Nā te Kaiwhakahaere These awards show the impact our whānau are having across Aotearoa and its inspiringto see our whānau recognised for their mahi and success.

Ko Puaka kai rau, ko Puaka nui ā Rangi – te tohu o te tau, te kaiwhakaue i te iwi i te rau o Mahara, ki a Rauraki. Haere e te tini kua riro i te anumātao, ka tokia taku kiri ki te rere ua o te pō. Nau mai e te ao mārama, ka nanao taku hinekaro ki te ao o tua i te whakaaro noa, i te kiteka kanohi e! Kia ora mai rā and welcome to my latest pānui. It has been a very exciting month seeing our whānau recognised through a wide variety of industries. In May, I attended the Ahuwhenua Trophy – BNZ Māori Excellence in Farming Award, where the Māwhera Incorporation were nominated for the excellence in farming award and one of our Ngāi Tahu rangatahi, Mathew Pooley, was nominated for young farmer of the year award. While they did not win thir categories, being nominated for such prestigious awards is a testament to their mahi and shows the great work Ngāi Tahu whānau are undertaking in this area. Ngāi Tahu was also recognised at the Māori Business Awards, with Kauahi Ngapora, general manager of Whale Watch Kaikōura, winning the Outstanding Māori Business Leader Award. Maruhaeremuri Nihoniho, director of Metia Interactive, won the Māori Entrepreneurial Leader Award and Kendall Flutey, CEO of Banqer, won the Young Māori Business Leader Award. Incredible mahi! Our whānau who received formal recognition for their achievements in the Queen’s Birthday Honours were Timua Brennan (ONZM), Gabrielle Huria (MNZM), Millan Ruka (MNZM), Leith Comer (QSO) and Stewart Bull (QSM).

As you will have seen in my previous columns, we have continued to build relationships with the new Labour Government, as well as ensuring we maintain relationships across the political spectrum. In June, Te Rūnanga met with relatively new National Party leader Simon Bridges and he shared his party’s views for Aotearoa. We will continue to work with all political parties to ensure we can advocate for our whānau and ensure our rights and interests are appropriately protected at a central government level. In May, I had the privilege of giving the key note speech at the Women of Influence launch in Christchurch. During my speech, I took the opportunity to share some of our Ngāi Tahu history and talk about our vision for the future. The feedback I received following my speech included how impressed people were at the wāhine representation we have on the Board and in our senior management positions. Te Rūnanga compares well in terms of gender diversity to many other organisations in Aotearoa with more than 50 per cent of roles on the Board and in senior leader taken by women. I always make sure to point out that wāhine have always played a strong role in our tribal leadership and in my speech I shared the stories of some of our wāhine toa who have passed, including Wharetutu Newton, Cath Brown, Maru Stirling, Maria Tini, Kera Brown, Wharetutu Stirling, Rima Bell, and Annie Thompson, to name a few. Our Road Shows have been going well and we recently had close to 600 attendees in Wellington. To date, more than 1600 whānau have attended the hui held across Aotearoa and Australia. We still have Road Shows through June and July, so please check out the Ngāi Tahu website and come along to one 2

near you if you can attend www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/ngai-tahuevents/road-shows/ One of the key kaupapa being covered at the Road Shows is the Form and Function Review, which was launched last year. It is a pleasure to get the feedback and support for this mahi from our whānau. There is still an opportunity for whānau to have a say and fill out a survey at: www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/te-runangao-ngai-tahu/ngai-tahu-governance/ form-and-function-review/ One kaupapa I have also loved seeing our whānau get behind at the Road Shows is Te Pou Here. This programme can help you connect to the iwi and provide information about professional and cultural development, employment and business opportunities across the Ngāi Tahu businesses owned by the tribe. I recommend that everyone go online and register with Te Pou Here to connect with our whānau and learn about potential opportunities at www.tepouhere. ngaitahu.iwi.nz/ It was also wonderful to see Ngāi Tahu master carver Fayne Robinson show his work on the world stage when the Manly Sea Eagles played the Vodafone Warriors in Christchurch last month. Fayne designed the jersey Manly wore during the game and carved the trophy presented to the winner. We acknowledge the sponsorship and hosting of Ngāi Tūāhuriri. Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu also supported this game, as it was an excellent opportunity to promote sport and health and wellbeing with our whānau. We look forward to working with Manly again next year when they return to Christchurch. I want to especially acknowledge the Warriors for their excellent win, inspired by the mana of Te Wai Pounamu. Go the Warriors! I would like to end by acknowledging all those who have passed away since my last column, my aroha is with all whānau who have lost a loved one.

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 can gain some insight into the artwork depicted on the front page and into the life of the person who created this beautiful piece. If you want to know more about this artist or contribute your own artwork, email Te Pānui Rūnaka editor Arielle Monk: tpr@ngaitahu.iwi.nz

Rata Koning, Te Pānui Rūnaka June-July cover artist

Rata is a full time artist living in Southland at Otatara - a place she loves for its vibrant bird life. She began her creative career as a graphic artist in advertising and, after many years, was able to leave this role to pursue and fulfill her passion for painting. She says she loves to work with water colour “for it’s wonderful flow of colour, which can let you use your imagination as it drift’s across the paper”, and acrylic paints, “which I find lets me indulge my love of detail”. The cover piece for Te Pānui Rūnaka June-July 2018 depicts Saddleback birds, a long-time favourite of Rata’s. On her visits to Kundy Island - one of the tītī islands she is often delighted by the sight of the rare native bird. Rata lives with her Dutch-born husband on a Queen Elizabeth II covenant bush section in Otatara and together, they have a grown son who lives in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. Rata and her son Jason are descendants of Meri Kauri Tini Rahou Rawaho of Ōtākou and James Spencer, the first Pākehā settler at Bluff.

Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura Ngā mate

With a lot of sadness we said our goodbyes to Aunty Romi Taylor and Aunty Darcy Solomon recently. Both aunties were driving forces at Takahanga Marae in the early years and were staunch supporters of the defence of our tribal boundaries. They will be missed but fondly remembered.

