Nā te Kaiwhakahaere

Rārangi tāngata ka mate, rārangi maunga tū tonu. Aoraki matatū, Aoraki mataora. E takahi noa ana i te ara o maumahara. E eke noa ana i te ara o Poutama. Waiho kia pakaru rawa te ūpoko. Mā te Taurahere kōrero, Taurahere tāngata, Mā te Taurahere tāngata, taukaea aroha. Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei. Whano, whano, tū mai te toki, Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e ! Welcome to the April edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka. I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend and was able to spend some time with whānau. I spent the weekend on the West Coast and it was great to get outside and experience Te Ao Tūroa as we farewell the warmer summer nights. Since my last pānui, we saw the launch of an exciting report on inequalities affecting Māori. The report, jointly produced by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, BERL and Tokona Te Raki (The Maori Futures Collective) was led by our own Dr Eruera Tarena and released in Parliament by Employment Minister Willie Jackson. The report found that, if inequalities in education, employment and income for Māori are reduced there would be an annual boost of $2.6 billion to the national economy. In my speech at the launch, I reiterated that the report identifies challenges we must meet for the benefit of all Māori whānau. Ngāi Tahu are committed to working with government and all partners to eliminate the systemic inequalities Māori face today.

We are committed to creating a vibrant and equitable future where Māori success will benefit all New Zealanders. While in Wellington, we also met with Minister Megan Woods to discuss the Canterbury and Kaikōura rebuilds and EQC repairs. The Minister reiterated the important role Ngāi Tahu has in the regeneration of both quake-affected areas. We will continue to build and strengthen relationships with Ministers to enhance the opportunity and potential for our Ngāi Tahu whānau. Earlier this month, I was honoured to be appointed Deputy Chair for the Ministerial Climate Change working group. This is a very important kaupapa for Ngāi Tahu and it is wonderful to be able to play a major part in influencing decision making on such an important kaupapa for Māori, today and for future generations. I was also honoured to meet with former president of the United States Barack Obama during his visit to Aotearoa. I met with him at a breakfast in Auckland as part of an invitation to the Wahine Toa network, which has been involved with the Obama Foundation. It was humbling to hear Obama speak and to briefly share our aspirations for our whānau and people. In March, a small group including kaumatua Tā Tipene O’Regan, our Chief Executive Officer Arihia Bennett and I met with Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy to discuss the involvement of the Governor General with the annual Ngāi Tahu Waitangi Day celebration. Dame Patsy is keen to create a formalised arrangement for this engagement which I will keep you updated on as these discussions progress. As I have previously communicated, Te Rūnanga are also undertaking a Form and Function review. I want to thank whānau who have already provided their feedback.

I encourage all others to share their views here – www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/ te-runanga-o-ngai-tahu/ngai-tahugovernance/form-and-functionreview/ This is very important mahi to review, refine and enhance our current governance structures and processes to help support best governance practice and performance for Te Rūnanga over the next 20 years, I want this process to be informed by as many whānau voices as possible, so please spread the word! We'll be holding regional hui so whānau can learn more about the kaupapa of the review and have their say - find out more about these hui on p. 39. These hui are part of the 2018 Ngāi Tahu Road Shows, which begin this month. We are holding eight Road Shows, including two wānanga, throughout Te Ika-a-Māui and Australia from April to September. The themes for our 2018 Road Shows are: • • • •

Strengthening the ties to Ngai Tahu Whānau through Taurahere rōpū Kanohi ki te kanohi engagement Enhancing opportunities for whānau Haea te Awa (distribution)

The Road Shows are a wonderful opportunity for our whānau to come together and to hear directly of the wonderful work being done by our people for our people. More information on the Road Show dates and locations, and a link to pre-register can be found within this edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka. Have a great month whānau and I hope to see many of you at our upcoming Road Shows!

If you live in the Ngāi Tahu takiwā we’ll arrange to visit you if possible. If you live outside the Ngāi Tahu takiwā we can assist you over the phone or via a video call.

Read what other whānau have to say about why they took part and their advice if you haven’t yet done yours. Madison Simons, Ōtautahi (Christchurch) "As a young person I think it is really important for younger people’s opinions to be voiced, heard and acted on. We’re the next generation coming through so Ngāi Tahu need to know what we’re up to and how they can support us.

Alan McKenzie, Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) “I thought it was fantastic to see Ngāi Tahu wanting to understand our thoughts so that how they plan to spend the pūtea can include what matters to us. Just do it! Trust that it’s anonymous and know that you’re contributing to something that’s going to help Te Rūnanga make good decisions with our feedback.”

Just go and do it! It's super simple and super fast. It isn’t a lot for someone to do considering how valuable the information is to Ngāi Tahu. This data is going to determine future decisions for our generation so wouldn’t you want a say in that?"

Ko te rika toi i whakamanahia What is ‘Ko te rika toi i whakamanahia ai’?

This headline simply translates to reference ‘The cover artist’. This is a small section of Te Pānui Rūnaka where we are able to acknowledge and thank the artist who kindly offers their artwork for the cover each month. We hope you can gain some insight into the artwork depicted on the front page and into the life of the person who created this beautiful piece. If you want to know more about this artist or contribute your own artwork, contact Te Pānui Rūnaka editor Arielle Monk: tpr@ngāitahu.iwi.nz Our cover artist this month is Sean McCarthy, an Auckland-based Ngāi Tahu artist. We first featured Sean’s beautiful work many years ago and he recently got in touch again to share Moana Lisa. The painting is based on the famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. Sean says he painted the large-scale oil portrait with the intention to put his own twist on the classic, giving it a “distinctly New Zealand theme”. “I wanted in some way to acknowledge important historical artists Goldie and Lindauer, who painted famous portraits of Māori in a classical European style. ‘Moana Lisa’ pays homage to a classic European artwork… A beautiful portrait on one level and an artistic study/depiction of biculturalism on another level.”

Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura Congratulations

Jamie Harris of Nelson has done extremely well with her rowing lately. As a student of Wanganui Collegiate College she has participated in four final races, coming third in the Coxless Pair, fifth in the Double Sculls, fifth in the Quadruple Sculls and ninth in the Coxless 8s in the B Final. Photos were taken on the podium as part of her team, receiving medals, before having photos with whānau, including grandparents Henry and Jan from Kaikōura. What a great day of celebration in Twizel! Jamie has a bright future in rowing; she is a dedicated and focused young woman with a lot of determination. Ka eke ki te taumata, hai kanohi mō Aotearoa ā tōna wā. As a whānau, we wish her well in her achievements. Nā, Moana Gemmell.

