might recommend that we put in writing a clearer list of investment constraints, such as ensuring all our investment managers abide by certain policy positions in respect to the underlying investment, level of exposure, and no go areas etc, and meet specified reporting, monitoring and review standards. What we are doing is ensuring that our investment philosophy and approach continues to be followed by those we authorise to manage our investments. It is an approach that dovetails with other changes we have been making to strengthen our commercial entities such as appointing experienced and specifically skilled directors to oversee the operations of the subsidiaries. The implementation of any new policies will involve Ngāi Tahu Holdings Corporation, which will also assess the implications of any potential changes. In many respects, this exercise, although it seems complex, is no more or less important than revisiting the family budget. We ask ourselves the same questions. Are we saving enough? Are we spending too much or too little? Do we have the appropriate household spending rules in place? Are our investments and assets performing well enough to meet our present and future needs? Our big advantage is that we have very well qualified advisors sitting with us to help us make these decisions – not something that the average family has at their disposal. So my assessment is that this is a worthy exercise and the outcome will be a tightening and strengthening of our overall approach to investment.

One of the important tasks that Te Rūnanga has initiated in recent time is a review of our tribal investment policies. A decision paper is expected shortly with input from the committee of experts that we have engaged to help us with this task. The experts are Sandy Maier (chair), James Ogden, David Moore and David Shand. Together they form Te Rūnanga’s Investment Advisory Subcommittee. Each member brings their specialist skills to the task of helping Te Rūnanga make investment decisions and we are fortunate to be able to draw on their expertise and professional experience. Between them, these advisors have many years experience in banking, public finance, investment management as well as their vast directorship experience. Last month Te Rūnanga received a presentation from the committee that began by underscoring the value of our traditional investment goals, including those of being an inter-generational investor, making investments in areas where we do have already or can create a competitive advantage, and providing an appropriate level of distribution on an annual basis. From these robust principles, the Investment Advisory Subcommittee wants us to make sure that we reinforce some “industry standard” ground rules for our respective investments. Of course, these rules in many cases are already in place but the whole idea of a review is to revisit the rules and ensure they are gauged appropriately. To give an example of what I mean, the committee

and Joe Henry. On 22 February at the Villa Maria College High Achievers’ Assembly, Katie Jayne was the first recipient of a new award, Iho Pūmanawa, presented to the highest Māori academic achiever at the college. In terms of the award, Iho Pūmanawa means role model or exemplar and was named to acknowledge the recipients talents and whakapapa.

Katie Jayne is a Year 12 student with aspirations to further her education and pursue a career in journalism or media studies. Outside of her academic pursuits, she is involved in kapa haka and enjoys sports, playing indoor and outdoor netball and volleyball. Ka mau te wehi Katie Jayne! Kua tutuki pai tēnei wero, whaia tonu koe te iti kahauraki! Kāti Māhaki ki Makaawhio Ltd - our Charitable Company A vacancy on our charitable company has become available due to the resignation of Director John Scott, under a Director Replacement Policy introduced for the company. John served the company well and Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio wish to extend their thanks to him. We are currently in the process of finding a replacement and are seeking nominations from registered rūnanga members, who have been actively involved in the rūnanga for at least 12 months and, who wish to stand for election. We have asked members to apply in writing, including a profile of no more than 200 words before 5pm on Wednesday 31 March. Nominees must be available to attend a Director Election Meeting to be held on Saturday 10 March at Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae, Mahitahi (Bruce Bay), commencing at 2pm. Please address your nomination to Tumuaki, Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio, PO Box 225, Hokitika. or, send by e-mail to makawhio1@xtra.co.nz.

Katie Jayne and Mark Solomon The award was sponsored by Kaiwhakahaere Mark Solomon, who offered a taonga to be awarded in support of the kaupapa, and was the culmination of discussions, which commenced in 2008 around how Māori academic achievement could be raised at the college. Mark presented the award to Katie Jayne in front of an assembly of 800 students, parents, teachers, kaumātua and Sisters of Mercy, along with her proud whānau.

Maxie’s Musings Kaumātua Maxie Duncan who lives in Karangarua (approximately two hours south of Hokitka) regularly contributes to our rūnanga pānui, Ka tangi te koko. Below he shares his musings about Mahitahi-Bruce Bay. Who else has sighted our shores since Māui first came some ten or so centuries ago? Tasman came to Ōkārito in 1642 and sealers frequented this area, as did navy survey ships from Tasmania. “Ships Creek” just south of the bay, is aptly named, marking the area where more than half of the wreckage of a ship still lies, and explorer Douglas reported the discovery of a chain and anchor in deep South Westland from an earlier unknown life.

In the far corner of Bruce Bay, my ancestors made and launched their waka. The rivers Mahitahi and Makaawhio used to have ferrymen on them and local businesses the Bruce Bay Mill and Bruce Bay Timber Company shipped their entire sawn product out of the bay in steamers. Coastal Traders continued to operate these shorelines right up till the 1960s (when the Haast Road opened), the best known being the Gael, Storm and Breeze.

When Gerhard Mueller landed in Bruce Bay in about 1865, there were reports of more than 30 old campfires around in the Bay.

The wānaka will cover a range of kaupapa, with history, tikanga, geology, resource management, stone-age technology, carving and the new Ngāi Tahu traceability system planned for the Saturday, and a field trip on the Sunday to Jackson’s River (participants will need to provide their own transport).

I had a woman, whose great-great grandfather had come over in the 1700s in a sealing boat, call in to see me. Her ancestor stayed in South Westland with Māori people and had a family with one of the woman. She was enquiring where they might be now. I said most likely eaten; she left quite quickly not realising I meant by sandflies!

