Nā te Kaiwhakahaere

E kore e oti aku mihi ki te hunga kua rūmemene atu ki Te Tūpō o te Tini. Ahakoa te mano kua riro, ka noho tonu ō rātou tūmanako hei ara whāinga mā mātou kei te hāhātanga o te whenua. Kia ora mai rā and welcome to my latest pānui, which I hope comes to you all safe and well. The past month has been very busy and has seen us wrap up our roadshows for 2018. I was fortunate to attend a number, including at my own marae at Arahura. As a result, I was able to see and hear the interest our whānau have in the work we are doing, the enjoyment of whānaungatanga from coming together and the enthusiasm to continue the direct engagement the roadshows provide. We have had more than 2500 people attend the roadshows this year, an average of almost 200 people at each hui. This is a tremendous turnout, and I want to thank all of you who attended, whether that was in the takiwā, across Aotearoa, or at one of the locations in Australia. The Form and Function Review survey closed at the end of August and we have received hundreds of completed submissions. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey and took the time to give us your feedback on the questions posed. We will report back to you on the feedback and the final recommendations at Hui-ā-Tau at Ōnuku in November. On 14 August, I attended the Supreme Court hearing in Wellington on behalf of our iwi, to join the Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki Tribal Trust Minister of Conservation case. At its heart, this case is about

Ngāi Tai as mana whenua iwi on its ancestral landscapes of Rangitoto and Motutapu, seeking exclusive tourism rights on the islands and a right to veto the granting of concessions on those islands from the Department of Conservation. Our participation was limited to Section 4 of the Conservation Act and how that is given practical effect to by the Department of Conservation. It was important for Te Rūnanga to become a party to these proceedings as the principles and findings of this court will be binding on all. We are waiting for a decision on this, but I can say that our position was extremely well represented by our QC, Grant Illingworth. In my pānui last month, I mentioned the work being undertaken by our team around freshwater. At the Iwi Chairs Forum in July, hosted by Waikato-Tainui, Environment Minister David Parker presented the Government’s proposed structure of Te Kāhui Wai Māori, a wide-reaching Māori advisory group, to consult the Government on freshwater. Minister Parker encouraged the Iwi Chairs Forum to nominate representatives to this group. Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu does not support the proposed Te Kāhui Wai Māori model. It does not align with Ngāi Tahu freshwater principles and does not accurately reflect the Treaty partnership through its pan-Māori approach. The proposed model for freshwater has no jurisdiction over Ngāi Tahu takiwā and Ngāi Tahu, as the Treaty partner in our takiwā, will engage directly with the Crown on freshwater. The Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement confirms that Ngāi Tahu and the Crown must negotiate in good faith, and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu is committed to engaging directly with the Crown, and we want that to begin immediately.

Finally, those appointed to Te Kāhui Wai Māori are appointed by the Crown, not by Ngāi Tahu. They will not have the support of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. I have every confidence in our team who are doing excellent work on behalf of our iwi in this space and we will continue to seek engagement with the Crown to ensure any decisions around this natural taonga are informed by Ngāi Tahu values and principles. I also want to provide an update on the excellent work also being done by our team on ‘Haea Te Awa’. This is being developed to build the next phase of Ngāi Tahu growth, to enable greater delivery within regions, papatipu rūnanga and whānau, and to grow the Ngāi Tahu footprint (mana) physically and politically within Te Waipounamu with a focus on intergenerational investment. The five key workstreams of Haea Te Awa include: Universal Value Creation, Investments, Distribution, Regional Development and Enhancement, and Pou Whenua. You will receive further information on Haea Te Awa through papatipu rūnanga, and our usual communications channels, I want to acknowledge the team for the good work they are doing on this important kaupapa. In conclusion, I want to acknowledge those who have left us since my last column, and in particular Rewi Anglem, who passed away on 23 August. Rewi was a stalwart for his Hokonui Rūnanga and served as the Alternate Representative for Hokonui for over 20 years. He will be sadly missed. Haere rā e hoa, haere.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae Ngā mate – special mihi to all whānau

A special mihi from the rūnanga to those whānau who have lost loved ones this year. It hasn’t been an easy year; please know we are thinking of you all and sending lots of aroha. Words can’t wipe away your tears, hugs won’t ease your pain, but hold onto your memories, forever they’ll remain. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. May you find peace in those memories shared with them. Aroha tino nui.

Te Pōkai Ao haerenga

Silicon Valley, San Francisco 2018 First of all I’d like to give a huge mihi to Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu; without being selected for this kaupapa I wouldn’t have had such an amazing trip in an amazing place with other amazing rangatahi. So anō ngā mihi ki a koutou katoa.

Wow, what a journey! From the 12 hour flights to the heat in San Francisco, it was all amazing. NASA and Google were two of the most inspirational places I have ever been but what made the trip for me was Berkeley and Stanford University. I met so many amazing students there who have inspired me to follow through with my dreams in cancer research or a similar field. It is my passion to help others and what better way than to treat my whānau and to share my knowledge with them. Every night we tried many different types of kai but I must say I missed a good home roast after the many burgers I had consumed, and let me tell you – they were no ordinary sized burgers – they were huge!

