Nä te Kaiwhakahaere
Supporting our young Māori into tertiary education and training programmes now will greatly enhance our capability in the future. Despite the chaos caused by the Canterbury quakes we must not allow the academic progress made over the past decades to fall away. As we focus on rebuilding our homes we must equally focus on continuing to build the knowledge of our people.
Education is key to achieving Māori dreams for the future. In this issue of Te Pānui Rūnaka you will see the beginning of the “Get on the Waka” campaign to encourage Ngāi Tahu, no matter what age, into further training. We need to lift our expectations and that of our children if we are going to keep our communities and nation moving forward.
This month we launch two very significant campaigns designed to enhance the skills of Ngāi Tahu and all Māori in Te Waipounamu. There is the ‘Get on the Waka’ campaign to encourage our people to continue their education journey and there is also the launch of He Toki ki te Rika, marking a new era of Māori Trade Training.
In 2006, Māori made up 14.6% of the population – that’s one in seven New Zealanders. By 2026, there is expected to be 818,000 Māori – 17% of the population. By 2050 it is entirely possible that the Māori population will double what it is today – well over the one million mark. And because the Māori and Pacific Islander workforce is projected to be considerably younger on average than the ageing pākehā workforce, there is little doubt that the entire economy will be particularly dependent on just how highly skilled we make ourselves.
The He Toki ki te Rika programme is Ōtautahi based and, with thanks to funding from Te Puni Kōkiri, will see 200 Māori students recruited into trade training positions at CPIT before the end of the year. All Māori in Christchurch are encouraged to consider if there is anyone in their whānau or network who might be interested in this opportunity and encourage them to contact CPIT’s Centre of Māori and Pasifika Achievement on 0800 24 24 76.
With this in mind we need to ensure that the Canterbury earthquakes don’t set us back. The viability of our polytechs, our tertiary institutions and tertiary programmes are of great importance to our region and our nation.
We need to grow leaders, thought leaders, people leaders to help rebuild our home. Getting our people onto tertiary education waka is key to carrying our people forward so kia kaha and get on the waka for a better future!
My concern right now is that less Māori students next year means less Māori graduates in the future. If we allow the earthquakes to get in the way of our children attending local tertiary and training institutions then we also face the very real risk that these institutions will see their resources diminish.
Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura Ngā mate It is with great sadness we acknowledge the passing of dear Aunty Lena Beaton. Aunty Lena worked for many years cooking in the kitchen at Takahanga Marae. When the cooking was done she enjoyed playing cards.

Te Whakawātea o Te Tari o Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae After many years of talking, dreaming and extensive planning, the day finally arrived for Ngāti Waewae whānau to come together and take part in a dawn blessing for stage 1 of our marae complex –Te Tari o Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae. Our tūpuna cried heavily for days leading up to the event, but around 6.45am on the morning of 11 June they decided to stop. The skies cleared and Waewae whānau both young and old gathered to create a historic moment. Emotions were running rampant as Ben Hutana, Rik Pitama and Richard Wallace led the karakia. The wairua of our kaumātua who have passed on were felt by whānau.

Hector and Hilda Tainui (née Mason), known as Spud and Tilly, have spent their whole lives keeping the home fires burning in Arahura. While Mary (Babe) and Jock Tulloch have kept the fires burning in Hokitika. To have them present was an emotional experience on its own, many tears were shed by whānau and on lookers.

would normally eat, such as cottage cheese to replace marge on toast and fruit, instead of chocolate biscuits. [Insert photo: 5]
After a moving ceremony and many beautiful waiata, especially from our young kōtiro, the whānau were spoilt with a hāngi for breakfast, which I might add was cooked to perfection! Before, during and after breakfast, whānau had the chance to have a look inside the new whare which consists of; the rūnanga office, wharepaku and showers, a small wharemoe (which can be used as a boardroom) with an adjoining kitchenette, outdoor kitchen and fire.
Jools Tumahai (née Campbell), Missy Campbell, Crystal Mason, Marie Mahuika-Forsyth, Caroline Parker, Jill Bain, Shanita Meihana, Nelly Mason. Many wāhine ended up making drastic changes to their daily lives, by changing the kai they eat and exercising. It was a big ask for some wāhine, but it was achieved. Crystal and Nelly Mason were crowned our higest achievers. These two took a while to take it all in, but by the last session they had made the changes.
In the next couple of weeks our office kaimahi will relocate to the new whare, and once this happens we hope to see as many whānau as possible. Pop in, even if it’s only for a cuppa. Now that stage 1 is complete, stage 2 will begin in the coming months so watch this space for updates on progress. A big as mihi goes out to each and every person responsible for making this happen, from past and present rūnanga members, the builders, the painters and so on. The list could go on forever. Most importantly the biggest mihi is to all of Ngāti Waewae whānau whānui for allowing this moemoeā to come alive. [Insert photo: 3]
The highest achievers Crystal and Nelly Mason. To end the programme, the wāhine had a big shared kai made from their new recipe book (all healthy dishes!!). Following our kai, Marie took the wāhine to the Makaawhio gym for a weigh-in and to show them how to use all the gym equipment.