He wā anō whakamahia ai tēnei hei whakamihi i tētahi āhuatanga. Congratulations Zion Meihana-Whittle for your huge accomplishment in being accepted into Te Pōkai Ao – Silicon Valley. In July 2018, a group of Ngāi Tahu rangatahi (youth) will go to Silicon Valley, San Francisco, USA to engage with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Rangatahi will take part in design workshops and meet leaders from companies like Google and Facebook. This incredible opportunity is open to all Ngāi Tahu rangatahi in years 9 and 10, and is targeted at creative thinkers, leaders and, most importantly, rangatahi with open minds who are willing to learn from new experiences. We look forward to hearing all about your haerenga on your return but in the meantime, karawhiua Zion! Zion (right), with brother Jamie and sister El-Alamein.

Aoraki Bound - February 2018 Nā, Ariana Stevens.

Tēnā koutou, In February this year I was privileged to be involved in Aoraki Bound – 20 days learning about who we are as Ngāi Tahu, where we come from, what makes us unique, and what part I/we can play in the future of our iwi. It was an intense journey, and one I was able to successfully complete with the love and support of my new whānau – Kupe 638, as well as the support from my own whānau at home who made sure the kids, cats and house were all good while I was away.

E rere kau nei ngā mihi ki ngā pito o Te Waka o Aoraki, tēnā tātou katoa. Nei a Poutini e mihi ana ki ngā kaitautoko o te kaupapa o Aoraki Bound. Ki a Iaean rāua ko Craig i te whakaaro rangātira ki te whakatū i tēnei kaupapa nui whakaharahara mō tō tātou iwi - mei kore ake kōrua. Ki ngā kaimahi ki roto i te tari o Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu e whakapeto ngoi ana kia whanake tonu ai te kaupapa - tēnā kōrua. Ki ngā kaimahi o Outward Bound me tā rātou āta tiaki i ngā rōpū, i ngā tāngata, otirā i te kaupapa - tēnā koutou. Ka mihi hoki ki ngā kaiārahi Ngāi Tahu e mahi ngātahi ana ki ngā kaimahi o Outward Bound, ki a Tiaki kōrua ko Sampson. Ehara i te mahi māmā ki te wehe i te whānau, i te kāinga mō ngā wiki e toru (neke atu!) ia te tau. Heoi, ka pērā kōrua kia haumaru te haere o ngā tira. Tēnā rawa atu kōrua, otirā tēnā koutou ko ō kōrua whānau. Ā, ka whakamānawa atu au ki ngā haukāinga i Arahura, i Arowhenua, i Waihao hoki. I rangātira ō koutou marae i a koutou me tā koutou manaaki mai i a mātou.

Yup, it was hard. Yup, my body hurt and I was tired. And yup, I’d do it all again in a heartbeat for the lessons we learned, the people we met, the beauty we saw, the obstacles we conquered. If you are even a little bit interested being part of Aoraki Bound in the future, do it. Get your application in, suss someone to feed the cats and the kids, and jump in. Mā te wā.

A massive mihi to those who support Aoraki Bound. To Iaean and Craig for the visionary idea to establish this kaupapa; to the kaimahi working within the office who work tirelessly to ensure the kaupapa thrives; to the staff at Outward Bound for their care of the groups, the people and the kaupapa; to our amazing Ngāi Tahu guides who are away from their homes and whānau for 3+ weeks each year to ensure those who participate in Aoraki Bound are safe. I mihi also to their whānau for the support from home – the presence of Tiaki and Sampson on course makes a huge difference for participants. Final mihi to the hau kāinga who greeted us so warmly at Arahura, Arowhenua and Waihao – your care towards us meant so much.

Kokatahi – Kōwhitirangi School marae visit

On 22 March, Arahura Marae had the pleasure of hosting Kokatahi-Kōwhitirangi School. The tamariki and kaiako were able to learn more about Ngāti Waewae and Arahura Marae. It was an enjoyable day hosting this kura.

Newly appointed CE of Westland District Council On 27 March, Ngāti Waewae welcomed the newly appointed CE of Westland District Council, Simon Bastion and council staff members onto the marae.

Rūnanga business

Rūnanga hui are every second Sunday of the month at 11am on the marae.

Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio Kāi Tahu whānui, tēnā koutou katoa! Nei anō te mihi aroha o Kāti Māhaki ki a koutou katoa. Nei hoki te mihi poroporoaki ki kā tini mate kua hika mai, kua hika atu. Ki a rātou katoa i hīkoi atu ki tua o te ārai haere, haere, haere atu rā. Moe mai koutou i te rakimārie.

Rātou ki a rātou, tātou anō ki a tātou. Tēnā anō tātou katoa! As the weather starts to cool down and with daylight savings finished, we have noticed the fires are starting to burn in Hokitika.

Mahuika reunion of the brothers and sis-stars

Over Easter weekend the Mahuika whānau of David and Thelma travelled from Australia, Rotorua, Invercargill and Greymouth to hold a get-together in Hokitika. There were extravagant dinners, a champagne brunch, a game of Family Feud, darts, trips to the old homestead at Nelson Creek, a quick nip into the Nelson Creek pub and a visit to those who are no longer with us. It was a fabulous few days of the whānau coming together, reminiscing and enjoying each other’s company.

Busy at the marae

Over the past month, we’ve been very busy hosting at Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae in Mahitahi (Bruce Bay). It’s always good to travel down the bay and enjoy the atmosphere there. Whether it be a stunning blue sky day (with namu namu) or pouring rain (with namu namu), it’s always a pleasure to be at the marae and doing the mahi. Ngāi Tahu Tourism Board were a pleasure to host at Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae last month, It’s always good to have faces that go with the names.

Our March rūnakanui hui at the marae was a full on two-day event, which included a presentation from Civil Defence about having a marae emergency preparedness plan. Our man Robyn made an absolutely delicious boil up – this was also enjoyed for breakfast the next day and some took leftovers home too!

Secondary school grants 2018

Komiti Mātauraka would like to thank Kāti Māhaki Ki Makaawhio Ltd and Te Rūnaka o Makaawhio for making the Secondary School Grants possible. These grants were applied for at the start of the school year and have now been paid to all applicants.

Ekea kā Tiritiri o Te Moana - Ascend to the heights of your aspirations

In February, two Kāti Māhaki sisters picked up the Aoraki Bound challenge along with 10 other intrepid tauira. Aoraki Bound has some lofty goals and the 20day programme packs in some wicked cultural and physical challenges. Add to that two cyclones – Cyclone Fehi and Cyclone Gita – that meant a planned trek to Nōti Raureka (Browning Pass) was abandoned and the planned final night camping by Aoraki was swapped out for a night in the warm embrace of Waihao Marae near Waimate.