Rūnanga business

Moturoa project

Rūnanga hui are bi-monthly from 11am -3pm. The coming meetings will be held in June, August, October and December. Enquires to Te Tari o Arahura on (03) 755 6451 or admin@ngatiwaewae.org.nz

We have an opportunity for two Ngāti Waewae rangatahi aged between 18-24 to take part in the Moturoa project. This is a trainee ranger programme with aspects of Te Ao Māori and Mātauranga Māori at its core. It will suit rangatahi with an interest in our environment and conservation.

We welcome contributions from whānau for the Ngāti Waewae section of Te Pānui Rūnaka, so please share your stories with us and the iwi!

The programme will be based in the Nelson region and runs for 32 hours per week over a ten month period. It is NZQA Level 4 and will include up to nine noho marae. Definite start dates are yet to be confirmed, but it will likely begin in September 2018. For further information or to register your interest, please contact Ruahine Coakley: ruahine.coakley@ngaitahu.iwi.nz

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

Kua tau te makariri ki ruka Poutini! Winter has definitely made its appearance here on the West Coast! Kā Tiritiri o te moana are now gloriously cloaked in hukapapa. We hope whānau are keeping warm and if you need to travel the motu, please be safe in the wintry road conditions.

Kaumātua kapa haka 2018

We had eight Poutini Kāi Tahu attend this event alongside Ngāi Tūāhuriri whānau at the Taikura Kapa Haka 2018 in Wellington last month. The Poutini Kāi Tahu wāhine were late starters, but practised up a storm – committing to practice every couple of days. We were so proud to see our elders up there on stage!

Pink Ribbon breakfast

This year, Te Rūnaka o Makaawhio teamed up with Ngāti Waewae and held a Poutini Kāi Tahu Pink Ribbon Breakfast in May. With a beautifully set table at Poutini Waiora, whānau came together to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast of muesli, fruit and yoghurt, our special bacon and egg muffins, pots of delicious herbal tea and a wee treat of red velvet cupcakes. Thank you to all the wonderful wāhine who turned up, gave koha and purchased merchandise. We even had key rings made into earrings. Congratulations wāhine mā, we raised over $200 for the day!

Te Ara Whakatipu

Nā, Rachael Forsyth (tuakana participant) Once again, I had the privilege to join a bunch of cool and crazy rakatahi on a trip into Whakatipu Waitai. With an extra day up our sleeve we all enjoyed spending time on our whenua and with each other, learning about our tīpuna and ourselves.

You meet new people, make new connections to those people and with the whenua. This time, we got to have an extra day and I think it was great having that extra day to keep building up our friendships and connections and to keep exploring our beautiful backyard. We had good laughs, made new friendships and memories that won’t be forgotten.

Rakatahi got to enjoy hīkoi on pathways travelled by their ancestors, making hīnaki and team building exercises. As always, it was a fantastic experience watching our rakatahi grow and become more comfortable within themselves and around others. I would like to thank the team and Kara Edwards for letting me help out again and our wonderful entertaining guides, Kahu and Ariki. Without all you fellas, the hīkoi would not have been so memorable and I cannot wait to be a part of the next one.

Nā, Jenna Mahuika-Apperley (teina participant) I don’t know where to start. This trip was such a great experience for me and the others. We all gained so much knowledge about our ancestors and where they came from; we also walked the same tracks as they did. We all learnt so much about each other and made new friends. We learnt how to make a hīnaki (eel trap) and made some really cool kōauau (clay whistles). The food we had there was just absolutely amazing!

Nā, Maddy (tuakana participant) Te Ara Whakatipu is an amazing kaupapa to go on and I recommend it to all Ngāi Tahu rangatahi. This trip allows you to open up and find yourself and to be yourself without being judged. This was my second time on the kaupapa and going back helped me set out goals for my future. At school, I keep to my little group and feel I can only be myself around them – but after being on Te Ara, I can express and be myself without fear of being judged.

I know that I want to go back there in the future. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made this trip happen – especially Kahu, Kara, Rachael, Alex and the Hollyford track workers.

Ngā mihi and congratulations to Maru

Last month, Maru Nihoniho (Te Whānau-a-Apanui, Ngāti Porou, Ngāi Tahu) was presented with the Māori Entrepreneurial Leader Award for her work in independent game design and development at the Māori Business Leaders Awards in Auckland.

Metia Interactive is close to releasing Maru’s latest game – Tākaro - into New Zealand schools. Tākaro is an interactive game aimed at strengthening spatial awareness skills and strategies, as well as teaching coding concepts that will build confidence in STEM.

Maru is the managing director, game producer and designer at Metia Interactive, an award-winning game development studio founded in 2003.

Maru was made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in October 2016, for her work in gaming and mental health. In 2017 she was named Innovator of the Year in the MCV Pacific Women in Games Awards by Microsoft Xbox. Last August, Maru was appointed to the Māori Television Board and earlier this year, completed a Masters in Technological Futures.

Under her leadership, Metia developed SPARX, an educational tool to help rangatahi combat depression. The game was developed with researchers from the University of Auckland and is designed to help young people learn life skills to combat depression – all by completing challenges based on proven cognitive behavioural therapies. The game is proving to have a significant positive impact on young people aged 12-19 years. SPARX has won several awards including the 2011 United Nations World Summit Awards in the e-Health and Environment category and the UNESCO Netexplo Award in 2013. Her first commercial title ‘Cube’, a puzzle game for the PlayStation Portable, was published in 2007 and released worldwide. It won a United Nations World Summit Awards Special Mention.

Ngā mihi and congratulations to Timua

Timua Brennan is the third successive generation of her direct family line to receive a royal honour, something she described as a “huge, huge humbling experience” in a Rotorua Daily Post article last month.

Te Rangimare hosted Sunday Mass for Catholics, which was conducted in te reo Māori by the late Catholic Bishop Barry Jones. This began her kapa haka journey travelling and performing competitively for both Ngāi Tahu and Te Arawa for decades. She also went on to become an adjudicator in 2002 and 2008 at the Waitaha regional kapa haka competitions.

