Nā te Kaiwhakahaere I encourage all whānau to contact their rūnanga if they would like to be involved in the Rūnanga discussions and decisions about elections. Soon we will be seeking whānau feedback on the role of governors, and governance, as part of the form and function review. This is another opportunity to have your say, and more information will follow. It has been more than 20 years since the formation of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and it is timely for us to review, Whāia te pae tawhiti kia tata, refine and enhance our current Whāia te pae tata, kia maua kia tina, governance structures and processes haumi e, hui e, tāiki e! to better support best practice and Tākarohia te whetū, tākarohia te performance of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi marama .

The Forum is a great nominations have been received they place for Iwi to come together and will be published on the Ngāi Tahu discuss key kaupapa affecting māori. website.

In the lead up to the General Election it was important that we also provided a strong voice to politicians who attended on the final day, on the aspirations of Iwi katoa. I also attended the opening of the Pita Te Hori site in central Ōtautahi and it was a pleasure to speak on behalf of Ngāi Tūāhuriri and Ngāi Tahu. The opening was a great opportunity to showcase the work of Ngāi Tahu Property and the building was officially opened by Charlie Crofts and Tā Tipene O’Regan. The Pita Te Hori site has a rich spiritual, historical and cultural significance to Ngāi Tahu as it sat on the edge of the Puari Pā, an important mahinga kai and kāika nohoaka on the banks of the Ōtākaro (Avon) River. Uncle Charlie also learnt to salute at the site when it was an army barracks. I encourage all whānau to check out the site if you are in the area. On 17 August, I participated in the First Nations Future Programme workshop speaking with the 2017 cohort and in the afternoon attended a Form & Function Working Group hui at Te Rūnanga. Te Here and Te Apārangi meetings where held on 18 August and then in the evening Te Rūnanga attended a dinner and presentation from Strategy and Influence on climate change. Our Te Rūnanga hui on the 19th was very productive; it was good to take in and take part in the robust debate that took place. The following days’ wānanga was shorter than normal, but the quality of the discussion was valuable. I hope you have all had a chance to read Nā Te Rūnanga to read highlights from the Te Rūnanga hui. At the end of August, I also attended a Takutai Moana consultation hui in Kaikōura. As you may be aware, on 31 March 2017 Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu applied to engage directly with the Crown and the High Court to seek recognition of the rights and interests of Ngāi Tahu whānui in the coastal marine area.

These applications were made under the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act, 2011. The applications made by Te Rūnanga allow the opportunity for Ngāi Tahu whānui to secure and protect their customary rights and interests under the Act, if they so choose. To clarify whether whānau would like Te Rūnanga to support them in seeking recognition of their rights and interests provided for under the Act, Te Rūnanga has been undertaking hui across the takiwā to hear your view.

If you have any queries on this kaupapa please email: Takutai@ ngaitahu.iwi.nz. Te Rūnanga staff and governors have also been busy representing Ngāi Tahu, attending roadshows to show our whānau the wonderful work we are engaged in, in supporting whanau and our Papatipu Rūnanga. The response has been very positive. Te Rūnanga has hosted 11 roadshows across Aotearoa and Australia.

More than 1800 whānau members atteneded all up, and more than 600 people registering and signing up with Whai Rawa and Whakapapa. During the roadshows we’ve also been able to provide significant support to our taurahere groups. As always, if you have any questions for me or the office please email me on kaiwhahahere@ngaitahu.iwi.nz or ring 0800 KAITAHU (0800 524 824).

Ko te rika toi i whakamanahia ai 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 will be able to gain some insight into the artwork depicted on the front page and into the life of the person who created this work of art. Get in touch if you would like to know more, or would like to submit a piece of artwork yourself. You can reach Te Pānui Rūnaka editor at tepanui@ngaitahu.iwi.nz.

September 2017 cover artist Rakapa Sturm celebrated her 85th birthday back in July but, at an age where most would be slowing down, she is one kuia who continues to gear up. The cover art of Te Pānui Rūnaka this month is a result of her boundless energy – despite never having attempted artwork before, unless we count primary school. Rakapa (Ngāi Tahu ki te Whanganui-a-Tara me Te Taumutu Rūnanga) says she has always enjoyed reading the monthly Ngāi Tahu newsletter and often wondered why it so often asked for artwork to be sent in. Then, one day, while observing two tūī filling their puku in a tree directly outside her windows, an idea came to her (“I’m always coming up with ideas, you see!”). She would embark on a series of artworks to illustrate native birds synonymous with Te Waipounamu land and seascapes. “I’ve never done anything like that, but I wanted to celebrate our native bird life. I thought: ‘I’m a bit old for this sort of thing, aren’t I?’. But then, of course, I gave it a crack. And I was very happy with my series, especially the kōtuku.” She also completed pieces portraying tūī, the moa, tōroa and kea. She worked with mixed mediums and sketched from library books for inspiration. Rakapa says she has lived a “chequered life”, much of it overseas including in Germany, Canada, Chicago, Boston and Hawaii. She was partially educated at Te Waipounamu Girls’ College then went on to teachers’ training college in the North Island. She also spent time up the Whanganui River with her mother’s whanaunga but has ultimately always returned to Lower Hutt, where much of her whānau reside. She says she is delighted to share her art with Ngāi Tahu whānui and hopes native birds will be recognised more and more in the future. “The birds have their own story of Te Waipounamu and of Ngāi Tahu. Our birds need to be recognised, for they are as important as our own tūpuna. They are a taonga in their own right.” 3

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae Kia ora Kāi Tahu whānui, ko tēnei te mihi ki a koutou katoa.

Well, I’m so excited it’s September – roll on the whitebaiting! I can’t wait for whānau to gather around a hot pot of kai, waiting for these little fish to flow into our nets. Let’s hope they come in abundance for all of us. Merry whitebait season whānau!

Paparoa Range Kura

August saw three schools from the Paparoa Range visit the marae – Dobson and Blackball with an extended invitation to Kūmara school. It was a fantastic turnout with just over 120 tamariki visiting Arahura Marae for the day. Forty also got to spend the night on the marae. It was a great experience for them all, teachers and parents included and it was a pleasure to have hosted them all.