Going to the gym has become the norm for the wāhine now, which really shows how far they have come. One of the wāhine, who is a fitness fanatic, has taken it on-board to be their personal trainer. This is very encouraging for the wāhine, having a motivator will be helpful in the long run.
Appetite For Life On 4 May Marie Mahuika-Forsyth began running an Appetite For Life programme. Appetite For Life is a weight management and healthy lifestyle programme for wāhine. It was based at the Arahura whare wānanga and ran for five weeks. It’s designed to teach wāhine how to eat properly, change bad eating habits, exercise on a daily basis and read food labels.
A big mihi to the Makaawhio Executives for allowing the wāhine to use the gym, and to Marie WOO HOOOO!!!!! Hope the next lot of wāhine enjoy the programme as much as we did. Mauri Ora...
The programme began with eight wāhine and completed with seven, which is pretty good going. One of the highlights for most of the wāhine was food tasting each week. Yes that sounds suspect, but the kai tasting was all healthy alternatives to kai that wāhine on the programme
Nā Missy Campbell To all the whānau in Ōtautahi kia kaha! Mā te runga rawa koutou e tiaki, e manaaki hoki....

Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga Congratulations
In particular, Liz has published extensively in the field of Māori/indigenous students, science and science education. A frequent keynote speaker, she addresses conferences worldwide.
[Insert Photo: Liz]
More recently her work has focused on systemic changes in secondary schools that can make the largest positive difference to Māori student outcomes. Liz has an outstanding record in research leadership, having led the Starpath Project for more than four years and recently successfully secured multi-million dollar funding for Starpath Phase 2. Her brothers and sisters (Jean Field, Diane Rewi, Rhys, David and Sheridan McKinley) congratulate her on this great achievement and her academic career to date, which continues to be one of excellence.
In the most recent round of academic appointments Associate Professor Liz McKinley has been appointed to the position of Professor in the School of Te Puna Wānanga, Auckland University.
Aoraki Bound Alumni It’s three months since Nicola Hullen completed Aoraki Bound and she reports how the course has inspired her to feel empowered as Ngāi Tahu.
Liz is of Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa/Ngāi Tahu descent. The daughter of Te Kura o te Rangi Wi (Buff) and Eileen Alice McKinley. Mokopuna of Paora Taki and Hineariki [née Te Apatu] McKinley, and Beatrice and Tom Mouldey. Raised in Carterton, Liz attended Kuranui College and received her science degree at the University of Otago.
“Since completing Aoraki Bound I find myself being more connected as a Ngāi Tahu woman. I walk through life with passion, for myself, my whānau, and my friends.” Nicola says instead of wasting time she now uses it for the benefit of herself and others.
Her research in education is informed by 12 years experience in teaching and leadership positions in New Zealand secondary schools in Waikato and Rotorua. Liz joined the Hamilton Teachers College/School of Education, Waikato University in 1991, where she received her doctorate. She was appointed to the position of Associate Professor in the School of Education at the University of Auckland in 2007. Liz has been the Director of the Starpath Project, a Partnership for Excellence between the University of Auckland and New Zealand government.
“After thirty years of feeling totally uncomfortable with learning the reo and being in any Māori environment and wanting to just disappear, I now have the freedom to partake in whatever is required of me in these environments. And without an ounce of being whakamā about it. I desire knowledge of our past, enjoying with a caring manner our present and I am also now committed to making sure these great things we enjoy today are here for my future descendants to enjoy tomorrow.” Nā Nicola Hullen
Liz’s work addresses the capability of the New Zealand education system to meet the complex changes of transforming the educational outcomes for Māori.

Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata Kā mihi o te wā ki a tātou Matariki is a time of new beginnings, a time when we say goodbye to those who have passed and welcome the new year. This Matariki will (so far) be remembered by the on-going large aftershocks in Ötautahi. Thankfully none of our whānau have been seriously injured, nor the marae damaged, but nerves are understandably frayed,
which aren’t helped by large trucks driving past. But life goes on and here in Christchurch we have learnt to take it in our stride and to move forward. I am continually amazed and proud of the resilience of our Christchurch whānau, who carry on with day to day life despite everything. Like everyone we hope this will end soon.

