The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Heretaunga Haukū Nui A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Māori Studies) at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Pōhatu Paku 2015 Abstract Relationships with the environment for Ngāti Hāwea sit at the core of everyday living. Everything is connected. The essence of this philosophy arises from whakapapa, mauri, mana and tikanga. Practices based on an understanding of the environment have supported Ngāti Hāwea in maintaining and sustaining whānau and communities for many centuries. At present, key natural and physical resource management legislation define obligations and relationships when working with Māori in this space. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the Local Government Act 2002 and the Resource Management Act 1991 requires engagement and capacity for Māori to contribute to the decision-making processes of any local authority in its operations. This project aims to contribute to the bigger picture around engagement with Māori, and furthermore Māori-Council relationships. This project seeks how effective engagement brings with it not only opportunities for Māori, hapū and local government players, but also the different meanings and expectations that stakeholders bring to inclusive practices and the implications for policy engagement. This study is interested in the processes by which Māori and the Hawkes Bay Regional Council engage with each other, and examines the ways in which natural resource management operations recognize and facilitate hapū values, interests and aspirations under statute.

  • The Urewera Mural Becoming Gift and the Hau of Disappearance
    the urewera mural Becoming Gift and the Hau of Disappearance ISABEL MCINTOSH — 5 June 1997 It’s midwinter in New Zealand. And at 4 am in the Te Urewera National Park, in the middle of the North Island, it’s cold and it’s wet. The drizzle drips on the broadleafs that dominate this remote area. As water slides slowly down the leaves, there’s only silence as the unrelenting moisture soaks the earth. The two families who live at the small settlement at Lake Waika- remoana are used to silence, and the damp. Many are Ngai Tuhoe people, one of New Zealand’s indigenous Maori tribes that settled in the Urewera a millennium ago. Suddenly, an alarm disrupts the environment. The ringing wakes Aniwaniwa area manager Glenn Mitchell. He recognises it’s from the Aniwaniwa Visitor Centre, on the edge of Lake Waikaremoana and just two hundred metres from his home. As he leaps out of bed, pulling on his trousers, he looks out the window and sees a car speeding away, heading west along the only through road in the national park. Mitchell sees the broken windows of the visitor centre and a 14-square-metre gap where the Urewera Mural had been when he locked up the night before. All three panels, each 1.8 metres wide and 2.1 metres high, are gone. A roadblock is set up in Ruatahuna thirty kilometres away. However, this doesn’t deter a speeding yellow sedan that lunges through its gap. Later this car is found abandoned, a burnt- out wreck by the side of the road.