The opera singer and advocate for Māori in performing arts was named an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2018 Queen’s Birthday Honours. She follows in the footsteps of her grandmother Elizabeth Timua Crofts, who received a Queen’s Service Medal in 1986 and her father George Te-Otinga Hori Brennan, who became an Order of the British Empire in 1984.

In 2003, she was featured in a TV1 documentary, ‘On a Rotorua Soprano’, following her success at the New Zealand Lockwood Aria competition. Later that year, Timua was also awarded a scholarship from Te Waka Toi Creative New Zealand for emerging Māori Artists. The scholarship supported the completion of her Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours at Waikato University in 2004.

Timua believes her children and mokopuna have the potential to carry on this whānau tradition in to the future in their respective fields. Timua’s musical career began at the tender age of four, under the watchful eye of her Pāpā George, onstage with the Whetū Ariki kapa haka group in 1959 (a Ngāi Tahu whānau rōpū from back in the day). From then on, Timua travelled between Te Ika a Māui and Te Waipounamu with her whānau for competitive kapa haka.

Over the years, she has won the New Zealand Lockwood Aria prizes five times in the Māori and regional sections, and has acted as an adjudicator for the New Zealand Aria competitions many times. Her contribution to operatic society and Māori participation in her field has been enormous.

As she grew older and her natural talent grew, Timua performed at concerts and events to fundraise for Te Rangimarie, the first Māori community centre in Christchurch.

From 1999 to 2010, she was an active performer for Opera in the Pā in Rotorua, a popular outdoor event hosted at Rotowhio Marae.

Opera in the Pā ran from 1998-2015 and included national and international opera singers who came together to share in their art form in an accessible way, as well as support local Māori artists and reo Māori opera.

Timua has been a specialist vocal coach and also a lecturer in music at the Waiariki Institute. She has performed internationally across Europe and in China and locally as part of the America’s Cup Team New Zealand, at All Blacks events, Waitangi Day events, has sung with Sir Howard Morrison, for British royals and is still a prominent figure in the Rotorua arts community. A busy and full life!

In 2011, immediately following the devastating Canterbury earthquakes, Timua sang at the memorial service at Hagley Park in Christchurch to honour the 185 victims who lost their lives on 22 February. The experience had a profound effect on Timua, as did the quakes themselves on her haukāinga. Six years later, she performed a solo at the unveiling of the Avon River Memorial Wall. Later on in 2017, she released her album ‘Nā Te Ao’, in honour of the victims and families impacted by the Canterbury earthquakes. The album’s production was supported by Creative New Zealand, the Ngāi Tahu Fund, New Zealand Aria and Te Puni Kōkiri. In between her musical career, she also found time to become director of and performer for Greenstone DR Ltd aboard the Lakeland Queen in Rotorua. The Lakeland Queen is a cruise boat and floating restaurant which features cultural performances by Greenstone DR Ltd. Throughout the tourism season, Timua and her company employs talented local rangatahi to perform, promoting Māori culture, local employment opportunities and Tourism Rotorua.

Wairewa Rūnanga Ngā mihi aniwaniwā iti

Nā, Ringo Rissetto Rainbow Rissetto recently received player of the day after a match with her school netball team, the Flanshaw Flames. In the last quarter of the game, the Flames where down by two goals to the Swanson Mystics. The play was intense – the girls were scrambling for the ball and the aerial contest was fierce – it was anyone’s game for the taking! But with a ‘never give up’ attitude, Rainbow kept at it, producing nine intercepts to keep the ball away from the Mystics’ goal and the score in the Flames’ favour. Rainbow is following in the footprints of her Wairewa whānau netball heritage, from wāhine warriors tauanui Te Orewa (Olive) Wanoa (née Robinson), great-aunty Polly-Anne Pairau (née Robinson), taua Rebecca Rissetto (née Wanoa). These wāhine warriors are all former netball champions. We are all so proud of you Rainbow! Love Taua and Poua.

Tribute to the life of George Tainui

Paul, Jason, Melany, Chantelle, Shae and Jaryn Tainui would like to extend our love and gratefulness to all whānau whānui who supported us (whānau pani) at Dad’s tangi on 31 May and the weeks leading up to this day.

Dad would have enjoyed every moment of his immense farewell. And to you our Dad, keep us together as a whānau, remind us of who we are and where we come from, and importantly stay strong within our hearts. Nō reira, kia tangihia, kia mihia. Tēnei te mihi ki a koe pāpā. Love you Dad.

We will be eternally grateful for the aroha we felt. Honestly, Dad’s tangi was an extension of his loving nature and a magnificent tribute to his life. As his children we were made to feel so special. In reflection of our last few weeks with Dad, we will hold tight to the moments we all had. We listened to Dad tell stories of growing up out at the Kāik (Ōnuku), milking the cows and dancing with his cousins. We surrounded Dad with aroha. At one stage, he complained to us for leaving him at the hospital alone. From that moment on, he was never left alone and we all took turns to comfort him. All of his amazing children and whānau will miss him endlessly. Thank you Uncle Bruce for sharing, so creatively, your magical memories of Dad that will fill our imaginations for ever – you definitely filled our bellies with great laughter.

Moe mai ra, George Tainui.

Takapūneke made history

Nā, Mel Tainui On 7 June, Ōnuku Marae and whānau were excited and proud to witness the adoption of the reserve management plan for Takapūneke Wāhi Tapu Site by the Christchurch City Council (CCC) – the sacred site where a bloody massacre once took place.

As a National Reserve, Takapūneke would have the same status as the Waitangi Grounds, so this day represented an important milestone in our journey towards recognition of mana whenua connectivity to tīpuna land - mana whenua who feel so honoured that their whakapapa draws them to such a significant site, who feel the future on the horizon.

The Takapūneke Management Plan Advisory Group developed a unique partnership between CCC and Ōnuku Rūnanga to bring us all closer to our goal of getting Takapūneke Reserve recognised as a National Reserve. The partnership between the CCC and Ōnuku worked to co-design this management plan as a treatypromised partnership.