Whenua Iti Outdoors course

Experiential education is the basis of the Whenua Iti Outdoors experience. Using the challenges of the outdoors and natural resources, it offers opportunities for participants to learn about themselves, about others and about the natural environment. The Whenua Iti Outdoors kaupapa achieves positive change by focusing on: • • • •

Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio Kāi Tahu whānui, tēnā koutou katoa! Nei rā te mihi o Kāti Māhaki ki a koutou katoa. Nei rā hoki te mihi aroha, te mihi poroporoaki ki kā mate huhua 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 ā rātou, tātou anō ki a tātou. Tēnā anō tātou katoa! Ka haere mai te wā kōhaka! Hopefully, it’s not a case of wishful thinking but spring has sprung here on Poutini – long may it last! Kā Tiritiri o te Moana and Aoraki are still looking spectacular cloaked in hukapapa, but the air is definitely feeling warmer.

Whānau and staff who attended the kiwi hui.

We have had another busy month here on Poutini with the usual round of komiti hui and meetings keeping us extra busy. We were pleased to host a kiwi hui at our marae, focusing on Rowi and Tokoeka but within the National Kiwi Recovery Plan. This was a useful exercise in establishing our aspirations for these endangered kiwi species and to review and re-establish our guiding principles that will drive the operation plan. There have also been a series of hui and wānanga held to gather information and whakaaro in relation to the Westland-Tai Poutini National Park Plan. This is one of four plans our rūnanga will have some input into and is first cab off the rank, along with the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park Plan. There is a lot of work required in pulling together our narrative, which will guide the whole plan; this mahi is being capably coordinated by Hinerangi Apanui-Barr.

Above and below: Westland Tai Poutini National Park Plan hui.

This is an exciting piece of work and an excellent opportunity to consider our aspirations and to identify the kōrero we want written into the national park landscape.

Review of Westland Tai Poutini National Park Plan

Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio, with support from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, is currently working with the Department of Conservation (DoC) on the review of the Westland Tai Poutini National Park. The area includes Kā Tiritiri o te Moana to the Poutini Coast including Ōkārito, Kā Roimata o Hinehukatere (Franz Josef Glacier), Noti Hinetamatea (the Copland Pass) and Karangarua. The review of the park plan is a great opportunity for Kāti Māhaki to reflect on its presence in the area and consider its future plans and priorities for the rohe. More than 90 percent of the whenua in the takiwā of Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio is owned or managed by DoC within the national park.

On Saturday, 2 September, Kāti Māhaki hosted the second wānanga with DoC and Ngāi Tahu staff at Ōkārito – an important settlement site, pātaka kai and place of learning. Having the hui at this special place helped sharpen our focus. Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio is keen to ensure we are able to access our kaitiaki rights as well as increase our presence in the region. We also visited a nohoanga site at Ōkārito where the team paced out the perimeter – while some got distracted picking tuaki with their toes! The Ōkārito community also organised a coffee catch up with everyone on the Sunday at the local kayak business.The community are enthusiastic about working with Kāti Mahaki and it was a great way to end the weekend. The draft park plan is due to be completed later this year and will go out for public consultation early next year. If you have any queries about the park plan review, please contact the office or me directly on aiocoms@gmail.com Na, Hinerangi Apanui-Barr

First day of Spring – Whitebait season opens

Whānau have been getting rather excited about the first day of spring, or better known on the West Coast as the first day of the whitebait season. Nets have been prepared and ready with everyone waking up to a warm sunny morning in anticipation of what this year’s catch will bring!

Poutini Kāi Tahu Kapa Haka – Te Atakura 2017

Whānau recently came together at Arahura Marae for a first hui to discuss the kaupapa of a Poutini Kāi Tahu kapa haka rōpū for Te Atakura 2017. We talked over waiata and which waiata everyone wanted to learn. Practise will be from 6pm-7.30pm every Thursday, alternating between Arahura Marae and possible Poutini Waiora in Hokitika. Whānau living away have asked that we get up a Facebook page so they can learn from afar. The name of the page is Te Atakura – Poutini Kāi Tahu 2017.

Each week there will be new videos/waiata words and I will let the whānau know we will be doing live practises. So stayed tuned!

Wairewa Rūnanga Whanaungatanga wānanga update

We held a very successful first wānanga for Wairewa whānui over the first weekend of September. About 40 whānau came out to Little River at various times over the weekend, with 14 mokopuna lighting up the place. The coming wānanga we have planned promises to be very exciting and rewarding in knowledge, skills and so much more sharing and caring for one another. These wānanga and bringing the people back to the marae signals a much brighter future for Wairewa Rūnanga and its company, Te Kete o Wairewa. This first wānanga was simply an opportunity to come back to the marae, meet new faces and reconnect with the old. There is so much more to gain through the next wānanga, so please, come one and all. The next wānanga dates are: • • • • •

Ōnuku Rūnanga Flooding at Ōnuku Marae

With the heavy rain around Akaroa over 13-14 August, the flood water got into Ōnuku Marae. The water came down the road and caused extensive damage to the wharekai and kitchen. Thanks to the quick thinking of kaumātua Bruce Rhodes and whānau, the water was contained before it reached the wharenui. Unfortunately we have had to remove the existing flooring in the wharekai, kitchen and hallway because of the water damage. The marae is closed while repairs take place. Our plan is to have the marae open again on the 15 September. We would like to acknowledge Bruce Rhodes, and the whānau at Ōnuku for all their mahi protecting our marae from further damage.

Ara architecture students visit Ōnuku

Three months ago, we received a request from Ara Institute of Technology student, Hayley Elkins. The architecture major wanted to meet to discuss the possibility of a day visit to Ōnuku Marae with her class and her lecturers (Dennis Winter, Bernadette Muir, Hamish Shaw, Diane Burgess and Belfiore Bologna). She hoped she, her peers and lecturers might learn about our history, and why we build and design our whare a certain way. The visit took place three weeks ago and it was a great day enjoyed by our whānau and the students. We especially thank architect Perry Royal, who came for the day to share his knowledge and wisdom with the students. Our home team on the day included Mel Tainui and Pere Tainui (who together shared our history) and kaumātua Bruce Rhodes and George Tainui added much to the day. Meri Robinson did a great job as ringawera feeding us all. A real highlight for us were the concept designs students created for a new wharf at Ōnuku, based on our history. It was amazing to see what they came up with.

