Ko te mea nui i roto i tenei whakahaere ko te whakatopu i te Iwi, kia kotahi ai te tinana me te whakaaro ki te rapu i nga tikanga e tupu ai te Iwi i runga i te pai i te rangatiratanga me te whai rawatanga. Kia whanui ai hoki te titiro ki runga ki nga tikanga katoa e ahu mai ana i nga taumata nunui o te motu. Ma te topu o te Iwi, ka mutu te ngaungau me te taututetute, katahi ka whanui te titiro ki nga tikanga katoa pa ana ki te iwi. Of prime importance in this arrangement is the amalgamation of the people, to be one in thought and deed, to find ways by which the Iwi can grow, can benefit [from that growth] with their rangatiratanga [intact], and can prosper. To be able also to see the breadth of opportunities in areas of national importance. Through the amalgamation of the Iwi, argument and dissension will cease, resulting in a breadth of vision in Iwi activities of benefit to the Iwi.

PŪRONGO TIAMANA CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Te ihi o te iwi Tihei Mauri Ora! Me wehi ki te Atua ko ia te tīmatanga, ko ia te whakamutunga o ngā mea katoa. Me whakahōnore tō tātou Kīngi Tuheitia, ko te whare Kāhui Ariki, me te wharenui o Potatau. Paimārire ki a rātou. Ki ngā tini Aitua, kua wehi ki te pō, haere, haere. No reira e ngā mate huhua, moe mai rā, ko rātou te hunga mate ki a rātou, tātou te hunga ora ki a tātou. Condolences and deepest sympathies to the many whānau who have lost loved ones over the past year. Moe mai rā i roto i ngā ringaringa o te Atua. Haere rātou ki a rātou, tātou ki a tātou. Paimārire. The annual rhythm of tribal events has maintained its flow again this year. I acknowledge the many hands and hearts that, year in and year out, enable us to share in these events which not only reflect our rich history but contribute to it and make it richer. Events such as poukai, Whikoi mo te Reo, Koroneihana, primary schools kapapahaka, secondary school kapahaka and Te Nehenehenui Tribal Festival. During the year we also celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Te Kawau Māro o Maniapoto Festival. This biennial event continues to bring a large number of our people back home and re-connect whānau living at home and afar. A special part of the festival this year was the launch of Te Rautaki Reo a Te Nehenehenui (Maniapoto Reo Strategy) by Maniapoto FM, who are now the kaitiaki of this strategy. They have done a terrific job in re-packaging the strategy and I look forward to the refresh in 2017 being undertaken by our Tainui representative on Te Mataawai, Pania Papa.

I would like to thank the Festival organising committee and all of the volunteers who continue to make the Festival the success it has been. The Board has been focussed on moving several key matters forward over the last year. Firstly there was the #Maniapoto 2050 Iwi Aspirations Hui series we held in late 2015. Hearing the aspirations of whānau, marae, hapu and Iwi was heartening and assisted greatly in the Board determining its priorities for the coming years and its mission as a facilitator and enabler connecting Maniapoto with opportunity. We also took the opportunity to connect education, social services and health sector key stakeholders with the Maniapoto 2050 aspirations mahi which proved to be worthwhile in terms of us all looking at what we can achieve together. One opportunity in particular that the Board moved on was to progress the Maniapoto Treaty Settlement. In September 2016, this work culminated in the Board deciding to seek the support of te iwi o Maniapoto me ona hapū maha to receive mandate to negotiate the tribe’s outstanding historical Treaty of Waitangi Claims. We had an
PŪRONGO TIAMANA
opportunity to get the settlement process moving again and bring our people together to achieve the best possible outcome for our people. In order to do this, we held a series of 11 mandate information hui throughout the motu to inform iwi members of the process. The Board and I appreciated the attendance of all those that took part in these hui. I would like to particularly thank those kaumātua that joined with us during the series of mandate hui. The Crown’s treaty settlement process can be divisive so working together with all of Maniapoto is key. Time and time again our tūpuna have reminded us of the importance of kotahitanga. We see it in Maniapoto’s whakatauki: A muri kia mau, kia mau ki tena, kia mau ki te kawau maro We see it in the 1904 Te Kawenata o Ngāti Maniapoto me ona hapu maha. Now that the Maniapoto settlement process has moved past the mandating phase we are now in the negotiation phase. The Board has appointed the negotiation team of Nanaia Mahuta, Peter Douglas and Mook Hohneck with Nanaia being
the lead negotiator. The next milestone will be the achievement of an agreement of principle which we have targeted for August 2017. There are exciting times ahead and I encourage us all to “Whakatata Mai” – come close, keep connected and get involved. There is also the opportunity to look higher and beyond the Treaty Settlement process and to a time when the Maniapoto Maori Board is no more and a new “whare” has been constructed to progress our tribal aspirations. What this will look like I do not know. What I do know is that in order to meet the aspirations of our people it will need to be reflective of our people and have the support of our people. Other Board workstreams have also made some great progress. The launch of the Maniapoto Environmental Plan along with our first searchable APP and video, Maniapoto Upper Waipā River Fisheries Report, Maniapoto Waipā River CleanUp Priorities Report and the Ngā Aho Rangahau o Maniapoto – Threads of Research publications were all launched during the year. These documents are currently all in progression with the aim of improving te taiao o Maniapoto and economic development opportunities for our people and environment.

