Nä te Kaiwhakahaere

This has been a busy month for environmental projects. A particular highlight was the signing of the rejuvenation program for Te Waihora, Whakaora Te Waihora, on Thursday 25 August 2011. In addition, Environment Canterbury, Ngāi Tahu and Te Waihora Management Board signed an interim co-governance agreement which establishes a framework for the active management of Te Waihora and its catchment. These agreements signal a new approach to management of natural resources in the region, one which brings together the tikanga responsibilities of Ngāi Tahu and the statutory responsibilities of Environment Canterbury. I note also that by the time this edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka is published, Environment Southland and Te Ao Marama will have launched the latest State of the Environment reports for the Murihiku region – in itself another important achievement.

In this issue of Te Pānui Rūnaka, we are pleased to announce another year of strong financial results and tribal achievements. Despite the upheavals and disruptions caused by a year of significant earthquake events, the end of year results set out in this report are extremely pleasing. These results are a just reward for the commitment and courage of our whānau, staff and businesses – when we consider the volatility of the global marketplace on top of our regional disaster, then we can all feel very proud of what has been achieved, not only the financial success but most importantly the ongoing sense of unity and shared purpose.

I was personally proud to be involved with the Kaikōura Coastal Marine Guardians/Te Korowai o Te Tai ō Marokura in the release of “Sustaining our Sea”, which is the guardian’s proposed Strategy for managing the the Kaikōura coastal area. The Strategy proposes changes to the recreational fishing rules for Kaikōura, a marine reserve and a marine mammal sanctuary and seven Māori fishing reserves, as well as other environmental protection mechanisms. It is open for public submissions until December 2.

Ngāi Tahu Holdings Corporation (NTHC) and the subsidiaries have done very well. NTHC’s net operating surplus of $37.28 was up $1.77m (5%) on the previous year and NTHC shareholder equity increased by $23.36m to $519.06m. In addition to the earthquake recovery work, the Office managed to deliver on most of the tribal programmes aligned with our 2025 aspirations. A highlight would have to be the ever increasing fulfillment of our Te Whakaariki aspirations, where we are contributing in partnership with Crown entities in such important projects as the restoration and rejuvenation of Te Waihora and of course, working with the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA), the wider community and other agencies to ensure a credible and sustainable rebuild of Ōtautahi.

As well as the summary of the Annual Report, I invite you to take time to read the latest report from Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu earthquake recovery group. This group will continue to report back to whānau as it oversees the distribution of more than one million dollars to assist mainly whānau and rūnanga, but also those in most need. You can read the Awheawhe Rū Whenua report on page 31.

A summary of the Annual Report for 2010-2011 is in the centre of this edition of Te Pānui Rūnaka. I encourage you to read it and also to take a look at the full financial report which is on the website at www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz. If you would like a hard copy of the full annual report, please call the contact centre on 0800 KAI TAHU (0800 524 8248) and we will post one out to you.

And finally a special congratulations to Te Puawaitanga Ki Ōtautahi Trust, whose on-going work following the earthquake has earned them this year’s Public Health Association Tu Rangatira Mo Te Ora award.

Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura Ngā mate Our condolences go to the Papworth whānau especially to Whaea Phyliss on the loss of her husband George Papworth. Also to the Taylor whānau who lost a husband, dad, grandfather and great-grandfather when Turia Taylor passed away; and to the Clayton whānau for the loss of uncle Ray Clayton.

Whānau trip to Tapuae O Uenuku At 6am on the morning of 9 June, the Māori Tours van did the rounds picking up whānau for our journey (only one whānau member was still asleep). We planned to travel up our maunga and then raft down our awa. By 6.45am we were all dressed in thermals, wetsuits and life jackets, waiting for the sunrise to check out conditions for the day.

Rā whānau Happy birthday to everyone who is celebrating a birthday this month.

Back Row: Mary Watson, Neihana Manawatu, Ranui Manawatu, Aaron manawatu, Sara Watson and Hama Manawatu. Front Row: Maurice Manawatu, Michael Manawatu and Jim Manawatu. Once the sun came up we had a good view of Tapuae O Uenuku; there was a little worrying cloud around the maunga, so we waited 20 minutes with fingers crossed. Luckily it cleared just in time. So all nine of us jumped in our bus and began our journey. Our bus took us down alongside the river to our first stop where we waited for our adventure to begin! As anticipation built you could hear a faint clattering beat that got louder and LOUDER and not long after we could see the two bright blue helicopters coming over the mountain ridge. Whānau were very excited about traveling in our new waka. We packed the helicopters with all our gear, and the first lot of whānau was off soaring up the mountain, while the rest of us watched and waited for the second trip.

From left to right, Chair of Te Korowai, John Nicholls, Minster for the environment Nick Smith and Maurice Manawatu.

After an exciting and nerve-racking helicopter ride we were ready to set off on our six hour rafting experience down the Waiautoa. After two hours we stopped for a much needed lunch break, then we carried on as we had a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time. After another two hours we stopped for our second break and to look at an old mataī tree just inland from the river, before embarking on the final part of our rafting adventure. Finally after six hours of solid rafting and night fall approaching we had completed our journey of sacredness, up our maunga and down our awa. This was a once in a lifetime experience and something we will remember forever. We would like to thank Clarence River Rafting and Kaikōura Helicopters for making this trip possible. Nā Sara Watson

Over 200 people attended the launch and were warmly welcomed on to the marae and into our wharenui to hear the announcement. Speeches were made by Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Mark Solomon, Chair of Te Korowai John Nicholls, Minister for the Environment Nick Smith and Chair of Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura Maurice Manawatu. The strategy allows Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura to have more input into the management of the Kaikōura coastline from the Clarence to the Conway, with pockets of reserved Mātaitai and Taiāpure to ensure we can continue to practice traditional food gathering in areas our people have been using for centuries.

Te Korowai o Te Tai o Marokura On the first day of spring, after six years of discussion, Te Korowai o Te Tai ō Marokura, Kaikōura Costal Marine Guardians released their proposed strategy for managing the Kaikōura coastline at Takahanga Marae. The proposed strategy is now open for public submissions until 2 December. Te Korowai welcomes and encourages people to submit in writing, on the strategy. People can access the strategy or get a submission form by visiting www.teamkorowai.org.nz or calling 03 319 6586 or 027 516 1715.

Kaikōura Peninsula Taiāpure. Chair of Te Korowai John Nicholls explained the changes suggested by the proposed strategy, including changes to recreational fishing rules, a marine reserve, a marine mammal sanctuary and Mātaitai and Taiāpure.

gifted concessions to sustain the integrity of the whole resource for the future. “The Strategy shows that Māori and Pākehā, fishermen, tourism operators, environmentalists, councils and government agencies can negotiate their differences and work for the good of future generations.” Te Korowai is made up of a group of local organisations including representatives from Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura (Ngāti Kurī), local fishers (recreational and commercial), tourism operators, Forest and Bird and others with an interest in the Kaikōura marine environment. Te Korowai have worked with local knowledge and the best science available to define the strategy, which aims to create better fisheries and protect taonga, while sustaining both the coastline and customary practices.

Maurice Manawatu, Chair of Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura said six years ago we went to Chris Carter the Minister of Conservation and asked for his support in protecting our whales, fisheries and whole Kaikōura marine environment.

Getting lasting solutions means really listening to each other and cutting the cloth to fit. We have made our proposals for mātaitai, as small as we could to reduce the effects on commercial pāua fishers.” Nicholls said,“We have offered shared governance of the Taiāpure with the whole community. We have agreed to stop fishing in the marine reserve near Barney’s Rock in the area we call Ote Makura. These are big concessions, but we think they are worth it so that our grandchildren can experience the richness of marine resources that we have had in the past.” Over the past six years Te Korowai has reached consensus on the proposed strategy by using the philosophy of gifts and gains, where each group has

A huge mihi to all of our Kaikōura whānau that have helped out over the last six years at Te Korowai hui, and to the ringawera on the day; too much whānau!

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae Tā Kingi Ihaka award Congratulations to Maika Mason who received he tohu a tā kingi ihaka from Te Waka Toi acknowledging the research and great work Maika has been engaged in over the years, particularly with pounamu. Maika’s Son, Andrew received the tohu on his behalf at the award ceremony held in Wellington. Andrew Mason receiving Maika’s tohu on his father’s behalf.

Dates and venues are still being confirmed so keep an eye on our web page, as we will update it as dates are set!

[Picture to come] We are thrilled to advise that we have received confirmation that four areas within our rohe have been gazetted as Mātaitai reservation reserves!

We are planning a whānau social night (pool, darts, cards and so on), a kaumātua dinner, a Christmas pool party (see maramataka later in this article) and a whānau sports day in March next year.

They are: 1. Manakaiaua/Hunts Beach 2. Mahitahi 3. Tauperikaka 4. Okuru/Mussel Point.

Bruce Bay Sports Day is set for Sunday 23 October. Our kōmiti will be organising the children’s activities on the day.

Mātaitai Reserves gives tangata whenua authorisation to manage and control the non-commercial harvest of seafood through a local committee. Tangata tiaki or kaitiaki can then recommend bylaws (to the Minister) so that seafood in the reserve can be sustainably managed.

Mātaitai reservation applications Our tangata tiaki, kaitiaki have been working with the rūnanga to have our nine (identified) traditional fishing areas gazetted as Mātaitai reserves. The process to achieve this is a long one, requiring two submission rounds and consultation hui, as well as specific hui with affected and interested parties, such as commercial and recreational fishing groups.