Ara architecture student reports back

Ara Institute of Canterbury Bachelor of Architecture third year students were recently treated to an amazing day trip to Ōnuku Marae. The day was created jointly by students, faculty and the marae to introduce Māori culture, traditions, and values into the current students’ design process. Underlying this short-term goal was a vision to develop a relationship between the school and marae to enrich the architectural curriculum with embedded bicultural sensitivity and inspiration. The experience far exceeded those goals, the marae speakers opened their hearts and shared stories of their history, families, the land and themselves. Their generosity and warmth hit just the right notes with the 30 or so design students who later had the chance to put what they learnt to good use developing design concepts for a new wharf at Ōnuku. While the day was a great success, of greater importance are the connections made, the lasting learning, the new respect and the possibility of future partnership between the school and Ōnuku. Ngā mihi, Hayley Elkins (student)

Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga Well, how are you all doing? Fine I hope, as I hear some are not doing so well, but are keeping up with everything. Condolences to all who have lost loved ones. Cheer up, be happy – love to you all. Well, the news is that our wharenui is out of action just now – getting the new look. Hope to be finished in time for Hui-ā-Iwi in November and of course our Māori Boy boss from Farrell Construction, Carl Crofts, is ruling the roost. Of course you know that is cuzzy Charlie and Mere Crofts’ son, our nephew (yippee). So Koral and the staff are packing marae dishes, linen and what not away to make more room for the events to come. I haven’t been up the marae very much this month as I have been home, doing nothing. I miss running around the marae doing things, but I suppose when all this is finished we will probably have robot workers hahaha. You know, turn the switch on and say go? (Koral will probably cross that piece out) (*Note from Koral… I wouldn’t dare!). Nevermind, our marae is still wonderful even though our groundsman (Rex) is on holiday – but he still goes up there every day, nosing. We are still having Health Day but we have it at Ōhoka and that’s a bit far to walk. Well, I think that’s all for now. Maybe more news next time OK cousin Toko, jack your ideas up and get cracking! Let’s go to housie or the casino. Koral and Crete will drop us off but we will have to go around whānau for koha. What do you say cuz Charles? Cheers for now, till next time. Oh, and happy birthday to Ngawini, lots of love. Love you all K.K.K. xxx 11

Reuben family reunion, July 2017

•

Commitment - The strong whānau has a sense of being a team. It has an identity and unity

•

Appreciation - Whānau members help each other feel good about themselves, self-esteem is bolstered

•

Communication - The strong whānau spends time talking and listening. Whānau members feel closer and less isolated

•

Time together - The strong whānau eats, works, plays and talks together. Obligation to and involvement in outside demands on time and energy are eliminated so that time with the whānau is not lost

•

We celebrated the life of our father and poua on the 50th anniversary of his pāssing and all attended a service conducted by cousin Philip Harris. We remembered his army service, his love for his cousins he grew up with on the pā and his love of Italian music.

Coping skills - The strong whānau sees something positive in times of crises. Members pull together are flexible, draw on strengths from friends and extended whānau in these times

•

Spiritual health - This is a unifying force that enables whānau members to reach out in love and compāssion to others.

The sharing of our Reuben and Flutey whakapāpā gave many a deeper understanding of our connection across many hapū, and strengthened the importance of our place of belonging - of where we call home – our pā, Tuahiwi.

The striving towards all of the above was the theme throughout our reunion and will carry on for all future meetings with our whānau and extendLeaf1320 ed whānau. We want you all to know that you are loved, and will always be loved.

After many months of planning our whānau came together at our marae in Tuahiwi. Many travelled from afar including Australia, Chatham Islands and all over Aotearoa. Our reunion created an opportunity for all to reconnect, share memories and a time for our younger generations to learn about our Reuben and Flutey whakapāpā, and about our hapū and marae connections. Evenings were spent with aunties and uncles sharing their memories of growing up on the pā - these kōrero continued long into the night, laughter being a common thread throughout. We acknowledged our high achievers who have represented New Zealand in sport and those who have achieved in academia; so many to be proud of.

The final day of our hui members of our extended Reuben, Flutey and Moody whānau joined us, reinforcing whakapāpā links that will never be severed. We created many precious memories that will be forever with us, and now that it is all done we can look forward to the next. But not before we give special thanks to our beautiful whānau who came together as one, to the ageless Aunty Noeline for just being who she is and what she represents to so many of us, cousins Morehu, Arapāta and Philip for your knowledge, expertise and time, kia ora koutou! We would also like to share the kōrero that one of our Taua gave to the whānau; we think it perfectly illustrates just what our weekend was all about. “What makes a strong whānau? Psychologists, researchers and other such erudite people have considered this question at length. It appears that all of their research can be pāraphrased into six points, which highlight the qualities of a strong family (whānau). As this is a record of our whānau it is appropriate for us to look at these qualities to consider them and to ask ourselves the question. 12

AOTEAROA by Lesel Flutey Where my Tupuna once did stand I chose to sit to be close to the land At that very moment it felt so strong Connecting to the whenua I was right where I belong I looked around and what did I see Our inheritance, our heritage Was right in front of me The beauty I saw was hard to explain A karakia ensued I acknowledged the terrain I heard them whisper in my ear Turituri Wahine I had to be quiet so I could hear In the distance a familiar sound The fierceness of a haka That almost shook the ground I could hear a waiata I heard every note My soul knew this song

So this is what I wrote I thought of battles, lost and fought Of land being taken, sold and bought Life that lived and blood that spilled Man that came and man that killed Our wairua our breath of life The struggles, the hardship and the strife The language of the land and of the sea The riches of a humble man given for free The omens, the messengers, traditions and lore The culture, the history with Mana at our core Now it’s up to the generations that are alive To continue this legacy and not to let it die Our little nation, reliable and steadfast The history, the significant of our staunch past This is where my tupuna stood proud Aotearoa the land of the long white cloud

Our congratulations to all the whānau who have welcomed a pēpi.

Rā whānau

Happy birthday to everyone celebrating recent birthdays.

Rūnanga news

This month we had the pleasure of the Senior and Junior classes of Glenavy School attending the marae over two days.

Kapa haka wānanga

Above and below: Our manuhiri from Glenavy School at the marae.

The idea of having a kapa haka wānanga was led by whānau who were wanting their mokopuna to engage and connect with Waihao Marae. Timua Brennan and her whānau travelled from Rotorua to be able to share their knowledge and expertise in the art of kapa haka, taiaha, poi and waiata with our rangatahi. This also gave the rangatahi an opportunity to connect with each other, whakawhanaungatanga and to learn in a culturally safe environment. To date two of the four scheduled wānanga have been held, with the next two scheduled for September 15-17 and Oct 13-15. Any rangatahi that are interested in attending can contact the office for more information.