If you want to attend this exciting wānaka (and secure accommodation on the marae), please register your interest by enrolling via the rūnanga office asap. Contact: ph 0800-955 007, email: makawhio1@xtra. co.nz.

Bruce Bay has always been used as a shelter from the rough weather, storms and sea activity, and still is today. Fisherman used the rivers to launch their crafts and throughout, the Makaawhio people have been involved. A local family, the Grahams, told me about when their boat capsized when they were landing. Old Graham nearly drowned and lost all of his equipment, the Makaawhio people revived him, took him in, fed and helped him. He later moved north to the Franz Josef area, acknowledging the Makaawhio people who saved his life.

Keep an eye on our web-site for further updates regarding the wānaka. Hui-ā-tau (AGM) Our hui-ā-tau has been scheduled to take place Saturday 25 September at our marae. More details regarding the weekend will be advertised closer to the meeting. Do we have your correct contact details? Please contact the office on 0800-955 007 or by email makawhio1@xtra.co.nz to keep your contact details up to date.

Imagine what the bay has seen; from waka to sailing ships, then steam ships and now to modern day craft. It was in fact a steamer that leant its name to the bay. The ship’s captain Gibson named our own Mahitahi – Bruce Bay after the PS (paddle steamer) Bruce.

Mā te Atua koutou e manaaki, e tiaki hoki. Mauri ora! Poutini Ngāi Tahu rūnanga joined Te Tau Ihu Iwi representatives and Minister Gerry Brownlee on Friday 26 February to launch a gold and heavy mineral sampling programme that is to be conducted off Te Tai o Poutini by Seafield Resources Ltd. As part of the launch, the equipment and Nelson-based ship Marsol Pride, which are to be used as part of the programme, were blessed. Below two Seafield Resources Ltd representatives who have been working with the rūnanga since 2005, are pictured with Tai o Poutini representatives.

and medical items, and put them in the car ready to go. Looking at the harbour we couldn’t see anything worth worrying about so went about our normal Sunday routine. Around midday we saw the water draining away from the beach so armed with a camera we headed to the jetty where we were joined by a couple of other residents. What a fantastic sight, we saw rocks we didn’t know existed straight out from Aunt Fan’s beach, and at the end of the jetty there was another set of rocks none of us had seen before. More whānau came down to join us and everyone explored unknown areas of foreshore. When the water came back in it was so fast that I can understand why people get told to stay away. Truly a day to remember.

Inappropriate Parking At the beginning of the year, a handful of Rāpaki residents took the opportunity to respond to a proposal by Viastrada, acting on behalf of Christchurch City Council’s Network Operations Team, to install No Stopping restrictions (broken yellow lines) on Korora Tahi Road and Kina Road in Rāpaki. This is an attempt by council to resolve longstanding issues in this area brought about by visitors to Rapaki, particularly during summer months, parking along these two narrow roads impeding traffic flow and causing safety issues. One response was in favour, identifying policing as a concern, and an additional issue highlighted was the overnighters camping along the foreshore. The results are to be reported back to council, with a final decision being made by Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board.

Te Rūnanga o Koukourarata Greetings! Nei rā te owha ki a koutou … well it is certainly shaping up to being a busy year., Waitangi Day prep and performances, the Mō Tātou Te Hokinga Mai opening and kapa haka performances, whale strandings and then dodging tsunami are just a few of the things that filled February here at Koukourarata – and we still have another 10 months to go! Before moving on, the whänau of Te Rünanga o Koukourarata would like to extend our heartfelt aroha to all of our whanauka who have lost loved ones over the past months, in particular the Briggs/Wereta and Hoekstra/Wereta whānau, and Morgan/Bradshaw whānau with their recent losses. Nö reira koutou o te huka wairua haere atu rä, moe mai rä i kä peka o tö tätou nei Ükaipö. Mä te Atua koutou katoa e manaaki e tiaki. Äpiti hono tätai hono rätou ki a rätou ka moe, äpiti hono tätai hono tätou te huka ora ka noho, pai marire!

Some of the Koukourarata whānau who attended the dawn blessing. Waitangi Day Yet again another successful day that saw whānau and friends from around the area come together for the day’s events. Supported by the annual Puna Waka noho led by Iaean Cranwell, Craig Pauling and Te Waka Pounamu, the day began with the waka coming up the river to the landing, followed by a rousing pōwhiri led by our very own kapa haka and topped off with a yummy hängi prepared by Peter Ramsden and his helpers. This year’s celebrations were timed to start a little bit later so as to not clash with the Ngāi Tahu celebrations held at Ōnuku.

Rünaka Meetings A reminder our rünaka meetings are 10am on the second Sunday of the month at the marae. Please contact the office should you have any questions. Marae Bookings Marae bookings are filling up fast so if anyone would like to book the marae, please contact the office for details. Whale Strandings As most of you would be aware, a pod of up to 70 whales stranded at the head of our harbour in February. Thanks to the help of Project Jonah and staff from Department of Conservation and Christchurch City Council, the majority of this pod were saved. Special thanks are extended to the community of Port Levy who all came to help.

Tsunami warning A tsunami warning was something that never really seemed to happen that often. However, over the past few years there seems to have been quite few, so you really have to ask is this Papatūānuku or Ruaumoko paying us back for the French underground testing in the Pacific? Anyway, the most recent was at the end of February. Although to the untrained eye there didn’t seem to be much happening, to those that know the sea or what to look for there was plenty happening. A good vantage point also helps. The following is an account from Marina Hughs who, after receiving a warning phone call, decided to go up to the paddock above the urupā where she got a birds-eye view. “We had four surges of water come in over about an hour. There was a roar I have never heard from the sea before. Each surge had waves following about a metre apart that just seemed to go on and on. Then by [the far] side of the island, the water just seemed to disappear and on my side of the island it went back to just by my house at the tip of the island. I have never seen it this dry – really muddy but no flounders flapping. A boat about 100 yards from the shore at the Pā end was floating one minute and then on its side in the mud the next – this repeated about four times, as did the waves up the Bay.”

