To the new born iwi members, we welcome you and congratulate all the whanau on their new additions. It has been a privilege to Chair the Board of Te Runanga o Toa Rangatira for 2018, I have been supported by a robust, inquisitive united membership who along with our management team are committed to ensuring our iwi is strong and well. This year has been a very busy year for the Runanga as it continues to advance the interests of the iwi. Careful overseeing and managing the many aspects of our traditional business, as well as ensuring the business derived from our Treaty Settlement, provides growth and ensures a brighter future for our current and future generations. Can I say that the past year has been very stable yet progressive with our financial position being very strong, and with other interests coming on line soon the short to long term financial forecast looks very encouraging. This is due to our financial team including ARIC working together to ensure all decisions are based on solid well researched due diligence. The financial report presented today will cover off the many aspects of our financial journey and position for this year. Of importance to our iwi is the impending housing opportunity that will in my view provide our people with Jobs, training and a better sense of security, these opportunities will be covered off in the CEO’s report. I would like to say a big thank you to Management and staff who have had a challenging year yet through it all have managed to ensure the best possible outcomes are achieved. The Runangais aware of the load Management and staff carry on our behalf, we are also aware of the ongoing changes and challengers that influence our business from time to time which also brings added pressures and the ongoing need to ensure we are operating with best practice and cultural competence. So, to Ta Matiu and his team thank you all very much for your support and work achieved for 2018. To our Iwi thank you all for your support, patience and aroha as you are aware our board is made up of whanau who are there to ensure the cultural, sustainability and development opportunities have the iwi’s interests at the centre of their decision making. The stronger the platform we can develop today will ensure the future generations pathway ahead will allow them to be self-reliant, self- determined and for some to be better positioned to forgo state dependence. Again, can I thank the iwi for your support and say it is an honor and a privilege to serve our people, have a safe and happy Christmas and a may a bright New Year bring you all joy and happiness. Can I conclude by referencing the end of my speech I read at the signing of our Deed of Settlement in Parliament, on the 7th December, 2012,- quote ‘I say these things not to be boastful but to state that as a very small Iwi in terms of numbers the evidence has proved and will continue to prove that throughout history Ngati Toa will always be known as a quite unassuming people, but very capable of punching above its weight. From today we will move forward.’’ Unquote. No reira e te Iwi Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou, Katoa EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT Kia hōra te marino. Kia Whakapapapounamu te moāna.

Kā rua, me mahara hoki ki te hunga kua riro ki tu atu o Te Arai. Nā rātou I manakohia, nā mātou e whakatinanatia a rātou moemoea, hei whai kounga hoki I a mātou mahi. No reira e nga mate, haere, haere, haere atu ra. Kāti rā, ka āpiti hono, tatai hono, te hunga mate ki te hunga mate, ka āpiti hono, tatai hono, te hunga ora kite hunga ora. Ta Matiu Rei Tihei Mauriora! Executive Director Next year will mark the 30th year since the establishment of Te Runanga o Toa Rangatira Inc. Two or three years prior, I was on a committee that organised Te Reo Maori immersion programmes under the banner of Te Whakatupuranga Rua Mano. At the time, the Labour Government were proposing the establishment of Runanga or mandated Iwi Voice through a Bill in Parliament. This was a key platform of their programme, Devolution, or the disestablishment of the Department of Maori Affairs and the redistribution of Vote Maori to iwi. In anticipation our committee consisting of representatives from Ngati Raukawa, Atiawa ki Whakarongotai and Ngati Toa, developed a prototype constitution for use by the three iwi. Our constitution retains many characteristics of that prototype. The last significant change to the Constitution occurred in 2008 to include changes including representation and requirements of the Maori Fisheries Settlement Act. In August 2012, Ngati Toa’s Deed of Settlement for Historical Claims was signed. The two documents form the basis for Ngati Toa’s development. To honour a promise made in 2009 the Runanga has agreed to review the Constitution and to extend the review to the Deed of Settlement. It has appointed a panel of Jeanette Grace, Baden Vertongen and Rawiri Faulkner. The panel will be coming your way to seek your participation in the review. In many respects the past year has been one of consolidation of our various activities. It pleasing to see movement happening on our Kenepuru subdivision development. Stage 1 is well on its way to completion. 148 sections have been sold and allocated to builders. A further 6 hectares has been sold to Somerset, the aged residential care developer and a 1.5-hectare block sold to ABI a disability provider. Iwi members were given an opportunity to have first pick of the planned homes in stage 1 6 and a number have taken advantage of that opportunity. In November last year Oratoa purchased Waitangirua Medical Centre to complement our other four centres. Much of the equipment was old and obsolete and we were fortunate in obtaining a sizable grant from the Maori Provider Development Scheme operated by the Ministry of Health. Our Primary Health Organisation (PHO) now has over 18,000 registered clients. There are only two other iwi owned PHOs in Aotearoa. You now would have heard, that the Runanga has been developing two significant but different projects.