Maramataka calendar (events) Hui rūnanga nui executive meeting. This is generally held on the first Saturday each month. The next hui is scheduled for 5 November at 9.00am at our wharemahi in Hokitika.

Of the nine areas, we have identified five that need ongoing work and have lodged applications for the four remaining areas.

If you are attending, for catering purposes, please contact the office.

Waiata Waiata sessions are being held in our office in Hokitika every second Tuesday of the month from 6.30pm until 8.00pm. Nau mai, haere mai!

Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga Tēnā koutou katoa We are happy to announce that a new whare will be erected commencing this year. The existing whare will be demolished in October. The marae trustees and Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga executive have decided that the marae will be unavailable after the weekend of 8 - 9 October. On Saturday 8 October from 10am whānau are invited to attend the final day, to poroporoaki the whare and to bring along kai to share with whānau and hapū.

Awesome footage was captured of our kaumātua positioned in front of Mahaanui. The kaumātua enjoyed the afternoon with the whānau from Fatboy Films and the BNZ Bank and the experience of being part of an awesome initiative. Both Aunty Pat and Aunty Toko showed their appreciation by singing them a waiata before they had to leave for another shoot.

Dr Te Maire Tau Secretary for Tuahiwi Marae Trustees and Aroha H Reriti-Crofts CBE JP Secretary/Treasurer Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga Inc Video shoot held at the Marae Recently BNZ Bank sponsored the production of a music video to support the people of Christchurch following the recent earthquakes. Fatboy Films who produced the music video, captured footage of several groups, schools, organisations and companies as part of the music video. The song, Not Many Cities is a remake version of Scribe’s hit, Not Many If Any. Fatboy Films approached Ngāi Tūāhuriri to take part in the music video and on Monday 29 August, the production crew visited Ngāi Tūāhuriri kaumātua at Tuahiwi Marae.

Joseph Hullen was fortunate enough to be sponsored by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Outward Bound Trust of New Zealand to attend a 21 day Outward Bound

Masters Course at Anakiwa in July. His account of the experience follows:

The three night and three day solo helped to refresh the body and to give us time to refocus on our core values and future.

[Insert Picture: Cutter lookout.]

Having completed the Masters Course I am grateful to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Outward Bound Trust of New Zealand for the opportunity. I thank my Hillary watch mates and all the other course students for the camaraderie and inspiration and finally the instructors for their support and guidance. I recommend that anyone wishing to reassess their life goals, core values or to learn more about themselves and their capabilities answer the wero; “Kei waiho koe hei tawai i kā rā o te oraka” and complete either an Aoraki Bound or an Outward Bound course.

Joseph Hullen on-board a cutter in the Malborough Sounds. A quick google and a few questions to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu staff who had completed an Aoraki Bound or Outward Bound course indicated this would be a memorable experience.

A final word of thanks to Michelle a facilitator for Aoraki Bound and a special word of thanks to Dan the Course Co-ordinator for his words of motivation to me at the eight kilometre mark in our half marathon “Tahu Pōtiki, Maraka! Maraka!

And so it would prove to be, from the moment during the pōwhiri when students and instructors swayed and ducked as two kererū swooped low before perching in a nearby kahikatea tree while korimako (bell birds) sang from a nearby kōwhai tree until the end of our poroporoaki 20 days later.

Kaumātua kapahaka In last month’s issue we mentioned the Kapahaka Kaumātua o Ngāi Tūāhuriri who recently performed three times in Wellington. Below are some photos of the event featuring some of the most beautiful wahine of Tūāhuriri!!

In between we would be asked to challenge ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally, learn more about ourselves and others through self-reflection and feedback and realise that in the words of Kurt Hahn “plus est en vous” there is more in you. Each morning we would exercise and then run 3.2 kilometres always challenged to beat our previous personal best and then enjoy our reward of a compulsory swim in Queen Charlotte Sound, all before breakfast.

[Insert photo: Kaumātua Kapahaka 1.] Kaumätua performing at Te Papa.

Various outdoor activities such as sailing, kayaking, and bush navigation helped us develop self-awareness, confidence and motivation, experience success as part of a team, learn to create effective relationships and to realise the decisions we make affect not just us but many others reinforcing the Ngāi Tahu whakataukī; “Mō tātou, ā mō kā uri ā muri ake nei”. Activities such as the high ropes course, the daily 3.2 kilometre runs, rock climbing, 45-minute timed runs and the half marathon, challenge students to take personal responsibility, to set goals high, to persevere and to give it all.

[Insert Caption:] [Insert photo: Kapahaka 2.]

All students also participate in an act of Active Citizenship, doing something of benefit to the local community or environment, motivating them to have more respect for their environment and experience and understand what it means to be of service.

The kererü seems to be have become a full time resident. It is beautiful to have a kereru back home. It is something we have not seen in many years. We are hoping his or her partner and the whole whānau will be joining us shortly. As this article goes to press we have had word that our new friend to Moki has had an accident and flew into the dinning room window. Probably wanting to share some of the yummy delights Sissy and Rosalie create. The kererü is now in care with DOC we hope he or she may return home soon.

Te Waihora news On a brisk winters morning on May 30, Taumutu whānau gathered to support those who would give evidence to change the water conservation order and convince the three commissioner that the changes were needed. Those giving evidence were Aunty Ake Johnson, Sir Tipene O’Regan and Donald Brown, supported by Mark Solomon, David O’Connell, Craig Pauling and others who brought their experience to the hearing. Whānau from other rūnanga were also present to give their support as was the Te Waihora management board chairperson. I would also like to pay tribute to our legal team Jen Crawford, Lisa Smith and others who carried out their duties for the four days with a professional attutude. My personal thanks to Te Mairiki Williams for his valuable time in doing the karakia for us, plus Puamiria and Tania.

After many weeks of waiting we received the news that we had got 80 per cent of what we wanted was approved and all though it was not 100 per cent I think we were lucky to get what we did.

On a bright sunny day at Ngāti Moki Marae the people gathered to witness the signing of the documents by the Minister Nick Smith followed by others. And now let the hard work begin. Regards Uncle Pat Nutira

What the signing means? The signing was of a co-governance agreement between Environment Canterbury, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Te Waihora Management Board. Which means they are going to work together towards the realisation of outcomes aimed at the restoration and rejuvenation of the values of the lake and catchment. Over the coming months (by February 2012) they will build on this interim agreement by developing an enduring co-governance structure (by February 2012). The interim arrangement is informal and non-statutory and will have functions which include: • Development of a long-term co-governance agreement • Provision for the governance group (the Te Waihora Management Board together with Environment Canterbury Commissioners) to provide input into decision-making on matters relating to the lake

The key changes include: • The words Te Waihora in front of Lake Ellesmere in the title of the Water Conservation Order and throughout the document, in line with current accepted practice. • Expanding the list of the lake’s “outstanding features” to include habitat for indigenous wetland vegetation and fish and significance in relation to tikanga Māori in respect of Ngāi Tahu history, mahinga kai and customary fisheries. (The 1990 Water Conservation Order only referred to wildlife habitat.) • Allowing additional lake openings at any level, primarily to aid eel migration, from April 1 to June 15. Go to page 36 for more on Te Waihora.

and its management (for example statutory plans, review of regional and Selwyn-Waihora Zone Implementation Plans, the appointment of hearing commissioners) • Oversight of the restoration programme (called Whakaora Te Waihora) which is part-funded by government • Provision for discussions with key stakeholders on the part they will play in the long term management of Te Waihora. The Selwyn District Council plays a pivotal role in the management of the physical resources of the lake and catchment and the parties will work closely with Selwyn District Council to ensure its special relationship is recognised and provided for appropriately in the new arrangements. The signing of a co-governance agreement for the active management of Te Waihora is a specific goal contained in the Canterbury Water Management Strategy. The Te Waihora Management Board, an advisory body for Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, comprises representatives of the six Papatipu Rūnanga of mid Canterbury who have interests in Te Waihora. The Board’s composition is in recognition of whakapapa, kaitiaki roles and the flaxroots local knowledge of the Te Waihora environment held by the Board members and their respective Papatipu Rūnanga.

Free vegetables coming this summer After discussions with our Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) contracts manager we are happy to notify the community that our community garden plots are now available to all community members. With the price of vegetables being at an all time high this is an opportunity for communities and whānau of all ethnicity and backgrounds to grow fresh vegetables for the table. Waiora Trust has, for the past three years opened up its property to whānau and community groups to grow fresh vegetables as part of our Māori community action plan. However; as part of our Earthquake recovery strategy we are opening up this service to everyone. We provide everything you need to succeed including: • The land • The seeds and plant • Tools • Knowledge and support • Practical help. All you need to do: • Get a group of six dedicated friends or whänau members together • Have everyone come to work in the garden for at least 1 hour per week! While the vegetables are free we do ask for a small one off koha to cover the cost of a sign for your plot as well as some tea and coffee for your group to enjoy. This has been a hugely beneficial service over the past three years with hundreds of individuals harvesting corn, cabbage, potatoes, lettuces, beetroot, tomatoes and numerous other veggies to take home to their community groups and whanau. It has helped young mothers reduce their shopping bill, community groups feed their clients and whānau teach their children about the importance of gardening and healthy eating. Just as importantly it has helped reduce the financial stress on families and helped them put vegetables on the table. If you are interested and would like a registration form, or further information please contact Ricky Ehau via e-mail on ricky@waioratrust.org.nz Gardens start in a few weeks so don’t hesitate as plots are limited.