Mō Tātou – Te Hokinga Mai Koukourarata whānau joined with other Canterbury and West Coast whānau to participate in the opening of the Mō Tātou Te Hokinga Mai exhibition at the Robert McDougall Gallery on Saturday 20 February. Although a very early start for most, it was a wonderful experience for our tamariki who came to observe. Our kapa haka also performed on the afternoon of Sunday 28 February for visitors to the gallery. The exhibition will be based at the gallery until 20 June. During this time Koukourarata will host for two weeks from 9am to 5pm Mon 8 – Sun 14 March and then 9am to 5pm Mon 10 – Sun 18 May. Handover of the paepae from one rūnaka to the next will be on the Sunday before our week starts. All whānau able to either come and support the paepae or do some guiding during these two weeks (or more) are asked to please contact the rūnaka office.

Upcoming Events: Just a reminder to whānau of the upcoming events already on the calendar:  Mō Tātou Te Hokinga Mai – Koukourarata hosting weeks are 9am to 5pm Mon 8 – Sun 14 March and Mon 10 – Sun 18 May  Kakanui Reserve Hui at Koukourarata, 10 March  Te Atakura, Sat 9 Oct hosted by Rāpaki.

In Lyttelton Harbour they were expecting a 2.2m high tide, so it was natural that no one seemed to notice the unusually low tide. Some of the bays seemed to be very low, then within 10 minutes the tide was back in again. Over the course of the day there were several large surges throughout the harbour, which saw the sea come up on to the road and into the pub carpark in Teddington. Thankfully the waves were not bigger, so no harm to property or life was done. On that note whānau please remember whether you think it is for real or not, don’t be dumb and go to the beach to collect kaimoana or watch the wave. You never know how big the wall of water will be or how fast it is travelling. Remember, tsunami are walls of water not waves, they move very quickly and stop for nothing, so please whānau, go to higher ground for the good views!

TPR Items and Stories Whānau are asked to send items and stories for TPR to the rünaka office (contact details can be found at the back of this edition of TPR). Without your stories we can’t submit a column, so we look forward to hearing from you.

Wairewa Rūnanga The beautiful Ayla-Jane Puawai Hetaraka was born on 18 January to very proud parents Poutama and Kathlene Hetaraka. She descends from Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Wai and Ngāti Päkehä descent. With gorgeous blue eyes and curly hair, she is loved by her family in both New Zealand and Australia.

Te Rūnanga o Waihao year at school. For those heading to school this year in our takiwā, there is at least the assurance that Ngāi Tahutanga is going to be delivered through the mahi of Henare Manawatu, the Kaihautū Mātauranga o Waihao. Our school community is excited and stimulated by Henare’s presence and the promise of good things to come. It is an exciting time in education here at Waihao. Together with the excitement caused by new undertakings, the mahi continues in other areas. Waihao now has a new eel wrangler because over the last year or so Pauline Reid has been working with John Wilkie on eel trap and transfer in the Waitaki catchment. There is no doubt that both John and Pauline find incredible satisfaction in trapping sexually mature eels and transferring them below the dams where they can continue their journey to the sea to breed. They seem to take a special joy in handling these big docile tuna and watching them move off into the stream and take off to fulfil their destiny. Truly an amazing experience I am told.

Pauline (Missy) the eel wrangler. Kia ora koutou, The last few months have been busy for Waihao whānau, with the younger ones back to school. No doubt the financial strain will be increasing in some households as they outfit their tamariki and rangatahi for school. Still it is good to see them heading out into the new

Special thanks this month to Takerei Norton for his work and efforts in the cultural mapping project, and for facilitating the Cultural Mapping Hīkoi that was truly wonderful. It was fascinating and enthralling, and all those who went enjoyed the whole experience. Together with Takerei, we had the undoubted pleasure and privilege to have the company of Trevor Howse and James Russell at Waihao. They fed our spirit with their stories and their extensive knowledge of the Ngāi Tahu Claim process and their in-depth knowledge of our past. They kept us spellbound throughout. Watch this space for more exciting news from Waihao.

As part of a threeyear appointment cycle applications are now open for the positions of Te Rūnanga o Moeraki’s Representative and Alternate Representative to the table of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

People interested in either of these important roles on behalf of our Rūnanga are invited to contact the Rūnanga Office Manager 03-439 4816 or email moeraki. project@xtra.co.nz for a position description that will be

available from Monday 1 March. Applications will close on Wednesday 31 March and the selection process will be conducted confidentially by the recently elected Appointments Panel.

pleasure of being able to stay at the marae in Moeraki. Our whānau consisted of four generations descending from my mum, Taina Clarke (née Tipa) from Moeraki, daughter Bybi, partner Joe Tahana and tamariki Jamie, Kiriana and Shay, granddaughter Larisa, and tamariki Wiremu, Treivaahn and Ayres, granddaughter Darien, partner Liam, and tamariki Wiki and Hemi and two more great grandchildren Brayden and Tayla. For some of our whānau this was a first visit to Moeraki. For others a chance to re-visit and just soak up and enjoy the sea air (wind worse than Wellington’s, lol), laid-back atmosphere and awesome amenities that the marae has to offer.

Congratulations Congratulations to Jonathon Richards and Rebecca Pascoe, who were married on 20 February in Christchurch. Jonathon is the son of Nola Tipa and mokopuna of June (née Tipa) and the late Shaw McEwan.

