FEB 2013 PANUI VOL. # TWO ISSUE #1 Lead Negotiator – Willie Te Aho The Rongowhakaata Iwi Trust has supported the establishment of two new entities to progress the development of Rongowhakaata. The first is the Te Hau ki Turanga Trust. The other is the Turanga Group Holdings Limited. More korero on these two entities below. Strateg ic Plan Update Both of the entities are a result of the Rongowhakaata settlement that was signed on 30 The strategic planning committee thanks all whanau members who gave feedback at the AGM in November. The committee is taking on board the suggestions given by the iwi and look forward to circulating the draft strategic vision tyo all iwi members in the up and coming months. Communications Update The iwi panui will now be a bi-monthly panui to keep our whanau informed of what is happening. The website is beginning to be updated and the trust has Shaun Maynard to help with this mahi. We are also working on the iwi register to ensure that all iwi members are receiving the iwi panui and other information. If you have moved or have changed address, please email the iwi trust with your updated contact details: [email protected]. Finally, if you have any news to share please send in korero to: [email protected] Te Hau ki Turanga Update Te Hau ki Turanga Trust The focus of Te Hau ki Turanga Trust is threefold (1) to fully restore Te Hau ki Turanga, (2) to advise Te Papa Tongarewa on the day to day care of Te Hau ki Turanga, and (3) to carry out a feasibility on the return of Te Hau ki Turanga back to Turanga. Once a potential Turanga site is locked down then the feasibility will focus on (1) a facility as good as or better than Te Papa to house the whare (2) the government meeting the cost of building the facility and its future maintenance being funded by the Crown. The final say on whether or not Te Hau ki Turanga is returned to Turanga will be a formal voting process of all eligible Rongowhakaata voters. The trustees for Te Hau ki Turanga Trust, as per the settlement and Deed of Trust are: Ngati Kaipoho (Judge Layne Harvey, Miria Pomare and Jimmy Whaitiri), Rongowhakaata Settlement Trust (Tutekawa Wyllie), Te Aitanga a Mahaki & Affiliates (Robyn Rauna) and Ngai Tamanuhiri (Angus Ngarangioue). The facilitator for the Trust is the former Rongowhakaata Lead Negotiator, Willie Te Aho. For the trustees and the facilitator this is voluntary work and none are paid fees. In March and April 2013 the trustees will be travelling to see different examples of taonga repatriation or cultural revitalisation including Mataatua whare (Whakatane), NZ Maori Arts & Crafts (Rotorua) and Wharewaka (Wellington). It is expected that, with the assistance of Te Papa Tongarewa and external contractors, the feasibility will be completed by November 2013. All queries can be directed to Willie Te Aho (email: [email protected] or mobile: 021 768 462). FEB 2013 PANUI VOL. #TWO ISSUE #1 Turanga Group Holdings The commercial Rongowhakaata settlement properties (excluding Opou Farm) will be held by Turanga Group Holdings (TGH). TGH will also exercise the option to buy key properties that were identified in the Rongowhakaata Deed of Settlement. These properties include: Manutuke School land, Gisborne Court House land and the Rock Products land (at the end of Grey Street opposite the Railway Station). From 1 March 2013 TGH will hold $3m worth of these settlement properties (including the old police station on Peel Street and the old AML/meat works site opposite Watson Park) plus another $3m cash from the Rongowhakaata Settlement to purchase the options properties. So this will be a $6m Rongowhakaata company. The Rongowhakaata Iwi Trust agreed last month that the financial targets to be achieved by TGH over the next 3 years are a 4% gross return by January 2014; a 5% gross return by January 2015 and a 6% return by January 2016. So the expectation of the Rongowhakaata Iwi Trust is that by January 2015, TGH will be generating at least $360,000 gross cashflows per year. The two director s for this company are Stan Pardoe (Chairman) and Willie Te Aho (Managing Director). They will each be paid $9,000 per year which is half of the recommended rate from the NZ Institute of Directors. This is all the TGH cashflows will allow at this time. Both directors are appointed for a 2 year period. Tama Brown, a Mangatu Director and Manager of the Runanga economic base, is the TGH Chief Operating Officer. The TGH budget and investments were approved by the Rongowhakaata Iwi Trust who will receive monthly reports from TGH. The commercial settlement properties for Te Aitanga a Mahaki & Affiliates will be added to TGH once the Mahaki settlement is completed by 2014 at the latest. All queries can be directed to Tama Brown, TGH Chief Operating Officer (e-mail: [email protected] or office: 068678109). Marae News Pahou: The wananga held in November about kawa and tikanga was well attended and some great discussions have come from that initial wananga. There are more wananga in the pipeline and these dates will be made available at a later date. We are also still working on getting water down Tuaraki Road and to the marae but in the meantime we continue to do what we need to do. Our marae meeting will be held: Feb 23, 10am at Pahou Marae.