Receiving the Yamada O'Regan Scholarship has been a huge support for Maggie who attended her school studies and sports activities during and after school. The result she has achieved has made us proud of her. Nā Kathy Wanoa Another Benji Marshall in the making? Congratulations to Te Kaio Cranwell who, under the coaching of Russell Tuuta, had a very successful league season with the Kaiapoi Northern Bulldogs Under 6 Blue Team. In addition to winning three ‘Player of the Day’ awards during the season, Te Kaio was awarded ‘Sportsmanship of the Year’. In total the Kaiapoi Northern Bulldogs Under 6 Blues won 13 of their 17 games a feat even Benji Marshall and the Kiwis would be proud of. Over the season Te Kaio ran in 28 tries, which is pretty impressive given this is his first season playing league. Tau kēke Te Kaio! Keep up the awesome work and who knows, there may be a Kiwi League jersey with your name on it.

A big mihi to our very own Takerei Norton (Kāti Irakehu) from the Rongopatahi and Stevens whānau for winning another ITM Championship with the Canterbury Rugby Team. Takerei has amassed 11 games in the last two seasons and is hoping to once again represent the red and black of Canterbury next year to reach the magical 12 games, so he can gain his Canterbury blazer. So look out for Takerei over the coming summer, pounding the streets of Belfast hitting the gym and doing yoga to reach his goal. Karawhiua Takerei.

Te Kaio with his sportsmanship of the year award.

Congratulations – Maggie Wanoa Recipient of the Yamada O’Reagan Scholarship Maggie Wanoa was selected in the Auckland Māori Women’s rugby team. She also was selected in the Northern Regional Māori Women’s team - a huge achievement for her as this has been her first time in a women's rep rugby team.

Te Rūnanga o Waihao Bushtown – plant the mighty tōtara Waihao have donated a tōtara tree to be planted at Bushtown Heritage Park in Waimate. Bushtown was established to recognise the bush as a great resource in the Waimate and Canterbury region and to recognise the contribution of bush-related industry to the area. Bushtown features a range of displays and an interactive facility for the public and education groups to learn about and appreciate the last 150 years of the industry and resource in the area. To celebrate the mighty tōtara forests that were once endemic in the Waimate area, Bushtown has undertaken a Heritage tōtara forest planting project. Te Rūnanga o Waihao Inc has taken up the opportunity to be involved and plant a tōtara, which will have a plaque commemorating the gift. The planting will take place to coincide with the AGM on 9 October, and you are welcome to join us on this commemorative day. The time has been tentatively set for 11am but if you plan to attend please contact the office to confirm the date and time and to assist with assessing numbers and arrangements needed.

Congratulations to Ella Hayes At 11-years-old Ella Hayes has been selected for the South Canterbury [Insert picture Hayes] Development Rep Hockey team. She has shown particular interest in being a goalie and is being coached for that position. The team will play games in Otago, Christchurch and South Canterbury. We love to hear about and to share the successes of our whānau to inspire success and empowerment in all our people, so please share with us! Congratulations Jalen Forgie

Uncle Dave Thomas had his first view of ripper rugby when he watched his greatgrandson, Jalen Forgie, playing in his last game of the season. It was Jalen’s first season and he scored numerous rips and tries for his team - taieri gold throughout the year. Uncle Dave witnessed Jalen making a run straight from taieri gold’s goal line to the pirates goal line to score a great try. At the presentations later on in the day the Thomas and Forgie whānau were very excited when Jalen won the trophy for most important player for the year in the Under 5’s.

The history of Waihao We continue to gather the stories of our people. We would love to hear from people who have particular knowledge of the history of Waihao and its community, of any age. Do you or someone you know want to contribute to the story of our people? If so please contact the office for further information.

Jennifer’s trip overseas After much planning and anticipation, Jennifer Thomas and her partner embarked on an overseas visit to Japan, Europe and Hong Kong during May and June. The Japanese section was to visit a selection of cities, tourist centres, and a cat. Her partner has a model layout of Japanese railways, so train travel was extensive from old trams to the latest bullet train. Walking the streets of Tokyo, Osaka, Otaru and others, and visiting the large

castle at Kumamoto. The cat, called Tama, is the official ‘Chief Stationmaster’ at an inland town near Wakayama, the area hit by a typhoon. The cat has her own office, and stays at the station every day, a building that was rebuilt in a ‘cat’ style. After a long trip around the UK in a campervan, they drove through France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Holland and Belgium before returning to England with a slightly modified van with a few bumps and bruises on the rear vision mirrors.

The highlights included a train trip in the Swiss mountains up to a station 11,400 feet on a mountain range including two stops inside the Eiger to view the drops from large windows cut out of the rock tunnel wall. A similar high was the London Eye, a large ferris wheel on the banks of the Thames opposite Big Ben, an experience Jennifer is still getting over. A week’s wind-down in Hong Kong sightseeing in high humidity and heat made the return to the cold temperatures of mid-winter here welcome.

Te Rūnanga o Hokonui Ngā mate It is with sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our Kapahaka Tutor Charles Akurangi last month. Charles was a valued and respected member of our team tutoring at six different schools within our community. Charles will be sadly missed by all.

Health Day – Wai Wai Clinic Our health days are attended by 30-35 kaumātua from within our community. Co-coordinator Vivien Abernethy has arranged for kaumātua attending to have a monthly check up by doctors or nurses on site. This continues to run smoothly and feedback from kaumātua about this service is positive. Kaumātua enjoy a range of different activities on health day with the favourite of the day being housie!

Celica Cruikshank, our tai chi tutor for health days, sadly passed away in August. Celica will be dearly missed by all kaumātua, her expertise and kind gentle nature will be hard to replace.

Martial arts Martial Arts are still going strong with steady numbers turning out each Monday night. Terry and Joe have noticed a marked improvement with some of the children’s behaviour over the time our club has been operating. We grade the children twice a year and this gives the children encouragement, self-confidence, discipline and respect for those around them.

Myrle Sayers a kaumātua who attended health days passed away last month. Myrle will be remember by all here at Hokonui rūnanga because she was a real character who enjoyed life and lived everyday to the max. Everybody here at Hokonui Rūnanga wish to extend their sympathy to all the families of the ones we have lost, they will be sadly missed by all.

General update Members here have been heavily involved with preparing for the Rugby World Cup. With meetings, travel and so on, one really needs more hours in the day to achieve the necessary obligations in representing our rūnanga and our iwi.

The Hokonui Rūnanga supported the Gore Boxing Club with the hosting of its annual boxing event. Our trainee social worker Aaron Lay took part in the night. Aaron fought in the 50kg weight grade male bout, his opponent from Dunedin Aaron Kent put up a good fight, but eventually Aaron Lay took the fight after it was called off in round three. Way to go Aaron!

Rewi, Taare and Josie were recently in Queenstown to participate in the welcoming ceremony for the Irish and Georgian rugby teams, this really showcased that we can deliver on these important occasions whaikōrero, waiata and so on, coupled with the superb settings here within our wāhi.

Community event

Our young people with their wero, haka pōwhiri and karanga, words cannot express their magnificent performances for these two important events. Showing the rest of Aotearoa why we of the deep south are tops in what we do.

Te Rūnanga o Waihōpai Kia ora koutou te whānau, whānui o Ngāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha me Rapuwai ngā mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa.

and other things. It was really appreciated. A big ‘thank you’ to all who came to see her, and thank you Rebecca. Te Rōpū Taiao had a hui at the marae and had a big turnout of city and regional council members. We hosted the farewell for Brian Rousseau, plus other hui and of course our regular kapahaka going strong.

Ngā mate o te rangatira. Charlie Akuranga, takoto, takoto, takoto mai rā. Charlie was part of our 55 plus kapahaka group. He was there from the start and even when he was sick he still came to practise, even though his voice had gone. Charlie also taught in the rural schools around Murihiku and was loved by all the kids, teachers and families. He was always at Murihiku Marae and was a great and tireless worker with all our team on the marae. He will be sadly missed by all. Haere atu rā e te rangitira, haere, haere, haere.

A young lady arrived at our marae and said, I wouldn’t mind having a young kapahaka group no oldies. I thought who is this brash young lady from the shaky isle? Kylie Jane Phillips is her name and boy she has got a group of young mums and their kids doing waiata every Tuesday night. Aroha mai Kylie, well-done, go hard girl we will sit back and watch with a smile. Should I mention the Rugby World Cup - oh well Scotland arriving, a bit of a pōwhiri at the airport, then a pōwhiri at Bluff Marae, two for the one team? Bluff will do themselves proud, go! Go Bluff, the mana of your name and its people will be on display for all to see – awesome.

Well whānau it seems to be all go here in NZ. Are we still in mourning about the All Blacks losing two games in a row? Well, watch this space! On a brighter note we here at Murihiku Marae and Waihōpai Rūnaka have been slowly moving along with the general hui and also going out to other places to awhi, all good. Some of the things that have been happening on the marae are; new nurses and nannies, the Māori warden’s had their AGM, and the project team came to talk about how the wardens throughout NZ are going and where we are heading. We also had our friend Rebecca from the Inland Revenue Department to help the whānau with tax

We also had a blessing downtown later that night from Don street to Esk street, awesome display – will tell you more next time. And of course some of us are away to Queenstown to welcome Ireland and Georgia, should be a buzz.