Our whānau wish to thank everyone who is involved in keeping our marae such a wonderful place to come back to. The whare made our stay affordable, enjoyable and most of all gave us a chance to catch up with whānau who live in Te Waipounamu. So to put it in one word, our stay at the marae in Moeraki was “priceless” to us, and a very memorable way to start the new year. Ngā mihi na Bybi Clarke Rotorua

Kia ora whānau at Rūnanga o Moeraki This is a pānui from our whānau in regards to our stay in Moeraki at the marae from the 29 December 2009 to 5 January.

Raising awareness

Waitaki native fish committee and Meridian had a community hāngi on Ōmarama Station with local farmers from the Mackenzie country to build relationships and awareness of the long fin eel. Patrick Tipa Chairperson Te Rūnanga o Moeraki

Well, it wasn’t a reunion, not in the normal reunion sense, but it was a re-kindling, so to speak, and an introduction of sorts to those of our whānau who have not had the chance to stay or visit Moeraki. Over the Christmas/New Year period we had the

Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou regular monthly rūnaka meetings, which are held in our wharekai, Hākuiao, on the first Sunday of every month, from 1pm onwards. If you are free to attend, we’d love to see you there.

New Websites Ōtākou Rūnaka – please check out our new rūnaka website www.otakourunaka.co.nz We aim to keep this updated with information on history, whakapapa, te reo, hui, wānaka and events happening within our whānau, marae and wider community. Any feedback you have is welcomed so please feel free to leave comments or contact our office on 03-478 0352 admin@otakou.co.nz

Our love and sympathy goes out to Hana Morgan and our whānauka in Bluff who have recently mourned the loss of a son, taken far too soon in a tragic event. We also wish to acknowledge all those whānau who have recently lost a loved one. Kia tau te manaakitaka o te wāhi kāro ki ruka i tēnā, i tēnā o tātou.

TRoNT Representative Website: www.otakourep.co.nz This is now up-and-running and invites our members to look into some of the kaupapa being discussed around our tribal table, as well as some of Tahu’s own commentaries, history and research topics which may be of interest.

Kā Pēpi Hou Our Ōtākou population of te reo speakers is growing! Introducing Houkura Macfarlane Rawiri Paratene, who arrived on November 28, 2009, taking proud Taua Rena’s total of moko up to 14! Pictured here at Ōtākou with some of his te reo speaking tuākana and tuāhine, proud parents Jeanine Tāmati-Elliffe and Boyd Broughton (Ngā Puhi) brought his whenua down all the way from Tämaki Makaurau to ensure that he is well connected to his Kāi Tahu kāik!

Our sincere thanks to Paul Pōtiki for designing and developing the look of our new websites, and to Megan Ellison for all her voluntary time put into driving this kaupapa. Mei kore ake i a koe kua kore te haumāuiui nei i puta. Te Ao Hou At our last rūnaka meeting, Te Ao Hou, a recently established Māori performing group gave a presentation and performance. Founder Jackie McGregor, (Ngā Puhi) established the kapa haka group as a means to support friends affected by suicide and unemployment. The group provides paid performances in Dunedin, which has seen a rise in the tourist population since becoming a destination for cruise ships from October to March each year. Jackie, who has been part of a kapa haka group since she was seven, has been instrumental in getting the young people in the group performing to a very high standard. One of our kaumātua said she loved seeing the wharenui so full of strong movement and waiata. We tautoko this group of young people and wish them well in their endeavours.

Just to remind whānau that the marae now has a designated wāhi whenua there for you to use, to bury the whenua or pito of your newborn pēpi. Please contact the office or the whānau committee if you would like to discuss this. We also wish Megan and Tahu all the best with their new pēpi; our thoughts are with you. How is it that each year seems to race along faster than the one before? The summer holidays have happened, the tamariki are back at school and we are into the third month already. We are well into the swing of

Waiata Mai Regular waiata sessions will be held before each monthly rūnaka meeting, from 11am – 1pm. We have two major events happening in our rohe this year. Ngā Whakataetae Manu Kōrero National Speech competitions are being held in Dunedin from 21 – 23 September, and the Hui-ā-Tau is being held at Puketeraki Marae in November … Nā reira e te iwi, huri ō tarika ki kā korokoro tūī. It’s time for us to brush up on our waiata repertoire! We have a new haka pōwhiri, a haka and a few mōteatea to start on. We will post these on our new website also.

Te Reo We urge all members to join the growing number of whānau who are pro-actively learning, practising and using te reo in the home with tamariki. If you can, please take the opportunities that our iwi are providing, with an up-and-coming Kia Kurapa wānaka reo, aimed at beginners to intermediate speakers, and also the Kāi Tahu Kura Reo for intermediate to advanced speakers. There will also be regular wānaka reo at our marae throughout this year, so please contact our office to register your interest.

For the townies or those who want the extra practice, every second Thursday at the Araiteuru Marae, 24 Shetland Street, waiata sessions will be held from

Waihōpai Rūnaka Kia ora whānau Ngā mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa Nga mate o nga whānau katoa Haere haere haere atu rā Well whānau she’s all go. We had lock-down, fire engines, ambulance, police, a chemical shower, the whole shooting caboodle, all for some old weed spray; a lot of drama. At the time of the lock-down we were in the process of having a hui, which had to be closed down and everyone was told to leave the marae. Some of the old hands refused to leave – I won’t say who.