Before moving on, Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata extends our heartfelt aroha to you and all of our whanauka who have lost loved ones over the past month. Nō reira koutou o te huka wairua haere atu rā, moe mai rā i kā peka o tō tātou nei Ūkaipō. Mā te Atua koutou katoa e manaaki e tiaki. Āpiti hono tātai hono rātou ki a rātou ka moe, āpiti hono tātai hono tātou te huka ora ka noho, pai mārire! Ever so humble - there’s no place like our new interim office After nine weeks of working from home and thanks to the (ongoing) generosity of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata and Te Taumutu Rūnanga moved into our interim office located in the Ngāi Tahu port-ocom village.
Before anything can be taken out first we’ve got to pick it up and sort it!
As you can see space is a bit tight, so if you are coming out to the rūnanga office please text or email first. Our contact details remain the same, we can also be contacted by cell phone (during working hours) on 021 412 377. We also have a Facebook page where regular updates are placed for our whānau living outside of the takiwā. A very big thanks to the Office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu in particularly Anake Goodall, Mike Sang, Justine Whittaker and Tom Fitzpatrick and his IT Team.

Another red zone mission We received a phone call late afternoon on Friday to inform us that we were gaining a second ‘controlled access’ into our building on Monday 30 May to retrieve items from our office. Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu also had controlled access to Te Waipounamu House on the same day, so we were very grateful to Janyne ‘Dottie’ Morrison and Rachael Hewett from People and Performance for helping to organise the safety kits. A special thanks to Joseph Hullen, Aubz Hughes and Ben Te Aika who came into the building with us.

Wairewa Rūnaka Tēnā tātou katoa,
for learning. I was pushed and supported by fantastic people, met new people that have whānau connections and tried new things that I am now incorporating into my life.
Kua titiro te takata ki kā tohu o te tau. Ka noho tahi te iwi i te taha o te ahi i kā pō roroa. Ko te eaka o Puaka i te rāwhiti te tohu o te tau hou. Puaka Kai Rau! Ka takihia kā mate o te tau tawhito, ka pōwhiritia hoki te tau hou. Ko Matariki kā whetū o te tau hōu ki kā iwi o te raki.
This course I think helps preserve Māori culture and te reo. Since completing the course, I have had a desire to learn te reo Māori. I would like to learn enough te reo, so that one day I may be able to teach future courses like Brett Lee and Tiaki Latham-Coates.
Kua tae mai te wā o mākeremumu hupe tautau me te kohurau, me te kōpaka hoki. Ko te tūmanako, e wharoaroa ana koutou i mua i te ahi muramura, kāore kē i te kaua e Hinetakurua. Nō reira kauraka e wareware ki te whakakātia te paraikete hiko, ki te inumia he tarawai rēmana wera me whakamau weruweru mahana. Kia pai te wā makariri ā, ko kā manaakitaka o kā atua ki a tātou i kā wā katoa.
Now back in the real world, the new skills I have learnt continue to help me grow and further my goals. So in saying that, thank you to all the people who have been making this course available. I think more people need to know about it and I will recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Due to the 13 June earthquake the Wairewa rūnanga office, which we had just moved into at 182 Chester Street East has been closed pending an engineer’s report. So we are once again ‘office less’ and working from home. I don’t think we will be returning to the 6th Floor at 79 Hereford St, because being that high up in shakeville doesn’t appeal to anyone.

Jesse Daniels Aoraki Bound Experience Before going on Aoraki Bound I was unsure of my life, I felt like I was just drifting with the currents with no real direction or drive. However, after the 20 day course, I have a new found strength and appreciation of life in general. In the 20 days spent on the course, I went through some of the toughest obstacles I have ever had to face. I faced my fears of failure with tools taught to me by my instructors Scotty and Pip. I pushed myself to new mental limits, that at some points I thought I may not get through, but with great support from others on the course and the instructors, I pushed through.

Research Kia ora koutou, My name is Zoe McGavock and I am in my final year of a Masters of Science (MSc) with an endorsement in health psychology. I thought I would share some information with you all, about the research that I am doing for my Masters thesis.
I was also taught about and most interested in the migration of Ngāi Tahu whānui, and the ways in which our people lived. I found myself feeling stronger and more confident about my heritage. Given that one of my grandfathers is from England, I have leant towards the pākehā side of my family and identified myself with it more, only to realise that I am really proud to be Māori and that I really want to learn more about it.
The aim of the project is to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of Māori who are currently experiencing chronic pain or a painful health condition. At the moment there is very little research that has a specific focus on Māori and pain and next to none that focuses on chronic pain experiences specifically.
During this experience I was privileged to have my eyes opened to a new world of possibilities and a passion

This is therefore an under-researched area of Māori health. Considering that Māori have consistently poorer health outcomes compared to New Zealanders of European descent, it deserves further attention.
hoped that this research will contribute to developing a deeper understanding of Māori experiences of chronic pain, and may be able to be used to improve how their pain is managed or treated by medical professionals.
The project will consist of conducting in-depth interviews with a small, community-based sample of Māori adults (aged 18 to 65) who consider themselves to have chronic pain. Sound recordings of the interviews will be made and then typed up word-for-word, so that they can be analysed. The analysis will consist of looking for common themes that run across all of the interviews, and quotes from the interviews will be used to highlight these themes as well as drawing out diverse experiences.