Received an email from Hillarey to all trustees on the 16th of May alleging there has been a breach of confidentiality by the Chair for circulating the database electronically. Tavake had emailed in reply to ask Hillarey for more details about her comment but BD advised that she was overseas. Bruce attended a hui with Ngāti Manuhiri involving some people into their trust. He said that one of the Trustees on the Ngāti Manuhiri confronted Mook Hohneck with some comments about whakapapa?

  • And Did She Cry in Māori?”
    “ ... AND DID SHE CRY IN MĀORI?” RECOVERING, REASSEMBLING AND RESTORYING TAINUI ANCESTRESSES IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Diane Gordon-Burns Tainui Waka—Waikato Iwi A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History The University of Canterbury 2014 Preface Waikato taniwha rau, he piko he taniwha he piko he taniwha Waikato River, the ancestral river of Waikato iwi, imbued with its own mauri and life force through its sheer length and breadth, signifies the strength and power of Tainui people. The above proverb establishes the rights and authority of Tainui iwi to its history and future. Translated as “Waikato of a hundred chiefs, at every bend a chief, at every bend a chief”, it tells of the magnitude of the significant peoples on every bend of its great banks.1 Many of those peoples include Tainui women whose stories of leadership, strength, status and connection with the Waikato River have been diminished or written out of the histories that we currently hold of Tainui. Instead, Tainui men have often been valorised and their roles inflated at the expense of Tainui women, who have been politically, socially, sexually, and economically downplayed. In this study therefore I honour the traditional oral knowledges of a small selection of our tīpuna whaea. I make connections with Tainui born women and those women who married into Tainui. The recognition of traditional oral knowledges is important because without those histories, remembrances and reconnections of our pasts, the strengths and identities which are Tainui women will be lost. Stereotypical male narrative has enforced a female passivity where women’s strengths and importance have become lesser known.

  • Ngāti Koroki Kahukura
    Ngāti Koroki Kahukura Submission to the Māori Affairs Select Committee on Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill June 2016 Submission From: Ngāti Koroki Kahukura Trust, Taumata Wiiwii Trust, Pōhara Pā, Maungatautari Marae, Pōhara Station Trust, Heketanga Whānau Trust (the Trusts) Contact Address: Contact Person: 1 Ko Maungatautari te maunga, ko Waikato te awa tupuna, ko Ngāti Korokī Kahukura mātou; ko Maungatautari, ko Pōhara ngā marae. Our mountain is Maungatautari; our ancestral river is Waikato; we are Ngāti Korokī Kahukura and our marae are Maungatautari and Pōhara. General Position of the Trusts on Te Ture Whenua Māori Reforms 1. The Trusts that make this collective submission represent over 3000 whānau members and support the fundamental principles of the reforms: a. Taonga tuku iho: ensuring land is retained for the benefit of future generations b. Mana motuhake – more autonomy for landowners to make more decisions affecting our lands and our people c. Whakawhanake – better support for landowners to develop our lands if that is our wish. 2. The Trusts set out more detailed comments below. 3. The Trusts do wish to be heard in support of this submission. As there are six trusts making these collective submissions, we seek half an hour. Background of the trusts 1. The people of Ngāti Koroki Kahukura descend from the ancestors of Tainui waka. According to historian, Erik Olsen, ‘ …there can be no doubt that the combined impact of confiscation and the Native Land Court stripped from Ngati Koroki Kahukura the land necessary to sustain their people. The development of European farming, which involved both draining most of the region’s wetlands and the gradual silting of its rivers, compounded the effect, by destroying traditional food sources.