Presenting the management plan to the Mayor of Christchurch was deputy chairperson of Ōnuku Rūnanga, Melany Tainui. In her opening kōrero, she said: “This is a true partnership where no conversation about Takapūneke has happened without us at the table.

We now trust you [Christchurch City Council] to continue to work with Ōnuku Rūnanga, that you acknowledge the extraordinary history of Takapūneke and honour the greater purpose”.

Ōnuku Rūnanga is using social media as another way to connect with whānau – we invite you to join us on Facebook and share, like or follow our page. We have also gone live with our new website so check it out at: www.onuku.nz

Te Taumutu Rūnanga Waikēkēwai restoration project within Ngāti Moki Additional funding for the restoration of Waikēkēwai has been approved.

Other funds have also been made accessible to Taumutu to help in the wider Waikēkēwai restoration efforts. A draft planting and maintenance agreement is currently being considered to confirm the expenditure of this fund to assist the restoration efforts of Waikēkēwai.

This funding is for purchasing native plants to plant on the banks of Waikēkēwai within the Ngāti Moki Marae boundary. This will support the larger piece of work already being undertaken to realign the Waikēkēwai Stream bank back to its natural contour, which in turn supports our overall vision for Ōrariki Wetland restoration.

This draft agreement encapsulates the project implementation plan for the re-creation of Te Repo Orariki and works towards the vision of Te Waikēkēwai Stream Restoration and Rehabilitation Report prepared by Bridget Robilliard on behalf of Taumutu. A specific planting plan developed for plantings within the Ngāti Moki Marae grounds has been kindly prepared by Bridget and will be used to guide the purchase and placement of native riparian plants.

We have received $5000 for the purchase of native riparian plants to be grown within the grounds of Ngāti Moki Marae from Tuia and confirmed by Environment Canterbury.

Whakaora Te Ahuriri project

Ahuriri Lagoon is a significant mahinga kai resource located on the Huritini/Halswell River between Tai Tapu and Motukarara. The lagoon was drained in the 19th century and most of the area is now under the Environment Canterbury (ECan) endowment land of Ahuriri Reserves that covers approximately 250 hectares. The current function of the site is as an attenuation basin and an important part of the Halswell River Rating District management. The goal shared by ECan, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (TRoNT) and the community is to restore the site, while still retaining its function as an attenuation basin. The Te Waihora Co-Governance Group (TRoNT, ECan, the Selwyn District Council and he Christchurch City Council) has been successful in securing $1.2 million in funding to construct a wetland fed by the Huritini River that will improve water quality by, reducing nutrient and sediment passage and creating an open water area designed for mahinga kai with adjacent riparian planting and restoring the lagoon for Ngāi Tahu and the wider community. The project is guided by Te Mahere Whakahaumanu o Ahuriri/Ahuriri Lagoon Restoration Plan. The Ahuriri steering group, which includes representatives of each of the six Papatipu Rūnanga with an interest in Te Koraha and Te Waihora, has been providing an oversight of the implementation of the plan. From the input of the steering group a preliminary working design plan has been produced with more input from the group to finalise the concept design.

Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki Puketeraki Wānaka Reo

Activities on the day included: hāngī, wāhine/tāne kōrero, te reo Māori sessions, planting at Huriawa Pā, waiata and lots of eating.

On Queen’s Birthday Weekend, we held a wānaka reo for our Puketeraki whānau. We had whānau come from as far away as Hokianga, Tāmaki-makau-rau and Ōtautahi, as well as our local whānau.

We are thankful to all of our whānau who came and made this wānaka what it was. We would also like to thank our two kaumātua, Taua Khyla and Taua Hinerangi, for helping shape our wānaka.

It was a whānau orientated wānaka with almost half of those who attended being tamariki or rakatahi. It was a great opportunity for us to connect to place and people through te reo Māori, manaakitaka and whakawhanaukataka. Whānau got to experience the many different roles on our marae and learn some of our local kōrero and waiata.

Lastly to the ringawera (Harlem, Tom, Toby), Ron and Taine, and to Kotahi Mano Kāika for helping make this happen – koia kai a koutou! Check out the rest of our photos on the next page.

Squirrel on the Hill and sidekick Little Ruru, mā te wā.

Lia, one of our office staff, managed to go exploring. The Silver Peaks Scenic Reserve is situated so close to Ōtepoti yet it is surprisingly rugged country. Staying in the Philip J Cox memorial Hut she said, ‘the hut is a beautiful tribute and a privilege to stay in’.

Cyril attended the TRENZ hui in Dunedin. The hui covered all aspects of tourism. He found it very interesting and well worth the visit.

Te Kōawa Tūroa o Takitimu has had a steady stream of visitors throughout May including a large group from Adventure Development and smaller whānau groups most weekends.

The Old Urupā at Ōraka

Nā, Peter Belsham The old urupā was just down the road a wee bit from the Colac Bay School and it used to get washed out during the high spring tides, desecrating graves and scattering human bones along the beach.

We then had the task of retrieving the bones and putting them into the boxes. We all wore gloves and Dad would recite something in Māori each time we filled a box. It was such a ghostly, eerie feeling that I will never forget. We filled 15-20 boxes which were all buried back in the urupā. My grandmother, and great grandmother who lived in Colac Bay all her life and also a very knowledgeable old uncle; I knew nothing about the old urupā. Up to the present day, although there are only three headstones, the urupā is full.

One morning while we were walking to school along the beach, we discovered all these bones scattered everywhere. I was only nine or ten at the time and it sure was scary because I’d never seen human bones before. In those days there were sand hills that ran in front of the school, along to the urupā and right down to the creek at the kaik. It was in front of the urupā that we discovered the bones and even some sticking out from the sand hills.

My father contacted the Invercargill Museum about the old medal but they could offer no explanation other than it had to be extremely old. One theory offered by the museum curator was that a ship could’ve landed on our shores many, many years ago and they came to grief with the local Māori.