Te Taumutu Rūnanga Te Orarikitanga Gardens Another month passes and our vegetables are growing like crazy. What an achievement this has turned out to be, for us and our community. Working alongside the Christchurch Corrections Department and their wonderful staff, this has been a great transition for us. Te Orarikitanga Gardens was once a well-known kai site and the traditions of old are returning. Under the guidance of Rueben Gent, the community work teams grow vegetables using traditional Mäori methods. Tikanga and te reo have also been effortlessly incorporated into daily routine at the gardens. Our autumn vegetables, including potatoes and kamokamo (squash) have been a great success. We are now in the process of harvesting these autumn vegetables for whānau and the local community. This is a not-for-profit project, that Te Taumutu Rünanga fully supports and encourages to grow for future generations.

Update from the office Since Rūaumoko rattled our whenua in February there have been many changes. It was lovely that some of our whānau were able to find safety and shelter by staying at Ngāti Moki. Thank you to Fiona and Sissy for helping to make a difficult time easier. Nau mai haere mai to Tauru Martin Jr and his whānau who have since relocated to Southbridge after the earthquake. Our Ōtautahi office was trapped in the red zone and thankfully we have been able to move to Wigram. Ngā mihi aroha to everyone who has helped to make the move easier. Thank you to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu on behalf of our office for all the support following the earthquake. You have helped us to re-establish our office at Wigram and supported us when we’ve been able to access our building to recover files, computers and so on. Thanks also for your continued support.
Tamariki Day On 21 April our tamariki gathered at Moki to enjoy another school holiday activity day. We started with karakia and mihi. Our tutor for the day explained to the tamariki what we would be doing. First stop – the beach, to collect natural resources for their käkahu creations.

Singapore is where Charlene was born but she was brought up in Taumutu and was often seen driving her Uncle Clem’s car at the age of four.
Te Waihora Update On Saturday 21 May heavy machinery once again attempted to open Te Waihora. The first attempt failed as the sea quickly closed the opening almost overnight. It is hoped with the lake waters having access to the sea it will help to flush out contaminants, especially those created by the earthquake.

Te Rūnanga o Waihōpai Kia ora whānau, Ngā mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa te whānau whānui o ngā Rūnaka o Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha hoki. Nau mai haere mai. My deepest condolences to the whānau who have had a loved one pass away.
Tītī Island Trip and update from the marae. The weekend before I went to the Tītī islands I had a flu injection and I then had the flu for a week - boy I should have stayed on the island. Helping your neighbor on the Tītī islands keeps with the ways of our tïpuna, awhi, tautoko and manaaki. It is a privilege to be able to set foot on the islands, to smell the freshness of the free air, to uphold the mana of our tïpuna.
Congratulations
I say this with pride that whakawhanaungatanga was alive and well at Waitakua with Carol Pakinga, Doug Huria, Karl Russell (superman), Ian Fluety, the Russell whānau, Les and Janet Eleanor’s children and our new whānau, Kitty and Dan Brown and Raewyn Harris who both have not been to the Tītī islands before, they did very well, congratulations to you all. When our chainsaw broke down, Doug and his team Ian and Karl came over and gave us four hours of cutting firewood, wonderful arohanui whānau. Then the Russell whānau came over, all nine of them and gave us a night torching arohanui to you all whānau. Also our whānau went over to Kitty and Dan’s for a night of torching so it was a great Tītī season this year, not only for birding but for building whanaungatanga. Of course the Russell whānau went to awhi Raewyn and like us all were extremely grateful, a big thank you folks. A great season by all the people that went. Catching Tītī is an art. Many a time I ended up on my bum or tripped over, but I got caught two birds.
Late last May, Kyle Davis graduated from the University of Otago with a bachelor of arts; majoring in anthropology and archaeology and minor in Māori studies.
Thank you to the chopper pilot, the radio DJ and the skippers of the boats that took us safely to the Islands.
Kyle said it was a great honour to represent Kāi Tahu whānui on the graduating stage, and to be another in a long line of Ngāi Tahu graduates.
The marae and rūnaka has been doing a lot of mahi this month. They have been catching up with all responsible house keepings, visiting schools and supporting the opening of the new court house. The rūnaka and marae have a new boat and four wheel drive so we can now catch our own kai moana.
“This, juxtaposed with the great privilege to don one of our iwi korowai, made the ceremony an emotional and endearing experience for myself and my whānau. It is with a humble heart that I offer my sincerest thanks to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu for facilitating the loan of the korowai and all support throughout my studies.”
Be good to one another arohanui.
Hoea te waka mātauraka Mā wai e hoe Māhaku e hoe Māhau e hoe Mā tātou katoa tēnei waka e hoe Ngā mihi atu rā
Squirrell on the hill.

