Ngā Kaitiaki o Ngā Wai Māori was formed by Ngāpuhi hapū including Ngati Hau, Ngati Kahu o Torongare, Te Orewai, Te Uriroroi, Te Parawhau, Te Kumutu and Ngāti Hine. The group was established in 2012 in response to Ngāti Hau’s concerns in 2007 about pumps installed in the Hikurangi swamp cutting up tuna during every flood. From sharing stories about the ill state of the waterways, the struggles of migrating tuna and the lifeless stretches of re-directed water-drains they decided on the name Ngā Kaitiaki O Ngā Wai Māori - Te huarahi hei whakahokia mai te mauri o nga awa (Caretakers of fresh water rivers and tributaries - a pathway to return the essence of life to the water ways). Now in it’s third year Ngā Kaitiaki O Ngā Wai Māori has formed partnerships with Northland Regional Council, Far North and Whangarei district councils, National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), Fonterra, Department of Conservation, Rayonier/Matariki Forestry, Northpower, farmers, fisheries, Te Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi-O- Ngāpuhi (TRAION) and others. The group’s strategic plan, facilitated by TRAION Hapū Development Natural Resource Manager, Tania Pene, has a timeframe of five years. “The Rūnanga is there to provide support and guidance to the rōpū - we are working alongside them,” she said. Ngā Kaitiaki O Ngā Wai Māori continues to work with NIWA to run tuna workshops, tagging and releasing of tuna, weighing, measuring, ageing, and identifying the species of tuna including their sex. Last year 50 breeding-age tuna were fitted with transponders to enable scientists to track their paths as they migrate. In April this year members of the group and community, with students from local schools, NIWA staff and Tania worked together as part of the tuna-monitoring programme at the Wairua River Hydro Station. With work on the North Power station involving the dewatering of the canal connected to the river, they were able to enter the water to catch, record and release migrating tuna. Hoori Tuhiwai from Korokota Marae, who manages the elver trap and transfer operation said there are approximately 6500 elvers in every kilogram he releases upstream. Information collected from the waterways and tuna-monitoring programmes supports the aspirations of Ngā Kaitiaki O Ngā Wai Māori to better protect and return the mauri to Ngā Awa o Te Ruapekapeka, Tapuhi and Puhipuhi to the Wairua Mangakahia. Being able to track migrating tuna means that Ngā Kaitiaki O Ngā Wai Māori will get better data about the way tuna journey to Tonga, including the obstacles they encounter along their travels. The Stream Health Monitoring Assessment Kits provided by the regional council has enabled them to study the quality of the waterways and detect any changes that may occur. The need for future generations learning how to be sustained by whenua, and replenished by wai, in order to appreciate and in turn tiaki these taonga was identified by the group in their strategic plan. Young Māori students from the local area have been taught to use the kits and continue to be involved in other waterways and tuna programme fieldwork. “It’s about sharing knowledge so there are up and coming kaitiaki.” 3 3 Pono Marika 2014 Tūhoronuku is Steeped in our History By Haami Piripi Ngāpuhi need Ngāti Hine to complete the roof of our Ko Ngāpuhi e Ko te house, and we must find a way to ensure Ngāti Hine Koko Kai can achieve what it requires from within Te Whare Tapu THE notion behind o Ngāpuhi, not outside of it. Leadership of this nature Tūhoronuku is will dissolve the mirage and provide a more appropriate steeped in our perspective for hapū to concentrate on. ancestry and psyche From what I have observed and experienced among as Ngāpuhi. In my the kotahitanga camp their mandate is thin, and their view, it is disrespectful leadership is severely diminished in capacity. In fact there of our forbears is no Māori entity better than an iwi to consolidate and for us to belittle and authenticity of our history, that strategically align all the aspirations into a single vision expresses the ethos of our cultural identity as Ngāpuhi of the people. That is the purpose of the iwi which is descendants.

We must remember that on the back of and more recently Tūhoronuku. To extract a hapū the old korero, we as Ngāpuhi have already established a like Ngāti Hine, from on-going Ngāpuhi development body (or waka) to represent us, beginning with fisheries robs the entire iwi of its potential. Aside from the and then the delivery of important services of our advantage gained for Ngāti Hine, the effect on the wider Ngāpuhi whānau and communities. iwi of Ngāpuhi would be severely debilitating. This is To my mind we would be foolish to now walk away from exasperated by the oasis mirage which is created by the the institution to look for another reiteration of our Treaty Claims industry. Once hapū think they see this identity. The odds of getting it right the first time are mirage, they chase after it like fools gold, and the more pretty slim, as they would be, with something like 150 unprepared and disempowered the hapū is, the more hapū, 118 marae and over 144,000 people scattered chance there will be for them to chase the mirage. around the world. This is the case with several hapū leaders advocating for We should remember also, that the very same people the Kotahitanga o Ngā Hapū approach.

Hi Tung Jung Members Trust this newsletter finds you all well. In the past few months in Wellington, we have experienced a huge storm with wind gusts exceeding the Wahine storm and causing much damage and disruption to our city. On top of this we were hit with a number of earthquakes which really shook us up and left us wondering when the proverbial Big One would come. It was however good for the supermarkets because everyone stocked up on bottled water, candles, canned foods, batteries and torches. OK for some?

  • Navigating the Waka of Māori Community Development
    New Zealand Journal of History, 49, 1 (2015) Navigating The Waka Of Māori Community Development PANGURU, ‘THE MAORI AFFAIRS’ AND ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE 1950S BETWEEN 1954 AND 1957, THE PEOPLE OF PANGURU in North Hokianga participated in a community development experiment administered by the Department of Maori Affairs. The Panguru Community Development Pilot Project, as it was officially named, was initiated by John Booth, the first anthropologist employed by the department.1 The project signalled an experimental policy shift away from individualistic ‘land development’ to collective ‘people development’. Although the project was a one-off, ‘tri-anthropological’ engagement was not new; throughout the early and mid-twentieth century, anthropology established a role in determining the pace and shape of the state’s assimilation policy, as well as in Māori efforts to revitalize tribal economies. The Panguru project provides a unique window into Māori negotiations with anthropology and the state. At the heart of this complex interaction was a clash of world views about what a ‘modern Maori community’ could and should have been in the 1950s. Although the state increasingly managed the processes of assimilation within the frame of modernity, such a view was peripheral if not irrelevant to the people of Panguru. Their participation in the project highlights how the leaders and people of Panguru took advantage of what they believed were the most beneficial features of the project. They sought control of their land, resources and economic futures, as well as access to modern technology and ideas. Examining their experience shows how Māori people – at both community and national levels – worked with the state and New Zealand’s emergent anthropological community, and negotiated anthropological theory in order to achieve divergent goals in the mid-twentieth century.

  • Natural Areas of Aupouri Ecological District
    5. Summary and conclusions The Protected Natural Areas network in the Aupouri Ecological District is summarised in Table 1. Including the area of the three harbours, approximately 26.5% of the natural areas of the Aupouri Ecological District are formally protected, which is equivalent to about 9% of the total area of the Ecological District. Excluding the three harbours, approximately 48% of the natural areas of the Aupouri Ecological District are formally protected, which is equivalent to about 10.7% of the total area of the Ecological District. Protected areas are made up primarily of Te Paki Dunes, Te Arai dunelands, East Beach, Kaimaumau, Lake Ohia, and Tokerau Beach. A list of ecological units recorded in the Aupouri Ecological District and their current protection status is set out in Table 2 (page 300), and a summary of the site evaluations is given in Table 3 (page 328).