Manu Tukutuku Day

Waihao Marae hosted a Manu Tukutuku Wānanga (Kite Building Workshop) thanks to a grant from Creative New Zealand.

During the day the Te Ana Māori Rock Art Centre staff continued work on a large manu tukutuku that will be displayed here at the marae. Everyone enjoyed watching Carmel and Wes at work on the kite, and getting the opportunity to ask questions about the cultural significance. In conjunction with this project Wes kindly shared his creative skills and knowledge with the public so they could create their own smaller versions. Adults and children alike had a wonderful time learning new skills and all managed to create fantastic, yet different, kites to take home.

Congratulations

In August, Liam Tamati Allen Stoneley was admitted to the roll of barristers and solicitors of the High Court of New Zealand in Auckland. It was a very proud moment for his whānau and friends after all his years of hard work. Tumeke! We thank everyone who supported Liam over the past 25 years in his endeavours.

Manu Tukutuku Day.

Liam is the son of Michael and Pamela Stoneley of Blenheim and descends from the Stokes/Heath whakapapa. He went to school in Blenheim and attended Marlborough Boys College where he was deputy Head Boy. Graduating from the University of Canterbury with his degrees, he tackled a year of study at Fudan University in Shanghai, China. He became conversant in mandarin before starting work this February at a firm in Auckland where he is practicing corporate law. Chapman Tripp support and encourage Liam to maintain his te reo Māori and mandarin language as well as providing him with a great work environment.

Te Rūnanga o Moeraki Moeraki marae closed

The marae kitchen is still undergoing redevelopment and will stay closed for the renovations. We are progressing well and the kitchen is almost completely lined and ready for the new equipment to be brought in. During the full period of the build there will be absolutely no access to the site – this is for health and safety reasons.

Rūnanga office

The rūnanga office is now open again and staff are enjoying the new refurbishments and insulation – especially on these cold spring days. There are just a few last bits and pieces to finish and tidy up. The images on the right are of our renovations.

Congratulations

Congratulations to our Moeraki Upoko David Higgins for being named an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to Māori.

As the Arowhenua Board member of the Ngāi Tahu Māori Trust Board, he gathered and presented much of the fisheries evidence presented to the Waitangi Tribunal as part of the Ngāi Tahu claim. He helped lead the Ngāi Tahu Fishing Company, was Pou Kura Taiao for the Department of Conservation’s Canterbury Conservancy and helped establish the Ngāi Tahu Cultural Mapping project. He is a member of the Ngāi Tahu Fund Komiti, is a past member of the Ngāi Tahu Contracts Review Komiti and was a Trustee and Chair of the historic Kaiapoi Pā Trust. David is also a member of the Rūnanga Education Komiti and an education advisor to North Otago schools.

Rā whānau

Happy Birthday to all celebrating this month.

Shooting for the stars

Moeraki was well-represented at the recent World Indigenous People’s Conference on Education. Rose Whitau co-presented on Shooting Stars, an initiative aimed at lifting student retention, engagement and achievement of indigenous Australian girls through netball across six communities in Western Australia. Shooting Stars is a ‘Sport for Development and Peace’ (SDP) programme; it uses sport as a tool to achieve development outcomes. While there are hundreds of SDP programmes around the world, Shooting Stars is the only one with an indigenous research methodology. It has developed a unique longitudinal study for the programme in the form of Yarning Circles, instead of the more traditional survey system. The Yarning Circles serve a dual purpose; they enable evaluation of the progress and efficacy of the programme and provide a platform for communities and participants to drive the direction and content of their local programme.

Keri Dee, Keri Haydon and Moeraki Upoko David Higgins.

Nola Tipa presented three initiatives, including Kaitoko Mātauraka and Tahua Taunaki Akonga (Learner Support) on behalf of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. She also independently presented her Master’s research: ‘The Added Value of Providing Authentic Cultural Experiences to Non-Indigenous Education Facilitators’. Kaitoko Mātauraka are education facilitators employed by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu who are based out in the regions with Papatipu Rūnanga. Their role is to support the achievement of educational aspirations and goals identified by whānau and Papatipu Rūnanga. Tahua Taunaki Akonga is an initiative aimed at supporting education for students aged 5 – 18. Whānau can apply for extra tuition for their tamaiti/tamariki – remedial, extension or tutoring for NCEA once every financial year. The tuition is complementary to what schools offer and is usually completed in a 10 week block 1 – 1 with an experienced provider.

View over the Moeraki urupa, where our local schools volunteered with native plantings around the section.

For more information, please find this initiative on www. ngaitahu.iwi.nz/whanau/opportunities Nola’s Master’s research investigated shifts in cultural practice for non-indigenous facilitators involved in a professional learning and development initiative called Mau ki te Ako. This initiative was rolled out across the Ngāi Tahu takiwā in collaboration with Te Tapuae o Rehua, The University of Otago, The University of Canterbury and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

Congratulations

Nāia te mihi atu ki a Kelly Whitau, Kaipūtaiao/Scientist, te tamāhine a Gregory rāua ko Wendy Whitau, he mokopuna ia nā Whiti Ora rāua ko Beverley. Kelly is passionate about conserving native species, especially our forest birds, and is a keen proponent of kaitiakitaka to protect these species however we can. Moeraki and te whānau Whitau are proud of Kelly who achieved an A+ for her Masters Thesis (University of Canterbury) investigating the various effects of pest control on native birds and introduced mammals in Nelson beech forests. Koia kai a koe Kelly!

Waihōpai Rūnaka Kia ora koutou whānau, I think I missed a month but never mind we are all still here in Waihōpai and moving along so fast our wheelchairs are burned out.

Pio Terei was here for Family Planning, I had asked Mohi Timoti to do the pōwhiri but I understand Joe Clark did it for us, all good. Well, whānau have a great month. To all our birthday whānau may you have a very happy birthday, congratulations to you all and we wish you well. To the new babies amongst us this month, huge congratulations to the mums and dads.

Gorgeous pēpi, Vera Dorrie Moana Kelly born 21 June at Whakatipu/Queenstown.

Hui at Ōtākou

The marae is being well utilised with hui on numerous kaupapa. On 31 August, we hosted the Marine Science hui, supported by the Dunedin Māori Health Workforce Development Unit. Hapū members often support hui in volunteer roles such as ringawera and kaimahi, groundsmen, cleaners and office administration.