Ngā kaiako Matua Brett, koutou ko Whaea Gaynor, ko Matua Kari, ko Whaea Hineao – without all of you, this wouldn’t have been possible. The commitment you made to us rangatahi was truly inspiring for us to become leaders just like you. Aroha tino nui e ngā rangātira. Tēnei te mihi ki a Theles rāua ko Halle, our tuākana from te rangapū tuarua 2017 who came to tautoko us on our 2018 haerenga as our primo leaders. Ngā rangatahi o Te Pōkai Ao rangapū tuatoru 2018 – you guys were so wonderful to me and I’ve made so many new friends that I now can call my whānau forever. I will have the most cherished memories forever and always.

I’d love to go on about every place we went but I know I’ll take up most of the book if I do. If there is one piece of advice I could share about this journey is to follow your dreams, passion and inspirations. If it wasn’t for this trip then I would never had thought I could push myself to the limit. So with that rangatahi mā, karawhiua! And next year when this haerenga opens for applications, make sure you apply because I promise you this will change your life forever. Ngā mihi ki a koutou katoa. Nā Zion Meihana-Whittle

And last but not least ngā mihi nunui ki tōku whānau. Your awhi to get me to Silicon Valley was the real reason why I went. You all held my hand from the start of the application right through to my arrival back to Christchurch and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys.

Congratulations

Ngāti Waewae would like to congratulate those whānau members who were selected for the West Coast representative rugby teams. Ka mau te wehi koutou! Congratulations also to Aleigha Ngaamo and Lucy Tonihi on being selected for the Ngāi Tahu Rautaki Rakatahi Working Party. Their first wānanga was held on 10-12 August followed by the Rautaki Rakatahi Summit on 24-26 August. Aleigha and Lucy enjoyed both wānanga, returning home feeling inspired and more committed to their hapū and iwi. They want to encourage more rakatahi to get involved and be part of these great opportunities available to Ngāi Tahu whānui. “Having a platform to contribute to the kōrero and be part of developing a Rakatahi Strategy for our Ngāi Tahu rakatahi is massive, and to kōrero in a safe and open forum was meke as” Aleigha said.

Greymouth netball senior South Island tournament

Congratulations to Zion Meihana-Whittle for making the Greymouth Senior South Island representative team. Zion travelled to Dunedin earlier this month to compete among 40 senior South Island teams as part of a week-long tournament. This is an amazing achievement as Zion 15, was competing against 18 year olds. Zion also made the West Coast Under 15 Netball representative team and had a winning streak through three tournaments in Greymouth and Hokitika in June and July. Keep up the amazing work Zion. Karawhiua!

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 a rātou, tātou anō ki a tātou. Tēnā anō tātou katoa! Ka haere mai te wā kōhaka! It may be wishful thinking but it’s starting to feel like Spring is in the air! Kā Tiritiri o te Moana and Aoraki are still looking spectacular, cloaked in hukapapa, but the air is definitely feeling warmer, interspersed with warm spring showers. Everyone has been counting down to 1 September, the start of whitebait season! By the time you read this, hopefully we would have had our first (second, third…) feed of fresh bait!

Ngāti Rārua Visit

On Saturday 1 September after the executive hui at Te Tauraka Waka a Māui Marae, we welcomed Ngāti Rārua onto our marae. We had a long overdue catch up and reconnected with our whānau over a stunning afternoon and a lovely kai. There was lots of chatting and laughing and we cannot wait to see you fellas again next time for a noho. We appreciate the time and effort involved for Ngāti Rārua travelling all the way down to Mahitahi to come visit.

Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio, as mana whenua, sent a small rōpū to be present at the launch where a pōwhiri was held for our manuhiri.

On behalf of the pūrākau wānanga participants, we would like to thank Rāpaki Marae and haukāinga Ngāti Wheke for hosting us in their beautiful wharenui for our wānanga series over the last weekend of August.

Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga Well, well, well, yes it’s me again, the sunshine of Tuahiwi Marae. No I had not retired from writing the pānui, but I have been very busy at the marae – all go-go-go, but I do so love it.

going home”, so home I went. Isn’t my moko Kara lovely. My moko-moko Jack Rowe is having his first birthday on Saturday, it’s a lemonade party for children, but who knows what happens later – we’ll see. I’ve got another moko whose name is Mackenzie, named after the place where his grandfather Ernie was killed at Twizel and another moko named Kaimani, who is going to kōhanga reo in Rangiora.

Condolences to those who have lost loved ones, also those who have been sick and in hospital. OK Mateka, I’m glad to hear you are coming home to stay in Kaiapoi with Crete. You and Pōua Stewart will be able to come to pokies with me. How’s that? And by the way, what do you know I had gout the other day in my big toe. Yes! You guessed right, I was given a dozen oysters and of course, guts, downed them like they were going out of fashion. So thank you niece Nat. Lovely, even with the gout.