Now let me say this to all you delegates did your rūnanga not want a Hui-ā-Tau this year? Well all I am hearing down here is grumble about it. What’s wrong with everybody? It’s the one time we get together as whānau and enjoy each other’s company on a very happy occasion, but hang on we will give everyone an iPad, thanks for that you lot in the ivory tower. Our people look forward to the Hui-ā-Tau, some might not be here next year so you deprive them of the one enjoyment that they look forward to, start to think about your people rather than yourselves, might be good for you. On a lighter note, you all have fun at your Rugby World Cup games if you go but most importantly look after one another. A love a day keeps the tempus away. Yours truly, Squirrel on the Hill Waihöpai

We were delighted to host a group from the Kahurangi Dance company at the Puketeraki Marae recently. They performed for the East Otago small schools cluster, including Flag Swamp, Waitati, Warrington and Karitāne Schools. The performance was energetic, educational and very funny. Sizemore Rodden-Thompson Whānau Hui Calling descendants of James and Sarah Sizemore (née Rodden-Thompson) and the whānau of Morere and John Rodden-Thompson. The descendants of the above tīpuna who originated from Hawkesbury and Brinns Point (Otago) intend to hold a whānau hui at Puketeraki Marae, Apes Rd, Puketeraki from 5 – 8 April (Easter Weekend). The purpose of the hui is to bring us together and share our whakapapa with each other. Among other activities and visits to sites of significance, there will be a meeting of owners involved in the Māori freehold land blocks known as Subdivisions 42, 62 and 65 of section 42 Block III, Waikouaiti District (known as Brinns Point) on Friday 6 April. The purpose of this meeting is to appoint new trustees and update the trust order to a standard Te Waipounamu Ahu Whenua Trust order.

Congratulations to… Jack Langsbury Kirkwood who has just come back from Auckland where he played alongside some very good football players (including an Under 17 All White), in an Under 17 Māori Football NZ invitational team against a visiting team of Fijian players from Canada. The Canadian tour, dubbed “The Friendship Tour - New Horizons, New Friends”, consisted of two matches in the Pacific and two matches in New Zealand and culminated in a match against Jack’s team, Kahukura U17 for a trophy donated by All White Leo Bertos. Kahukura U17 beat the Canadians 2 – 1 and Jack scored the first goal. We are very proud of him!

E te hākoro Haere whatukarokaro rā Ki te ara whānui I a Hinetitama I a Tahukumea I a Tahuwhakairo Rere tonu atu koe i a mātou E te manu o Moki, te rau toroa o Te Ati Awa

Congratulations to Mary Laurenson (née Dawson) a Royal Albatross Centre tour guide whose whānau originally lived at Taiaroa Head (Pukekura) who has been named Dunedin host personality of the year. ‘I started at the centre as a cleaner, doing the toilets and things, but I was so passionate that they made me a tour guide,’ Mary says. Mrs Laurenson (60) was nominated for the award because of her energy and enthusiasm with both visitors and colleagues at the centre, on Otago Peninsula.

Aianei nā he moe whakakekeu mō tōu whānau I a koe e hoki ana ki Parakiwitini, Ki te kakeraki e takaru ana kei te moana e It is with great sadness we farewell Te Iwi Taiaroa who passed away in August aged 72-years-old. Te Iwi is the son of Wiwi Taiaroa and Raukawa Ellison and was raised at the Ōtākou kaik with his brothers and sisters Rei, Matenga, Hori (deceased), Robyn and Hawea (deceased) and their many cousins. Like many of his relations Te Iwi worked for Ōtākou fisheries, fishing the grounds between Otago and Fiordland, and eventually travelling to Australia where he lived for many years.

“My mother (Sarah Ruhia Te Tapu), who died 32 years ago, would be stoked with this.” Her great-great-grandfather was Korako Karetai, and her great-grandmother, grandmother and mother were all born at Taiaroa Head. Mrs Laurenson was born in Christchurch and moved to Ōtākou 11 years ago. She started working at the albatross colony four years ago. “It is my home. To be able to stand there and be connected with that land ... it’s like a dream. It’s such a privilege to work at the albatross centre,” she said. “To see those birds flying is majestic. People come from all over the world to see the albatrosses. I want to be there until I retire at 65.” Source: Otago Daily Times

In recent times he returned to the kaik and suddenly passed away just a few metres from the tide that had been a part of his life since the day he was born.

He Waka Kōtuia The Kings Boys and Queens Girls High Schools kapahaka group (including Taikawa Tamati-Elliffe, Ranui Ellison and Tia Taiaroa) has had a high profile lately performing at venues around Dunedin, including at the opening of the new Dunedin Stadium and welcoming both the Argentinian and the English rugby teams to Dunedin.

Te Iwi has four children: Keri, Tane, Luke and Kate. Haere rā e Pōua.

He Waka Kōtuia has been performing as a group since 2007, tutored by Paulette Tamati-Elliffe, Komene Cassidy, Angela Kiore and Marcia Cassidy. This year they were placed second at the regional kapahaka competition, which of course means they qualify to compete at the Nationals in Whangarei, next June. Karawhiua, rakatahi mā - mā te whakaharatau e tika ai!

Update from subsidiary company of Ōtākou Rūnanga – A3kaitiaki What we’ve been up to these last few months • Completed three successful tikaka programmes – (read more further on) • Expansion planning with Te Puni Kōkiri – the need in the community means we need to capacity build. With the approval of our investment company we are working through this exciting phase • Early years hub opening with the Methodist Mission • Another Kaupapa Māori Story Book.

for a day. It was great to see the whānau becoming more and more relaxed!

The tikaka programme is the jewel in our crown. It continues to grow with the knowledge of our facilitators who now are a team of six – Paul Karaitiana, Hine Forsyth, Anne Robertson, Moana Wesley, Roera Komene (lead facilitator) and Mike Mikaere.

Quote of the day from Pōua Paul Karaitiana – “It feels like a whole new knee!!” We are, all looking forward to their next visit already!

The programme is designed specifically for male offenders and is run both in the Otago Corrections Facility and noho marae at Ōtākou for non-custodial offenders serving a community based sentence. We bring in speakers who deliver their own kōrero such as Marcia Cassidy (brain development) and Wendi Raumati (raranga) – both of whom leave a lasting impression on the men. In May we were privileged to host two district court judges who have taken a great interest in the impact of the programme on the men and who support interventions just like ours prior to sentencing to imprisonment.

MacAndrew Bay Playcentre visit MacAndrew Bay Playcentre was just one of many visits we’ve had from local tamariki lately. [image: MacAndrew Bay playcentre whānau enjoy the view.]

Te Muaupoko noho marae As we know, Te Muaupoko is the old name for Otago Peninsula. But it is also the name for a kaupapa Kāi Tahu programme that runs across all three of our local peninsula schools – Portobello, Broad Bay and MacAndrew Bay. A highlight of the programme is that every year about 75 of our local tamariki come and stay at Ōtākou for some on-marae learning and to practice for Polyfest, the annual Dunedin School’s Pacific Festival. The highlight of every noho is putting the hāngī down early in the morning... and of course bringing it up at lunchtime!!

MacAndrew Bay playcentre whānau enjoy the view. Snow in Hamilton.. The big snow made an impression on Georgia Karetai who sent this poem: The Day the Snow Came Alive My hands freezing while I make her body Starting to disperse. Finally she’s finished-icy though! She’s about to disappear We are trying to make her perfect and last a long time Afraid she will thaw in the hot sun.

Many thanks to Katrina Bryant for bringing a group of post-graduate physiotherapy students down to Ōtākou

Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka Kia ora whānau Spring is here, and we can have all four seasons in one day. Spring is defined as rebirth, renewal and regrowth.

He has coached for the past seven years and is passing on the knowledge he has gained from those who coached him. One of his coaches was his father Henry Cleaver who is now a life member of the Riverton Rugby club after many years of being a player, coach and committee member. David has coached the Central Western under 65kg team for the past two years and managed the Southland Barbarians U13 team this year, which his oldest son Nicholas was selected as a player in. They won the Challenge Cup by beating Otago Metro and Otago Country.

Isn’t it great to see calves, foals and lambs running around the paddocks in the sunshine, kicking up their heels among the daffodils and long lush grass; a sense of freedom, strength and energy. Daylight saving has started and with it comes barbeques, leisurely walks at night, the enjoyment of being outside enjoying the weather, the smell of freshly cut grass, and the feeling of not having to rush. The kids have more energy and are able to burn it off after dinner at night. Take time whānau to enjoy these days and the people close to you.

David is very passionate about the club and enjoys helping young kids enjoy the game as much as he does. Waka ama and Aparima College

Rā whānau Happy birthday to everyone who has celebrated a birthday this month. We hope you had a wonderful day and celebrated the occasion in style. Annual general meeting Our annual general meeting has been set for Sunday 13 November at 10am. Please come along, as this is our triennial election.

[Insert picture: Waka – Aparima College]

Rugby is in the blood of many Cleavers

Excitement was pumping through the veins as soon as the boys were in the waka. In one word it was peaking. We couldn’t get enough of it. We were ready to roll. First in were Max Winders, Jade Whatuira, the instructors and myself. A quick lesson and we were away, streaming down the river with ease. What a thrill. Never have I experienced something quite so powerful or inspiring, but let me tell you - it’s no walk in the park as with muscles aching and sweat pouring off our heads we motored on. There was no room for weakness in the waka. After the first round the other boys got subbed in and out. The current was quite strong so we needed muscles to keep us on track. Good thing Max and I were already in the waka. I would definitely recommend this to other people - its fun, fast paced and doesn’t stop being exciting. Nā Tecwyn King. Department of Conservation (DOC) volunteer project on Rarotoka Each June Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka hosts a DOC volunteer project on Rarotoka. Volunteers come from all over New Zealand for this wonderful experience and this year there were 16 participants including rūnaka members and DOC staff.

