te rūnanga nui o te aupōuri PŪRONGO Ā-TAU FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPT 2020 HE PEPEHA, HE WHAKATAUKI NŌ TE AUPŌURI “Haere ki a Wheeru ki te rangatira. Haere ki a Te lkanui ki te toa.” Ko te mātāmua a Te More ko Kupe, te tuahine, ka noho ki Makora. Ko ngā tungāne a Wheeru rāua ko Te Ikanui i noho atu ki Hauturu. E koro, ēnei tūpuna kāhore e rite tahi ana. Koia i meinga ai, ko Wheeru he tangata humārie, he tangata hohou rongo. As explained by Te Wiki Popata. ‘Anō ko te tāpui nīkau e tū ana i Otōtope’ “Mokohorea...Ka rangatira ngā uri o Te Rūnanga, o Whakaririka, o Te Ikanui e noho huihui ana me he tāpui nīkau nō Otōtope” It is said that the descendants of Te Rūnanga, Whakaririka and Te Ikanui who lived together like the grove of nīkau palm trees at Otōtope, would be chiefs. Published in He Pepeha, He Whakatauki nō Taitokerau. ‘Ko Matapia te wai o aku kamo i taku titironga atu ki a koe’ Matapia is reflected in my eyes when I look at you. He whakataukī nāTōhē ki tana pononga ki a Ariki. A saying by Tōhē to his servant, Ariki. Information from Rev. Ihaka Eru (Toro) Ihaka, June 1986. ‘Ko Matapia te taunga o te kōtuku rerenga tahi’ Matapia is a rocky island off the coast from Te One Roa a Tōhē. In the time of Takingaro, a chief of Te Aupōuri, a kōtuku (white heron) rested there and was seen by him. The visit pleased Takingaro because the visit honoured his whenua, and because the feathers that could fall from it were greatly prized. Information from the Rev. Herepo Harawira ‘Ko te Atua ki te Rangi, ko Te Aupōuri kei te whenua’ ‘God is in heaven and Te Aupōuri is on earth’. “In recognition of the excep- tionally vital part that the Christian religion played in the daily lives of my tribe, the following proverb came into being, and is still referred to, even today.” Herepo Harawira, Keene 1974:9.

