Despite all of these challenges the celebration event staged at the end of the year still managed to equal the success and excitement of those events held in the past. The list of Maori Sporting Achievers continues to grow and those receiving scholarships include a list of young Maori sporting talent that augurs well for the future. The contribution of Maori Television and the professionalism of its presenters and support staff meant that the event was shared by those who had the privilege of attending, with the general public. It meant that the images of our successful sporting men and women reached many whanau who, hopefully, would be inspired by their achievements. Lisa Carrington, Rieko & Akira Ioane, Shannon McIlroy, Lewis Clareburt, Sam Gaze, Portia Woodman and Sarah Goss. The Trustees owe a debt of gratitude to all of our sponsors, a number of whom have been supporters of our Trust since day one. We are exceedingly grateful for your continued support. To my fellow Board members it is indeed a privilege working alongside you to ensure that the vision of the founders of our Trust “ The Celebration of Maori Excellence in Sport” is achieved. Nga mihi tino nui ki a koutou katoa.

Tane the bringer of daylight, the fountain of life to all living things, Tane the beginning, Tane the source of knowledge, Tane who discovered Te Ira Tangata and created the ongoing generations of mankind. It was Tane also who committed the first sin and right until this time has caused the imbalance between man and woman. The greatest sportsman has to be called the Son of Tane, it is that person who manifests excellence in the male being. Sam GAZE MOUNTAIN BIKE Te Atiawa Presented by Simon Jones, received by Sarah Gaze (Mother) Hineahuone Senior Māori Sportswoman Hineahuone When Tane began life for all living thing he searched in vain for a way to perpetuate life in his form. He was sent by the spiritual beings to a place called Kurawaka where the soil was red and fertile. From Papatuanuku’s loins he fashioned in the earth the form of a woman and he breathed life into her – she was first human being – she was Hineahuone, Hine who comes from the Earth. Tane mated with her and begat Hinetitama. Hineahuone is acknowledged as the ultimate human eponymous ancestor for all genealogies, she is the spring of humankind or the ultimate woman. It is for this reason that the Māori Sportswoman should be named in the spirit of an illustrious beginning, she is truly ultimate. Lisa Carrington CANOE RACING Te Aitanga ā Māhaki, Ngāti Porou Presented by David Thomas received by Gordon Walker (Coach) 10 Te Tama-ā-Ranginui Junior Māori Sportsman Te Tama-ā-Ranginui Ranginui was the Sky Father who was separated from the Earth Mother – Papatuanuku by Tane who was to be their greatest son. Ranginui symbolises the male line and even Tane was later to be renamed great Tane of Rangi. Ranginui is the Maori symbol for the beginning and together with Papatuanuku they are the Maori genesis. Even today Papatuanuku is acknowledged on all occasions when Maori gather, she is the mother, she fees life into all living things, plant and animal, there is no beginning beyond the Earth Mother. It is appropriate that the junior sportspersons both boy and girl should carry of Ranginui and Papatuanuku. They are the seeds from which men and women grow. Lewis CLAREBURT SWIMMING Waikato, Tainui Presented by Mark Henry, Te Tamahine-ā-Papatuānuku Junior Māori Sportswoman Te Tamāhine-ā- Papatūānuku It is appropriate that the junior sportswomen should carry the strengths of Papatūānuku. Even today Papatūānuku is acknowledged on all occasions when Māori gather. They are the seeds from which men and women grow. Ranginui was the Sky Father who was separated from the Earth Mother – Papatuanuku by Tane who was to be their greatest son. Ranginui symbolises the male line and even Tane was later to be renamed great Tane of Rangi. Ranginui is the Maori symbol for the beginning and together with Papatuanuku they are the Maori genesis. Even today Papatuanuku is acknowledged on all occasions when Maori gather, she is the mother, she fees life into all living things, plant and animal, there is no beginning beyond the Earth Mother.