With Makaawhio being the kāika closest to Aoraki and with mountaineering blood in our veins, going on Aoraki Bound is a great challenge for our members to aspire to. Aoraki Bound is a programme for all ages, male and female. The only requirement is that you’re fit enough (must run 3.2 kilometres in under 20 minutes) and you’re up for the cultural challenges that include mihimihi, waiata, whaikōrero and karanga. If you are interested in applying for February or March 2019, check out this link: http://Ngāitahu.iwi.nz/ whānau/aoraki-bound/

April pānui

But the trouble is you eat too much, which I love to do too, and of course, the caterers put on such lovely kai. Thanks to Hoana Burgman and her merry whānau and offsider daughter-in-law. Ha, ha, ha.

Well, here we are again with not much news, but condolences to all who have lost loved ones. Yes it has also been a sad month for Tuahiwi but as the saying goes, chin up! Be happy as we can’t stop these happenings.

Well do you know Cuz Charlie, I was told I take up too much space in the Te Pānui Rūnaka so I just told them politely “Get Stuffed”. But then they ask me: ‘could I put this or that in the pānui?’ but no! They can do their own.

As usual, Tuahiwi has been very, very busy in the month of March. Hui every week without a stop; as a matter of fact, the hui have been double dipping. Just as well the marae can hold everyone. But I love it. Get to meet all sorts of people, from far and wide, including from countries like Canada, Germany, China, Chile and of course, more Māori.

Well must away to the pokies now, so cheers ‘til next time. Love you all, K.K.K.

Tuahiwi Marae trustee hui

Wairewa Rūnanga Introducing the Wairewa Whānau Ora Portfolio Nā, Kelly Barry Kia ora Wairewa whānau, I hope you have all had a great start to 2018!

We have some exciting things lined up for whānau this year and we want you to be involved in what we are doing. See below for how you can be a part of the future of Wairewa!

As of October last year, Jaleesa Panirau and I became members of the Wairewa Executive Committee. As part of our roles on the committee, we have established the Wairewa Whānau Ora Portfolio. This is exciting for us and for you! We’re looking forward to doing the mahi for our whānau and will be working hard this year to make sure we are providing opportunities for Wairewa whānui. We want to make sure you all know about these opportunities and have access to them, as well as the opportunities Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu is able to offer us all. The first thing we have focused on is social distribution to support whānau with education and health. Distribution basically means the way in which rūnanga money is spent – and our portfolio means we distribute directly to you through a range of whānau-focused grants! We now have four grants available for our registered members: • • • •

School Uniform Grant Higher Education Grant Kaumātua Health Grant Aoraki Bound Grant

These grants are available now. For all application forms and enquiries please email us at: wairewawhanauora@ngaitahu.iwi.nz

Kelly Barry and Jaleesa Panirua.

Wairewa Whānau Ora wānanga

Check out the dates below to see if you can come along to any of our upcoming wānanga; if you can’t be there, but would like to make a suggestion, contact us on the email address below.

The Wairewa Whānau Ora portfolio has been established to support whānau wellbeing. In order for us to provide the best support and outcomes for Wairewa whānau, we need to hear your voice and know what you need help with.

Saturday, 28 April 10am - 12pm at Wairewa Marae

We want to hear your ideas and understand your whānau needs, so we can put the right support in place where possible. There’s no point in us setting up something that doesn’t help you – right? We’ve already had a suggestion around the importance of swimming lessons for our tamariki, and that some whānau may not be able to afford these. We think this is a brilliant idea and will be looking into how we may be able to help in the future – these are the kinds of things we want to know about whānau!

Saturday, 19 May 10am - 12pm at Wairewa Marae

Are your contact details up to date?

So we can let you know about support and opportunities at Wairewa Rūnanga, we need to make sure we have the most up to date contact details for you.

We can’t promise that we can make every idea or request happen but we will do our best to meet the needs of all whānau.

Don't miss out! Let us know the best way to contact you email us on wairewawhanauora@ngaitahu.iwi.nz 13

Thank you Ngāi Tahu

Nā, Rebecca Rissetto. I am a proud Wairewa wahine, daughter of Te Orewa (Olly) Hine Wanoa (née Robinson) and live in Auckland, although I was born in Ōtautahi. I would like to thank Ngāi Tahu for supporting my husband Ringo Rissetto, (also from Ngāi Tahu but from the Bluff), and our daughter Erana Foster, along with our three mokopuna, Virginia Rissetto, Rainbow Rissetto and Ruby Foster. Each of them have received support and funding through various Ngāi Tahu channels over the years. When I watched my daughter and husband graduate together, each with their Bachelor of Education, it was a proud moment for our whānau. After three years of hard mahi, they made it – the tribe has inspired many of us Ngāi Tahu to follow our dreams. I wanted to thank you all in the Office for the support you’ve shown my whānau throughout their years of study and particularly for the education grants for my mokopuna. These grants have helped them to become more confident and capable, to strive for success – for that I will always be truly grateful and proud of my iwi – Ngāi Tahu!

Te Taumutu Rūnanga Waikēkēwai Streambank Realignment

This project will contribute to the wider restoration efforts of the Te Waihora catchment and the existing riparian planting that has occurred along the banks of Waikēkēwai Creek.

In Ngāi Tahu history, it was Rākaihautū and his son Rokohouia who first landed the Uruao waka in Nelson. While Rokohouia travelled the coastline of the South Island, Rākaihautu traversed the centre of the island using his digging stick, Tuwhakaroria, to dig the many lakes and rivers throughout the island. Te Waihora (Lake Ellesmere) and Wairewa (Lake Forsyth) were the two main lakes he dug in our immediate vicinity.

The rūnanga obtained the appropriate permits from the Selwyn District Council, Environment Canterbury (ECan) and Heritage NZ to undertake these works. The proposal will ultimately increase the ecological habitat, mahinga kai and landscape values of the area by enhancing the current habitat features and providing habitat for tuna and whitebait.

In the 17th century, Te Ruahikihiki settled on the southern shores of Te Waihora. After hearing news of the abundance of food available in the lake and surrounds, Te Ruahikihiki and his son, Moki (often referred to as Moki II), relocated from the Akaroa Harbour to Taumutu. Te Ruahikihiki built his pā on the site now known as Ōrariki.

In addition to native riparian plantings, enhancing the aquatic habitat for tuna and other native species, may include the construction of eel houses and/or the placement of logs in the bed of Waikēkēwai.