When I got home from school, I told my father and he went with an uncle to pick up some empty wooden fruit and butter boxes from the local shop that was run by Ivan Smith. More bones were exposed and others washed out from the sand hills during the high tides. Some were covered in a flax matting and we also found several clay smoking pipes. Some unusual finds included a small rusted up telescope, a piece of sailors cloth with a button attached to it, the remains of an old blunderbuss firearm and a very old medal.

A funny incident happened while we were burying some of the bones with two Māori ladies who were gathering mussels from the rocks further along. One of them called out, “What are you doing?” My father replied, “I’m just putting some of your ancestors back in the cemetery.” The ladies then gave us a wide berth and moved further on up the beach.

Rarotoka trip

Over the long weekend, a hardy group of volunteers made the trip to Rarotoka to complete some much needed mahi before the winter sets in and to continue the planting programme. The Pīngao along the northern side of the island was intensified with the planting of 100 plants. Gorse was removed from around the planting areas and several hundred native plants were planted. Some track maintenance work was also undertaken. A great time was had by all who attended so keep your eye open for the next volunteer opportunity to visit this wonderful place.

Te Whakaoraka

Tēnā koutou e kā manu o Murihiku, kā mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa i tenei wā tino makariri. This year we will be running the Te Whakaoraka project at our marae. This initiative is a result of funding that was applied for, and received from Te Pūtahitanga wave 7 funding round. The purpose of the Te Whakaoraka project is to provide an active, sustainable, and regenerative eco-learning space in which to deliver an array of hands-on and informative lessons in a Māori focused environment, so that we can take a holistic approach to improve three things: • Te hauora o Te taiao / The health of the environment • Te hauora o Te wai / The health of the water • Te hauora o Te takata / The health of the people

Grace Thomson, Kauia Asher Lisa McWilliam and Whae Pip picking seeds.

From now until early spring we will be planting native plants along the Aoraki stream beside the marae, propagating native eco-sourced seeds; carrying out restoration work at the Ōkōura Wetland; and installing a new, larger tunnelhouse to grow lots of organic kai. There will be an array of workshops, wānaka, and working bees throughout the year, so please check out and like the Te Whakaoraka page on Facebook to ensure that you know what is happening, where it is happening, and how you can be involved. If you would like to know more, or would like to take part in the project, please email: tewhakaoraka@gmail.com. 28

Communication with whānau

We are 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! One of the things we have done is to create an Opportunities page on Facebook. This page will carry details of any opportunities for our members such as details of Scholarships, Bird transfers, Vacancies for Representatives on various boards and much more. The link below will take you to this page.

Volunteers

We are always looking for volunteers to help out with the various projects and commitments we have. There are many roles we need help with including; representation on boards or appointment panels, helping with bird transfers, assisting at the marae or working in the nursery or wetlands. If you are keen to play a more active role within the rūnaka please contact us here at the office to discuss the options.

Recent events at the marae

April through to June has been a busy time for the marae staff with the Little Brown Kiwis group of 40 students and two guides from Singapore staying overnight at the beginning of April. The Little Brown Kiwis are regular visitors bringing groups from all over the world. Although their time spent at the marae is fleeting they like to experience as much of the culture as possible and this time they were entertained by tauira from Te Wharekura o Arowhenua with waiata and haka. The marae has also hosted a number of schools in and around Southland and Central Otago, from day visits to overnight stays. At the end of April, Shotover Primary School from Queenstown brought two groups of 50 tauira for an overnight stay over a four day period. While here they learned about the marae and heard the stories of the wharerau and wharekai and had a go at raranga under the watchful eye of Ferne Ryan.

Above: Tauira from Te Wharekura o Arowhenua performing for the Little Brown Kiwis group.

A large group of tauira, kaiako and parent helpers from St Thomas Aquinas in Winton came for a day visit on 7 May. Other educational groups included an overnight stay for Social Service tauira from SIT, tauira from Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Wānaka outpost had a three-day marae visit and teachers from Verdon College visited. Other events included a member’s birthday sleepover, a staff meeting for a local business and hui for local government departments. The second half of June is booking up with a slowdown proposed from July onwards due to the ablution block upgrade. It is hoped that there will be minimal interference with day-to-day activities for the next three months.

Taurahere Groups Ngāi Tahu ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara

Once the committee is more established we hope to work with whānau to organise wānanga but that is not likely until 2019.

The taurahere rōpū enjoyed our last hui at Petone (where we meet regularly). There is more of a committee forming and we are planning for hui on 22 July, 14 October and 2 December at Hikoikoi, 24d Marine Parade, Petone.

We have fun, laughs, great whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and kai! Thrilled that the whānau from Ōtaki and Wairarapa are also connecting with us at our hui – tumeke.

The best way to keep in touch is by Facebook: Ngāi Tahu ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. We put our hui notices out on there and will email as well if we have your email details.

See you there! Contact: karen.coutts@xtra.co.nz, 0273653993.

Mindful movement for the whole whānau “No ages, no limits.” That’s the philosophy behind a set of mindful breathing exercises developed by the All Right? campaign in partnership with Māori wellness leaders. Hikitia te Hā is a simple breathing exercise developed by Rawiri Hindle and supported by Canterbury’s All Right? campaign. Following the success of the first video, three new Hikitia te Hā videos have now been developed, with the exercises extended into tai chi, taiaha, and yoga.

have really changed. When we can clean up our breathing patterns, a whole lot of good stuff can happen for us.

Yoga Warrior owner Letesha Hallett, who is behind the yoga Hikitia te Hā video, urges everyone to try it out.

Mana says it was a challenge fusing Māori culture with Chinese tai chi, when creating the video.

“I don’t think you need to be at any stage of your life. I would just say give it a go.”

“It’s really about finding the similarities within those two cultures. I did my best to honour as much as I could and balance it.”

The video brings awareness to te Hā (breath) and acknowledges ngā atua Māori through body form and movements and is perfect for beginners.

Vaea Coe from All Right? says the three new options, based on Māori values, make Hikitia te Hā accessible to whānau of all ages.

