  • Patuone - Ngati Hao & Ngapuhi 3/16/16, 2:40 PM
    Patuone - Ngati Hao & Ngapuhi 3/16/16, 2:40 PM Back to "Patuone A Life" Index Ngāti Hao and Ngāpuhi Apart from the mention of Ngāti Hao in various census records of hapū members, there is little recorded in official histories. The history of Ngāti Hao therefore is therefore better known through the exploits of its much later rangatira. The links of Ngāti Hao are, however, closely interwined with Te Popoto. The stronghold of Patuone's section of Ngāti Hao in Patuone's own time was the upper reaches of the Hokianga in the Waihou Valley at a place called Whakanekeneke together with lands, cultivations and and a kainga near Horeke, much closer to the harbour proper. There are accounts from Williams, Earle, Angus and others about visiting Patuone there as well as a watercolour depiction of Patuone's kainga by Augustus Earle, dating from 1827. Nene also had a pa at Lake Omapere1. Ngāti Hao derives its name from an incident rather than an ancestor. This is in accordance with what is accepted as one account for the iwi name Ngāpuhi, that it relates to an event rather than attaching to a person and founding ancestor. Following a massacre at Te Totara, an island in the Waihou River, the 'Hao' of Ngāti Hao refers to the assigned role of gathering up the bones of the slain. Ngāti Hao is also significant in that it was an influential hapū due to the great mana which attached to its key leaders over many generations right down to Patuone. Later references by pākehā suggested it was a powerful but declining force in the latter stages of the lives of Patuone and Nene.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FOREWORD 2019 has been an extraordinary year in the development and progress of the Pūhoro STEM Academy. We celebrated many new milestones including the official launch of Te Urunga Pae or Phase 2 of our programme which saw our original 2016 cohort transition successfully into tertiary level study. This was an amazing achievement and a true realisation of our vision to see our rangatahi advance Māori leadership and capability to deliver and grow a world-class science community. The progress of the Pūhoro programme also included our expansion into Ōtautahi. We were privileged to OUR VISION be welcomed into the region at a pōwhiri held at Ara Institute of Canterbury by Kāi Tahu, Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu and Ara Institute of Canterbury staff. To advance Māori leadership and capability to help deliver a world Another highlight for Pūhoro was the introduction of the Engineering Young Māori Minds STEM Challenge to class science community our suite of offerings. This initiative is the first of its kind in the world - an indigenous, pūrākau-based science challenge designed to offer a Māori-centred approach to engaging rangatahi in STEM. As the growth of the Pūhoro programme accelerates, we are seeing increased iwi representation through our OUR PURPOSE rangatahi and this will have a significant impact on how our whānau, hapū and iwi interact with, and access, the benefits of STEM innovation and mātauranga Māori. To be the Centre of Excellence for Rangatahi STEM capability This annual snapshot showcases these milestones, demonstrating that through the collective efforts of our in Aotearoa rangatahi, whānau, teachers, kura, industry partners and government agencies, we are continuing to disrupt the narrative around Māori student science achievement and advancing our purpose of being the centre of excellence for Rangatahi STEM capability in Aotearoa.

Overall, the findings show that most Māori feel positive about their lives. This is despite many also experiencing considerable difficulties on a daily basis that are disproportionate to non-Māori. Besides a higher burden of depression, anxiety and psychological distress, for example, a significantly higher proportion of Māori than non-Māori also consider the last 12 months as being among their most difficult ever.

  • Te Oro O Te Ao the Resounding of the World
    Te Oro o te Ao The Resounding of the World Rachel Mary Shearer 2018 An exegesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Art and Design 1 2 ABSTRACT criteria of ihi—in this context, the intrinsic power of an event that draws a re- sponse from an audience, along with wehi—the reaction from an audience to this intrinsic power, and wana—the aura that occurs during a performance that encompasses both performer and audience, contribute to a series of sound events that aim at evocation or affect rather than interpretable narratives, stories or closed meanings. The final outcome of this research is realised as a sound installation, an exegesis and a 12” vinyl LP. Together these sound practices form a research-led practice document that demonstrates how and why listening to the earth matters, and pro- poses a multi-knowledge framework for understanding sound, space and environ- ment. Nō reira And so Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all This practice-led PhD is a situated Pacific response to international critical dia- logues around materiality in the production and analysis of sonic arts. At the core of this project is the problem of what happens when questions asked in contexts of Pākehā knowledge frameworks are also asked within Māori knowledge frameworks. I trace personal genealogical links to Te Aitanga ā Māhaki, Rongowhakaata and Ngāti Kahungunu iwi.

  • 18 Tangata Whenua
    18 TANGATA WHENUA Summary RPS objective • Involvement of tangata whenua in the management of the natural and physical resources of the region. Tangata Whenua in Northland • In the 2006 census, 31.7% of the Northland population (148,000) identified themselves as Maori, compared with 14.6% nationally. • There are 12 iwi whose tribal boundary falls either partially or entirely within Te Tai Tokerau: Ngati Kuri, Ngai Takoto, Te Aupouri, Ngati Kahu, Ngati Kahu ki Whangaroa, Ngati Kahu/Ngapuhi ki Whangaroa, Te Rarawa, Ngapuhi, Te Roroa, Ngatiwai, Te Uri o Hau and Ngati Whatua. Tangata Whenua and the environment • Tangata whenua traditionally have a holistic approach to the management of the environment and its resources. Their values, perspectives and traditions are underpinned in sections 6, 7 and 8 of the RMA. Because of this, the Council endeavours to provide opportunities for their involvement in the sustainable management of natural and physical resources in a way that is appropriate and meaningful. • As at August 2007, approximately 10,530 archaeological sites in Northland related to Maori occupation are recorded on the NZ Archaeological Association’s site recording scheme database, including wahi tapu sites, middens, terraces, pa sites, battle grounds and burial sites. Progress to date • At June 2008 the Council recognised nine iwi environmental management planning documents and holds a collection at Councils Water Street office. The council takes into account these documents when developing or changing policy. • Council continues to circulate non-notified consent applications to provide Maori who have expressed an interest in reviewing resource consent. • Council continues to distribute a panui (newsletter), to those Maori on its database (nearly 300 different organisations), which outlines activities of interest to Maori and opportunities for involvement in Council projects and processes.
