From a Tuwharetoa perspective, the past, present and future are seen as a cyclical continuum, each giving relevance and meaning to the other. Therefore, within this context we will begin the journey of our people with the haerenga that Te Ariki Ta Tumu Te Heuheu undertook between 2012 and 2014. On this haerenga, Te Ariki visited each and every hapu of Ngati Tuwharetoa to listen to the people and to learn what their aspirations were for their hapu and for their mokopuna. The resulting vision is a blueprint for the future of Ngati Tuwharetoa named Te Kapua Whakapipi. The text that follows is the speech that Te Ariki delivered to every hapu on his haerenga. "TGKINO (VIII) TE ARIKI TUMU TE HEUHEU Ka tTtiro whanui au I gaze into the distance Ki nga kokonga o toku rohe To the corners of my lands Kei reira nga mana o te motu To where the prestige of land lays Ko nga whanau, nga marae, nga hapu The whanau, marae, hapu Ki mai nga korero o o matua tupuna The old people our koroua and kuia cry out Whakaponotia! Manaakitia! Pumautia Believe in them! Care for them! Hold fast through the tikanga of Ngati Tuwharetoa Tihei mauri ora! "Ko Tuwharetoa te iwi, ko Tuwharetoa te hapu" This statement, once spoken by our kaumatua, is a timely reminder of the permanence and the resilience of our whakapapa and its centrality in defining our identity and our unity as Ngati Tuwharetoa. When our kaumatua spoke of hapu, they were intimately aware of the existence of whanau and hapu whakapapa that established unique, but overlapping lines of history, that are boundless through time, geography, and space. Each of us, and each of our hapu, are able to travel along a relatively unique journey through the pathways of our whakapapa. The above statement is important because it epitomises our strength and our capacity to unreservedly acknowledge the whakapapa bonds that bind and unite us as Ngati Tuwharetoa. 5 NGATI TUWHARETOA DEED OF SETTLEMENT TE KAPUA WHAKAPIPI Our whakapapa is the foundation of our identity; it is the foundation of who we are. It is the source of our whakakotahitanga because it combines the collective strength of all our hapG of Ngati TGwharetoa through bonds that are real, emphatic and established by our collective commitment to our TGwharetoatanga. Throughout Ngati TGwharetoa's history, this mindset has dominated. It has been clearly demonstrated in our continued survival and development, despite the erosive interference of colonial rule and its introduced laws. So I urge us all to maintain our respect for our TGwharetoatanga and to preserve this as our ultimate platform of strength in moving forward to implement a collective vision that will deliver us with a future that our mokopuna and their descendants will forever cherish. This is not to deny the rightful importance we place in our whanau and our hapG, but it does commit us to acknowledge those bonds that unite us all as Ngati TGwharetoa. We are indeed very fortunate that our vision for the future has been inspired by the outstanding deeds of our Ngati TGwharetoa tGpuna. Our whakapapa is here and it is that, of which we are all wanting to cherish. We have witnessed a rapacious colonial mindset and a hunger that has severed and weakened our people's relationship with our taonga tuku iho. In the process, we have been subjected to the systematic political and legislative erosion of our traditional beliefs and values, and all of this has imposed a heavy toll on the many facets of our wellbeing. We take heart in the fact that our history does illustrate our remarkable resilience for survival in a world of incredible challenge and uncertainty. Our survival is attributed to the legacy laid down for us by our ancestors, originating with our eponymous ancestor Ngatoroirangi. Our adherence to upholding the values and relationships between ourselves as a people and our environment has never wavered; Ngati TGwharetoa has never ceded our authority within our rohe, each generation upholding the legacy of Ngatoroirangi. Thus, seeing the past, present and future as a continuum, Ngati TGwharetoa is an ontological reflection of our environment and vice versa, one unable to exist without the other. We hold fast to this understanding that it may continue to be the foundation for our generations to come. Through my recent engagements with our hapG of Ngati TGwharetoa, I am learning that many of us share similar concerns and frustrations about the current state of our wellbeing, and the erosive impacts of external forces on our TGwharetoatanga. I am inspired to hear, however, that our aspirations and visions for ourselves, and our mokopuna, are remarkably similar, and that you share a passion to develop a clearer collective vision for our future. How this vision is shaped and realised will be something that each individual and hapG will no doubt have views on, and we must address this in a timely and constructive manner. At our hapG hui I have received many suggestions on what needs to be fixed and how things may be improved. I am recording these suggestions and they will be given very serious consideration, as will the range and nature of solutions that may be possible. I will not pre-empt this thinking before I have had the opportunity to hear from all our hapG. At this early stage of our korero, I want to emphasise the following thoughts: Tikanga: our tikanga is a central consideration in the blueprint that we develop for our future. I need not explain the tikanga, as you are well aware of the key concepts and components, and the importance of maintaining our reo rangatira. Many of our people have already raised grave concerns over the apparent decline in the number of kaumatua and pakeke who are able to