  • THE BRIEF: What Is a Decolonised City?
    THE BRIEF: What is a decolonised city? Two sites, at two different scales are offered on which to consider the question ‘What is a decolonised city?’ At the larger scale is the Onepoto arm of the Te Awarua o Porirua (Porirua Harbour) and shoreline. At the smaller scale is a papakāinga site owned by a Ngāti Toa whānau, the Parai whānau. We invite you to share your utopian vision for a just, decolonised, vibrant and healthy Aotearoa New Zealand city using one of these two sites as the basis for these ideas. By utopian we mean an imagined, better way of living, not constrained by how things are now. The general public, young people, older people, architects, landscape architects, planners, environmentalists, economists, engineers, poets, artists, film-makers and other interested parties are invited to submit ideas. The brief is broad: we want big visions and/or detailed specific thoughts – all submissions can be contenders for prizes, an exhibition and publication. Futuristic ideas and practical solutions will both be welcomed. Figure 1: Location of Site 1 and 2 in Porirua City - Source: Google Earth Submission Requirements and Options ELIGIBILITY The “Imagining Decolonised Cities” urban design challenge is open to entries from across New Zealand.

  • Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu's Treaty Settlement Negotiations With
    Balancing rangatiratanga and kawanatanga: Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu’s Treaty settlement negotiations with the Crown Martin Fisher A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2015 i ii Abstract Waikato-Tainui and Ngāi Tahu’s negotiations with the Crown produced the first two major iwi-based agreements of the modern era of Treaty settlements in New Zealand/Aotearoa. While the existing historiography has previously addressed the general parameters of each agreement, and some key players have briefly written about their involvement in the process, an analysis of both negotiations through the lens of the iwi (tribe) pursuit of rangatiratanga (or self-determination) and the Crown’s defence of its sovereignty and kawanatanga (or governance) increases our understanding of these precedent-setting Treaty settlements. Māori rangatiratanga and Crown sovereignty and governance were not the only factors that drove all parties in their negotiations, but they represented the dominant motivating force in terms of reaching agreements on very difficult issues. Through an investigation of Ngāi Tahu, Waikato-Tainui, Crown and public sources, this thesis identifies the balancing of iwi rangatiratanga and the Crown’s sovereignty and kawanatanga in four major areas of the process: the development of iwi governance systems post-settlement, the negotiation of the financial aspects of the settlement, the parameters surrounding the return of land, and the formulation of the historical accounts and Crown apologies. The political structures set by the Crown to govern the process influenced all aspects of the negotiation.

  • Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING
    6. ‘At Every Bend a Chief, At Every Bend a Chief, Waikato of One Hundred Chiefs’: Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING Introduction At 425 kilometres, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, and a vital resource for the country (McCan 1990: 33–5). Officially beginning at Nukuhau near Taupo township, the river is fed by Lake Taupo and a number of smaller rivers and streams throughout its course. Running swiftly in a northwesterly direction, the river passes through many urban, forested and rural areas. Over the past 90 years, the Waikato River has been adversely impacted by dams built for hydro-electricity generation, by runoff and fertilisers associated with farming and forestry, and by the waste waters of several major industries and urban centres. At Huntly, north of Taupiri (see Figure 6.1), the river’s waters are further sullied when they are warmed during thermal electricity generation processes. For Māori, another major desecration of the Waikato River occurs when its waters are diverted and mixed with waters from other sources, so that they can be drunk by people living in Auckland. 137 Island Rivers Figure 6.1 A socio-political map of the Waikato River and catchment. Source: Created by Peter Quin, University of Auckland. As the Waikato River is an important natural resource, it has a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi1 claims by Māori for guardianship recognition and management and property rights.2 This process of claiming has culminated in a number of tribes 1 The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs in 1840.