“Using it at your own leisure is probably the most important thing. It’s there when you need it and once you do it, it’s up to you to put it in your life as much as you need it,” she says.

“Māori are leading a lot of the work around mindfulness in Ōtautahi, and we’re working alongside local Māori businesses and organisations who are experts in their art of oranga (wellbeing) to make more people aware of what’s out there and how it can help.”

Art of Wellness owner Mana Fleming modified her practise of tai chi to fit with the Hikitia te Hā framework.

Kia Kūrapa ki Tuahiwi – May

He aroaro ka huri ki te wā kāika, e kore e tau ki raro. The weekend of 25-27 May saw close to 100 Ngāi Tūāhuriri whānau and those hungry for te reo Māori gather at Tuahiwi marae for the 2018 Kia Kūrapa ki Tuahiwi. Kia Kūrapa are whānau-focused reo events designed for whānau and individuals from those just starting on their reo journey through to those with intermediate level abilities. Although this was the first time at a reo Māori event for many of the participants (and indeed the first time on a marae for some), everyone was quick to accept the many wero laid down before them! Me he manawa tītī koutou katoa! Students experienced different aspects of te reo Māori through waiata, kēmu, hītori, whanaukataka and classroom time; all led by an amazing team of kaiako – Rāhera Clark, Rāwiri Manawatu, Corban Te Aika, Karuna Thurlow, Kahu Te Whaiti, Piki Skerrett-White, Alex Solomon and Jen Smith. Our tamariki were also well supported and looked after during the classroom times by our team of Kaitiaki Tamariki – Jeanine TamatiElliffe, Carina Martin and Kahurangi Martin.

He aha rā te kupu?

Nō reira, e te taikākā o te rākau, ko koutou e kaha tautoko ana i tēnei kaupapa whakarauora reo, nei te tīma o KMK e mihi kau ana. While the kaiako did their best to challenge the hinekaro of the students, the tinana was well and truly looked after by the incredible team of rikawera in the kitchen.

Kotahi mano kāika, kotahi mano wawata

Hai Reo Tuku Iho is a 10 week, te reo Māori programme for whānau starting on their reo journey. For the whānau chosen for this pilot programme, the course started with a home visit from the kaiako followed by weekly evening hui for pakeke and tamariki, and, culminated at the Kia Kūrapa ki Tuahiwi.

A huge mihi to all the whānau involved for their commitment and effort. Mei kore ake koutou hai whakatinanataka o tō tātou nei rautaki whakarauora reo. Aoraki Matatū e!

Murumāra

He continued his te reo Māori journey lecturing at Waikato, Otago and Auckland universities. Murumāra will be remembered for his contribution to the growth and development of te reo Māori, including authoring the popular te reo resource series Te Whanake and its digital applications.

Kurupākara ana te māra a Te Whanake i te korokī, i te tīhau a kā manu. Ko te reo Māori kia rere ai i tipu mai i Te Kākano. Ko Te Pihinga ko tupu. E te takata kōhure i kōkiritia tō tātou reo Māori, e Murumāra e. Ka heke a roimata, ka heke a hupe hai reo i te haumūmūtaka o tō weheka. Waiho mā māhuri tōtara mā koe e mihi. Nāu te māra i tiritiri, nā mātou te mahara i tiritiri. Mā reira e tū mai anō ai he māhuri, e tiu anō ai, e korihi anō ai kā manu o te wao.

For those of us who had the privilege of studying or working with Murumāra we find strength in his legacy and pride in his work.

It is with sadness that we farewell Professor John Moorfield, Murumāra. Murumāra was a Pākehā academic who learnt te reo Māori as a youth attending St Stephen’s school.

Ko mahue mātou i te mura o te ahi, kia whitawhita tonu te hatete o te reo. E Murumāra, muramura atu koe i te raki. E kore e hekeheke, he kākano rakatira.

Te Ao Tūroa - TRoNT Environment Team Kaitiakitanga in Action Wānanga

Those who are interested in developing their understanding of this environmental kaupapa or sharing their local perspectives are also warmly welcome. We will be able to assist with travel costs if you get in touch with us early.

Ōtākou Marae 9-11 August 2018 ‘Defining our vision - as Kaitiaki.’

The ‘Kaitiakitanga in Action’ wānanga will be held at the Ōtākou marae starting with a pōwhiri in the late afternoon of Thursday 9 August. The wānanga follows on from the ‘Taonga Species’ wānanga in Murihiku in September last year. The wānanga will include information and perspectives from around the takiwā and beyond.

Please register your interest in attending by contacting Sarah Wilson: sarah.wilson@ngaitahu.iwi.nz

Friday 10 August will be an opportunity to learn from each other and grow our vision as it relates to being kaitiaki. On Saturday 11 August we will focus on identifying our tribal priorities and developing strategies to build our capacity from the ground up. You can join us for the whole or part of the wānanga. The wānanga is aimed at Ngāi Tahu whānui who are working on behalf of their Papatipu Rūnanga and iwi on environmental kaupapa. This includes all our tribal representatives on conservation boards and species recovery groups. Rauhine Coakley from Hīkoi Waewae in Paparoa.

Te Ao Tūroa - postgraduate scholarship

Te Tauira a Te Kaiwhakatere This scholarship is a fully funded placement for students of Ngāi Tahu descent on the Postgraduate Certificate in Antarctic Studies course (PCAS), offered by the University of Canterbury.

require students to have at least a Bachelor’s degree as a prerequisite. PCAS is run over a 14-week long summer programme at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch so applicants must be able to commit to being onsite during part of that time.

After a brief hiatus, it was re-established by a previous recipient Nigel Scott in 2016. Since then, two Ngāi Tahu tauira have embarked on the adventure of a lifetime to Antarctica as Te Tauira a Te Kaiwhakatere.