The tio season is underway again, which is absolutely great! Tītī season just around the corner – it won’t be long before it will be half-way through the year. Time needs to slow down, I’m really losing my hair. Hui at the marae has been steady and it’s great to have the extra help. Ngāi Tahu education hui went very well I heard – that is awesome! Ngāi Tahu and the Department of Conservation are meeting here as well. Our rūnanga application notices for TRoNT Representative and Alternate Representative are out, so that is progress. With all the workers up here at the marae, including the PD workers, it’s becoming a very busy place. It’s good to see the marae alive every day. Relay for Life will be over by the time you read this, and we are part of it again.

The rūnaka has just employed eight rangatahi for specific projects for six months in the kitchen, and so on. They are a Godsend, absolutely wonderful! Mateka, Robyn, Viola, Mhari, and others can relax a little bit more. Our kapahaka group went to Jericho to perform and it was a great trip for all of us. Some fool made sure everybody’s vehicle had petrol but forgot to check his own. Guess who?! Quarter of a tank got from Invercargill to Manapouri. Boy were they sweating!

There have been a number of car accidents lately and some have been close to whānau at the rūnaka. So please talk to your young ones about being safe and don’t drink and drive!

Take care, laugh a lot – it just might help, and catch yah all later! Squirrel on the Hill Don’t be shy to give the whānau a hug. Waihōpai Rūnaka Incorporated are applications for the following positions:

Kia ora rā te whānau whānui. Ngā mihi maioha ki a koutou katoa kua eke panuku ki runga i tēnei tekau rau tau.

The rūnaka whānau celebrated the launching of its newly purchased fully equipped W6 Waka Ama. It was manufactured by Moana Nui in Napier. Those on the day had their opportunity to participate at the original waka landing to hoe on the Aparima awa. Kayne is currently paddling for a Christchurch club Te Awa Haku, and has participated in events such as Molokaihoe in Hawaii, Vaka Eiva in Rarotonga, and more recently the Takapuna Beach Cup. He is now in training for the Gold Coast Cup.

E ngā mate kua mene atu ki te pō haere, haere, haere. To the Fisher and Morgan whānau, nga mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa. To all others who have lost loved ones, arohanui ki a ratau kua whetūrangitia. With Wero above to guide their future and bless the marriage of Shaye Reweti Barrett to Shane Piripi Turner (Ngäti Kahungunu) that took place at Te Akau Marae, Ōraka (the Bull whānau marae) on Waitangi Day.

The rūnaka are encouraging those interested to become involved in this exciting sport. Kayne will be holding a series of four wānanga to reintroduce the connection to waka.

Shaye is the daughter of Nan, and the grand-daughter of the late Freda and Jim Bull.

Te Kōawa Tūroa o Takitimu Kāi Tahu Māori Cultural Festival On 20 February whānau at Te Kōawa Tūroa o Takitimu swayed and toe-tapped to the cool sounds of kapa haka, tamariki laughing, lollie scrambles, a fabulous band whilst viewing the many splendid Māori artist displays. There was screen printing, pounamu, harakeke, tā moko and so much more from our fabulous arty whānau. A celebration of Kāi Tahutanga was enjoyed by all and what a bonus that our own Raniera Dallas was on hand as MC. So 300 sausages, a 30-kilo pig, 22 loaves of sandwiches, 450 bottles of drink and 600 cups of tea later, the whānau at Ōraka Aparima Health and Social Services can’t wait to start organising for next year’s event. We raised $1400 to go towards native plants to assist with the valley planting programme – tu meke and our thanks to all involved.

Te Rau Aroha Marae With the opening of the school year, the school visits have begun again with visits from Invercargill and Gore high schools plus French and American exchange students. We also had a big turnout for Tītī Islands Permit Day.

The whānau of Matangi Morgan (Bradshaw whānau) wish to extend their sincerest gratitude to everyone for the messages of aroha and tautoko in our time of sadness. We humbly acknowledge the support from Ngāi Tahu when we arrived back in Christchurch from Brisbane with him. We had a beautiful tangihanga for our boy at Te Rau Aroha with help and beautiful kai coming from all quarters. Whānaungatanga and manaakitanga are and always have been, alive and well in this community and among our people. With our faith, our culture and our whānau – in the broadest sense – our hapū and our iwi, Tuhourangi-Ngāti-Wahiao; Tainui and Ngāi Tahu we will get through this. There are so many people to thank and acknowledge that we are loathe to name individuals for fear of missing anyone out. However we know who you all are and will never forget you. Nō reira, ngā mihi tino nui, ngā mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa mō o koutou

Due to a tangihanga, all hui and events for the last two weeks of February were postponed. This includes the special meeting to call for nominations to the Appointments Committee. A new date will be advertised shortly. Te Rourou (Early Childhood Centre) We are at our maximum capacity of 38 for full-time care for tamariki, with only two spaces left for casual enrolments. Our outdoor playground development is progressing well and is due for completion by the end of the month. The rūnanga and centre welcome our new kaiako, Jill White-Northcroft to the team. She has a long background in early childhood development and education, and will be an asset to our community.

Awarua Study Centre The centre opened for the new year with loads of tamariki enrolling to access the after school education and arts programmes.

Tio The tio oyster began on 1 March with the fleet out on the water in the small hours of the morning. As per normal with the start of every season, Tāwhirimātea raised his head and sent them home early, but with plenty of oysters for the hungry market.

Taurahere Rōpū titled Bowling Through India. They even played backyard cricket in a cemetery in Varanasi – only in India! Thanks Reece for an entertaining and informative afternoon.

