori with ancestral lands, waters and sites, and 6 (f) protection of historic (including cultural) heritage from inappropriate use and development; section 7 (a) Kaitiakitanga and section 8 Treaty of Waitangi. Despite alienation of traditional lands, waterways and other taonga resources through the land sales of the 1800s, Mana whenua have never relinquished their kaitiaki role. They have always strived to sustainably manage natural resources and to protect taonga; biodiversity; fauna and flora; ecosystems; wāhi tapu; and cultural landscapes.

This section of the report outlines the objectives, methodology and limitations of the Cultural Impact Assessment Report (CIA). This CIA has been prepared on behalf of Te Rongo a Tahu and Rākautātahi maraes and their respective Hapū – Ngāi Tahumakakanui, Ngāi Toroiwaho, Ngāi Te Kikiri o te Rangi, Ngāi Te Rangitotohu, Ngāti Mārau. The iwi of this area is Ngāti Kahungunu. This CIA is in response to a request from Silver Fern Farms Takapau to provide a Cultural Impact Assessment Report for their resource consents application that is due 31 December 2018. 1.1 Objectives The objectives of this CIA report are: (1) To document the cultural values associated with the sites of activity regarding discharge to land and groundwater abstraction. (2) To identify the potential effects on cultural values as a result of the proposed treatment, discharge to land and groundwater abstraction. (3) To identify appropriate measures to avoid, remedy or mitigate, where practical, any adverse effects of the activity on cultural values. In meeting these objectives the report will: Provide all parties with a level of confidence and understanding related to the proposed activity and the consultation process. Provide an endorsed response from the hapū with respect to the Resource Consents Renewal Application. Provide a foundation for future discussions between the Hapū and Silver Fern Farms Takapau. 1.2 Methodology The approach for this CIA is culturally relevant and follows a Kaupapa Māori methodology that is underpinned by semi-structured oral history research upholding iwi, hapū and whānau development models promoted by Dr. Te Ahukaramū Charles Royal, Dr. Monty Soutar, Professor Hirini Moko Mead, Parekāwhia McLean and others.1 The term Kaupapa Māori is widely recognised and applied across a wide range of disciplines

  • (Māori) Battalion
    Fact sheet 5: The formation of the 28th (Māori) Battalion When the decision was made in October 1939 to form a Māori military unit one suggestion was to call it the ‘Treaty of Waitangi’ battalion. It was felt that this would draw the attention of both Māori and Pākehā to their respective obligations under the Treaty. Article Three of the Treaty spoke of the rights and obligations of British subjects, something Āpirana Ngata saw as ‘the price of citizenship’. He believed that if Māori were to have a say in shaping the future of the nation after the war, they needed to participate fully during it. It was also a matter of pride. As Ngata asked, ‘how can we ever hold up our heads, when the struggle is over, to the question, “Where were you when New Zealand was at war?”’ Officially called the New Zealand 28th (Māori) Battalion, the unit was part of the 2nd New Zealand Division, the fighting arm of the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force (2NZEF). The NZ Division was made up of 15,000- 20,000 men, divided into three infantry brigades (the 4th, 5th and 6th Brigades) plus artillery, engineers, signals, medical and service units. Each brigade initially had three infantry battalions (numbered from 18th to 26th). The 28th (Māori) Battalion was at times attached to each of the Division's three brigades. Each battalion was commanded by a lieutenant-colonel. The Māori Battalion usually contained 700-750 men, divided into five companies. The Māori Battalion’s four rifle companies were organised on a tribal basis: • A Company was based on recruits from

  • 'Be(Com)Ing' Ngāti Kahungunu in the Diaspora: Iwi Identity and Social
    ‘Be(com)ing’ Ngāti Kahungunu in the Diaspora: Iwi Identity and Social Organisation in Wellington Christina M. González A thesis submitted in fulfilment of a Master of Arts (MA) in Māori Studies Victoria University of Wellington Te Whare Wānanga o te Upoko o te Ika a Māui 2010 Abstract Ngāti Kahungunu is an ideal example to investigate the processes of identity management and socio-political representation within and outside of their traditional tribal territory. It is the third most populous iwi in Aotearoa/New Zealand, with approximately 60,000 members, and boundaries that span from the Wairoa district down to the Wairarapa region. Kahungunu’s complexity and dynamism are not restricted to its territorial boundaries. A large portion of Kahungunu members form expatriate tribal communities located beyond their tribal district. The Wellington region hosts the largest number of Kahungunu members dwelling outside of their tribal territory, as well as the Ngāti Kahungunu Embassy. The Embassy is an organisation which, like many other expatriate Māori tribal bodies, faces the challenges of locating and reaching its tribal members to connect them to their Kahungunu home and heritage, while simultaneously representing their particular, Wellington-specific voices. This thesis explores the ways that Ngāti Kahungunu identities are articulated, maintained and transformed by individuals and institutions in Wellington today, by analysing qualitative interviews with ten Kahungunu men and women, and a case study on the Kahungunu Embassy. Three chapters on iwi identity, home and social organisation illustrate how Kahungunu voices in Wellington can more adequately be heard, and their experiences included, in the tribe, despite their apparent geographic and cultural distance.

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.

  • The Hidden Power
    HOPE for all THE HIDDEN POWER See our nation’s history through different eyes, and take a fresh look at the future. A diverse group of churches throughout New Zealand STORIES OF HOPE have come together to gift these booklets to every home, to highlight some of the remarkable untold stories of our FROM THEN AND NOW nation’s early bicultural history and share the message that is still changing hearts and lives two centuries later. Our first booklet told how Ngapuhi chief, Ruatara first invited the Reverend Samuel Marsden to Aotearoa 200 years ago. It was a very different beginning to what many believe, and one that offered great hope to many people. This booklet tells some of the stories that follow, showing the great impact the Bible had among the Māori people and why it continues to do the same today in the lives of many New Zealanders. This is about ‘the hidden power’. Hope for reconciliation – Tārore’s story Tārore was the daughter of Ngati Haua chief, Ngākuku. She had learned to read Māori at the missionary school in Matamata and would often read her father’s copy of the Gospel of Luke, which had recently been published in Māori. Tragically, Tārore was killed during a raid led by by an enemy tribe on October 19th, 1836. She was only twelve years old. 1 At Tārore’s tangi, Ngākuku did It’s hard to imagine how something radical. significant this was Instead of The message of forgiveness wasn’t the only life- vowing revenge, changing concept introduced by the missionaries.