From mid-November to Christmas the course is generally very intensive, with lectures or seminars and group work on most days from 9-5pm. It also includes a two-day field trip to the Canterbury high country in late November and 10 days of field work experience in Antarctica at the end of the 2018-2019 summer. . Eligibility - applicants must be able to provide evidence of the following • Registration with the Ngāi Tahu Whakapapa Unit • A degree or equivalent in science, arts, humanities, law, policy, commerce, engineering, social sciences or technology • Pass a medical examination as prescribed by Antarctica New Zealand • A reasonable level of fitness is required for the Antarctica field component. Participants are expected to be able to complete a four hour hike over rough terrain.

Nigel is a principal advisor for the environment team at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu (TRoNT) and wanted to see the oral histories of Kāi Tahu exploration to Antarctica kept alive, as well as foster an awareness and interest in issues surrounding the continent. Rata Pryor Rodgers, a member of the Strategy and Influence team at TRoNT, was the first Te Tauira a te Kaiwhakatere recipient in 2016 and Tasman Gillies, a member of Te Ao Tūroa (Environment Team) at TRoNT, followed in 2017. The scholarship name translates to ‘The Helmsman’s Apprentice’ and references the Ngāi Tahu pou whenua at Scott Base, named Navigator of the Heavens. This pou whenua, carved by master carver Fayne Robinson, captures the ancestral stories of waka helmsman guiding voyages to the ice, using only the stars as a map.

Applications to the Tauira a Te Kaiwhakatere Scholarship close 31 July 2018. For more information or to request an application pack, please contact us at info@ngaitahu.iwi.nz or 0800 KAI TAHU.

Applicants don’t need to be currently studying or have a science or environmental background to be eligible for the scholarship, but the PCAS course does

Ngāi Tahu Archives

Carolyn Atkinson has also been in touch and shared the following information. Caroline Hunt was the daughter of Riria Te Auta and James Hunt. She had a daughter – Caroline Elizabeth Bennett by Joseph Bennett. This child (Caroline Elizabeth Bennett) was brought up as the eldest of the Goodwillie family after her mother married Charles Goodwillie. Caroline Elizabeth Bennett married William Mackintosh. This is who is buried in Invercargill. Both Caroline (aka Kuini) and Charles Goodwillie are buried in Riverton. Things get complicated when names are repeated through the generations.

Over the past three issues, the images below and on the opposite page have been published on the back page of Te Pānui Rūnaka requesting that information or names be provided about their location and those people in the photographs. We have had some awesome feedback from quite a number of people. This month we would like to thank and acknowledge Robbie Titchener for making contact and also Ruth Ivey who phoned and let us know the following:

Carolyn also indicated to us that she is happy to receive emails from anyone who may want to contact her in regards to the Goodwillie whānau. Please contact either Robyn Walsh or Tania Nutira for these details.

Kuini (also known as Caroline) in the photograph, was first married to James Wevill. Kuini and James had a daughter also known as Kuini (or Caroline). After James Wevill drowned, Kuini Senior then married Charles Goodwillie. Kuini, the daughter, took the surname of Goodwillie – she then married James Mackintosh and became Kuini Mackintosh.

We appreciate the continued feedback we receive from iwi members in response to our request for names and information relating to photos we publish for Whakaahua Tīpuna Whānau.

Diana Ackland also called and advised that her grandmother, Mary Kitchingham (née Goodwillie) was the daughter of Caroline (Kuini) and Charles Taare (William) Goodwillie.

If you are able to provide any further information regarding these series of photographs please contact Robyn Walsh or Tania Nutira, Ngāi Tahu Archives Unit on 0800 KAI Tahu (0800 524 8248).

We would also like to acknowledge Robyn Cook (née Crocome) who sent us these photographs. Her grandmother was Estelle Irene Goodwillie who was the daughter of Charles William Goodwillie and Elizabeth Lyon from Temuka.

On the day our graduates received a Whenua Kura toki pounamu carved by Southland artist Gavin Thompson. They also received a wonderful book from Hokonui Runanga titled ‘Mauri Ora - Wisdom from the Māori World’ by Alsop and Kupenga. Special thanks to our partners, Taratahi Institute of Agriculture and Telford who have been very supportive, understanding and accommodating of our tauira. It makes the world of difference to know you care..

Whenua Kura Celebration 2018

Over 100 whānau, funders, training providers and tauira gathered on a chilly winters day in Hokonui to celebrate the achievements of 11 Whenua Kura students who recently completed their L3 Certificates in either dairy farming, sheep and beef farming or apiculture at Telford in Balclutha.

To Terry Nicholas and the staff at Hokonui Rūnanga we thank you for your support and pastoral care that has been a major contributing factor in the success of our students. Whānau Ora navigator, Melissa Dennis, was instrumental in providing the ‘over and above’ services and face-to-face engagement with our tauira.

Whenua Kura Kaiarahi, Hemi Inia says “not only was this a celebration of achievement, it also acknowledged the courage of our tauira in relocating their lives to Southland to study; their maturity to make life changing decisions and remain in Te Waipounamu to continue their journey into employment; and, finally their resilience and vision to stand tall and proud as Māori and take on the challenge to be the next generation of Māori leaders in the agriculture sector.”

Whenua Kura has a range of primary sector training programmes on offer throughout Aotearoa. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us by email: info@whenuakura.co.nz phone: 0800 524 8248 or check out the website: www.whenuakura.co.nz

Of the graduates, over half (64 per cent) were female, 82 per cent are from Te Ika a Māui and 82 per cent have gone on to employment on farms in Te Waipounamu. Our aim is to have all our graduates in employment by the end of June.

Jamie Cragg-Love (Ngāi Tahu, Te Atiawa, Ngāti Rarua, Ngāti Toa Rangatira) with Melissa Cragg and Pryor Lee. Jamie graduated with the NZ Certificate in Sheep & Beef Farming and is working as a Shepard on the Glenroy Station in Owaka.

Whenua Kura graduation at Hokonui Rūnanga in Gore. Graduates with Telford staff and Whānau Ora Navigator, Melissa Dennis.

George Hawkins (Ngāti Kahungunu) from Masterton graduated with the NZ Certificate in Sheep & Beef Farming. George is currently working as a Shearer in Waihola.

