Presentations Whakaaturanga 6.1 Update from Hinemihi Marae DRAFT MINUTES YET TO BE CONFIRMED 2 KOMITI MĀORI MINUTES 2 NOVEMBER 2020 Presented by: Ruakiri Fairhall on behalf of Rangitihi Pene who had been called to a prior engagement. Key Points: Ngāti Hinemihi were a hapū of Ngāti Tarāwhai, connected to Tūhourangi and multiple branches of Te Arawa. A key aspiration for the hapū was to repatriate the carvings of Hinemihi o Te Ao Tawhito whare tupuna from Clandon Park in Surrey, England. o Repatriation of the carvings was a 5-year project. o Vision was to build a new whare to be located in the United Kingdom in exchange for the carvings; a place for expatriates and those that had looked after Hinemihi whare tupuna. o Rebuild the whare tupuna for Tūhourangi iwi. o Seek pan-tribal support to contribute resource materials. o Project was supported by Manatū Taonga (Ministry of Culture and Heritage), the Onslow whanau and Clandon community, British National Trust and British-Māori Community. Hinemihi Marae would be hosting a Te Arawa-Tūhourangi Ahurei/festival in 2021 that would bring the iwi together before returning to England on the 135th anniversary of the Tarawera eruption. Ngāti Hinemihi hapū were active in running a weekly online Te Reo Māori programme for tamariki and mokopuna, with a focus on Te Reo Māori, tikanga and whakapapa. Key Points - Members: Cr White noted Te Taumata (Māori Trade Organisation) and the British High Commissioner may be potential avenues to support the project and offered his assistance as a point of contact. Taonga acquired during the 1800s were acquired and showcased as a symbol of conquest of a dying race however, noted future pathways were being initiated towards reconciliation. Wished Ngāti Hinemihi all the best with their endeavours and aspirations. Items for Staff Follow Up: An update was requested at a future Komiti Māori meeting on Ruakiri Hall’s new Kaiwhakamanawa role at Toi Moana. 6.2 Te Arawa 2050 / Te Matakitenga a Te Arawa Presentation: Te Arawa 2050 Vision: Objective ID A3667136 Tabled Document 1 - Te Arawa 2050 Vision: Objective ID A3674215 (Available online at www.tearawavision.nz) Presented by: Jude Pani, Manahautū and Jenny Riini, Kaiwhakahono, Te Tatau o Te Arawa Key Points: Te Arawa 2050/Te Matakitenga a Te Arawa/Te Arawa Vision (refer Tabled Document) was developed by and for Te Arawa iwi/hapū. Te Hahautanga o te Waka structure, timeline and multi-level engagement. Vision document was launched in July 2020 and had been founded on the words of Te Ōhākī a Houmaitawhiti, as portrayed in the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUDMFdZbHcc&feature=youtu.be Covered the area of the Confederation of Te Arawa iwi and hapū. DRAFT MINUTES YET TO BE CONFIRMED 3 KOMITI MĀORI MINUTES 2 NOVEMBER 2020 Strategic direction: Te Whakaterenga o te Waka set out 30 goals agreed by Te Arawa people across seven strategic areas to be achieved by 2050. Acknowledged Toi Moana for providing staff resourcing to assist with the facilitation of five workshops. Background on Te Tatau o Te Arawa Partnership Board and key strategic priority areas for 2021. In Response to Questions: Regional Council could support Te Arawa’s Vision by providing staff expertise to develop the transformational recovery plan (region-wide) and spatial planning strategy. Te Tatau would be seeking support. Te Arawa Lakes Trust’s register could be utilised to connect with rangatahi that lived outside the rohe. Rangatahi leaders were also active at engaging other rangatahi on their social networks. Key statistics used in the development of the Te Arawa Vision were outlined in the Te Arawa Vision document. Key Points - Members: Congratulated Te Arawa on the development of their Vision and Strategy. Te Arawa’s Vision had been well founded by Te Arawa people and would step them into a transformational phase. In response to a query raised from the floor, Toi Moana did not have an atonement policy to address iwi/hapū issues, but relied on national policy directives, and acknowledged the need to address and support Iwi and hapū issues, resourcing and capacity. Were heartened to see iwi/hapū strengthening themselves and progressing the journey, with local government in support. Recognised and congratulated Matakana Island iwi/hapu and the Western Bay of Plenty District Council on their decision to return the ownership of Panepane Purakau (eastern end of Matakana Island) back to the local hapū, which was an example of the progress being made with local government. 