Today the site is home to the Hone Wetere Church and urupā. The original mounded ramparts are still visible. His son, Moki II established his pā nearby at the site now known as Ngāti Moki Marae.

There is still a lot of work to be done such as: sediment removal, riprap, filter cloth, and a stone channel bed to be installed along the toe of the banks and in the bed of Waikēkēwai. Screens will be used on any pipe and pumps, to prevent fish from accessing. As sediment is removed, it will be checked to ensure that no fish species (e.g. tuna) are stranded and any specimens found will be returned to the waterway.

The whānau of Te Ruahikihiki proposes to enhance and restore the banks and bed of Waikēkēwai Creek within the Ngāti Moki Marae site and redesign the vehicle access to the marae kitchen.

To support these works, Te Taumutu is applying for funds to Tuia (ECan) to purchase native, eco-sourced riparian plants for use on the banks of Waikēkēwai within the marae grounds, once these earthworks are completed.

This development is being guided by Te Waikēkēwai Stream Restoration and Rehabilitation Report, a report prepared for Te Whakaora Te Waihora and Te Taumutu Rūnanga.

Congratulations to Aporini (Arpo) Deer and Rebecca Staples on the birth of their son ‘Roriik Tahumataa Deer’ on 11 February, weighing a very healthy 7lb.

Return of Taonga

On 27 January Koukourārata welcomed Jude Wales to the marae, to return a greenstone chisel found on the beach at Koukourārata. This is her story… ‘How would I have ever known that at the age of seven, finding that lovely, dark shiny stone, would lead me here on an amazing journey to meet you all today. As a family, we were very fortunate to spend many summer holidays in Port Levy. We usually stayed in the bach to the right of the wharf. Dad was a great sailor and we would have P classes and dinghy to play with out in the bay, and I loved going around the island as I was fascinated by the King Shags.

Roriik Tahumataa Deer.

About a year ago, I started feeling that it was time for the taonga to go home. I had no idea how but finally I googled the right place in Wellington and they put me through to the office manager at Koukourārata (Marion Crofts). I told her my story and we were both excited. I had goose bumps all over my body and tears in my eyes. I had found the home for the taonga.

One day, we were out on the stone beach to the right of the wharf crab hunting, when I saw this smooth stone that was a beautiful dark green colour. I was so excited that I ran back to the bach to show my parents who told me it was greenstone and that the local Māori used it as a chisel. I’m not sure why I was chosen at such an age to be the ‘caretaker’ of the taonga. I always knew from a young age it was special and I had to keep it safe.

Today is one of the most spiritual journeys I have been on in my life. I know my father is here in spirit and hopefully his mum (Miriam), as well. My father will also be amazed at the journey of the ‘shiny, dark green stone’. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me here today and the taonga. I now know that the taonga is safe and finally back home. Today is one of the best days I have had in my life and I thank you all so much.”

The taonga has been in my jewelry box for over 40 years and I have always cherished it. When I was in my early 20s I found out that my grandmother (who I sadly didn’t know), was Ngāi Tahu and her great-grandfather was Hemi Pōtiki from the Waikato. When I found this out, the taonga was even more important to me and I embraced knowing that I was part Māori and from Ngāi Tahu.

*Jude has now began a journey of reconnection to her own whakapapa.

Te Rūnanga o Arowhenua Congratulations

Lieutenant Keri Hayden is pictured here, surrounded by family and friends, celebrating the end of her secondment as Aide-de-Camp to the Governor General, Dame Patsy Reddy and Sir David Gasgoine. Keri is the daughter of Diana and Reg Hayden of Feilding and granddaughter of the late Joan and Stewart Manning. She joined the Royal New Zealand Navy from college and also has a Bachelor in Business Studies. Her next position is Aide-de-Camp to the Allied Forces Commander in the Middle East.

Mihi and congratulations

Kera believes that our tamariki have benefited by being part of this event. It was an opportunity for them to share their artistic abilities, their cultural, wairua and musical talents. They opened the event with a majestic message to all South Cantabrians from manawhenua that will resonate into the future.

Over the Easter break Te Rōpū Kapahaka o Tarahaoa were asked to open an amazing all weekend major hip hop event, held at the West End Hall in Timaru. Kera Baker approached Chantelle Litte, the organiser of the event, to see if she was interested in showcasing Arowhenua Marae, their tamariki and mokopuna, with a kapahaka performance at the event. Arowhenua tamariki also come equipped with other musical abilities and creative talents as an extension to kapahaka. This is another way of stepping into two artistic worlds.

With positive manaaki, nurturing and nourishment, our tamariki can achieve their dreams.

Te Rūnanga o Moeraki Congratulations

In December 2017, Duncan Roimata Coutts graduated with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Anatomy. Duncan excelled throughout the year in many of his subjects, especially bio-anthropology. He is now continuing on his education with a Post-graduate Diploma of Science in Neurology and is passionate about what medical research can do to advance the wellbeing of people. Originally he had intended to be a practicing medic but is now committed to being a medical researcher. Duncan is very grateful for the support the rūnanga have given him throughout his B.Sc course and looks forward to spending more time at the marae and with the wider whanau.

Congratulations anō

Kare Marion Tipa has graduated with a Masters of Māori Studies Degree from Te Whare Wananga o Awanui a Rangi. This is a huge achievement for anyone, but especially for Kare as a working mother. She has achieved this high education while caring for the health and wellbeing of Te Houkurareo with the support of whānau.

Duncan Roimata Coutts.

Reo champion

Te Houkurareo Matakaea Tipa Kare Tipa is the blessed mother of this wonderful boy, he is the youngest of her seven children.

It is the hope that he will be back next year learning and soaking up everything on our Kāi Tahu marae and hui.

As a descendent of Uenuku Marae, Te Houkurareo is raised with te reo Māori as his first language, ensuring his part in an intergenerational language strategy.

Its never too late to learn in our rich history, language and protocols; Kare and Te Houkurareo hope to meet you all at our reo hui next year. Karawhiua e hika mā, ehara i te tī! Seize the moment – you only live once!

Sadly, Te Houkurareo has not been able to attend recent Moeraki hui, Kura Reo Kāi Tahu, Kia Kūrapa and other Kotahi Mano Kāika language hui, due to his diagnosis of neuroblastoma cancer shortly before Christmas. These reo hui will help him to affirm his place on the marae and to learn and share in the responsibility of language transmission, tikanga marae and to live in his Kāi Tahutaka. His cancer treatment will see him travelling to Starship Hospital, living in Auckland and the Hawkes Bay for the rest of the year, in order for him to have the best chance to beat his cancer. This boy loves to go home and race around the marae with the senses and sounds of his tīpuna. Te Houkurareo Matakaea Tipa.