Please email names, number of children and contact details to: weteretekahureunion@gmail.com to register your interest. Registration forms will be sent out later in the year. 25

Ringawera Julz Asher and kaimahi Anne Robertson provide manaakitanga and kai through the wharekai to the students taking part on the Marine Science two day noho marae.

Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka Kia ora whānau,

At the time of writing we are due to hold a working bee at Te Kōawa Tūroa o Takitimu. This is a joint effort with the Te Anau Department of Conservation Staff. We appreciate the offer from the Department to work collaboratively on this beautiful culturally significant site.

As we bask in the warm weather here in the deep south we welcome the arrival of spring and the new life that it brings. So to those of you who are gardeners, it’s time to get cracking as the growing season is nearly upon us! The last month has been a fairly hectic one with a variety of hui and events. There have been opportunities for whānau representation on various committees, at exhibitions and on bird transfers. If you are not already aware, we have many diverse things going on. So if you or any of your whānau are interested in becoming more involved in the work of the rūnaka please do not hesitate to contact us here at the office for more information.

The unveiling of the Poupou at Whenua Hou took place on 2 September. We hope to have a more comprehensive report of this significant event next month. The whitebait season is now well underway and reports from the awa are varied. Mind you, it’s not always all about the fishing! Sometimes It’s nice to spend a few hours out on the river bank. As you are probably aware, we now own a whitebait stand on the Aparima River. This is available to registered whānau to use through a booking system. If you’d like to try your luck, please contact us here at the office.

Over the last month, we have seen a number of different groups utilise Takutai o Te Tītī Marae including: Fiordland College, the Takahē hui and a number of whānau-based gatherings. In the forthcoming month, we have the first of the whakairo wānaka and the Te Reo me Ōna Tikaka wānaka starting. Alistair Fraser will also give a Taonga Puoro presentation. It is lovely to see so many people visiting our beautiful marae.

If you have enjoyed a birthday in the last month or have new additions to your whānau, congratulations and we wish you all good health and prosperity for the year ahead.

D Company, Māori Battalion story to be told

The 28th (Māori) Battalion consisted of four regionally based rifle companies, representative of the tribes from those regions – A, B, C and D Company.

Harawira Pearless recently came into our office seeking information on a man called Taare Reihana who enlisted in the Māori Battalion from Colac Bay. He is seeking information regarding this man, who was 22 years-old at the time of enlistment. Read below about the work that Harawira is doing:

“While an official history has been written about the 28th (Māori) Battalion, there has always been an overwhelming sense that due to the unique formation and contribution made by the men of the battalion all their voices needed to be heard,” Tata Lawton said.

Research to bring to life the story of D Company’s important role in the Second World War is underway in earnest after a launch last month in Palmerston North.

“The account is one that needs to be told from their perspectives and values – only then will their story have the mana to hold for future generations.”

“We are proud to be launching this research project in Palmerston North because this city is where the Māori Battalion was formed in 1940 and the hall is a constant reminder of the sacrifice Māoridom gave for our country,” says Tata Lawton, chair of Te Kamupene D Rua Tekau Mā Waru Trust, which has oversight of the project.

B Company is well advanced with historian, Sir Wira Gardiner, in the final stages of completing its book, which will be published next year. The history of A Company will complete the programme. D Company’s region is the largest geographically, with its northernmost boundary the Tainui boundary in south Auckland, its eastern boundary touching the Bay of Plenty, taking in the central and lower North Island, all of the South Island, Stewart Island, the Chatham Islands, as well as the Pacific.

“D Company was integral to the 28th Battalion and this new piece of work led by historian Harawira Pearless will ensure the story of its contribution is recorded for this generation and for those to come. Harawira has been charged with talking with Alfred (Bunty) Preece, of Moriori descent and living in the Chatham Islands, who is the only surviving D Company veteran. He'll also talk with whānau who have other taonga collected over the years including memorabilia, and written and photographic records,” Lawton said.

For further information, or to assist with research, contact Harawira Pearless on 027 967 1603.

Whitebait stand

Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka now own a whitebait stand on the Aparima river. The stand is available for whānau to use throughout the season and you can book this site via the office. You will also be required to read and acknowledge our whitebaiting health and safety documentation and have an induction. These forms sum up our expectations and your responsibilities as a user. This paperwork only has to be done once during the season. To be fair to everybody, bookings can only be made two weeks in advance and we will ballot out the prime tides if we have multiple requests for those periods. Those whānau who have so far used the stand have found the people from the surrounding stands to be really supportive and helpful. So come on whānau, what could be better than a few hours on the awa catching a feed of whitebait!

Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka Inc. kapa haka rōpū

Pictured are the Ōraka Aparima Kapa Haka Group at the recent Murihiku Polyfest. This magnificent celebration of Māori and Pasifika culture has really gone from strength-to-strength and now runs for a full five days. This group has worked very hard putting in hours of practice which certainly paid off with a very polished performance. Well done team and a big thank you to all!

Holiday home in Te Anau

Did you know that we have a comfortable house for whānau to rent in Te Anau, Fiordland? This property sleeps eight and is located in the heart of the town. It is within walking distance of all amenities and only a short distance from many of the tourist opportunities the region has to offer. Please contact the office for further details or to make a booking.

The Ōraka Aparima kapa haka group was splendid at the Murihiku Polyfest last month and made us very proud.

Ōraka-Aparima Rūnaka Inc Society AGM

If you are keen to play a more active role within the rūnaka please contact us here at the office to discuss the options.

Communication with whānau

If you or your whānau are moving house, please let us know at the office so we can update our database and keep in touch with you. We are also looking at ways to improve our communications with whānau and as such we are exploring different mediums to get the word out there about what is going on. Generally, we are seeking to limit the volume of email traffic we generate!

Electronic contact details have changed

Recently, Awarua Rūnaka and Te Rau Aroha Marae updated electronic details, which means staff now have new email addresses. See below for new contacts: Gail Thompson (Rūnaka manager) gail.thompson@awaruarunaka.iwi.nz or gail.thompson@ngaitahu.iwi.nz Tina Mitchell (Rūnaka administrator) tina.mitchell@awaruarunaka.iwi.nz Jacqui Gatward (marae co-ordinator/bookings) jacqui. gatward@awaruarunaka.iwi.nz or bookings@awaruarunaka.iwi.nz

Trip to Catlins

Early last month, Bubba Thompson (representing Awarua Rūnaka), Stevie-Rae Blair (Te Ao Mārama Inc.) and Ros Cole (Department of Conservation, DoC) travelled to Surat Bay in the Catlin’s to look at alternative routes for sea lions to reach their natural habitat behind the sandbanks. Their natural route has been blocked by erosion, meaning access is impossible with steep cliffs in the way.