David has son Nicholas (10) who is also a keen player. David Cleaver has been actively involved in Rugby with the Riverton Rugby Club since 1969, when he first played as a small boy. He was a player for 30 years, and has also managed a team (the year there was no senior team to play in), been on the committee for 22-years and is today, still involved by coaching school boy teams.

The first day was spent at Takutai o te Tītī Marae where teams worked cutting and clearing harakeke, preparing plants for transport to Rarotoka and weeding around

last years plantings. It was a great day with so much accomplished.

A small rimu that had been grown from seed from whenua hou had been gifted to the rūnaka and we were eager to plant it on the motu. But first, we had great fun hacking into some gorse bushes that had been encroaching on native plantings. We cut them back with pruning saws by at least one to two metres to give more light and space to our harakeke, kōhūhū and other species. Gorse is funny - the more you cut, the more you want to cut. And that’s a good thing because gorse control is an important part of revegetating the island. While gorse is useful as a nursery to protect slow-growing natives, we need to make sure it doesn’t outgrow and smother the plants.

On Rarotoka approximately 1500 plants were planted on the beach, in clearings and around the edge of sprayed gorse. Weeding of marram grass was also carried out. The ‘gorse brothers’ took clearing gorse to new heights, not only cutting the gorse by handsaw but also cutting it into lengths and stacking it ready for burning as firewood.

One volunteer had last been on the island as the assistant lighthouse keeper in 1975/76. He came along and brought his adult daughter and shared stories and old photos of life on the island. As luck would have it we had a visit from a maintenance engineer who arrived to do repairs on the lighthouse following a lightning strike, which meant he had the opportunity of once again going inside the lighthouse.

Other jobs we managed to do were putting finishing touches on the new roof and mowing the walking tracks around the houses. Among the wildlife we saw or heard were hoiho, little blue penguins, pīwakawaka, banded dotterels, oystercatchers, spotted shags, skinks and kererū. It’s a magical place to be and a privilege to help return it to its original condition.

Overall everyone had a very rewarding stay on the island. As always Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka are grateful to DOC and the volunteers for all the mahi that was completed. Rarotoka trip August On the weekend of 26 – 28 August, a group of five went on the monthly work trip to Rarotoka. We started with a gentle walk around the most recent plantings, and they all looked good. The ti kouka grove at the base of the hill

From the Kaiwhakahaere and Chief Executive Officer The year in review will be long remembered for the series of seismic events that struck the Waitaha region. Cumulatively these earthquakes caused such utter devastation that they changed forever the landscape, the city and the lives of all those who call Ötautahi home. After each event, as an organisation Te Rünanga responded promptly to the needs identified. While the priority was to look after our own, the decision was made early on that we would reach out to all those needing help in our community. Little did we know at the time that September 4 was really just a practice run for the events to come! After February 22 out of necessity, our daily business was slowed as staff worked to shovel silt, answer helpline calls, worked with the response teams at Rëhua and Ngä Hau E Whä Marae and helped out anywhere they could. The response from local Papatipu Rünanga, other iwi, Mäori providers and communities throughout Aotearoa was awesome. Our deep thanks to everyone and particularly our staff and our businesses, who worked together to help the people and to provide a base at Wigram enabling us to support the response and recovery effort. We were very fortunate in being able to recover most of the valuable taonga housed in Te Waipounamu House thanks to the efforts of staff and emergency teams. These events have highlighted the need for us to look at safe, multiple off-site storage options for housing our taonga in the future. While the earthquakes have bought destruction and change they have also provided opportunities. Ngäi Tahu is one of the statutory partners committed to developing the recovery strategy. From day one we have been working closely with the government and other key

When we consider the volatility of the global marketplace, and the impact of the earthquakes, we can all be very proud of the strong financial performance across the group and wish to congratulate the board, management and staff of Ngäi Tahu Holdings Corporation (NTHC) and its respective subsidiaries on their solid performance. The NTHC net operating surplus of $37.28m was up $1.77m (5%) on the previous year. NTHC shareholder equity increased by $23.36m to $519.06m.

agencies in every step of the recovery process from dealing with the immediate crisis to planning the city’s rebuild. The need for skills in the construction industry as a result of the earthquakes has led to a partnership with the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT), Te Tapuae o Rëhua and the Built Environment Training Alliance (BETA) in establishing a Mäori Trade Training Scheme, He Toki ki te Rika. Whänau Ora is also poised to come into its own as the future unfolds.

It is timely to reflect that since Settlement, Te Rünanga has been responsible for allocating over $227m to iwi activities. In the past financial year the total funding for all of our mahi, including the capital distribution to rünanga was $27.1m.

Te Rünanga has set aside a fund of $1.1m to add to the over $500k which we received in donations. Te Awheawhe Rü Whenua, our Earthquake Recovery Working Group, chaired by Wally Stone, has been set up to assist with our immediate and long-term response to the earthquakes and Canterbury’s recovery and to administer these funds.

Despite earthquakes the Office has remained focused on developing initiatives and delivering tribal programmes that will help us in achieving the outcomes for Ngäi Tahu Whänui as set out in our tribal vision Ngäi Tahu 2025. We also continue to focus on reducing costs and increasing support and direct distributions to Papatipu Rünanga and iwi members.

Amid the flurry of earthquake activity we reluctantly farewelled our CEO Anake Goodall. On behalf of Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu, staff, and Ngäi Tahu whänau, we would like to acknowledge Anake for his commitment to the iwi and wish him all the best for his future career. Mike Sang has been appointed as CEO on an extended contract to avoid any further disruption to our operation through these difficult times. Te Rünanga itself has been refining its governance arrangements and earlier in the year reached a consensus on a new committee structure to provide strategic oversight in some of the core business areas: the core committees are Te Apärangi (external issues), Te Here (internal matters), Contracts Review Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee. These arrangements are working well and will enable Te Rünanga to focus on more strategic matters in the future.

The next 12 months will see some major decisions made regarding the rebuild of Ötautahi. Our partnerships with the Crown, and the newly formed Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) among others, will be instrumental as we move forward to the next phase. These are exciting times in which we are united by our whakapapa, our passion, and the will to learn and grow. Never has the whakataukï ‘He aha te mea o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!’ seemed to be more apt.

A yEAR IN REVIEw

The 2010-2011 financial year was one of very solid results for Ngäi Tahu Holdings Corporation (NTHC). This was pleasing, particularly given the continuing challenges presented in the wake of the global recession and the devastation of the Canterbury earthquakes.

results. NTS has delivered an outstanding result with an operating EBIT of $16.73m, up $3.37m on last year. This positive result was largely due to the ongoing strength of the köura market, in particular China, and enhanced by an overall stronger performance of all species.

We arrived at a good year-end result with a record net operating surplus of $37.28m, an increase of $1.77m (5%) on the previous year. Across the board we have made progress in focusing on our strengths and moving away from assets not returning best results.

NTP also enjoyed a successful 12 months ending the year with an operating EBIT of $24.44m (FY10 $20.35m). The diversity of the NTP portfolio continues to be its greatest asset in protecting against the highs and lows of the industry. The NTP investment portfolio has once again performed exceptionally well with almost 100% occupancy and increased rental returns in spite of the macro-economic challenges. The strength of the investment portfolio compensated for a tougher year in the property development sector.

As expected, the year-end valuations of our Christchurch investment properties affected by the earthquakes saw a fall in value of $17.86m. In addition we incurred damage to the properties which will total $9.32m and these costs have been taken into account this year. Repairs to the buildings are underway, and the buildings are fully insured however, we will not receive the full amount of these insurance proceeds until the next financial year. Shareholders equity has increased by $23.36m to $519.06m breaking through the $500m level for the first time. This has mainly been driven by an increase in the value of our shareholding in Ryman Healthcare which increased by $31.20m. Operating cashflows of $36.25m (FY10 $37.89m) have funded a Ngäi Tahu Charitable Trust distribution of $22.60m. Surplus funds have been applied to the commencement of the Rainbow Springs redevelopment project, completion of the Christchurch Civic Building and the reduction of term debt. Term debt currently sits at $106.0m The performance of both Ngäi Tahu Property (NTP) and Ngäi Tahu Seafood (NTS) once again exceeded budget and improved on last year’s

It was a difficult year for Ngäi Tahu Tourism (NTT) as they battled declining visitor numbers only to be further impacted upon by the earthquake. NTT saw its profit fall against the previous year to $4.12m (FY10 $5.94m). However, we are pleased to report that the medium-term forecast for tourism is much improved and with review and rationalisation of assets NTT is in a healthy position to take advantage of the upturn when it comes. Over the past year we have stayed focused on exploring new opportunities to expand our investment portfolio and further diversify our capital base; thus guaranteeing our strength as an inter-generational investor. A success in this regard has been the recent investment in the Asian joint venture Agria, the controlling shareholder in PGGW. This investment fits well with Ngäi Tahu interests in the rural sector and 28global relationships. serves to strengthen our

The development and implementation of NTP’s rural strategy, ratified by NTHC and Te Rünanga, has committed us to the sale of forestry assets and diversification into a pilot sustainable-dairying project. This has been another significant step forward on the journey to re-shaping the NTHC portfolio. Our success goes beyond the numbers and as always we are privileged to have such a loyal, dedicated and high-performing team. THE FUTURE

The next financial year is shaping up to be another good one. With the growth in the Asian economy, Ngäi Tahu Holdings Group is well positioned through its Agria shareholding to maximise potential opportunities in the global market. A short term aim will be to assess our obligations and our opportunities in regard to the re-build of Christchurch. As the investment arm of Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu, it is imperative we take a lead role in shaping the future of the city. With a solid capital base, strong local and global relationships, our people and an optimistic attitude towards the future, we have an excellent platform to support our plans for controlled and deliberate growth.