Registration forms are available from our website at www.puketeraki.co.nz Matariki at the marae We are eagerly anticipating Matariki at the marae an evening celebrating the presence of the constellations of Puaka and Matariki in our skies. The Matariki at the marae wearable art show was first run in 2009. It was so successful that it is has encouraged the small group of volunteers to stage another competition. It will be shown at Puketeraki Marae with the support of Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki on 8 and 9 July. [Insert image 4608]

Congratulations Joshua Te Tau, who has been selected for the under 65kg metro rugby team! Well done Josh. The recent Touch Canterbury awards dinner saw more success in the touch field for Puketeraki referee Logan Forrester and his mum Vanessa. Logan was judged best youth referee and Vanessa the best female and module referee co-ordinator in Canterbury. These followed on from similar awards from their own module at Prebbleton back in September. Both are now looking to further their experience by refereeing at the Māori National Touch Competition later in the year. July tamariki programme This July’s tamariki programme is going to be packed full of fun! Our master carver James York along with Simon Kaan and Jenny Rendall are joining us to gather input from tamariki about future adornments inside our wharenui. The University of Otago, School of Physical Education will also be joining us to teach some traditional Māori games. Maybe some paddle boarding if the weather is mild enough. Numbers for this hui are restricted, so please get your registrations in as soon as

Southern District Health Board After a lot of hard work, emails, telecommunication and so on, Ngā Rūnanga o Murihiku me Araiteuru have been able to put in place the principles of relationships with the Southern District Health Board. This document was signed off by the chairs of all seven rūnanga and the health board. To all our whānau who participated in this important occasion, thank you all on behalf of our iwi governance committee. Also thank you for the on-going support within the very important kaupapa of health here in our Southern wāhi.
Kā mate Our love and condolences at this time to all those families who have suffered the loss of loved ones, our thoughts are with you all Arohanaui ki a koutou katoa Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui Mā te atua e manaaki Nā te whānau o Hokonui Rūnanga.
Project Ora - home insulation It is pleasing to note the popularity of this home insulation project. Our rūnanga and service outlets have been receiving up to 30 calls a day inquiring about home insulation. We are on target to complete 60 home insulations by 30 June for our Ngāi Tahu whānui. We still have a lot of insulation work to be done after 30 June. In terms of our Ōtautahi home insulation inquiries, it has been disappointing to not be able to insulate enough of the homes of kaumātua and young families before the cold weather conditions set in.
Update from Hokonui Rūnanga Here at Hokonui we have extended our wetlands by about another two to three hectares. These areas will be planted in native species that would have naturally occurred in other wetlands within the Gore – Mataura region. It is hoped that in time, the area will attract native insects and birds and contribute to the natural beauty of our marae. The new driveways into the marae are looking good, as are the judder bars. The speed is restricted to 5km and signs have been placed in conspicuous areas to enforce this. The support facilities and surrounding grounds are in good shape for this time of year.
Nō reira tēnei te mihi ki a koutou Nā Hokonui Rūnanga

Taurahere Röpü Lots has happened over the last two month in Tāmaki Makaurau On Saturday 9 April, whānau gathered at the Hotel Grand Chancellor to celebrate the 80th birthday of our whaea Harriett Papuni. Whānau flew home from Australia, they came from Ōpotiki, Whanganui, Ngāpuhi. It was so wonderful to see everyone come together to share this special occasion. We also celebrated the 40 birthday of Harriett’s daughter Ruth.
Congratulations On 13 May, Jock and Lorna Orbell celebrated a golden wedding anniversary. It was a double celebration because Saturday 14 May was also Jock’s birthday he is 73 years young. They had family and friends at their home in Albany, Auckland. The following week they went to Waiheke Island to have a rest (if that’s what retired couples should do!!!). Jock is the son of Harry Habberfield Orbell and the Great Grandson of Rora Orbell, Kaumātua 428 of Moeraki.
Kāi Tahu ki Tāmaki Makaurau had the privilege of welcoming/hosting the whānau to Papakura Marae. We took the opportunity to share with these whānau and encourage many of them to register with Kāi Tahu. Up and Coming Events 13 – 14 August – two day weaving, catering, whakairo wānanga. 3 September – one day tikanga wānanga. 24 – 25 September – two day weaving, catering, whakairo wānanga. 28 – 30 October – Tāmaki Makaurau Annual Hui-ä-Tau