Awarua Rūnaka Office (general enquiries) office@awaruarunaka.iwi.nz

TRoNT rep and alternate TRoNT rep

Our new representative, Gail Thompson, and alternate representative, Michael Stevens, have both attended two wānaka and one Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu meeting since taking up their respective positions in July.

The Department of Conservation required permission from local iwi to dig a route through the sandhills and options were taken back to a kaitiaki rōpū for sign-off.

They have come to the table at a significant time – vis-à-vis reviewing the form and function of the Kaiwhakahaere and Deputy Kaiwhakahaere roles – and in due course, assessing candidates for those roles. This task has been made much easier by the warm welcome Gail and Mike have received from fellow representatives and alternates and the fantastic assistance they have received from staff members, especially the highly professional secretariat team. Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou. Gail and Mike also acknowledge the kind wishes and assistance they have received from our long-serving former representative, Maria Pera, and alternate, Tā Tipene O’Regan. In addition to preTRoNT and post TRoNT hui on the marae, Gail and Mike hope to make regular use of Te Pānui Rūnaka to update Awarua whānau of their mahi. They are also currently exploring ways of connecting with whānau through social media. This recognises the geographic spread of our people and the ways in which most of us now communicate with one another,

Te Mana o Te Wai Te Mana o Ngā Tuna

Bubba Thompson represented Awarua Rūnaka at the 2017 National Tuna Conference, in Whanganui in late July. His role was to support Kāi Tahu whānau whānui who were attending the conference as presenters. Dr Jane Kitson presented on her research findings on South Island kanakana and Brendan Flack presented on environmental waterways, as well as his own personal interest in environmental issues. The hui highlighted Māori interest in fresh water fisheries and their habitats through establishing freshwater fisheries and promoting the protection and enhancement of freshwater fisheries habitat in lakes, rivers and other water bodies, particularly those that have traditionally supported iwi and whose shores have been the location of their marae.

Awarua Rūnaka /Pre-TRoNT meeting

Awarua Rūnaka meetings have recommenced as of 13 September. The idea is to incorporate Rūnaka and TRoNT business together so that interested members can come along, listen, participate and give feedback. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, 11 October at the Awarua Rūnaka office at 12 Bradshaw Street, Bluff. The meeting will commence at 6 pm. All members are welcome.

Art class ‘Beach Theme’ competition

Rūnaka staff were asked to judge artistic creations depicting beach themes. The categories fell into two age groups, 5-7 year olds and 8-10 year olds. Although all the children were winners for participating, the winners in the 5-7 year old age group were: Broughton Rouse and A.J Sinclair and Nikiah Rouse and Georgia Jenkins in the 8-10 year old group. Well done – there was certainly some thought that was put into these creations.

Beached Minke whale at Tīwai Point

Last month, members of the public came across a beached Minke whale at Tīwai Point and appropriately, notified the DoC. As this occurred in the Awarua takiwā, the rūnaka was contacted for a member to attend the recovery of the whale for scientific purposes. Bubba Thompson attended with DoC staff, Sarah Crump and Jollie Hazely. Due to the terrain, an Argo eight-wheeler was required to access the whale and carry the carcass off the beach. However, it was discovered nature had taken its natural course and the whale had been washed out to sea on the tide.

Cultural mapping presentation

When Dr Michael Stevens ran a public hui on topics relevant to Ngāi Tahu whānau that live in the Awarua takiwā, members of the Ngāi Tahu cultural mapping team were also present and gave a presentation on a Foveaux Straitcentered view of cultural mapping. What is this, you ask? This is the collecting and storing of Ngāi Tahu placenames, traditional travel routes, Māori reserved land and other areas of cultural significance on GIS (Geographical Information System). This system allows layers of information to be laid over the land, bringing the information to life and giving it greater context. The authenticity and integrity of the information has been ensured by kaumātua and marae representatives.

Educational Assistance

For all those Kāi Tahu descendants who live in the Awarua takiwā, if you need help finding out what educational services are available to you, please contact Bubba Thompson on 027 242 4364.

Pānui from Awarua Rūnaka members

If members have an item of interest they wish to share with Ngāi Tahu whānui or wish to profile Ngāi Tahu whānui who are achieving in what they are doing, please contact Tina on (03) 212 6029 or email tina.mitchell@ awaruarunaka.iwi.nz.

Awarua Rūnaka membership database

We are constantly updating our membership database at Awarua Rūnaka and have found many members’ children have had children of their own that require registering. If you are one of these people we encourage you to contact us on (03) 212 6029 or email Tina.Mitchell@awaruarunaka.iwi.nz to request registration forms. Please note if your enquiries relate to registering with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu please contact the Whakapapa Unit directly on 0800 524 8248. We also encourage those members that have changed residential or email addresses to update their details by contacting Tina on the above telephone number or email address.

Tā Tipene gets proceedings underway.

He Wānaka Tāhuhu Kōrero

The University of Otago’s Centre for Research on Colonial Culture (CRoCC), supported by the Archives Team from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, held a successful two-day history wānaka on Te Rau Aroha in mid-August. A highlight of this hui was an evening of public talks chaired by our Upoko-rūnaka, Tā Tipene, which attracted nearly 80 people. The speakers were Emeritus Professor Atholl Anderson, Professor Tony Ballantyne, Dr Michael Stevens, Helen Brown and Takerei Norton. Topics covered included the pre-Foveaux Strait backgrounds of the Newton brothers and William Wybrow; an article on Māori memory by Herries Beattie; a biographical overview of Tohi Te Marama, who is a younger brother of Teone Topi Patuki; the upcoming Tāngata Ngāi Tahu publication; and a Foveaux Straitcentred view of the cultural mapping project developed by TRoNT.

Mike outlines the life-course of Ruapuke-born Tohi Te Marama.

The engaged audience consisted of Awarua locals, some of our relatives from Ōraka-Aparima, Waihōpai and Hokonui, and a range of people from Invercargill including several waewae tapu. A supper following the talks led to vigorous conversation between presenters and attendees and a common question: when will the next series of talks be held?! Based on the obvious enthusiasm for the kaupapa, the answer is hopefully soon. Mike outlines the life-course of Ruapuke-born Tohi Te Marama.