The people of Te Aupōuri share a number of well-known ancestors with wider Muriwhenua including: • Kupe of the Mata-whao-rua canoe and Te Ngaki of the Tawhiri-rangi canoe; • Nukutawhiti of the Nga-toki-mata-whao-rua canoe; • Ruanui-a-Tane of the Mamari canoe and his wife Manawa-a-rangi; • Whakatau of the Mahuhu-ki-te-rangi canoe; • Po-hurihanga of the Kurahaupo canoe and his wife Maieke; • Tu-moana of the Tinana canoe and his wives Pare-waha-ariki and Kahukura-ariki; • Te Parata of the Mamaru canoe and his wife Kahu-tia-nui; • Tōhē and Te Kura-a-rangi; • Tu-mata-hina and Tangi-rere; • Rahiri, Ahua-iti and Whakaruru; • Ue-oneone and Rei-tu; • Kai-rewa and Wai-miri-rangi; • Toa-kai, Tu-kotia and Tara-whati; • Haiti-tai-marangai and Puna; • Tuwhakatere of Ngāi Takoto, and his wives Tu-te-rangi-a-tohia and Tu-poia; and • Moko-horea and Uru-te-kawa. From these ancestors descend two families from which Te Aupōuri as an independent iwi trace their descent: Firstly, the family of More Te Korohunga and Te Awa. The name Te Aupōuri came about from an event in the time of More Te Korohunga and Te Awa’s children - Kupe, Wheeru, Te Ikanui, Te Kakati and Te Uruhapainga. Secondly, the family of Te Ihupango and Te Amongaariki II, who had two daughters - Tihe and Kohine. Te Amongaariki II is especially important to Te Aupōuri being the principal ancestress of the Te Kao lands and the southern Pārengarenga Harbour. Te Ikanui (More Te Korohunga and Te Awa’s son), married Tihe and Kohine (Te Ihupango and Te Amongaariki ll’s daugh- ters). These are the ancestors of the Te Aupōuri people of Te Kao - “Ngā uri o Te Ikanui ”. Regarded as the descendants of the children of the marriages of Te Ikanui with either Tihe or Kohine, being Te Heitiki, Tūpuni, Tonga, Te Kaaka, Manga, Puwai, Te Matakau, and Te Mai. Around 1830 there was a major inter-tribal conflict that left theAupōuri Peninsula largely deserted. Historic acts of peace- making and diplomacy followed. Te Aupōuri accepted an invitation from Poroa of Te Rarawa to stay with him at Wharo (Ahi- para). There, a number of peace marriages took place between Te Aupōuri and Te Rarawa. The most well-known of these was that of Meri Ngāroto, a chieftainess of Te Aupōuri, and Puhipi Te Ripi, a chief of Te Rarawa. Te Mahia of Te Aupōuri and Te Morenga of Te Rarawa signed the Declaration of Independence (He Whakaputanga) to- gether on 12 July 1837. On 28 April 1840 Paraone Ngaruhe and Te Wiki Taitimu signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi on behalf of Te Aupōuri at Te Ahu in Kaitaia. 5 MERI NGĀROTO Meri Ngāroto was a prolific composer of Te Aupōuri pepeha and waiata, where she recorded many elements of the history of Te Aupōuri. The following are some examples of her compositions as documented in the Te Aupōuri Deed of Settlement. There are other versions of each waiata but in the interest of consistency the versions printed here reflect those approved for publication in the Te Aupōuri Settlement. TE WHAKATAUKI A MERI NGĀROTO Hūtia te rito o te harakeke Kei hea te kōmako e kō? Whakataerangitia Rere ki uta Rere ki tai Māu e ui mai, ‘He aha te mea nui o te ao? ‘Māku e kī atu, ‘He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!’ Te Tangi a Meri Ngāroto mō Parāone Ngāruhe Te Tangi a Meri Ngāroto mō tana iwi o Te Aupōuri Tū noa ana rā te puke i Oromanga Tērā te uira wheriko i te rangi Tāhuhu kau ana ngā tai o te rae He tohu aituā nō aku mātua e Taku rena kāinga e nunumi ake nei Kā ngaro rā ngā iwi whakakiwa Ka ngaro rā e te puru o te whenua Ka ngaro rā ngā pūkōrero e Nāu rā te kī nei, puritia te whenua Kā ngaro rā ko te tini o te hoa E kore e puritia he whetū kamokamo Aku manu noho uru He nui ake koe kei ōu mātua Tiu ana i te tonga e I tuku ki te mate..

    JMAD Media Ownership Report

    JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2014 Published: 2014 December 5 Author: Merja Myllylahti This New Zealand Ownership Report 2014 is the fourth published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD). The report finds that the New Zealand media market has failed to produce new, innovative media outlets, and that all the efforts to establish non-profit outlets have proved unsustainable. The report confirms the general findings of previous reports that New Zealand media space has remained highly commercial. It also confirms the financialisation of media ownership in the form of banks and fund managers. The report also observes that in 2014 convergence between New Zealand mass media and the communications sector generally was in full swing. Companies, such as Spark (former Telecom NZ), started to compete head-to-head with the traditional broadcasters on the online on-demand video and television markets. The American online video subscription service Netflix is entering the NZ market in March 2015. Additionally, the report notes evidence of uncomfortable alliances between citizen media, politicians, PR companies and legacy media. As Nicky Hager’s Dirty Politics book revealed, the National Party and PR practitioners used the Whale Oil blog to drive their own agendas. Also, events related to Maori TV, TVNZ and Scoop raise questions about political interference in media affairs. It is now evident that the boundaries between mainstream media, bloggers, public relations practitioners and politicians are blurring. Key events and trends concerning New Zealand media Financialisation of mass media ownership confirmed Substantial changes in Fairfax, APN and MediaWorks ownership Competition heats up in online television and video markets Turbulence at Maori TV Blurred lines among politicians, bloggers, journalists and PR practitioners The JMAD New Zealand media ownership reports are available here: http://www.aut.ac.nz/study- at-aut/study-areas/communications/media-networks/journalism,-media-and-democracy-research- centre/journalists-and-projects 1 1.

    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).