Pam Ryder’s graduation
Tikanga Wānanga The first of our tikanga wānanga has been held. What a wonderful day. The day dawned cool and then turned into a beautiful warm sunny day. A small group gathered at the waharoa, waiting to be called on. For those of us inside, we were ready with anticipation for what was ahead. We started the day introducing ourselves, then Pāpā Kukupa started with a presentation on Māori values. Inside the wharenui, we started to feel the chill so we moved outside to walk through the pōwhiri process, and continued the day sitting on the veranda of the wharenui.
Bones and Pam on her graduation day.
It was awesome to see new whānau showing an interest in learning and becoming involved. The feedback has been that whānau want more of these wānanga. Those who attended had a great day of learning and whangaungatanga. Some suggestions have also been received which will be put into action and incorporated into future wānanga.
Our congratulations go to Pam who graduated after three years of study with a bachelor of social work. She gradated on 3 May at the Auckland Town Hall and then at Waipapa Marae, Auckland University on 7 May with some of Kāi Tahu ki Tāmaki Makaurau whānau supporting her. Best wishes in attaining employment in the near future.

Aunty Pamela Ryder took the rangatahi aside to work with them as they found the kōrero about tikanga boring. They are now working on a programme for their age group with the support and help of Aunty Pam. A big thank you to Peter Plumb for the carved heru for Kāi Tahu ki Tāmaki Makaurau. The heru is to be used when one of our whānau graduate from university. It will be held in trust by one of the committee members until it is needed. Thank you to Pāpā Kukupa and Whetu for coming and supporting our wānanga and bringing the gift of Bluff oysters, which we had for lunch.
A heru Peter Plumb created, the design is of two Manaia which symbolise protection with the head of the South Island Eagle seen in the centre. The back view of the heru is the south Island Eagle carved from pounamu. Whether you have volumes of whakapapa, or are wanting to know where to begin your family research, this workshop will have something for you. The library holds microfiche, (of New Zealand Māori marriages, births, deaths, electoral rolls, and so much more). They also provide free access to genealogy databases that are not readily available elsewhere. If the library does not hold the information you need, and it is available elsewhere, they may be able to request it for you.
Ngāi Tahu ki Kirikiriroa Family History Research Workshop Date: Saturday 16 July Time: 10am Venue: 3rd Floor, Heritage Room, Hamilton Central Library. Kia ora whānau, there will be a family history workshop held for our Ngāi Tahu whānau, (or anyone else who might be interested), at the Hamilton Central Library. Shelley, a librarian from the Heritage team, will introduce whānau to the wealth of information and resources that available at the library.
So come along to the workshop and meet with other Ngāi Tahu whānau in the Waikato region. If you are interested or want to know more contact Moana Lousi phone: (07) 838 1997, mobile: 021 110 2163.
The day’s highlight was the update we got from guest speaker, Whetu Moataane, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu iwi communications advisor. He spoke about the current state of affairs for Ngāi Tahu in quake-ridden Ōtautahi.
Ngāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana Ngāi Tahu Ki Tauranga Moana Hui Report After all the rain of late, our bimonthly hui took place in fine weather on an unseasonably warm winter afternoon, attendance not quite matching the opportunity the day presented. Some however, did came from a distance to attend. In the absence of overseas Chair Annis Somerville, Joe Briggs deputised.
The fact that Ōtautahi has been through the blender is such old news. We don’t live with the daily reality of the new normal and get blasé about things such as munted roads, portaloo decorated road sides, war zone devastation, disrupted services and so on.
Housekeeping matters included mention of the new grant we have, which when added to accumulated funds, doubles our finances and puts us in a position to give thought to a project or two. Given the advancing years of most of our members, getting more tamariki and rakatahi involvement was an issue that got a fair chewing over, with a taurahere kapa haka group being a possibility, capitalising on the growth of this art in schools locally. Thoughts of how we might structure our Christmas meeting were aired and ideas are being sought. One suggestion was discussed – a whānau occasion at the rural home of Kuia Auntie Janice Kawe.

at sea again – made it all somehow more real than news media accounts.
So it was a timely reminder of the on-going need for support and a first-hand chance to gain an appreciation of the situation. And to glory in the uncrushable human spirit, the dogged kiwi get-on-with-it, the up-welling of community, the many acts of kindness, te mea, te mea, that those twin disasters have brought in their wake.
Also, to have an assurance that out of chaos, order is slowly emerging is good to hear. Our thanks to Whetu for dropping in on us from his trip to Napier. He’s opened our eyes to what’s really going on in Ōtautahi. We’ll all look forward to seeing more of him as the taurahere part of his communication role builds

Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu Earthquake Update and Rāpaki. This is not to understate the effects that the earthquake has had in other areas of Canterbury. For example homes have been red stickered in not only these areas but also as far as Barry’s Bay on the Banks Peninsula. The needs analysis identified six key areas where Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua needs to respond. These areas are; 1. Whānau wellbeing including health and social 2. Housing to support with things like repairs, home heating and so on 3. Rūnanga/hapū led responses 4. Financial Support 5. Advisory work at agency and national levels.
Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua Nāia te mihi kau, te maioha ki a koutou i runga i ngā tini āhuatanga o te wā. Ko te tūmanako ia, e ora ana koutou i ngā manaakitanga o te wāhi ngaro. Kia tau te mauri. In response to the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu established “Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua”, an Earthquake Recovery Working Group sub-committee. The purpose of this subcommittee is to plan Ngāi Tahu’s immediate and longer term response to the earthquakes and Christchurch’s recovery. Members appointed to Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua are: Wally Stone (Chair), Mark Solomon, Elizabeth Cunningham and Tutehounuku Korako.
With the assistance of Rūnanga Chairs and experts in the above fields, Te Awheawhe has developed a draft strategic plan to respond to these needs which is expected to be approved and implemented before the end of June.
Role Its responsibilities include responding to not only the needs of Ngāi Tahu whānau but also other iwi and affected communities. The role of Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua is to engage with affected Rūnanga, seek expert advice from those working in the field and identify the needs of those affected by the earthquakes. Supported by the Office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Te Awheawhe Rü Whenua meets weekly to plan and guide this work. Every fortnight the Chairs of the rūnanga affected by the earthquakes and representatives from Te Puni Kökiri also meet with Te Awheawhe to assist with the response planning and recovery effort.
Further details on Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua’s response to these earthquakes and aftershocks will be announced this month. In the coming months there will be regular updates in Te Pānui Rūnaka, on the Ngāi Tahu website, via Facebook and Te Karaka. Te Awheawhe wishes to acknowledge the loss and devastation that many whānau are having to cope with. We are moving as rapidly as we can to respond to your immediate and longer term needs. Wally Stone Chair Te Awheawhe Rü Whenua
Response To Date One of the first jobs completed by Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua was identify the needs of affected communities. As a result of research completed by the Office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Mana Waitaha Charitable Trust and Dr Regan Potangaroa from the Auckland Unitec, Te Awheawhe were able to quickly identify whānau and community needs. It has become clear that those hardest hit reside in Kaiapoi, Christchurch East, Lyttelton
Phone 0800 KAITAHU for up to date information and assistance or go to the Ngāi Tahu website: www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/Earthquake/ For immediate earthquake updates get on the Ngāi Tahu Facebook page: www.facebook.com/terunangaongaitahu

The purpose of this event was to show support for the people of Christchurch after both the September and February earthquakes. It ignited New Zealanders near and far to get behind the city and send a loud message of aroha, strength and unity.
Super Haka
Super Shuttle hosted the event in the four main centres, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin. All walks of life, all peoples of Aotearoa turned out to take part in the mass haka, demonstrating what can be achieved when we all pull together. Christchurch Mayor Bob Paker and Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Mark Solomon turned up to the Christchurch centre to perform the haka and show support for their city.

The Office This event provided a much needed opportunity for Māori speaking whānau to meet each other and use this beautiful language of ours i kā wā katoa, i kā wāhi katoa (all the time, in all places). Over 30 tamariki attended this wānaka with their parents and caregivers. We look forward to seeing the fruits of these wānaka come into fruition in years to come. KMK Whānau Haereka

Newborn incentive – extension to eligibility date As a result of the earthquakes many whānau have been unable to quickly register new whānau members with whakapapa and Whai Rawa. Whai Rawa Fund Limited has decided to extend the eligibility for receiving the newborn incentive in 2011. To receive the $60 contribution (inclusive of RSCT), members must normally be enrolled with Whai Rawa in the 2011 calendar year and before they turn one. Because of the effects of the earthquake an extension has been provided to allow all those who would have been eligible for the newborn incentive in 2011 but who have already turned one, until 30 August 2011 to register with Whai Rawa.