The Office Kaumātua grants

A kaumātua grant of $308 will be paid in mid-November 2017 to all enrolled Ngāi Tahu aged 65 and older. Letters regarding the payment will be posted mid-September regarding the payment. At this stage we have around 255 people (listed below) who are enrolled on our database and therefore eligible to receive the grant but for whom we don’t have an up-to- date address. If you are able to provide any updated details for anyone listed here or if you have any queries please email info@ ngaitahu.iwi.nz or call the Contact Centre on 0800 5248428. We are aware that some of the people on this list may have passed away. If this is the case we apologise for any distress this may have caused and ask that you contact us as soon as possible so we can update our information. Kaumātua Name

E kā manu tāiko o tō tātou reo rakatira, nei rā te owha, nei rā te whakamiha ki a koutou katoa.

We were lucky to have passionate te reo Māori kaiako and kaiāwhina to guide us through the weekend. Our thanks go out to Corban, Brett, Karuna, Rawiri and Tamahou for all their hard work in the classroom and to Jeanine and Gemma for ensuring our tamariki were well looked after so our parents could concentrate on learning.

This is a reminder that the 30 June funding round has closed. The next KMK funding round closes 5.00pm Friday, 27 October. Separate contestable funding streams are available for registered Kāi Tahu individuals, whānau and groups. For more information, application conditions and to apply go to www.kmk.maori.nz/funding-overview/

Our thanks and acknowledgement go to our many whānau who came along to start their reo journey, or to give themselves a reo boost. Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawa tītī! Nā, KMK

REO O TE WĀ Language of the season

Whakataukī: Kai raro i te tui o te kaka (Hidden under the fold of the mat )

Kaupeka: Kana (Spring)

This whakataukī is a good way of putting someone in their place if they are being nosy. If someone asks where you heard a story, or who your sources are, you could use ‘kai raro i te tui o te kaka’ as a great way to say ‘I do not reveal my sources’ or ‘wouldn’t you like to know?’ In this content, ‘kaka’ is a type of matting and ‘tui’ refers to the stitching of the mat. Reference: Beattie 1920:249

Kīwaha: Nau mai, haere! (Go!) This kīwaha is a saying for the instruction ‘go’, and is recorded as such in the Te Wanikau manuscript. It is understood that it is a way of letting someone know you want them to go, leave or get out of your face. This could extend to on the sports field. Example/Hai tauira: Nau mai, haere! - Go! Get out of here! Reference: Wanikau 1890: 2

Nohoanga

We are excited to have secured a new nohoange site for Ngāi Tahu whānui. Please read on to find out where and how you can stay at nohoanga around the takiwā. Waikawa, Murihiku This nohoanga site is near the Waikawa River at Niagara, adjacent to Māngai Piri (Niagara Falls). Travelling from Tokanui, drive past the Chaslands Highway turn off and take the first left onto Manse Road. The nohoanga is situated on your left before the Niagara Falls Café. It is fully fenced with gates and is just off the Waikawa River. The site is mostly covered in regenerating native bush. There is a arpark and a number of suitable campsites. There is gorse and broom seedlings growing on site that are pulled every few months - feel free to help with clearing!

Carparking and access The site has excellent access and is also suitable for caravans and campervans, with plenty of parking. Vehicle users should always park on site - do not park for extended periods on the public road outside the site nor in a position which would impede other users’ access to and from the site.

Facilities The site has an old unusable concrete long-drop toilet on site, so nohoanga users are required to bring their own portable toilets. You must also provide their own water and take all rubbish away. There is a whitebait stand on the river; public access to this stand will not be withheld or restricted. Site restrictions Waikawa River is very close and there is high banks in some places. Falling trees are possible during high winds. Users must be responsible for their own safety and fire restrictions may apply to this area. Please contact the Department of Conservation Area Office in Invercargill to check. Dogs are only allowed by prior arrangement and written approval.

Car parking and access Vehicle access onto the nohoanga site is good although there is a slight climb, which may prove difficult for large caravans or campervans. There is plenty of parking on site. Facilities A public toilet block is located next to the nohoanga site. Nohoanga site users are also permitted to use the Lake Hāwea Holiday Park facilities, provided they approach the Camp Manager of the park and pay the standard fees ($6 casual fee per person per usage). A dumping station is also available to empty caravan or campervan toilets at a cost. Inidicate if you will use these facilities when applying for an authorisation. Facilities at the adjacent camp site will not be available for nohoanga site users over the busy Christmas and New Year period. If using the nohoanga site over this time, users will need to provide their own toilet facilities and water.

Car parking and access Access to the site may prove difficult for larger (wide) vehicles and caravans/campervans. The dirt road leading into the site is narrow and steep in some places. The public road to the site passes through farmland so stock may have access to the road. Facilities There is a public camping area adjoining the nohoanga site. There is a toilet (long drop) available for users. However, this toilet is also available for use by the general public. It is not serviced on a regular basis, so take care to ensure it remains clean and tidy. Bring your own toilet paper!

We will be sending all Whai Rawa members we currently have email addresses for – an email containing a link to the survey. The survey is short and will only take five minutes to complete. Everyone who completes it will be entered into the draw for a $500 Prezzy card or a pair of Beats By Dre headphones (in the colour of your choice!)

Make sure you get your $200* matched savings! If you haven’t saved into Whai Rawa during 2017, now is the time to save some pūtea to qualify for the 2017 Matched Savings*. All full members who save before 31December will be eligible to have up to $200* matched by Te Rūnanga, with those aged 15 and under getting $4 to every $1 saved and those aged 1664 matched at $1 to $1.

Road shows The Whai Rawa team hit the road over the last three months to attend 11 Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Road Shows across New Zealand and Australia. It’s been a successful year for these events with whānau attendance in each area being bigger than anticipated!

*Te Rūnanga matched savings and distributions are available to all members under 65 years of age (see pages 5 of the Product Disclosure Statement) and are subject to RSCT (retirement scheme contribution tax) deducted at your personal RSCT rate (see page 13-14 of the Other Material Information document at www. whairawa.com).

We have appreciated the time to be kanohi ki te kanohi with whānau – it has allowed us to gain a better understanding of what whānau expect from Whai Rawa, and how we can improve our programme to provide the best service possible.