Well done

Kace Katerama Palmer Kean recently participated in the Otago-Southland Athletics in Murihiku. Kace achieved third in the 60 metre race, third in relay, fifth in the 200 metre race and fifth in discus. Kace also won two free tickets to the Ed Sheeran concert in Dunedin!

Hawaiian navigator visits Puketeraki

We are thankful to the whānau at Puketeraki Marae who welcomed our Hawaiian ope, and to Brendan Flack and his whānau for fostering this relationship and connection through their mahi and passion around Tangaroa and waka. Nā Chanel Phillips

On 3 April we had the privilege of welcoming master navigator and captain of Hokulea waka, Kalepa Babayan, his boss and her whānau onto Puketeraki Marae. Kalepa is currently the Navigator in Residence at the Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii. He spoke about his passion for celestial and traditional navigation, wayfinding and ocean voyaging, and shared his story about the Te Mana o te Moana voyage where their fleet sailed around the world and the learnings he took from this and other voyages. He encouraged us to think about how we may empower our young people, and how for him this is done through teaching navigation. Kalepa spoke about the heavy responsibility of a navigator on the waka, and how you need to be grounded in who you are, and confident in what you are doing. He reminded us that we must build strong leaders in our communities; like navigators, who are knowledgeable and confident to get their waka to where it needs to go.

Whānau contributions

For the first time in more than 50 years, descendants of Taare Wetere Te Kaahu, Pirihira Kuku, Teone Te Ururaki and Pani Wera gathered together at Ōtākou Marae for a weekend of whanaukataka, whakapapa and fun!

meet our Wesley whanauka. Waiata, haka and general Wesley hilarity followed and kept us all up til late in the evening. Sunday morning, we unveiled a pou dedicated to our four tūpuna with a moving ceremony complete with Te Kaahu circling in the clouds above us.

Mihi whakatau started off our weekend on Friday morning, followed by whakapapa with Tahu Potiki in the afternoon.

We cannot have a reunion at Easter without chocolate, so an Easter egg hunt on Sunday was just the thing and thoroughly enjoyed by the tamariki.

Saturday was a busy day with Nyssa Mildwaters from Otago Museum coming out to talk about how to look after and preserve our whānau taoka.

After lunch, a heke to the site of the old Te Kaahu whare for tree planting where we planted 100 native trees in just under two hours, Wesley efficiency at its best! He rau ringa, e oti ai!

In the afternoon, we braved the Ed Sheeran crowds and drove into town for a visit to Otago Museum. Rachel Wesley (Curator Māori) hosted a private viewing of our whānau taoka currently on loan. Words cannot convey how special it was to see and touch the taoka that our tūpuna handled.

Kā tamariki, of course preferred the rides on the quad bike rather than digging the holes for the trees! Our whānau wānaka was so important to connect our tamariki and meet whanauka to ensure the continuation of our whānau stories – we are already planning for the next one.

Hāngī for dinner on Saturday night; all the whānau pitched in with the mahi and boy was it yummy! While some helped peel spuds (a marae stay must!) and work the hāngī pit, others headed down to the whānau cockle beds. Some of our local Ōtākou cousins popped in to

Ngā Murihiku rūnanga are conducting research to develop a Murihiku Cultural Water Classification System. This will be a framework that will assist with their freshwater management needs and aspirations.

We will provide transport, accommodation, kai and some koha for your time. It will be a time of whakawhanaungatanga, fun, gathering and sharing mātauranga and being able to visit sites of our tūpuna, as well as looking at opportunities for our future generations.

The pilot study area is at sites along the Te Ara Koroka (Dart/Slipstream pounamu trail) from the coastal areas of Riverton/Aparima to the Lower and Mid Waiau River, Manapōuri, Te Anau and Mavora Lakes, to Glenorchy and the Dart River. We are collecting data on waters of particular cultural uses, including Wai Tuna, Wai Pounamu and Wai Noho with a specially designed monitoring programme.

The final hīkoi in this series is to happen in May. Please register your interest for the hīkoi to Stevie Blair at Te Ao Mārama on stevie@tami.maori or 03 931 1242 or Dr Jane Kitson on jane@kitsonconsulting.co.nz or 027 524 7864.

One of the most important elements of any cultural monitoring programme is having whānau conducting the monitoring! It doesn’t matter how young or old you are, or if you have conducted such monitoring before.

Kermadec Voyage 2018 – a blog post

Nā Lucy Coulston. 0650 “Wakey, wakey, wakey!” By 0730, I had managed (in a slightly frantic state) to make my way down to the starboard RHIB (Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat) where Emma and Lizzy, a marine

biologist and a PhD student, William Pike and a Navy coxswain and bowman were waiting to leave for Denham Bay. It wasn’t until 0830 we were being very safely lowered out to a flat calm sea. That’s for the mothers – for everyone else, we were dangling off the side of a 28

131m NZ Royal Navy ship with 20 knot winds and into a two metre swell. The connection with the water and the RHIB showed the skill and finesse of the Navy coxswain. At 0906, around 5km of a (safe) rumble and tumble later, we were a lot closer to Rangitahua /Raoul Island. The smile that had been playing on my face since 0830 threatened to jump off and swim away at the aweinspiring sight of Rangitahua. The sheer cliffs gave way to vegetation that looked like it had come straight off the set of Lord of the Rings. Deep indigo gave way to patches of clear light blue. It was only in this moment that I truly understood the significance of the Kermadecs and the beauty we have hidden in our four million square kilometre backyard. The island and surrounding waters – so untouched – sing pristine songs.

1200: we had collected all our systems and were met by another RHIB containing the expedition leader and an assorted media team. At 1245, the trip back to the ship was full of delighted giggles, even from William. Again, a safe (!) winching and hoisting process brought us back to the No. 1 deck. 1300 lunch, and a nap. At 1600 I nearly missed a talk on Kermadecs marine life from Dr Tom Trnski and some shark safety advice for future snorkelling trips, the best tip being to treat them like boisterous, unsocialised dogs – and plenty of respect. We all watched the footage collected in the morning, which revealed a bountiful array of species: a black spotted grouper looking like a grumpy old man, two moray eels slinking in and out of hidden tunnels, and quite a few blue mao mao.

At 0915, we were preparing and readying ourselves and our equipment – Baited Remote Underwater Video system (BRUVs) – to send down into the beckoning blue.

The 1900 dinner of braised lamb neck, veg and banoffee pie set me up perfectly to my blog writing. 2100, all done. And I’d better have an early night. . . I’m on slushies tomorrow.