leader and that’s what we want to see. This programme is aspirational. The experience that our young people are going to gather in rebuilding Christchurch is priceless. If they can gain a trade training qualification in the next few years and gain experience as part of the Christchurch rebuild programme then I expect they will be able to work anywhere.” Thanks to funding from Te Puni Kōkiri, He Toki ki te Rika have launched a new era of Māori trade training in Ōtautahi.
CPIT will facilitate the training and is offering fee support. The programme will build on the values and spirit of the proud history of Māori Trade Training in Ōtautahi. However, there will be a number of differences including a focus on local recruitment so hostel accommodation will not be provided.
He Toki ki te Rika are a partnership between Te Tapuae o Rehua, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, CPIT and the BETA Industry Training Organisations with the support of Ngāi Tahu Property.
CPIT Kaiārahi, Hana O’Regan says CPIT is committed to the delivery of trade training pathways that support industry and develop employment opportunities for Māori in Canterbury.
The trade training programme was launched by The Minister of Māori Affairs, Hon Dr Pita Sharples and Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere, Mark Solomon. At the announcement both patrons spoke with immense pride and expressed excitement about the new trade training programme.
The training is available at a number of different levels (novice, semi-skilled, skilled and re-training) and the exMāori trade trainees will support course participants.
Solomon says the course is a great way for Māori to take on an important role in the Christchurch rebuild.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu are very proud to be part of this kaupapa and encourage you to consider if there is anyone in your whānau or network who might be interested in this opportunity. If you or someone in your whānau is interested contact CPIT’s Centre of Māori and Pasifika Achievement on 0800 24 24 76.
“I believe trade training certificates are as valuable now as they were in the 60s. A young person who receives their trade qualifications today can go on to be an industry

Quit smoking - for yourself and your children’s sake Quitting smoking is definitely worth it, especially if you have children, says a Christchurch mother. Alesha McIvor says she began smoking at the age of 15, mainly because her friends were doing it. Discovering she was pregnant three years later motivated her to quit. Now 19 years old and a devoted mother to Millie-Jane, aged 13 months, she says it was something her own mother said that prompted her decision to get rid of cigarettes from her life for good. “She used to say that when we were in her tummy it was her choice to smoke, not ours. So when she was pregnant she quit. I remembered that and thought I would do the same.” Alesha says when she smoked she would wake up every morning congested in her throat and chest. That disappeared soon after quitting and she began to feel fitter and healthier than she had in years. “When Millie-Jane was a few months old I went out one night and had a couple of cigarettes and I felt like rubbish the next day. And I didn’t want her smelling me like that. I decided to never do it again.” The hardest part about quitting smoking is breaking old habits. She and her former partner used to have a cigarette together every night after dinner. Alesha sees changing routines like that as the most important part of quitting. “If you have a smoke with your coffee in the morning, maybe try to avoid having that coffee, as it will only
make you think of smoking. Do something different. Get a new routine.” She believes it is vital to find something else to fill the time you previously spent smoking. Alesha particularly wants to encourage parents to quit smoking. “If you have got kids really try to quit because the kids don’t like it and it is not good for them,” she says. Canterbury Smokefree Co-ordinator Vivien Daley says Canterbury calls to Quitline are down from 14 percent to nine percent since the February 22 earthquake and anecdotal feedback from General Practice teams and quit organisations is that some ex-smokers have started smoking again. “This is very worrying but an understandable trend given what we’ve all been through in the last nine months.” Most smokers who had quit before the quakes will probably be regretting starting again, especially when times are tight and smoking is so costly, she says. Vivien challenges smokers not to let the earthquakes win - and to remember how good it felt to be a non-smoker. “Quitting cold turkey can be difficult for many people who smoke. Using NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy) patches, gum or lozenges doubles the chances of successfully quitting and with support from services like Aukati KaiPaipa and Quitline people are up to five times more likely to succeed.”

Laura Vernon was part of the February 2011 Aoraki Bound course. Travelling around Te Waipounamu Laura made new connections to whānau and walked in the footsteps of our tūpuna hearing their stories where they happened.

Guided through the night by New Zealand’s television journalist Mike McRoberts, over 200 of our Christchurch whānau enjoyed an evening of glitter and glam, scrumptious food, stunning entertainment and inspiring company. Old and young were seen swaying in time to the beautiful melodies of Sista Waitoa, while others brave enough to venture onto the dance floor, showed us their extensive repertoire of dance moves to the funky sounds of Ardijah, Descendanz, and Aire. It was a night for our Christchurch whānau to put aside the stress and tension of the past few months and to kick back and have some fun.
Puaka Kai Rau, Matariki Gala Dinner After another week of yet more reminders of the power of Rüaumoko, celebrating Matariki, a time of renewal and rejuvenation, took on a whole new meaning for the whānau in Christchurch. This year, with the very generous support of Te Puni Kökiri, we held an evening to give formal recognition, remembrance and appreciation of local Mäori, volunteers and contributors to the Christchurch earthquake Mäori recovery effort.
Thank you Te Puni Kökiri for providing our whānau with this koha aroha!

Pānui The Dalai Lama Visits Ötautahi With great honor Ngāi Tahu welcomed His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Ötautahi. The Dali Lama visited on 8 June and offered his prayers and support for the people of Christchurch, particularly for those families who lost someone in the February earthquake. Thousands of people gathered at the CBS Canterbury Arena, Addington, for the prayer service and public talk. The Dalai Lama shared with the audience the importance of inner peace and through unity of the people, Christchurch will be able to advance from the devastations of both the September and February earthquakes.