Ngāi Tahu Ki Tauranga Moana Hui Sunday 14 February Our chairperson was on a “leave of absence”, a much deserved holiday this month, and we had Secretary Kim Rahiri and our kaumātua, Uncle Joe Briggs, get the first meeting of the year underway. Uncle Joe gave an overview of the trip to Mayor Island to release orangefronted kākāriki. At our April meeting we will show you the DVD of the trip supplied by DOC. We were then treated to a slideshow and presentation by one of our whānau, Reece Irving. Reece was a member of the “Black Craps”, a group of guys who travelled through India playing street cricket with the locals. You may have seen Reece and his fellow team mates interviewed on day-time television and the news last year.

Reece Irving, at the February hui with his book “Bowling Through India”. DIARY - next meeting: AGM – Sunday 11 April (NB: date in last pānui was incorrect). Tauranga Boys College Wharenui, start time 1pm.

These five Kiwi guys – a high country farmer, a radio DJ, a businessman, a photographer and a shoe-string traveller called Blanket Boy (aka – Reece Irving) – learned a lot of about life, love, death, suffering, compassion and the fascination of India. On their return they put together a book about their travels; a book about travel, humour, mateship and the love of cricket that unites people whatever their age, race and station,

Other meeting dates: 13 June, 8 August, 10 October, 5 December.

The rest sat there all day listening to the sweet sounds of a band (who played all the classics) and catching up with whānau. A representative from the office supported the day and promoted iwi initiatives. This was a good opportunity for whānau who had queries. Waitangi Day Celebrations Tamaki Makaurau, Tamaki Herehere Ngā Waka e.

Earlier that day, the cooks prepared a beautiful hāngi rua, which was enjoyed by all. Let’s just say it was the best dirt hāngi so far this year! Nei ka mihia ngā pono nihowera! Big mihi to the cooks!

Set on a beautiful farm in Ramarama (Bombay Hills), with the sun shining down and a cool gentle breeze in the air, Ngāi Tahu ki Tamaki Makaurau organised another fun whānau day to celebrate Waitangi Day.

With the support from the Ngāi Tahu Fund, Ngāi Tahu ki Tämaki Makaurau organised an awesome day of fun and whakawhānaungatanga, which was well attended. A huge mihi goes out to the organising committee, nei ka monoa atu ki a koutou.

There were activities organised for all ages. The kids enjoyed the pony rides and the waterslide. The rangatahi played cricket, touch rugby, and tug-o-war.

Ōnuku The Appointment Committee are meeting Wednesday 10 March 2010 at 5.30pm at Ōnuku Marae. Kaikōura It is envisaged that the rūnanga will progress their election processes this month.

They represent different parts of the Ngāi Tahu takiwā. They provide a mix between town, city, rural and urban settings. Some of these Papatipu Rūnanga have local projects related to Te Mahere Mātauraka underway.

Toitū Te Kainga – Education Mokopiki – Evaluation of Te Mahere Mātauraka.

The project team has already conducted the first set of interviews in the two pilot Papatipu Rūnanga research areas. They interviewed parents/whānau who have children at early childhood, primary and secondary schools in these areas. They also had interviews with the teachers and principals from these schools and representatives of these Papatipu Rūnanga. Based on the information collected from interviews, the team will return to each of these areas in mid-March to conduct evaluation workshops with participants.

The research and evaluation project of the Shared Outcomes Agreement between Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Ministry of Education has just started. There are seven research areas: • Awarua Rūnanga (Pilot) • Te Rūnanga o Arowhenua • Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki (Pilot) • Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae • Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga • Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura • Te Taumutu Rūnanga.

Once these have been completed, the team will review the questions and the engagement process and finetune them if necessary, before carrying out the engagement in the other areas. Interviews in these other areas will

be conducted in late April with evaluation summits by the end of October.

It provides all the information about the project and will be regularly updated as the project progresses.

Don’t forget to check out www.mokopiki.com. This website has been developed specifically for this project.

For further information on the research contact pattillo on 04-473 2702 or email people@pattillo.co.nz. I can see Joan, our financial planner rolling her eyes when she reads this. I know what you’re thinking Joan, and you have said that the cost of selling, moving and real estate fees is high and that we need to tread carefully around this kaupapa. Well, we have been careful and have read all the pamphlets and websites, sought advice from a lawyer, and talked the ears off all of our friends for their tips on selling. We were ready to make the next step and sell privately. Why go private and make it more of a hassle? Well when we did our figures we worked out that we could save at least $10,000 if we managed to sell it ourselves. I’d rather $10,000 in my pocket than in someone else’s. It’s a bit like setting up the māra (garden) – the initial outlay can stack up cost wise. We did do a budget on how much we would need to spend on house preparation, sale signs, flyers and advertising, LIM reports and lawyers fees. We also had to look at what we would be saving if we rented for a couple of years and how much interest we would make if we put the profit into a longterm investment. Unfortunately the interest is very little but the savings made while renting makes this a good option for us. So we have a plan that entails selling our whare, paying off our waka and some of the larger bills and busting a move potentially to Warrington Beach, 19km north of Dunedin for a beach community fix, a rural school for the tamariki to attend and space for all of us to grow. That part feels good and will be good … once we sell the whare and complete that side of things with minimal disruption and cost. Another two years of university and then we launch into the five year plan of shifting back up north for a while. You know when you marry another Māori, you’re obligated to honour their iwi, and I figure this is a modern day “peace marriage” (but with a strong love connection of course) between two tribes – my tāne is a descendant of Te Rauparaha – the pull for him is towards Raukawa territory and for me, towards Horomaka. So with Miharo Māori, Tainui T-Rex, Pahi, Quack Quack (our tikaokao/heihei), our kurī Toka and our little hapū of tamariki we will be venturing from this whare to the next, raising our tino rangatiratanga flag, establishing our māra, speaking our reo (loudly with five tamariki) and playing our sounds – because that’s who we are and proud of it. Not always straightforward in our approach, often creatively crazy but always eventful. Take care whānau – don’t let financial burdens weigh you down – find riches in everyday achievements that don’t cost anything. Strive towards your dreams because I do believe in “where there’s a will there’s a way”. Money can assist you to reach your goals, but it is your kaha and your vision that secures the dream.