0933 saw the first system dropped into around 15m of water, Lizzy gracefully hanging over the side of the craft to direct the cameras and bait rod into an opportune position to capture the biodiversity and abundance of the Kermadecs. A success! This process was repeated four more times in locations 500+ metres apart. 1048 came and with it the time to pull up the first system. Approval from the team leader had me dunking my own head over the side. The view that greeted me took my breath away – or might have if I hadn’t been underwater. The clear water showed six or seven juvenile Galapagos sharks, each about a metre and half in size, grey-cloaked ballerinas of the ocean, gracefully weaving amongst blue and green kingfish. Following the bait rod up, they became curious about, though not at all aggressive toward the googly-eyed alien ogling them (me). I am so incredibly grateful to the Navy, the teams of scientists and the Sir Peter Blake Trust for making this possible for a 16-year-old Gizzy girl.

Aoraki Bound – March 2018

Nā, Chris Glazewski. Ko Takitimu, ko Hananui ōku maunga Ko Aparima tōku awa Ko Takitimu tōku waka Ko Ōraka Aparima tōku rūnanga Ko Takutai o Te Tītī tōku marae Ko Kāti Māmoe, ko Waitaha, ko Kāi Tahu ōku iwi. Ko Karoraina Paraone rāua ko Capene Howell ōku tīpuna Ko Marian Glazewski rāua ko Jill Howell ōku mātua Ko Chris Glazewski ahau. In March 2018 I was very privileged and fortunate to continue on my Kāi Tahu journey by taking part in Aoraki Bound. It was a daunting prospect, going into the unknown. However brief the course description, it was enough for me to take the step forward to fully immerse

myself into what I knew would be both an amazing and challenging adventure – physically, mentally and spiritually.

Being given a core base of knowledge around Kāi Tahu history and the importance of all the Kāi Tahu sub tribes really helped me to appreciate where my whānau was from and validated my reasons for being part of Aoraki Bound.

There were 13 of us on this course from varying backgrounds, regions and stages in our Kāi Tahu journey. We had a huge range of abilities within our rōpū, which really helped to bind the group as we were all challenged in different ways – whether it was in our te reo, physical ability or mental capacity.

For me, this amazing course has grown my confidence about who I am and, although it’s only the start of my Kāi Tahu journey, it was the most fulfilling experience. If you are thinking about getting involved in Aoraki Bound I would highly recommend it!

The experience for me was really moving and the support from not only our Outward Bound facilitators but the knowledge and support we were given from Sampson, our Kāi Tahu facilitator, was amazing! Information along the course was only given to us when we needed it, not necessarily with a lot of warning, so it taught us to stay in the moment. At the beginning it was a challenge for me, but it was key to be fully engaged in the present.

E ngā rangatira o Ngāi Tahu, nāia te mihi nui ki a koutou mō tā koutou whakarite i tēnei hīkoi whakahirahira mō tātou me ngā uri ā muri ake nei. Tēnei te mihi hoki ki ngā kaimahi o Ōraka Aparima mō tō rātou whakarite i tāku uru ki tēnei kaupapa. Kupe 639! Aoraki Matatū!

We had a great hui on Waitangi Day and the shared lunch turned into a hākari with all the kaimoana that arrived! It was great to have a chance to kōrero together on the value the Treaty of Waitangi for the nation as well as the challenges to date. A very positive hui. Thanks to all who came along.

We usually start hui by 11am, then have kai, activities and whanaungatanga. This year we also want to encourage whānau to help organise wānanga weekends with different focuses, such as te reo. I am keen to hear from anyone who would like to help organise this!

Ngāi Tahu ki Tāmaki Makaurau

Rock art taoka return from Australia At the start of March, Ngāi Tahu ki Tāmaki Makaurau supported a whakatau at the University of Auckland for a collection of Waitaki Gorge rock art fragments that have returned from Australia.

these taoka back to Aotearoa. We extend a massive mihi to the manawhenua and University for helping ensure the appropriate tikanga and protection for the return of these taoka. We look forward to keeping the taoka warm as they are prepared for the next leg of the journey home to Te Waipounamu, repatriated to where our tūpuna created them.

The rock art and archaeological material had been collected in the late 1950s during the construction of the Benmore Dam. The hydro-electricity lake would flood the Waitaki Gorge which was part of a major traditional trail inland for North Otago and South Canterbury Ngāi Tahu. As part of the work, several rock shelters adorned with rock art were recorded and excavated. The attempts at salvaging the rock art from the wall were not very successful and some important pieces of whakairo were broken. The better preserved pieces were transferred to Otago Museum, and another small collection of the fragments were salvaged by Wal Ambrose, one of the leaders of the work. When he moved to Australia, he took the samples and archaeological material to complete writing up the archaeological report (published in Records of the Canterbury Museum, 1970) and in the hope that emerging technologies might offer new research scope. Recently, Wal has worked with Gerard O’Regan in an attempt to analyse and date one of the rock art samples. Following this and concerned to see the collection returned to New Zealand, in consultation with Te Rūnanga o Moeraki, Wal has forwarded the taoka to the University of Auckland where the collection will be sorted and evaluated in preparation for its return to Te Waipounamu. The whakatau was led by Michael Steedman (Ngāti Whātua), Hirini Kaa (Ngāti Porou) and Geremy Hema (Te Rarawa, Ngāti Paoa, Tainui), all Kaiārahi at the University. Held in the University’s archaeological lab, it was a powerful ceremony and whānau from Ngāi Tahu ki Tāmaki are proud to have been part of welcoming

Tom Cameron-Dunn, Auckland “Studying in Auckland it can feel like I don’t have a voice and so this survey gave me a chance to share my views on the future of Ngai Tahu. Fill it out - it’s easy, short and it allows your opinions to be heard which is important for our future decision making. And also you can win free stuff!”

Christine Thomas, Dunedin “I wanted to use my voice not just for myself, but also for my children – we are disengaged and want to reconnect so I used the survey to highlight the opportunities that exist for the tribe to connect to people like us.If you don’t use your voice, you’re going to lose it, so make sure you take this opportunity to have your say. It’s too important not to take part.”

Matched Savings 2018

Whai Rawa Tīma

While we’re on Matched Savings*, how are you tracking? We are a quarter of the way through the year already so hopefully you are on track and putting your pūtea aside on a regular basis. The easiest way is to set up an automatic payment for a small weekly, fortnightly or monthly amount. Give us a call on 0800 WHAI RAWA (0800 942 472) to get a copy of the AP form.