Paeone Monika Dean (Ngāi Tahu, Kahungunu) from Masterton graduated with the Telford Certificate in Apiculture. Paeone is currently working as a Rousey in Waihola.

She also plans to stay close to home while her mother battles Stage 4 cancer. Her mother was diagnosed days before Lucy started university and it has only increased her drive to get into medicine. For Savanah Stewart (Ngāi Tahu), spare time is also something of a luxury. Savanah is in her third and final year of a Medical Imaging degree. In addition to her medical studies Savanah has completed a certificate in te reo. Once she has graduated she will then go on to full-time postgraduate study – a Diploma of Advanced Image Interpretation and a Diploma in Māori Studies. She hopes to find a job in the new section of Christchurch Hospital once it opens.

Pegasus Health – Christchurch

Kia atawhai ki te tangata – Care for the people Medical student Lucy Munro (Ngāi Tahu) has a deeply personal interest in healthcare. As the oldest tamaiti in her whānau, Lucy was around while her mother was pregnant with her siblings, during the birth process and enjoyed helping with them as they grew.

Vince Barry, CEO of Pegasus Health says “Pegasus is proud to offer these scholarships to such a hardworking group of health students. There is no doubt they will all contribute significantly to their respective fields and that patients will benefit. We are particularly aware of the long standing inequities in health for Māori, Pasifika and people from CALD communities. These scholarships are just one small way we can help support patients from these communities”.

After studying health science for a year in Dunedin, Lucy decided she wanted a more ‘hands-on’ medical career. She is currently in her fifth year of medical study and will graduate as a doctor at the end of 2019. Lucy is one of this year’s Pegasus Health Workforce Development Scholarships recipients. Each year Pegasus Health invites students who identify as Māori, Pasifika or from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities who are studying medicine, nursing or allied health to apply for these scholarships.

Seven students received Māori scholarships this year. Pacific scholarships were awarded to eight Pasifika health students and a further eight students from CALD communities received scholarships.

Currently living in her home town of Christchurch, Lucy has plans for a rural general practice placement and a medical elective in Tanzania next year.

In applying for a scholarship, each of the applicants had to write a 500-word essay about their backgrounds and their reasons for pursuing a career in health.

“The plan was always to come home and practice medicine in Christchurch. The rural placement and overseas elective will be wonderful experiences. However, they do cost and that’s where the Pegasus scholarship will be so useful,” says Lucy.

Analysis of the initiatives showed that whānau used their experience to maximise the opportunity to make a difference in an area which they have knowledge and skills.They worked in a strengths-based way to bring about change for whānau and create opportunities for social and cultural connection.

Whānau shine in front of review panel

This month Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu hosted the Whānau Ora Review panel which kicked off its review of the commissioning approach in Christchurch.

The most recent initiatives were focused on whenua, cultural and te reo revitalisation, marae and community, disability advocacy and community, whānau resilience, wellbeing, and enterprise.

A range of presenters spoke about the critical components that make Whānau Ora a success including Linda Ngata (Whānau Ora Connect), linking in with navigators working with whānau in the aftermath of the Kaikōura earthquakes and Ruth Jones of He Whakapiki Mauri supporting whānau with disabilities.

Whānau Ora initiatives contribute to current understandings of economic and social wellbeing through a collective, ancestral, or Māori way of living; providing an opportunity for new indigenous systems and networked approaches. The capability development model intends to build the ability of whānau to respond positively to the challenges and opportunities within their lives. It’s about enabling whānau to realise their aspirations by harnessing the strengths and skills they already have.

They heard from whānau at Corstorphine Community Hub in Dunedin and their work to strengthen families, promote wellness and improve access to services and from Bros for Change and their work with rangatahi. Hale Compound Conditioning presented on the importance of working to help keep whānau fit and healthy in Christchurch, particularly after the impacts of the earthquakes.

The commissioning model is designed to be economically efficient and capable of generating long-term transformative change with a lower investment than traditional service delivery.

We also showcased the outcomes being achieved in our accelerator programme, Te Papori o Whakatere; which provides intensive support to whānau entities.

Ihi Research director and researcher Dr. Catherine Savage said a feature of the initiatives is that the impact is wide and varied across the system.

There was hardly a dry eye in the house when twins, Aka and Tanemahuta, performed their original composition, ‘No more violence’, a waiata they dedicated to the memory of the late Tania Mataki who had inspired so many of us with her courage and brave advocacy to keep all our whānau safe. Their taua, Gwyneth Beard, explained how the boys had come into her care after the tragic death of their mother, and that it was her greatest responsibility to give them the best life possible. Listening to their sweet harmonies it was evident to us all that these were two cherished mokopuna.

“It is challenging to quantify or measure all the capability being built through the commissioning approach. The outcome may be a new enterprise, a healthy tāne living free from drugs, or a whānau committing to learning te reo for their pēpi.”

The panel were given the opportunity to explore the aspects of the commissioning model that act as enablers and barriers to advancing whānau aspirations, directly or in partnership with others. Te Taumata, our iwi council shared their vision for Whānau Ora which was presented by Amoroa Luke MNZM and Gena Moses-Te Kani. They explained the uniqueness of our model because it is iwi led and directly invests in whānau for social impact to bring about positive intergenerational change. More than 140 initiatives have been established since the agency was launched in 2014. We have also invested in 51 Whānau Ora navigators who have specialist skills to work with whānau with high and complex needs across the South Island. Christchurch based Ihi Research has analysed the initiatives funded through the first six waves of the commissioning pipeline, concluding that Whānau Ora goals are being realised through a whānau led approach.

“I began my internship in June last year after moving up from Invercargill. I had almost no whānau here in Christchurch but everyone at TRoNT was so supportive and quickly became my family away from home. The networking opportunities this internship has given me have been invaluable. Meeting new people, especially people that are passionate about Ngāi Tahu has been awesome. Having this exposure so early on in my career provides such valuable learning and is an experience that not many people my age have had. My personal development has also been immense over the past year and I feel blessed to have such an awesome job!” - Sean Bragg, Ngāi Tahu intern 2015