6.3 Ahi Kaa Roa Roopu - Update on Development of Nga Wai Ariki o Rotorua: He Kohikohinga - Hau Kainga Perspectives on the Health of Geothermal Taonga within Rotorua Presentation - Nga Wai Ariki o Rotorua He Kohikohinga - Hau Kainga perspectives on the health of Geothermal Taonga within Rotorua: Objective ID A3667205 Presented by: Elva Conroy, Lani Kereopa and Lorraine Hall Key Points: Elva Conroy (Kaituhituhi) Ahi Kaa Roa roopu involvement and perspectives on the Rotorua geothermal system would encompass: o Physical health of the resource. o How the use of the taonga had changed over time. o Health and wellbeing of the people. o Inter-generational impacts from changes to access and use over time from geothermal exploitation, bore closures, and city development. o Sensory based perspectives. DRAFT MINUTES YET TO BE CONFIRMED 4 KOMITI MĀORI MINUTES 2 NOVEMBER 2020 Case study areas included: Ngāpuna, Whakarewarewa, Ōhinemutu, and Kuirau-Tarewa. The final report would provide a snapshot in time of the Ahi Kaa Roa representatives’ perspectives, which would not replace the views of other Iwi and hapū, and those living in their respective areas. Presenters commented on the excellent working relationship they have with staff in this space. Lani Kereopa on behalf of Ngāti Whakaue/Ohinemutu Mismanagement of the resource had impacted the health and cultural wellbeing of Iwi and hapū, and their ability to utilise and exercise kaitiakitanga over their taonga/resource. Provided examples where local hapū/residents were cut-off from utilising the resource when commercial operators had access to it (e.g. Te Rau Aroha Wharekai at Whakarewarewa) or were unable to utilise the resource for bathing and heating due to high infrastructure and repair costs. Requested support from Toi Moana to: o Incorporate Mātauranga Māori, equally alongside western science, within the Rotorua Geothermal System Management Plan. o Protect the taonga and enhance kaitiakitanga, i.e. through supporting Ahi Kaa management and monitoring of the resource. o Engage and discuss with the Ahi Kaa Roopu prioritisation use of the resource. o Support Te Arawa’s sustainable energy security project. o Integrated planning of geothermal, freshwater and seawater as these resources were connected. Lorraine Hall on behalf of Ngāti Te Hurunga te Rangi (Ngāpuna) In the 1940s, Ngāpuna thrived and the Puarenga Stream was an abundant food source. Today, the area was heavily industrialised and the Puarenga the most polluted awa in the country. Decline of the health of the people and environment could be attributed to noise and pollution. The geothermal resource was the last taonga for local hapū. Wanted to see change for next and future generations. In Response to Questions: Inter-generational health issues of local people included respiratory, skin and visual problems. Ahi Kaa Roa roopu had completed a report to take to their communities, before bringing it to Toi Moana at a future time.

  • 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.

  • Ngati Pikiao Lands: Loss of Tribal Ownership and Control
    NGATI PIKIAO LANDS: LOSS OF TRIBAL OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL Alan Ward Newcastle, N.S.W 21 October 2001 A report for the Waitangi Tribunal Synopsis In customary Maori society, different kinds of land rights were held at different levels of the society - individual, whanau, hapu, and iwi. The advent of the commercial economy led Maori to seek clearer definition oftheir rights, at each of those levels, as do modern South Pacific societies. But there was no widespread demand among Maori to abrogate totally the 'tribal' level- certainly not among Ngati Pikiao. British and colonial govemments, however, purported to transmute the allegedly communal 'tribal' rights into individual rights, through the operation of the Native Land Acts. In fact, they elevated customary individual use rights into the right of each individual to severally alienate his or her interests in the new titles, while rarely facilitating the development of individual farms on the ground. In reaction against the debilitating effect of this process, Maori, for more than a century, have demanded a restoration of 'tribal' authority over the land. This would appear to be in contradiction to the trend in other South Pacific societies, where the drive for individual or family enterprises is strong. In fact, however, most South Pacific societies are opposed to widespread 'land registration' or 'conversion' or 'titling'ofcustomary tenure. Instead, there is a great deal of infOlmal demarcation of individual and family farms, internal migration of small groups, and informal trading in land rights to accommodate these trends. Formalisation of the arrangements is sometimes sought to accommodate internal migration, especially to the towns, but still with limited modification of customary tenure.