We celebrated Sue Nicolls 60th birthday with friends and whānau at a local restaurant on 7 August. A great night was had by all with lots of stories and photos. Weaving workshop We held a weaving workshop on 13 August. Although small in numbers everyone enjoyed the day, learning new skills. We will be having another two workshops to lift our level of wānanga. Those who attended have been asked to make a sample of what they learnt for the next workshop. Thank you to Linda and her willing helpers for feeding us. Thanks also to Kāi Tahu ki Te Waipounamu for funding the day.

will be sent out via the mailing list. Our Taurahere rōpū is keen to grow our ability to support Ngāi Tahu ope when they travel up to the Waikato. We are in the process of establishing regular waiata sessions that will be open to all whānau. We will keep in touch with progress on this.

Kāi Tahu ki Waikato Ngā kawe mate o te motu Kawe mate o te motu was a moving occasion for all of us. It was a privilege to be present as our rangatira Dame Whetu Tirikatene’s mate was taken on to the marae. It was a doubly sad occasion as the Ngāi Tahu ope that traveled up for Koroneihana from Ōtautahi had come via paying their respects to Sir Paul Reeves at his tangihana in Auckland. Whakapapa and waiata wānaka We have booked 12 November for a whakapapa and waiata wānaka in Hamilton for those whānau living in the Waikato Tainui rohe. We will have Uncle Terry Ryan from the whakapapa unit available to assist whānau with their inquiries and Puamiria Goodall will support us in learning some of our Kāi Tahu waiata.

We’re also wanting to update our database so if you are in the Waikato region, (or know someone who is), please email, txt, phone or Facebook your contact details to Moana Lousi who will update them for you: Moana Lousi Ph: 021 1102 163 email: moanaandpuli@hotmail.com or via Facebook: Ngāi Tahu (Kāi Tahu) Ki Waikato. Contributions to Te Pānui Rūnaka We are keen to share the stories of our whānau living in Waikato Tainui in Te Pānui Rūnaka so we would love to hear about achievements, bereavements and celebrations that acknowledge and honour our whānau. Just so you get to know our smiling faces, here is a photo of some of our intrepid taurahere kōmiti.

Kāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana Ngāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana Hui, 14 August at Tauranga Boys College wharenui. In the face of the polar outbreak, a small gathering of whānau whānui took shelter in Aronui, the Tauranga Boys College wharenui, to listen to the importance of understanding the legacy that’s been left to us as Ngāi Tahu. The main speaker, Cheri Semeri, illustrated what that meant for her in developing her boutique coffee business. Having the Tirikatene-Sullivan whānau as part of her legacy, nonetheless her attitude is ask not what your Ngāi Tahu legacy can do for you, but what can you do to grow that legacy. For her, personally, that translates into grounding yourself in the various mātauranga, upping the effort to take part, and not expecting to have things handed to you on a plate. In a work-life balance sense, it means looking after health and wellbeing, and running a half marathon at Rotorua is on her fitness schedule. Rounding out her kaupapa are self-belief aided by belief in a higher being or value system. Her bubbly address was as much appreciated, as the steaming coffee she treated us to afterwards. Providing both tautoko and kīnaki for Cherie were three newcomers: Rob Reweti, Birney AhomiroRobinson and her täne William Robinson. Rob spoke of the need to have a support base of other Ngāi Tahu small business operators, both for social and business

Cherie and Pierre (her son) Semeri at the August Hui.

In recounting some of his life history, through the various roles he and his wife, have so far held, the values of contributing and building up the Ngāi Tahu legacy, shine through. As more and more talent comes out from under the local mat, with the wealth of Ngāi Tahu expertise and experience potentially on tap, surely it’s both timely and fitting for some of the sweetness of those particular kūmara to be spoken about and a means found to make collective use of them.

Whānui mark this on your calendar! Mark 9 October on your calendar. Pre Notice: Our October hui will be starting earlier (10.00am – Tawanga Boys College, wharenui). We will be having visitors from South: A representative from the Whai Rawa team as well as Dr Terry Ryan and Arapata Reuben from the Whakapapa Unit.

We had an educational and interesting noho marae at Apumoana on the weekend of 26 – 28 August. It was fabulous to have Terry, Whetu, Arapata and Hana with us for the weekend. We appreciated them giving up their time to support our whānau. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.

We are looking forward to Te Ara Mahi, the tourism career information days at Rainbow Springs here in Rotorua. It has been great talking with Ngāi Tahu Tourism about their ambitions and a great opportunity for Ngāi Tahu here and further afield to consider what a career in tourism might mean. We hope to develop these relationships further.

Thanks to everyone who made it happen and for the feedback on how future hui could look. As always, there was great interest in whakapapa and the stories of our tūpuna and seeing where the connections are. We had some fast and furious waiata instruction, which we have undertaken to develop further

In the meantime we wish our rakatahi well as they start studying for their tertiary and high school exams, while a big event whirls around us all.

Help for Kaiapoi whānau For Ngāi Tahu families, in particular those living in the recently red zoned Kaiapoi region, support is available through the 0800 KAI TAHU number. Te Puawaitanga ki Ōtautahi Trust is positioned to receive earthquake related referrals and will help whānau work through challenges and connect people with the appropriate support services and agencies. Rū Whenua Kaitoko Whänau is a He Oranga Pounamu initiative sponsored by Te Puni Kōkiri and supported by Te Awheawhe Rū Whenua.

Ki a tātou katoa o Waitaha, nei anō ngā mihi. The anniversary of the 4 September earthquake was a day of reflection for many. Out of the heartbreak, frustration, mourning and fear has emerged new found strength, resilience, patience and a better understanding of each other. Kia kaha.

Marae generator project underway As a result of the earthquakes, Te Rūnanga has a project underway offering Waitaha marae subsidised power generators should they need back-up power for future events.

There are still whānau still living in badly affected earthquake zones. For some it is still a very stressful time, both for those considering a new future in a new community and for those remaining in damaged but repairable homes. Let’s continue to watch over our most vulnerable – our tamariki and kaumātua and please, ask for help if you need it.

Iwi communications advisor Whetu Moataane is helping to coordinate the project, which involves assessing the power requirements of eight marae and the costs of installing the generators. “Then we’ll be looking to subsidise these costs and provide rūnanga the option to purchase the generators as a backup if they lose power.”

Kaitoko worker update Recruitment of 15 kaitoko is underway. The majority of Māori providers who will host the kaitoko whānau across Ōtautahi, Kaiapoi and Lyttelton are on board with the initiative, which is expected to be fully operational by late

Builder Graham Nutira (Taumutu) from NRG Homes is also assisting in the project.

Still time to have your say Many whānau have taken the time to have a say on the draft Central City Earthquake Recovery Plan put together by the Christchurch City Council. Good on you if you did, awesome! Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu also provided a comprehensive tribal submission representing Ngāi Tahu vision and values. Now we all have an opportunity to feedback on the CERA (Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority) Draft Recovery Strategy.

Ngāi Tahu is also a statutory partner with CERA and is actively taking a partnership approach. Work with CERA is happening across the Te Rūnanga Group, for example the Ngāi Tahu Property team has expressed its capability and willingness to assist CERA with their analysis of the property market and other matters. Visit www.cera.govt.nz and go to the recovery strategy section to download the Draft Recovery Strategy, a summary document and comment form, view the meeting and information session schedule. Or phone 0800 RING CERA (0800 7464 2372). Remember whānau, we only have until the 30 October deadline. Steve Hira – The Aranui Food Distribution Centre What began with a phone call and the offer of 192 boxes of food to distribute to those in need became a supermarket volume community food bank within days of the 22 February earthquake. For the three weeks following the quake, thanks to the generous donations from a variety of suppliers, Steve Hira and his team of 100 volunteers provided food for up to 3000 people a day. Steve says that at one point he was getting texts every five minutes asking where food could be dropped off. It got to the point where he had to purchase two shipping containers for storage to cope with the volume. In total they have received and distributed food donations in the vicinity of $1m.

“What struck me in the days after the earthquake was the desperation, I have never seen anything like it before, crowds standing in line waiting for food,” says Steve. However despite the desperation, Steve believes that there have been enormous positives in terms of bringing the community together and making it stronger. “It has been an amazing journey but if it hadn’t been for the generosity of the food suppliers and organisations like Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, we would never have been able to do it,” says Steve. The food bank is still open two days a week for a couple of hours at a time however, the needs have now changed and Whakaoranga Trust has shifted their focus to assisting with finding employment, helping with CVs and developing training and business opportunities for all those in the community who lost their jobs as a result of the earthquakes.

In those early days the Trust accessed supplies from wherever they could. Community Health support worker, Pani Ruwhiu (Ngāi Tūāhuriri) says they got a lot of supplies from the Ngāi Tahu base out at Wigram, among them boxes and boxes of ‘Dad’s’ pies that had been sent down from the North Island and these were a real favourite. She was also getting food parcels from Tuahiwi Marae. “Everyone was just really helpful”, says Pani. The Trust received funds from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and other iwi and this money was used to purchase blankets, thermals and other essential items to keep whānau warm and comfortable. Suzi says, after the initial crisis response was over, the next stage for the Trust was to work with whānau to develop emergency plans for the future.

Te Puawaitanga ki Ōtautahi recognised for earthquake efforts Offering support to whānau in need comes naturally to the team at Te Puawaitanga ki Ōtautahi Trust so when the earthquakes struck, they were well equipped to get stuck in to assist those most in need.