    (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

    New Zealand Institute of Architects Is Gifted a Te Reo Māori Name

    Media release: 9 September 2019 New Zealand Institute of Architects is gifted a te reo Māori name The New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) is proud to announce its gifted Māori name – Te Kāhui Whaihanga. NZIA president Tim Melville says the inclusion of a Māori name is an important moment in the history of the Institute, which was established in 1905 to represent New Zealand’s architects. “The Institute’s Māori name recognises the contribution of indigenous design practitioners, declares our commitment to the values of the Treaty of Waitangi and signals our desire to promote inclusivity in our profession.” “We are most appreciative of the gift of a name that offers a deeper level of meaning to our work as New Zealand architects,” Melville says. The name Te Kāhui Whaihanga was bestowed on the NZIA by the academic, broadcaster, writer and artist Dr Haare Williams MNZM (Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki, Rongowhakaata, Ngāi Tūhoe). Dr Williams says the te reo name combines Te Kāhui, a collective term for a group of people, and Whaihanga, which means to build or shape. “Te Kāhui Whaihanga is not a translation of the NZIA’s name,” Dr Williams says. “It’s an interpretation that advances an idea to another level. Te Kāhui Whaihanga is not only about architecture – it’s also about building a nation’s future and building a people.” The te reo name for the Institute of Architects is a further recognition of the evolving relationship between the Institute and Ngā Aho, the organisation representing Māori design professionals. The mutual commitment to that relationship is expressed in a kawenata or covenant signed by the NZIA and Ngā Aho two years ago.

    Proposal for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [alteration from Poverty Bay] Image provided by proposer Inset NZTopo250 mosaic Crown copyright reserved Summary Gisborne District Council (GDC) proposes altering the existing recorded name, Poverty Bay, for the bay south of Gisborne (town), to a dual name Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay. In 1769 Lieutenant James Cook named the feature Poverty Bay because he was unable to resupply at the bay1. There are several kōrero for Tūranganui-a-Kiwa relating to Kiwa of the Horouta or Tākitimu waka. A commonly cited meaning is ‘the great [or long] standing place of Kiwa’. GDC’s reasons for the proposal include: - restoring an original Māori name, - a dual name being representative of the area’s bicultural heritage, - support for te reo Māori, - possible economic and tourism benefits, - some evidence of community support for a dual name, - a name change fostering positive cultural and social outcomes. GDC consulted with Tūranga iwi: Ngai Tāmanuhiri, Rongowhakaata, and Te Aitanga a Māhaki, who it identified as mana whenua. Letters of support are included, although they each support only the original Māori name, not a 1 J A Mackay (1949), Historic Poverty Bay and the East Coast, North Island, New Zealand, Gisborne, Chapter V – the Unhappy Naming of Povery Bay. – accessed 20 March 2018 NZGB meeting 12 April 2018 Page 1 of 11 Linzone ID: A3204829 dual name.

I am going to talk about three things today. First, I am going to tell you the story of the colonisation of a small town of my country to help summarise the colonial experience there, to give you some context by telling you a story which I think is, in a way, reflective of the colonial experience of my people. This story takes place in the town of Gisborne in the North Island. In Māori we call the island Te Ika a Maui, meaning “The Fish of Maui.” the place where Gisborne lies was, in traditional times, called Turanganui-a-Kiwa, meaning “The Great Standing Place of Kiwa.” So first, an example of the colonisation story in Aotearoa. The second thing I want to do is to ask, What is the point in this game? Why should indigenous people struggle within the law? I will give you some of my own views on that question. Finally, partly as a result of some conclusions I will ∗ Judge Williams is the chief judge of the Māori Land Court and the Chairperson of the Waitangi Tribunal.

It is the place where Captain James Cook and his companions first came ashore in New Zealand, heralding the traditions of European exploration and discovery. It is the site where Tupaea, the Ra’iatean high priest navigator who sailed with Cook, first met Maori, marking the links between local people and their ancestral homelands.