Ngāi Tahu Financial Independence Programme This month marks the end of the TPK contract for the Financial Independence Programme. While the pilot programme is about to come to an end, we are currently in the process of looking at funding options for the continuation of the planning programme and the debt reconciliation and budget advice service delivered through He Oranga Pounamu. We will update on this over the coming months. Over the past two and a half years the programme has benefited hundreds of Ngāi Tahu whānui through seminars, financial planning and budget advice services. Through these columns, our website and Te Karaka, we have provided many ideas, information and simple tips on money matters. Remember – take control of your finances. Don’t let them control your life! 1. Set goals – think about your plans and dreams 2. Make a budget – check out www.sorted.org.nz for a useful budget template 3. Get rid of your credit and garbage debt 4. Pay yourself first – join Kiwisaver and Whai Rawa 5. Prioritise your spending 6. Update your insurances and make sure you have a will. For most of us getting on top of our finances is an ongoing battle, and it always seems that just when you are getting on top of the bills and the debt, something comes along to put you back at square one. The key thing is don’t give up, it is worth it in the long-run. Financial literacy, financial education, budgeting and managing debt are all much-used terms these days and there are many services available to help with all of the above. A good place to start is the Retirement Commission’s Sorted website: www.sorted.org.nz. Kelly’s Money Matters – the finale!

The For Sale sign is out and the news on the kūmara vine has been activated. We’re selling our whare and moving out – not out of Ōtepoti – just yet.

Tip of the month – set up a ‘swap meet’ If you and your whānau are into growing fruit and vegetables and making homemade produce, a really good idea is to pull together a group of fellow produce makers and set up a swap meet. It works like this. Identify the potential group members and make a list of who likes to make what. Say you have an apricot tree in the garden and likes to make apricot jam, and someone else makes tomato relish… If there are ten members

in your group, you all make ten of something and then get together to swap your produce. It means you get a variety of produce to sample rather than having ten jars of one flavour jam to eat your way through before the next season or worse to throw out for a fresh batch. It’s also a good way of keeping in touch with friends and whānau.

2. What To Do With Your Money? Firstly, if you’re a member of Whai Rawa, congratulations! You have identified for yourself a desire to improve the financial health of your whānau and or yourself, and by opening a Whai Rawa account you have made the first step on a great journey. Read on for the second step… You’re still reading? Fantastic, the second step is starting a small but regular savings plan for you or your whānau. In the last issue of Te Pānui Rūnaka we outlined what you would need to save weekly, fortnightly or monthly as a child or adult member in order to receive Whai Rawa Matched Savings. If you haven’t started, it’s not too late. Below is illustrated what you’ll need to do to from 1 April. Adult

just looks good on paper. If you are not disciplined enough to maintain the plan, it is too complicated. A simple budget is the solution. Compensates for a lack of discipline – Many people acknowledge that saving money requires discipline. Discipline that too many openly admit they do not have. When it comes to automatic savings you only need to be disciplined enough to initiate the process. From there, an occasional review say once a year, is all that is required. Emotional benefits – Some people find it emotionally burdensome to save. They think about how they could have got this or that. They then feel bad that they are saving so much for tomorrow without the chance to live it up today. However, when you ‘forget’ you are saving money you can mentally disconnect from the process. Small amounts add up – If you are trying to save then smaller frequent payments actually give you access to funds at the end of the year rather than competing against the Christmas dollar, because to get your matched savings, payments need to be made by 31 December. Results – Don’t argue with results. This is a proven and effective method for saving money. Since it has worked for generations there is no reason to think it is going to stop working now.

The Benefits of Saving Regularly 1. Simplicity – Many great financial plans fail because they are too complicated. It is far better to have a financial plan that works than one that

Toitū Te Whenua In the afternoon Takerei Norton from Toitū Te Whenua gave a presentation on the tribal strategy towards Tenure Review and led a discussion on how best we can ensure that Ngāi Tahu values are incorporated into the future management of Conservation Parks in the high country. In the evening Joy and Tama Smith organised a quiz for all participants with Aunty Jane Davi’s team taking out the top prize. Thanks go out to Joy and Tama, who are becoming well known as the “tribal quiz masters” and wouldn’t be swayed or bribed by participants, particularly Mr Charlie Crofts. The second day Conservator for Otago Marian Van der Goes presented the Department’s strategic direction. Nick Singers talked about species and ecosystem work, and DOC’s new focus regarding this kaupapa. In the afternoon the group ventured out on a hīkoi looking down from the great mauka Hikaroroa, where there were majestic views of the Waikouaiti catchment, and from there ending at Huriawa Pā. In the evening everyone travelled to the Ōrokonui Sanctuary above Waitati north of Dunedin, to hear the dusk chorus and enjoy a pleasant walk through part of the 307-hectare eco-sanctuary, which is the most recently completed predator-proofed fence enclosure, and the only one to date in the South Island. It is well worth a visit. A pā harakeke has also been developed alongside.

On the first day of the hui, there was an open forum where participants could share their views, concerns and observations regarding Ngāi Tahu working with DOC. An excellent discussion was had over the mining issue within National Parks and how we should respond to that.

The final day Brett Cowan, Leonie Fechney and Rachel Puentener gave an overview of the joint Ngāi Tahu/DOC employment project, Te Ara Whakamua. The hui ended with rūnanga participants presenting their various projects with DOC, including the buff weka restoration

project in Central Otago, Te Korowai Project in Kaikōura, and the restoration projects at Koukourarata.