The rohe boundaries are Raukumara in the north to Waipingao Stream and Taumarunui in the south and the Wharepuhunga and Hauhungaroa ranges in the east. The western boundary is 20 miles out to sea, as per the 1883 Wahanui petition. This map is indicative rather than definitive, and is the map that the Maniapoto Māori Trust Board uses as a reference for its mahi. 10
The rohe covers approximately 800,000 hectares which is 3% of Aotearoa. Within the rohe there are 1531 Māori land blocks that collectively cover an area of approximately 80,000 hectares - 10% of the rohe.

TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIPS
TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIPS SISTER GRACE SCHOLARSHIP In 2005 after the passing of Sister Grace Margaret Clement, the MMTB was bequeathed a portion of her estate to support Maniapoto iwi educational aspirations. The Sister Grace Scholarship was established to honour that bequest.
Ella Golding (Rereahu, Te Ihingarangi), was the successful recipient of the 2015-16 Sister Grace Scholarship ($5000). Ella started her journey in completing a Bachelor of Teaching at the Univeristy of Waikato this year, with a strong belief on the importance of education for and within Maniapoto.
“
If I have the opportunity to work with a child from (Maniapoto) I would love to guide them in finding out more about their Māori culture and help them work to the best of their ability in all areas of the curriculum states Ella.
”
Ella aspires to be the type of teacher who inspires and can make an impact on young childrens’ live, and also acknowledges the key role that whānau and extended whānau play in helping to nurture each child as they grow up.
“
Education is important for the tamariki of Maniapoto as we would all want them to meet the needs of our kaumātua still standing, in the hope that they can fill their shoes believes Ella.
”
Sister Grace Scholarship has distributed $25,000 since inception. 26
TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIPS
GRAYMONT (NZ) LIMITED SCHOLARSHIP This year, MMTB was privileged to be able to continue to provide four Graymont (NZ) Limited Scholarships. These scholarships are each worth a total of $1000 and offered to students studying within the field of environmental studies at an undergraduate teritary level. Shakyra Te Aho (Ngāti Rereahu) was one of the recipients to receive this scholarship and is currently studying a Bachelor of Science (Technology) at the University of Waikato. Growing up in Pureora forest with her koro, gave her constant exposure to the ngahere and all that it can offer to the people.
“
I knew at a very young age that I wanted to make a change to the whenua. With the knowledge I have and will continue to gain through both earth and environmental sciences studies, I aim to become a ranger for the Department of Conservation in the Maniapoto rohe so I can help restore both bird and plant life says Shakyra.
”
Another scholarship recipient, Waiarini Edwards (Ngāti Mahuta), is also completing a Bachelor of Science at the University of Waikato with a passion for the environment.
“ “
Gaining in depth knowledge from a science perspective and incorporating it with the tikanga and kawa that our tūpuna have practiced for many years is my main goal states Waiarini. As a child who was born and bred in and around the sea, I would love to preserve all of Ngāti Mahuta and Ngāti Maniapoto moana, and gain the nutritious food that our tūpuna lived off for many years.
”
” 27
TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIPS
Ngawaitoitoi Takiari (Ngāti Takiari, Ngāti Te Waha), scholarship recipient, strongly believes in our responsibilties, as kaitiaki to protect our environs and ensure the mana and mauri of Maniapoto is upheld.
“
It’s our responsibility to our future generations, to ensure that they will have the freedom to swim and fish in the rivers, plant, grow and eat from the whenua and have the benefit of learning Maniapoto history because of our protection of our resources and wāhi tapu believes Ngawaitoitoi.
”
Hariata White (Ngāti Apakura) is also completing her Bachelor of Sciences and like Shakyra, has had a passion for the environment since she was a young girl, helping her Nana with her maara kai. The idea of preserving te taiao for future generations inspires and motivates her learn as much as she can about the earth.
“
Being Māori, our awa, maunga, whenua, coast, flora and fauna are a part of who we are and is a crucial part to our identity. Tangata whenua ‘people of the land’ signifies the importance of the environment of Māori identity. I believe that it is our responsibility that we be a part of the resotration of our waters and land says Hariata.