And six months on, they are now focused on supporting whānau with finding ways to rebuild their future and encouraging them to have a positive outlook to help them move on. Ngāi Tahu Property prepares for demand Ngāi Tahu Property has fast tracked more than $300 million in property development to help accommodate families who have lost their homes to quake damage. Wigram Skies, Lincoln and Prestons subdivisions are three of Canterbury’s largest master-planned communities which will provide more than 5,000 new sections for Christchurch families.

Te Puawaitanga’s tireless efforts over, the ensuing weeks post-quake were recently acknowledged when they received the Public Health Associations Tū Rangatira Mō Te Ora Award. The award was in recognition of their leadership and extraordinary effort in supporting the hauora of the people of Canterbury following the 20102011 earthquakes.

Wigram Skies is where Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu offices have relocated to from the CBD red zone. It is a new community being developed on the site of the former Wigram Aerodrome.

The Trust have been hard at it since September 2010, putting together survival kits and delivering them to those in the community in greatest need. Much of the content for the kits was generously provided by the Māori Women’s Welfare League and their networks.

When complete, Wigram Skies’ Canterbury will be home to around 4,000 people and will provide leisure and recreational facilities to everyone in Christchurch’s South West.

Kaiwhakahaere Suzi Clarke says that after 22 February there was a desperate need for basic necessities, things like nappies, safe water and blankets. For the first two weeks, the team spent hours on the phone locating their clients and ascertaining their immediate needs. They then sent out teams to deliver food, water and other necessities and worked with whānau to link them into the services they needed.

Following the earthquake in Canterbury on Monday 13 June, investigations of the site have been undertaken by environmental and engineering consultants Tonkin & Taylor.

You can also download a copy of the Christchurch Liquefaction map from Aurecon New Zealand showing the local area around Prestons from the website below.

Their inspection of the land found no surface expression of liquefaction, no sign of land damage, no observed sand boils and no evidence of settlement or rotation of the structures currently on site. There was also no land damage found associated with lateral spreading.

At Lincoln, Ngāi Tahu Property has a six-stage development featuring a 118 hectare planned community providing 900 dwellings in a range of housing types, for around 2,700 people. Lincoln Land Development is a joint venture between Lincoln University and Ngāi Tahu Property. They have consulted closely with Lincoln Envirotown Trust to help promote the long term environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability of Lincoln.

Prestons is a new dynamic suburban centre only 5.5 km from the Christchurch CBD. Approximately 200 hectares will be created into a great place to live for more than 6,000 residents. Nestled beside Burwood, and Waitikiri and Windsor Golf Courses, Prestons is ideally located to connect to public transport, being so close to the CDB, yet is also adjacent to the recreational area of Bottle Lake Forest.

Extensive consultation has taken place to ensure design principles complement Lincoln’s existing community and enhances the local landscape with environmentally sustainable water treatment features.

Following the 22 February earthquake in Canterbury, investigations at Prestons have proved positive with no signs of liquefaction being reported.

te reo based wānaka and events or KMK te reo based wānaka and events within the Ngāi Tahu takiwā. One of the events we supported was the annual Kāi Tahu Kura Reo, held in Arowhenua at the end of January. This one week immersion wānaka focused on Kāi Tahu reo and tikaka. The target audience for this wānaka are whānau at intermediate to advanced stages of te reo who are raising their tamariki with te reo as the language of the home.

What is whānau reo fund? Whānau reo is a fund established by Kotahi Mano Kāika (KMK) to provide financial assistance for Kāi Tahu families to attend: • Kāi Tahu papatipu rūnaka te reo based wānanga and events • KMK te reo based wānaka and events within the Ngāi Tahu takiwā.

We had six families apply for partial funding support to attend this wānaka. The fund assisted them with financial support for the registration costs. As you could imagine attending a wānaka reo with your whānau is not only mentally challenging but also financially challenging as well. The whānau fund assists whānau to learn as a family and be able to connect with other likeminded te reo speaking families. These opportunities are very rare, to have caregivers who are able to speak Māori to your tamariki, while the parents partake in classes delivered by our very own talented Kāi Tahu teachers such as Hana, Tahu, Charisma and others.

All applicants need to complete a whānau te reo plan as per the application process, which demonstrates short and long-term commitment towards achieving whānau language goals. Who can apply? • Applicants must be registered with Ngāi Tahu • Priority will be given to those whānau who are committed to and practicing intergenerational language use within the home.

If this fund sounds like something that your whānau would be interested in applying for, download an application form at www.kmk.maori.nz and click on KMK funds. If you require further information contact Keela Atkinson either via email: keela.atkinson@ngaitahu.iwi. nz or phone: 021 987 486.

How much is available? Applicants can apply for up to $2k per whānau per year. Less may be awarded subject to the number of suitable applicants for each funding round.

Below are just a few things that whānau have said regarding the whānau reo fund; karawhiua whānau, me kōrero i te reo, i te ao i te pō mā te tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whāi, ka ora ai te reo, me he manawa tītī Kāi Tahu!

Funding rounds: There are quarterly funding rounds each year for all KMK funds. These dates will fall on the last Friday of each of the following months: October and January. The dates for the 2011/2012 financial year are as follows: • • •

28 October 2011 27 January 2012 27 April 2012.

Application forms must be received by, the KMK project coordinator by 5pm on each of these dates. Profile of whānau reo At the beginning of 2011, the whānau fund was established to provide Kāi Tahu families with financial assistance to either attend, Kāi Tahu papatipu rūnaka

Whakaora Te Waihora The restoration and rejuvenation of the mauri and ecosystem health of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere has been confirmed with the signing of Whakaora Te Waihora on 25 August. Whakaora Te Waihoa is a longterm relationship agreement and shared commitment between Environment Canterbury, Ngāi Tahu and Te Waihora Management Board. It’s going to be a long slow process and a huge job but kaumätua Aunty Ake (Maria Johnson) still feels positive about events.

From left to right: Ngāi Tahu kaumātua, Marget Johnson, Aunty Ake Johnson and Ranui Ngarimu.

“It was a very interesting day and marvellous to see so many important people and organisations. It shows for them all to be there at the marae – they must have a conscience.”

“The sea never used to bring such large amounts of debris, the big hunks of logs and trees. There was only sand and little bits of shingle and some stones. The creeks that ran into the lake were clean and you could see the stones on the bottom. As kids we used to take a picnic and play in the creek. We’d chase black flounder around and catch them. And we’d catch cockabullies’ and go whitebaiting.”

Aunty Ake says a year ago she would never have imagined attending such an event. “Ngāi Tahu has worked fast and there’s a lot of people who must’ve been working very hard to get where we are today. It’s going to take a few years still however, before the clogs of the wheel start moving and we will start to see change.”

Aunty Marg says it’s going to be a lot of work to get the lake back to how it was. “It’s a good win for us though.”

Aunty Ake’s husband worked on the railway so it was 50 years before she returned back home to live at Taumutu.

Te Waihora Management Board Chair Terrianna Smith says the relationship agreement signals a new way of doing things.

“It was the biggest shock of my life, returning back and seeing what had happened to the lake. I nearly feel over. I didn’t realise time had gone so fast.”

“It’s the start of a new approach to the management of natural resources in the region, one which acknowledges and brings together the tikanga responsibilities of Ngāi Tahu and the statutory responsibilities of Environment Canterbury.

Aunty Ake’s niece, Margaret Johnson (Aunty Marg) also remembers a time when Te Waihora was a clean, pristine environment.

“This relationship agreement is also a potential template for how Ngāi Tahu and other iwi can work with local and central government. We aren’t just doing this for Te Waihora, it’s for the tribe,” Terrianna says.

Environment Canterbury Chair of Commissioners Dame Margaret Bazley said the agreement with Ngāi Tahu marked an important milestone in the life of Environment Canterbury.

Environment Canterbury, Ngāi Tahu and Te Waihora Management Board have signed an interim cogovernance agreement that establishes an enduring cogovernance framework for the active management of Te Waihora and its catchment.

“It is also significant for the region of Canterbury, and indeed New Zealand. We are forging a way in which iwi and regional government can work together for common goals”. Dame Margaret said it was important everyone with an interest in the lake and catchment worked together. “This is the premise on which the Canterbury Water Management Strategy is based and it is only by bringing the whole community with us that this initiative will be successful.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Mark Solomon said the agreement goes beyond the Settlement. It continues the process of healing and enters a new age of collaboration.

“As well as being a nationally significant wetland, Te Waihora has outstanding significance for Ngāi Tahu, especially mahinga kai, the customary fishery and kaitiakitanga. These are values embedded in Ngāi Tahu culture. And so we must work closely with Te Rūnanga, central and local government, industry and the wider community.”

“Te Waihora was once a considerable tribal resource known as Te Kete Ika o Rākaihautū - The Fish Basket of Rākaihautū, which has declined. It is going to take considerable time, effort and resource to restore and rejuvenate the many values of Te Waihora. “We know that shared efforts exponentially multiply impact. We are forging a courageous and innovative partnership that will ensure Te Waihora is fundamental to the shared future of all our mokopuna”.

Joseph Hullen has just completed a 21 day Masters Course with Outward Bound. While he was away, we were fortunate to have Kirsty Ameriks, with us. Kirsty previously worked with us as an administrator.

Arapata and Terry attended the whakawhānaungatanga Noho Marae for Ngāi Tahu at the Apumoana Marae, Rotorua 26 – 28 August. It was a great hui with about fifty people attending over the three days. The input of Hana O’Regan and Whetu Moataane was greatly appreciated by all.