At the end of the course all 20 participants are able to apply for a limited number of ranger positions within the department, which involves a further two years’ training within the department. Those not chosen for further training have a very high rate of employment within the department and elsewhere.

The hui was a great opportunity for whakawhanaungatanga and support for Ngāi Tahu working with DOC, and gave Toitū Te Whenua some excellent feedback and support for its mahi. Thanks to all who were able to take time out to attend and to the haukainga, who provided fantastic manaaki and kai!

If you are keen or know of anyone who is interested in applying, please forward their contact details to Rachel Puentener, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, rachel.puentener@ ngaitahu.iwi.nz, or phone Rachel on 0800 524 8248. An information pack will be sent to you, including application forms. Alternatively, you can download application forms from the NMIT website www.nmit.ac.nz. Te Rūnanga can help with your application and CV if needed.

Do you want to be a DOC ranger? Ngāi Tahu and Department of Conservation are continuing the successful pilot programme, Te Ara Poutama.

Aoraki Bound Reaches Milestone Course

Meridian Energy has sponsored Aoraki Bound since its inception in 2006. General Manager of External Relations Garth Dibley says: “ The course is a great opportunity for both Meridian and Ngai Tahu to learn about the South Island landscape that we all share. I know our staff who attend the course return with a renewed vigour and determination as well as a deep respect for Ngai Tahu and their story in the region.” Students spend eight days at the Outward Bound facility at Anakiwa, Queen Charlotte Sound and 12 days on a hīkoi (journey) from Anakiwa to the base of Aoraki.

Aoraki Bound March course at Kaniere. Milestone for Aoraki Bound Aoraki Bound celebrated its tenth course on 19 March, celebrating the success of more than 100 participants since 2006, including aspiring Ngāi Tahu future leaders.

What students say: “Aoraki Bound was the richest experience of my life … I felt truly humbled to have walked in the footsteps of my ancestors…”

Aoraki Bound is a 20-day cultural and personal development programme, combining Ngāi Tahu cultural knowledge with the classic challenge, leadership and outdoor adventure activities typical of Outward Bound.

“Aoraki Bound has given me this sense of true identity and belonging to my people and the land on which we live. I now say with pride ‘I am Kāi Tahu’.” Visit www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/Ngai-Tahu-Whanui/AorakiBound for more information, or call 0800 KĀI TAHU, 0800 524 8248.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Mark Solomon says the success of the programme is a tribute to all those involved, including local rūnanga; Arowhenua and Ngāti Waewae.

Aoraki Bound is the result of a successful partnership with Outward Bound and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Meridian Energy.

“Aoraki Bound is a remarkable programme. The graduates who complete the journey emerge with a new understanding of Ngāi Tahu culture, belief, language

lectures and wānanga/workshop programmes that will promote the exhibitions. The series began on Friday 12 March with Tā Tipene O’Regan presenting a kōrero on the origins of Ngāi Tahu. See the full Canterbury Museum programme at www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/Events/2010/MoTatou.

Te Hokinga Mai, Mō Tātou and Mō Kā Uri Exhibitions For the first time Te Papa Tongarewa are touring an iwi exhibition. Mō Tātou, the Ngāi Tahu Whānui Exhibition, came home on the first part of its journey throughout the Ngāi Tahu rohe and was opened with a dawn ceremony lead by Ngāi Tūāhuriri at the Robert McDougall Gallery, Canterbury Museum on Saturday 20 February. Mō Tātou was opened alongside a parallel exhibition Mō Kā Uri, which was produced by the Canterbury Museum in partnership with the northern Papatipu Rūnanga to welcome and compliment Mō Tātou. It showcases more than 200 taonga that have never been exhibited before. The exhibitions reinforce the themes of culture, tenacity, sustainability and innovation and add to the dimension of energy, life and conversation between ancient and contemporary artefacts and artworks. The exhibitions will be on display at the Robert McDougall Gallery until 20 June and now gives all Ngāi Tahu whānau living here at home the opportunity to experience Mō Tātou alongside Mō Kā Uri, before it moves further south to the Southland Art Gallery in July and the Otago Museum in December.

The consultation process needed to capture whakaaro Mäori (Mäori ideas/thoughts) in a culturally appropriate way. Hence the consultation is based on Te Pae Mahutonga – a modern, holistic model for Māori health promotion developed by Mason Durie.

Pänui Māori consultation process for the Christchurch City Health and Wellbeing Profile Community and Public Health, with support of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, He Oranga Pounamu, and Ötautahi rūnaka have been leading the process for Mäori consultation on the Christchurch City Health and Wellbeing Profile to better inform the City Health Plan.

The consultation process began in December 2009 at the Ōtautahi Rūnaka hui and has continued with the recent Kaumātua Hui held last week. Health and Social Wellbeing’s Wendy Dallas-Katoa said the team understood the importance of time when collating such valuable information from our communities. “We are lucky that we have such time to complete this part of the process with due respect.”

The Profile sets out how to improve the health and wellbeing of the residents of the city. It also includes what the priorities are, how progress will be monitored against the objectives, and who is responsible for achieving the goals.

The needs of those who are busy and cannot attend the hui have been catered for with the soon-to-be-launched online questionnaire on the websites of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, He Oranga Pounamu and Community and Public health. If you would like more information about this please contact Olivia Papuni on 03-3786 866 or at olivia.papuni@cdhb.govt.nz.

Health and Social Wellbeing, Toitū te Kāinga, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu is one of the consultation leaders, which is vital to be able to collate the priorities of Mäori living within Ötautahi and ensure it is reflected in the final plan.