We are delighted to welcome three new wāhine to the Whai Rawa tīma – Josie Skipper – Marketing and Communications Advisor, Caitlin Hogan (Ngāi Tahu, Ngā Puhi) – intern and Te Puawai Perenara-O’Connell (Ngāi Tahu, Ngā Rauru) – Membership Support, who join us on the Whai Rawa waka by supporting whānau in their financial goals.

Once settled in, we cracked into some team building activities which included the local rite of passage – jumping off the jetty. We are pleased to say that we represented and enjoyed having Matiu, Marion and a couple of other locals join us on the wharf to judge our style (or lack thereof).

Te Taumatua Noho ki Koukourārata

On day two, we were privileged to have Peter Ramsden join us in the beautiful whare wānaka to share a few words before we got back into the mahi. He tika tāhau Peter – Tākata ako ana i te kāika, tū ana ki te marae, tau ana. Our noho at Koukourārata was an opportunity for us to strengthen our Kāi Tahutaka whilst gaining clarity about what is important to us as a people and as kaimahi.

On Tuesday, 27 March the Te Taumatua team travelled to Koukourārata to spend some quality time together and to reflect on the past year’s work and prepare for the year ahead. Ka titiro whakamuri kia aka whakamua. We were welcomed onto the marae by the hau kāika which included a beautiful kai of fry bread and seafood chowder-namunamuā! E te korokoro tūī, Matiu, tēnā koe i āu kupu maioha ki a mātou and a huge thanks also to the rika wera.

Kia Kūrapa ki Puketeraki 2018

E te huka hīkaka ki tō tātou nei reo, ka rere anō kā tai o mihi ki a koutou i tae mai i wīwī, i wāwā ki Kia Kūrapa ki Puketeraki. Ahakoa kā taero o Tūtekoropaka, kia manawaroa, kia manawa tītī. Tūwhitia te hopo! I tū te wānaka Kia Kūrapa ki Puketeraki i te 16 ki te 18 o Kahuru-kai-paeka.

Throughout the day, the three learning groups enjoyed classes on mihimihi, whetū, kīwaha, and wāhaka o te tinana. Classes were held at Karitāne School and at the marae. The kaiako were Waiariki Parata-Taiapa, Dr Lily Fraser, and Victoria Campbell – he mihi mutuka kore i tā koutou kaha tautoko i te kaupapa nei. A highlight of Saturday afternoon was the hīkoi to Huriawa pā, where we heard some of the local history of Te Tai o Araiteuru. Waiata-ā-rika was enjoyed by all, including learning an all new tune to ‘Huriawa Karamea’.

Another successful Kia Kūrapa was held at Puketeraki Marae on the weekend of 16-18 March. The demand to attend was massive, with places filling up within 24 hours and a waiting list of more than 70 people! It was also great to see a strong contingent of Puketeraki whānau involved. Friday night started with a pōhiri and mihimihi, with many new kanohi present. Kāi Tahu tauira had the chance to talk with Patsy PerenaraO’Connell about opportunities through Te Pou Here/Iwi Capability.

On Sunday morning KMK kaimahi and kairakahau Tāwini White shared a kauhau on the history of te reo Māori in Te Waipounamu, our language strategy and events. The wānaka ended with a competitive challenge between teams, testing our general knowledge of te reo me ōhona tikaka, with a little bit of chance tossed in.

Saturday morning started with karakia, korikori tinana, and a hearty parakuihi catered by He Waka Kōtuia, Queen’s and King’s High School Kapa Haka, fundraising to attend the national kapa haka champs. As well as preparing delicious kai throughout the hui, He Waka Kōtuia ran the tamariki programme at Karitāne School, keeping our tamariki occupied during class times. Mei kore ake i a koutou!

Please keep an eye out on our Facebook page, website and future Te Pānui Rūnaka for more details on upcoming Kia Kūrapa as registrations have been filling up fast. Kia Kūrapa are marae-based weekend reo learning opportunities for adult and rakatahi learners from absolute beginners through to intermediate level.

Form and Function Review

Have you had your say on the future yet? In December last year, Te Rūnanga released the Form and Function Review that has been developed to gather feedback from whānau to help refine and enhance our governance processes. Te Rūnanga wants to make sure that we have the best possible governance practice in place for the next stage of our development and we want to make sure that all whānau can contribute in the review process.

All information received will be considered and a summary will be included in a draft report that will go to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu before being shared with whānau. You do need your Ngāi Tahu whakapapa registration number to participate online – however, all names will be kept confidential.

Isobel Prasad has just finished high school and received a scholarship from Ngāi Tahu to study broadcast journalism at Ara Institute of Canterbury. Isobel has completed the review because she wants to be involved in the future of the tribe and to make a difference.

The Form and Function consultation process focuses on the following areas of governance: • • • • •

“It’s important to me to take the opportunities to be involved in tribal decision-making about the future. I’m going to be involved for a long time and I want to know I’ve taken every opportunity to contribute.”

Iwi engagement Tikanga Values Rūnanga appointment process Te Kaitiakitanga me te Tāhuhu

There are several ways whānau can participate in the review process. You can go online and respond to the online engagement document or if you want to talk to someone on the phone to share your views or get more information, you can call 0800 KAI TAHU or (0800 524 8248). There will be a series of regional hui for whānau which forms part of the Ngāi Tahu Road Shows.

Mananui Ramsden said his dad, Peter always said ‘don’t stand outside and throw stones in, if you have an issue be a part of the conversation’ – wise words! It was this advice that encouraged him to be part of the review process.

STRINGS AND STRUMMING BRING JOY

Helene Hakaraia is always the first one through the door for Maia’s weekly ukulele session. Since the group began in late 2015, she hasn’t missed a beat.

Their one requirement for music is that it has to be happy and appeal to all members. Maia are now learning scales, new chords and how to play backup for guitarist and supporter, Eddie Dixon.

The group only ever breaks, and reluctantly so, over the Christmas holidays. “We’ve found another family. We may not see each other day to day but when we come together every week to practise, we fit in well together,” says Helene.

“Playing back-up is quite a new skill for us.”

Helene decided to learn the ukulele back in 2015, after her husband was placed into hospital-level rest home care.

Nobody claims to be a singer among the group, but magic happens when they join forces. Rest homes around Christchurch enjoy the eclectic mix the group performs.

The group performed at the All Right? Matariki calendar launch last year, to rapturous applause.

“We had quite a heavy journey together. When you have a partner in to care, you have to make a commitment to yourself to do things. One of the things I wanted to do was bring music into my home, then just let it flow. It’s very uplifting and healing to have music and song in your life.”