That process has been controversial. In particular, a 2006 agreement in principle between the Crown and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei was seen by other iwi as inimical to their interests and contrary to the Crown’s Treaty obligations to them. As part of resolving that controversy the Crown entered into a settlement deed with the group of iwi known as the Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau collective (the Collective).

  • Historic Overview - Pokeno & District
    WDC District Plan Review – Built Heritage Assessment Historic Overview - Pokeno & District Pokeno The fertile valley floor in the vicinity of Pokeno has most likely been occupied by Maori since the earliest days of their settlement of Aotearoa. Pokeno is geographically close to the Tamaki isthmus, the lower Waikato River and the Hauraki Plains, all areas densely occupied by Maori in pre-European times. Traditionally, iwi of Waikato have claimed ownership of the area. Prior to and following 1840, that iwi was Ngati Tamaoho, including the hapu of Te Akitai and Te Uri-a-Tapa. The town’s name derives from the Maori village of Pokino located north of the present town centre, which ceased to exist on the eve of General Cameron’s invasion of the Waikato in July 1863. In the early 1820s the area was repeatedly swept by Nga Puhi war parties under Hongi Hika, the first of several forces to move through the area during the inter-tribal wars of the 1820s and 1830s. It is likely that the hapu of Pokeno joined Ngati Tamaoho war parties that travelled north to attack Nga Puhi and other tribes.1 In 1822 Hongi Hika and a force of around 3000 warriors, many armed with muskets, made an epic journey south from the Bay of Islands into the Waikato. The journey involved the portage of large war waka across the Tamaki isthmus and between the Waiuku River and the headwaters of the Awaroa and hence into the Waikato River west of Pokeno. It is likely warriors from the Pokeno area were among Waikato people who felled large trees across the Awaroa River to slow Hika’s progress.

  • 'Be(Com)Ing' Ngāti Kahungunu in the Diaspora: Iwi Identity and Social
    ‘Be(com)ing’ Ngāti Kahungunu in the Diaspora: Iwi Identity and Social Organisation in Wellington Christina M. González A thesis submitted in fulfilment of a Master of Arts (MA) in Māori Studies Victoria University of Wellington Te Whare Wānanga o te Upoko o te Ika a Māui 2010 Abstract Ngāti Kahungunu is an ideal example to investigate the processes of identity management and socio-political representation within and outside of their traditional tribal territory. It is the third most populous iwi in Aotearoa/New Zealand, with approximately 60,000 members, and boundaries that span from the Wairoa district down to the Wairarapa region. Kahungunu’s complexity and dynamism are not restricted to its territorial boundaries. A large portion of Kahungunu members form expatriate tribal communities located beyond their tribal district. The Wellington region hosts the largest number of Kahungunu members dwelling outside of their tribal territory, as well as the Ngāti Kahungunu Embassy. The Embassy is an organisation which, like many other expatriate Māori tribal bodies, faces the challenges of locating and reaching its tribal members to connect them to their Kahungunu home and heritage, while simultaneously representing their particular, Wellington-specific voices. This thesis explores the ways that Ngāti Kahungunu identities are articulated, maintained and transformed by individuals and institutions in Wellington today, by analysing qualitative interviews with ten Kahungunu men and women, and a case study on the Kahungunu Embassy. Three chapters on iwi identity, home and social organisation illustrate how Kahungunu voices in Wellington can more adequately be heard, and their experiences included, in the tribe, despite their apparent geographic and cultural distance.