KiwiSaver survey Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Whai Rawa Fund Limited are considering offering registered tribal members a KiwiSaver savings option. Currently, the Whai Rawa savings scheme has one fund or risk option; the Whai Rawa Conservative Fund. We’re also keen to hear your views on whether different risk or fund options would be attractive to members.

Be sure to collect your $200* matched savings for 2017! Save $200 of you own to recieve the full $200. 38

Pānui The Trust directly employs Māori apprentices and places them with host employers to undertake their on-the-job work experience. The trust provides the employment and administration involved in an apprenticeship by paying the apprentice wages, holiday pay, handling their ACC as well as leave requirements. Specialist mentoring and support is provided for both the apprentice and the employer to ensure the best possible outcomes for Māori.

Research has exciting implications for Whānau Ora Social Enterprise model For the past three years, Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu has been constructing a brand new approach to Whānau Ora that is strengthening whānau across the South Island. The approach is built on the understanding that whānau know best how to bring about positive change for themselves. Whānau Ora puts the power in the hands of the people - whānau identify aspirations, recognise their own potential and set goals to achieve meaningful outcomes.

This is just one of many examples of the positive social outcomes being achieved with tautoko from Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu.

Recent evaluations by wellbeing economics expert Professor Paul Dalziel (Lincoln University) and researcher Dr Catherine Savage (Ihi Research) shows the success of Whānau Ora has real, tangible outcomes.

The Whānau Ora commissioning agency developed an innovative approach to dealing with complex issues faced by whānau in the South Island. It invests in initiatives that provide opportunities for whānau to participate meaningfully in their culture, health, and wellbeing. From group training schemes and youth leadership camps to improved health through knowledge, fitness and lifestyle, Whānau Ora is distinguished by a strengths basis to the approach, as well as an outcomes focus.

In May 2017, the Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit at Lincoln University was contracted by Ihi Research and Development to perform a cost-benefit analysis of an initiative funded by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu. Dalziel and Savage used the He Toki Apprenticeship Trust as their research subject and found the Trust has a huge potential return on employment outcomes.

“Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu is continually improving with a focus on sustainability and coaching, capitalising on the social connection through strengthening community, targeting investment and continuing to investigate the relationships between level of investment and outcome” Pouarahi / Chief Executive of Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu, Helen Leahy says. “Quite simply, it is the most powerful expression of whānau momentum and it is being demonstrated by whānau right across Te Waipounamu. It is such a privilege to be part of this journey of change.”

Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu gearing up for the world stage Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu and a number of entities it supports will be taking part in the Social Enterprise World Forum in Ōtautahi at the end of September. This is an event for social enterprises from all over the world to come together, share wisdom, build networks and discuss creating a more sustainable future. The event attracts social entrepreneurs, policy makers, community leaders, investors, academics and will be a chance for Māori entrepreneurs and innovators to share our unique world view.

“This [evaluation] is significant, as it proves the initiative would potentially return $7 for every $1 invested” Dalziel says. In 2011, Hawkins Construction, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (now Ara Institute of Canterbury) entered into a partnership to create a pre-trade Māori trade training programme called He Toki ki te Rika. In 2014, the He Toki Apprenticeship Trust was created to build on that. He Toki is an independent, not-for-profit trust that supports trainees through their apprenticeships.

The World Forum will be held in Christchurch and includes local champions, Te Rūnanga o Koukourārata, Kākano Café and Ngā Hau e Whā marae and other whānau in support.

Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu is open for applications! Wave 7 is open whānau have a chance to make applications until 29 September – next week! 39

Hākui

Hākui: Women of Kāi Tahu is an exhibition at the Canterbury Museum that celebrates the lives and legacies of respected Kāi Tahu wāhine as seen from the perspective of kā uri whakatipu (today’s generation). The term hākui is an acknowledgement of respect and a form of address to a female elder and is also mother in the Kāi Tahu dialect. The exhibition celebrates mothers, aunties, grandmothers, great aunts, great grandmothers and tūpuna wāhine. Fifty women are profiled in the exhibition and their achievements shared through taoka (treasured objects), photographs and memories. Visitors are invited to share memories of the women in their own lives, to step into ‘Aunty’s kitchen’ and to try their hand at plaiting kāwai kete (flax bag handles).

Nāia te mihi maioha ki a koe e whai ana te mātauranga o ō tātou tīpuna. Ekea kā tiritiri o te moana! We are now taking applications! Please read on to see how you can become part of the amazing kaupapa that is Aoraki Bound in 2018.

*Correction: In August, Te Pānui Rūnaka stated this exhibition would be at the Ngāi Tahu Hui-ā-Iwi in Tuahiwi in November. This was not correct - the exhibition will stay at the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, where whānau will be able to view.

The place of Aoraki in Ngāi Tahu culture is significant; the mountain is a symbol of our mana (prestige and character) and as a people we look to its lofty heights with respect and for inspiration. Aoraki Bound is a cultural and personal development programme, which draws on this relationship. The haerenga begins in Anakiwa (Queen Charlotte Sounds), then towards the Arahura, to finish at the feet of our maunga tīpuna, Aoraki. The 20-day programme is developed and delivered by Outward Bound and Ngāi Tahu. It includes the physical, task-orientated, intense group focus of Outward Bound, as well as the cultural components of Ngāi Tahu/Kāi Tahu reo, haka, waiata, kōrero, pōwhiri and wāhi tapu/ tohu whenua.

Aoraki Bound alumni

Earlier this month, Kupe Watch from the March 2008 Aoraki Bound kaupapa gathered again at Te Kōhaka o Tūhaitara, Woodend for our 9th annual reunion. We have a strong connection to this place; over Labour Weekend in 2013, we began planting a Kupe 2008 biota node (a planting of native species surrounding a pool), which is part of the long-term restoration of the Tūhaitara Coastal Reserve. Check out this link for more information on the restoration project: http://www. tuhaitarapark.org.nz/ It was a bittersweet hui; just over a year ago one of our watch, Tracey Weymss, paddled her waka into the great beyond. At Tracey’s life celebration, her friends and whānau donated over $1000 to Te Kōhaka o Tūhaitara trust. This was used to install a seat at the entrance to the coastal park complete with a tin whistle (the instrument we most remember her playing) and a piece of pounamu that would make Tracey proud. Two of her Christchurch based friends joined us for the seat unveiling and to share memories.

Tracey's seat and her watch mates from Kupe, March 2008 rōpū.

Next time you are out that way, sit a while on Tracey’s seat, turn your gaze to Maukatere and “feel the sun on your back and the smile on your face”