For Helene, the joy that fills the room in each session is contagious. Word is also spreading of the group, with kaumatua joining all the time. Prospective members don’t even need a ukulele to join.

When a couple of friends got wind of her idea they too expressed interest in learning how to play the instrument.

Helene says they welcome everyone. The youngest member is aged 11 and the eldest “80 mumble”, and preschoolers have also dropped in on the odd occasion.

“There were seven of us to begin with and none of us knew how to tune or play.” With a few years’ experience under their belts, Maia members can now strum away to all manner of Maori songs and popular hits from the 60s. 41

Pānui “Participating in a United Nations conference has been a long-standing ambition of mine.” “It gave me an opportunity to see how our government is implementing the articles of the UN covenant on social, economic and cultural rights, and to see what criticisms and compliments their committee has of our government, and to see how myself and our organisation could further implement these articles in our day-to-day work.”

Ōraka Aparima - Mana Wright off to UN

Last month, Ngā Kete Matauranga Pounamu Charitable Trust’s Iwi Community Panel Co-ordinator, Mana Wright represented New Zealand at the 63rd Session of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in Geneva, Switzerland.

NKMP CEO Tracey Wright-Tawha says Ngā Kete celebrated the fact that a young man from Invercargill was given exposure to the world stage and the opportunity to contribute.

Mana Wright, 25, was selected to attend through the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples on the basis of the work Ngā Kete is doing in collaboration with the New Zealand Police, developing alternative resolution processes that seek to reduce Māori and community entry into the criminal justice system for low-level offending. Mr Wright was able to participate around issues of economic, social and cultural rights presenting a New Zealand perspective. He was particularly excited about the opportunity because of his studies in politics and philosophy at Otago University.

Symposium brings waka together in Marlborough The annual Whānau Ora Symposium, hosted by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu was held for the first time in Te Tau Ihu, based at the Marlborough Convention Centre last month. The theme for the symposium was ‘Tūtakitaki ngā waka; Tūtakitaki ngā tāngata. The people converge; the waka converge’ and was just that, a convergence of whānau from all over the South Island to illuminate the transformational change that Whānau Ora is making within Te Waipounamu.

Hinepounamu Apanui-Barr, who spoke about her experience moving from a kura kaupapa to a mainstream school.

The Minister for Whānau Ora, Peeni Henare declared that a commissioning agency has a structure which seems to give autonomy to the sector without some of the constraints of government funding systems which have been seen as less responsive to community need. He also spoke of the keen interest the Prime Minister had taken to understand the philosophy behind Whānau Ora.

Ngāi Tahu was well represented at the symposium. Dr Hana O’Regan and Patsy Perenara-O’Connell ran a registration desk providing information on the whānau survey, Whai Rawa, and Te Pouhere. Six of the keynote speakers also whakapapa to Ngāi Tahu: Dr Peter Meihana; Kiley Nepia; Fonteyn Moses-Te Kani; Dr Lorraine Eade; Hinepounamu Apanui-Barr and Kaapua Smith.

Board Chair Trevor Taylor announced that “Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu is proud to be a Living Wage Employer, and we want to ensure all our navigators are acknowledged for the vital role they play alongside whānau”. The audience gave a spontaneous round of applause to this announcement.

The founder of Whānau Ora, Hon Dame Tariana Turia, officially opened the event and in her speech reviewed the progress of Whānau Ora since its launch in April 2010, by looking back to the work of its original expert group chaired by Sir Professor Mason Durie. She laid down a particular challenge to the vision of the nine iwi in establishing Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu:

He also announced that the Wave Eight funding round opens on 1 May 2018 and presented the largely positive results of a recent evaluation by Ihi Research.

“Local Māori leadership and knowledge are essential to ensuring that Whānau Ora contributes in positive and realistic ways. I want to particularly acknowledge the nine iwi that comprise Te Taumata for helping to make this happen. Whānau Ora will only grow if you grow with it – if you guide us, shape us, direct us, request of us the opportunities that will best enable our whānau to lead their lives with confidence”.

Hinepounamu Apanui-Barr reflected on her story, moving from a kura to a mainstream school, and how pivotal strong Māori teachers were in helping her to fashion her own pathway. She also talked with great enthusiasm about opportunities for rangatahi development within the Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Manawa Hou programme. Kaapua Smith spoke about sustainability; a concept that recognises the symbiotic relationship between the natural environment and the long-term wellbeing of whānau and communities. She also shared her gratitude for David Higgins (Upoko Rūnanga o Moeraki) for helping connect her to her Ngāi Tahu whakapapa. And that really was the mark of success of Tūtakitaki ngā waka; Tūtakitaki ngā tāngata –lifetime connections made, experiences shared, new ideas generated. Check out the video highlights on http://www. teputahitanga.org/symposium-info/

Dr Peter Meihana provided a perspective on the excavations and repatriation of kōiwi tāngata at the Wairau Bar

Yamada O’Regan

Secondary School Scholarship 2018 Scholarship Objective The objective of the Ngāi Tahu Mātauranga Trust Yamada O’Regan Secondary School Scholarships is to advance Ngāi Tahu secondary school students to complete the school year and successfully attain a school qualification.

The Yamada O’Regan Secondary School Scholarships: Named after Masashi Yamada and Tā Tipene O’Regan, these scholarships are a representation of cross cultural friendship and also profound generosity. In the 90’s Yamada, a successful Japanese businessman and philanthropist (introduced to Tā Tipene by Graham Kitson), extended a multimillion dollar lifeline to the iwi. This loan provided a lifeline which enabled Ngāi Tahu to continue with Te Kerēme. Post settlement Yamada again displayed his generosity and commitment to the development of indigenous cultures by gifting a substantial fund to establish a trust. As a result the Ngāi Tahu Mātauranga Trust was established in 2001 to provide and promote educational opportunities for the benefit of Ngāi Tahu whānui.

Whakaahua Tīpuna/Whānau We would appreciate hearing from anyone that may have any further information about this photograph and the people pictured. If you are able to provide any further information regarding this photograph please contact Robyn Walsh or Tania Nutira, Ngāi Tahu Archives Unit on 0800 KAI TAHU (0800 524 8248).

This photograph was shared with us by Robyn Cook. This is the second image, from a series of four that will appear on the back page of upcoming issues of Te Pānui Rūnaka. They are of the Charlie Goodwillie shearing gang from the late 1800s and were found in a Hawke’s Bay refuse station. The only information we currently have is that Charlie Goodwillie is the man under the tree wearing a hat, with a pipe in his mouth and that the photo was taken at Waimarama, Hawkes Bay, sometime in the late 1800s.