She has been of great value and has been able to process the many registration applications received in Joseph;s absence. Earthquakes and then snow hindered every ones access to work for a week in July.

A big thanks to Rawiri Daniels, Anita Smith, Keri Jarden and all the committee for organising a very formative and productive hui. It was appreciated.

Replying to letters, e-mails and phone calls has certainly kept both Arapata and Terry busy. We do appreciate the assistance of the Wigram Airport Museum, however

We are looking forward to the advent of spring.

Joseph Hullen second in from the right. Zealand, here for the long term. This sort of sale is an ongoing strategic initiative of the tribe to rebalance its portfolio and to be able to participate in the rebuild of Canterbury and undertake investment in the agricultural sector.” Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Kaiwhakahaere Mark Solomon said this is the first in a number of major commercial actions to be taken under the new Te Rūnanga Group Investment Policy Framework. “Ngāi Tahu believes each decision on overseas investment in New Zealand should be looked at on a case by case basis. Overseas investors, particularly those who share our respect for the land and our environmental and cultural values are also likely to contribute in a wider sense to the New Zealand economy,” he said. Expanding and diversifying the current portfolio is a key priority of the tribe. Ngāi Tahu has a target of $1b worth of net assets by 2015.

Ngāi Tahu Property sells rural land Ngāi Tahu Property (NTP) has sold 18,250 hectares of rural North Canterbury land to a Swiss family. The land leased for forestry purposes at Ashley, Omihi, Hanmer, Okuku, Oxford and Mt Thomas. NTP, Ngāi Tahu Holdings Corporation (NTHC), and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu are satisfied due diligence was undertaken in assessing the integrity and character of the purchaser. This view was also held by the Overseas Investment Office. Ngāi Tahu Property Chief Executive Tony Sewell said Ngāi Tahu would continue to manage the properties on behalf of the family for the time being. “We are satisfied the family are valued investors in New

Hui-ā-Tau The next Hui-ā-Tau will be held in November 2012. Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu has decided there will be not be Hui-ā-Tau this year. The location of the 2012 Hui-ā-Tau is still to be confirmed. Te Rūnanga established a Hui-ā-Tau Review Committee to investigate the option of a regular tribal celebration with the specific purpose of building and

encouraging whakawhanaungatanga. The committee established a raft of high level outcomes it wants to achieve and has tasked the office communications and events team to develop a plan which will deliver on these outcomes. The review committee has been disbanded.

Tihema’s father Ken Brown was part of the original Maori Trades Training in Canterbury, and left his family in the North Island to train in Christchurch. He is proud that Tihema can be part of Mäori Trades Training. Tihema’s father and brothers are carpenters and he believes you only need so many of them in a family, so he hopes that by having another trade in the mix, it will help them all out in the future. “I would definitely tell any young guys or girls to join…. get yourself a trade and make a good living for yourself and your kids, just go and meet the people in Te Puna Wänaka, they’re good people, they’re just like me and you.

He Toki Ki Te Rika - Inspiring Māori Leadership in Trades is an Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics and Iwiled collaborative Māori Trade Training initiative to build Māori leadership within the building and infrastructure industries in Canterbury. Tihema is enrolled in the Certificate in Plasterboard, Fixing and Finishing at the CPIT Trades Innovation Institute, Sullivan Ave, and he’s loving it. Before this Tihema was unemployed, although he worked as a sheet metal worker for seven years, it was a job that didn’t offer him many opportunities. “I have a three year plan now and before this I never thought about the future”, Mäori Trades training is more than just trades training, and you will be mentored and supported through your training

Tihema hopes to get an apprenticeship after his training ends this December and eventually wants to work for himself. Enrolment for the next CPIT He Toki Courses are below: Trade

Pānui Scotland, the last team to arrive into the country, were also given a warm reception as they arrived to a mix of bagpipes and haka at the Invercargill airport, and were formally welcomed the following day at Te Rau Aroha Marae, with whānau being treated to the beautiful voices of the Scottish team as they sung a folk song Caledonia followed by their national anthem – Flower of Scotland.

Rugby World Cup 2011 Rugby World Cup Fever has begun. International teams arrived into our airports to rousing haka pöwhiri all week. Romania was the first and only team to be welcomed into Christchurch after earthquakes removed World Cup games from the city. Ngāi Tūāhuriri and tamariki from Tuahiwi and Linwood North primary schools welcomed the visitors with a rousing haka pöwhiri before they boarded their bus for Ashburton where they were welcomed by whānau from Arowhenua and Hakatere Marae the next day.

Ta Tipene, Ihaia Biddle and members of the Georgian team Nei rā te owha ki a koutou te whānau whānui o Ngāi Tahu, i tautoko mai, i manaakitia mai tā tātou manuhiri nö tāwahi, ka nui te mihi ki a koutou. Kaiwhakatangi pütätara Congratulations to Waiariki Parata-Taiapa, Corban Te Aika, James Tawa and Junior Tana who along with 50 others were selected to represent their iwi and participate in the RWC opening ceremony at Eden Park in Auckland. In the lead up to Saturday night’s opening, when the boys weren’t rehearsing they kept themselves busy and surprising the Auckland community with flash mob haka throughout the city, check them out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dc0Gf5Ql1U&featur e=related

Ko uhia mai Ko uhia mai – translates as ‘let it be known’ draws attention to how little is known about the success of New Zealand women’s rugby. The work, another fine example of the outstanding talent of Ngāi Tahu artist, Rachael Rakena, is a six minute video that is projected onto the side of a prominent building in central Invercargill. Opened by the Murihiku rūnanga and Mayor Shadbolt, at a dawn ceremony on Thursday 8 September.

Cheered on by several hundred spectators, Otago haka enthusiasts took to the stage to show the world their fierce haka ability. Opening with a stirring rendition of the haka Poutini, our Ngāi Tahu and Department of Conservation (DOC) team laid the challenge. For nearly an hour, the Octagon resounded with the rousing sounds of haka. Top prizes went to McAndrew Bay School, university student kapahaka and Manu Samoa. It was a great, well run event. A vote of thanks to Paulette, Komene and all who supported them to put this event on.

Haka peepshow This is a unique celebration of sex, haka and the Rugby World Cup by groundbreaking Ngāi Tahu artist Rachael Rakena. It celebrates the diversity of haka and challenges the viewer to take a fresh look at the haka and to consider it in the broader context of the sexualisation and commodification of Māori sportsmen and the representation of their masculinity and culture in the media. Provocative and cheeky, this public art installation certainly stops people in their tracks! The black pou in Dunedin’s Octagon has already started to cause a stir. Initial reactions have ranged from shy giggles and smirks through to looks of shock and surprise. Check out www.hakapeepshow.co.nz

Fiona Pardington, (second from the right) with Tahu Potiki, Elizabeth Caldwell and Megan Ellison. Fiona Pardington’s series of powerful large photographs depict life casts made by medical scientist and phrenologist Pierre-Marie Dumoutier. Under the mana of Ōtākou, supported by Kāti Huirapa ki Puketeraki, this spine chilling exhibition was opened in the Dunedin Public Art Gallery on Friday 9 September. It was a very moving ceremony and was followed by an opportunity to meet and congratulate our very own, extremely talented and internationally recognised artist, Fiona Pardington. The exhibition, made up of twenty one images, including images of Piuraki John Love Tikao and Takatahara, seeks to explore the meanings and stories of nineteen century life casts. The thought provoking exhibition leaves the viewer with an eerie feeling of wonder and really is a must see for everyone. The exhibition runs from Saturday 10 September until Sunday 22 January 2012.

Te Ao, Te Pō, Te Wero Te Ao /Te Ihi (The white image) pays homage to the Moko of Rūaumoko in it’s Purest form, the shudder and power of the underworld of Rarohenga to the World of Light.

Pouwhenua billboards in Hagley Park Leading Ngāi Tahu artists were invited to create billboard designs in response to the theme “Te Haka a Rūaumoko” – The Earthquake Dance.

Te Po / Te Wehi (the black image) shows the awe and formidable awakening of the unborn Rūaumoko as he redeems the mauri that depict the awakening of Hine Raumati and Hine Takurua (summer and winter seasons). Be on guard! Te Wero / To Te Wini, To Te Wana (the red image) “kua takoto te manuka” The epitome of the warrior has been challenged, for he is the kaitiaki of Papatuanuku (Guardian of Mother Earth).

Caine Tauwhare (Ngāti Wheke) with his art work. This billboard incorporates moko painted in Canterbury colours to express some of the emotions Cantabrians are feeling at the moment such as anger, fear, and resolve. On either side of the moko are korowai inspired panels symbolising protection and warmth. Spiral design elements represent enlightenment, a learning from the past for the future, with background cartography showing colour coded earthquake zones.

Rūaumoko Senior Ngāi Tahu weavers chose the weavers pattern niho taniwha (a creature of legend) for the inspiration of their vertical tukutuku panels. The crosshatching represents the teeth of the taniwha and a seismic graph is referenced in the shape of the panels. This taniwha is ripping up the land and from the fractures comes liquefication, the muddy grey silt that rose from below the ground, whirl pooling into a painted koru (spiral). Rūaumoko is the unpredictable taniwha with an oval football like head. Look closely to see him within the piupiu (shirts), the swinging of these puipui captures the continual movement of men jumping, on the move to get away. Rapanui (Shag Rock) an Opawaho-Ōtākaro

It stands at the entrance to the estuary of the Öpäwaho and Otäkaro (Heathcote and Avon) rivers. Rapanui remains an iconic landmark today, but the profile is permanently changed since the earthquakes and will take some getting used to. This photo records the significant pouwhenua (land mark) as it was.
