SUMMARY The attached Statutory Acknowledgements section does not form part of the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan; it is attached for information purposes only. Part 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Statutory acknowledgements have arisen from a number of Treaty of Waitangi Settlements around the country as part of cultural redress for Maori. 1.2. Statutory acknowledgements relate to specific areas of importance (known as statutory areas) to a claimant group1 and affects processes under the Resource Management Act, including applications for resource consents and local authority responsibilities. 1.3. This document contains the statutory acknowledgements that wholly or in part cover statutory areas within Hawke’s Bay. 2. WHAT ARE STATUTORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS? 2.1. A statutory acknowledgement is a formal recognition made by the Crown of a claimant groups particular cultural, spiritual, historical and traditional association with a specific area (statutory area) owned by the Crown. 2.2. Statutory acknowledgements may apply to land, rivers, lakes, wetlands, landscape features or a particular part of the coastal marine area. Where the statutory acknowledgment relates to a river, lake, wetland or coastal area, the acknowledgement only applies to that part of the bed in Crown ownership. 3. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF STATUTORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS? 3.1. The purpose of statutory acknowledgements is to ensure: • that a particular claimant group’s association with a certain significant area(s) in Hawke’s Bay is identified, and that the relevant claimant group is informed when a proposal may affect one of these areas. • consent authorities have regard to statutory acknowledgements when identifying affected parties in relation to resource consent applications. 4. WHAT ARE HBRC’S OBLIGATIONS FROM STATUTORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS? 4.1. The main obligations arising for the Hawke's Bay Regional Council from statutory acknowledgements are summarised below: Having regard to statutory acknowledgements 4.2. When assessing resource consent applications for an activity that is located within, adjacent to, or impacting directly on a statutory area, the consent authority must have regard to2 the statutory acknowledgement when forming an opinion as to whether relevant iwi is adversely affected by a resource consent application. 4.3. Decision making in relation to statutory acknowledgements is still subject to the provision of Part II of the RMA (i.e. the RMA’s purpose and principles). Providing resource consent applications to relevant iwi 4.4. A consent authority must forward summaries of resource consent applications, to relevant iwi, where activities will affect the area to which the statutory acknowledgement applies. 4.5. The summary of the application must be provided as soon as reasonably practicable after the application has been received, and before the consent authority decides whether or not to notify the application. Recording statutory acknowledgement in statutory plans 4.6. Information recording statutory acknowledgements must be attached to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan and the Regional Coastal Environment Plan. 4.7. The attachment of information to plans is for information purposes only. The statutory acknowledgement’s have not been formally adopted by the Regional Council, and does not form part of the Hawke’s Bay Regional Resource Management Plan. 5. USE OF STATUTORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN SUBMISSIONS 5.1. Claimant groups will be able to cite statutory acknowledgements in submissions to a consent authority, as evidence of their particular association with statutory areas. In this context, the statutory acknowledgement does not of itself provide the association for the purpose of consent proceedings but may be taken into account by decision makers. Part 2 1. STATUTORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS WITHIN THE HAWKE’S BAY REGION 1.1. As at August 2016, Treaty of Waitangi settlement legislation, containing statutory acknowledgments, has been enacted for the following iwi within the Hawke’s Bay region. • Ngai Tāmanuhiri • Ngati Manawa 1 Claimant groups are usually iwi or large hapū (tribes and sub-tribes) that have a longstanding historical and cultural association with a particular area. Some very specific claims may result in agreements with smaller groups. 2 The phrase ‘have regard to’ does not guarantee that iwi will be considered an affected party in terms of the relevant sections of the RMA. Consent authorities retain discretion to make their own decision, after having regard to the statutory acknowledgement. 3 • Ngati Whare • Ngati Pāhauwera • Rongowhakaata • Maungaharuru-Tangitū Trust • Ngāti Hineuru • Heretaunga Tamatea hapu • Iwi and Hapū of Te Rohe o Te Wairoa 1.2.

  • (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

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Traditional Knowledge Systems and Crops: Case Studies on the Introduction of Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and Taewa Māori (Solanum tuberosum) to Aotearoa/New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of AgriScience in Horticultural Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Rodrigo Estrada de la Cerda 2015 Kūmara and Taewa Māori, Ōhakea, New Zealand i Abstract Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and taewa Māori, or Māori potato (Solanum tuberosum), are arguably the most important Māori traditional crops. Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

  • 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.

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.

  • Proposal for Tūranganui-A-Kiwa / Poverty Bay [Alteration from Poverty Bay]
    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.