All is good on the work front, in the battle field and on the gossip panel. Staff are flat out working their kumu off. So I think I’ll get ready for the night parade at the Kaiapoi Working Men’s Club. Just a little flutter, as for money yes! Any givers I have to find a Sugar Daddy, any about?

The weather is improving but very cold in the mornings. I have my heater on so I shouldn’t moan. Oh and I must tell you this, we had a euchre tournament here last week and what a night, it was lovely – plenty of all sorts, I enjoyed it. I ate, I drank and I fell over. That’s nothing. Then the next minute it was, “get in the car Taua, you’re

Lots of aroha to you all, catch you later. Aunty Pat

The Tuahiwi Project – update

He mihi tēnei ki a koutou ngā uri o Ngāi Tūāhuriri. At the December 2017 rūnanga meeting, members of Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga passed a motion to work toward a restructure of itself and its relationship with all key stakeholders with a view to achieving mana motuhake/independence.

We are currently collating all of this amazing feedback we have received. This feedback will be the backbone of our Phase One – Consultation and Engagement Final Report and would underpin the design of a new structure for Phase Two – Development of the project.

In addition a further motion was moved that confirmed the establishment of an interim working party to lead the restructure. At the February 2018 rūnanga meeting the interim working party presented the Ngāi Tūāhuriri Transformational Leadership proposal to rūnanga members. The proposal set out a three phased project: • Phase One – Engagement and Consultation • Phase Two – Development • Phase Three – Implementation As we approach the end of Phase One the Tuahiwi Project Governance Group would like to thank all who have contributed and participated. We have held four fantastic wānanga attended by over 130, some even traveling down from the North Island. We had over 150 individuals submit feedback on behalf of 550 via the online survey and feedback cards.

Ngā mihi nui ki te whānau o Wairewa. We had a great weekend in August engaging our tamariki/rangatahi and their whānau at Wairewa. It was an awesome turn out with 58 coming along over the duration of the wānanga. The rangatahi were excited to be involved in the redevelopment of our wharekai and the wānanga was a great opportunity for them to positively interact and engage in our marae space. Through sharing stories with our young ones, they were able to learn their whakapapa, hear kaumātua

Upcoming events

The past few months have been busy and I wish to acknowledge Fiona at the marae, who constantly provides support and manaaki beyond expectation for manuhiri. We always receive such great feedback from those who come to visit. The mahi completed in the past couple of months that is important to note are as follows:

Tamariki Day 30 September–1 October. For our coming Tamariki Day, we will noho at Ngāti Moki, with an Amazing Race Car Rally on Monday 1 October. We need eight teams of four tamariki and four teams of four tamariki with one adult driver. Great prizes are up for grabs! More information will be disseminated through e-pānui.

Also, we would like to acknowledge Lyndon Waaka and his support in connecting our tamariki with kete, which included information on opportunities Ngāi Tahu offers, colouring in books and pencils, book marks, pens and reusable cups.

Ko te rika toi i whakamanahia – Cover artist, Te Pānui Rūnaka September 2018

Kathleen Lousich, Koukourārata Kathleen can’t imagine a life without her art – it is how she interprets and expresses life, it is how she earns a living and, through Te Pānui Rūnaka, it is a channel of communication with her iwi. She has been a regular feature artist in Te Pānui Rūnaka over the past few years (with two covers featuring in May and June-July last year) and says she has loved being able to share a part of herself with Kāi Tahu. She has been a self-taught painter for more than half her life and is now studying in her final year towards a Bachelor of Creative Industries at Toi-Ohomai Institute in Tauranga to broaden her creative skill set. “The wahine painting is an appropriation of a facial reconstruction from remains that were excavated on the Wairau Bar in Blenheim. The koiwi that were found there are currently in residence at the Otago Museum. I chose to paint her because I am from Waikawa Bay and scholars believe the Wairau Bar was one of the first Maori cities in Aotearoa during the Micronesian migration,” Kathleen says of her cover artwork. “I am strongly influenced by cultural issues, indigenous rights and the landscapes of Aotearoa. I hope that I can inspire people with my art and, in particular, young Māori to reach their dreams and goals no matter the obstacles that may stand in the way. I also feel my art is a platform to address social and ethical issues that need to be discussed more,” Kathleen says. To create the cover artwork, Kathleen used gesso and oil on canvas.

Kakī bird release

Waihao Rūnanga extends our deepest sympathy to all our whānau suffering the loss of loved one at this time. We acknowledge the whānau of Lynne Davis.

A record number of endangered black stilt/kakī were released into the wild in the Mackenzie Basin in August after the best breeding season ever. The kakī population has been slowly increasing in the wild from a low of 23 birds in the 1980s to a recent count of 132 adult birds today. The intensive captive rearing of young birds is vital to sustain and grow the wild population. Whānau from Waihao attended and helped catch and release 20 sub-adults in the Godley River on Friday 10 August.

Te haerenga o ngā rōia rangatahi ki China

Liam would like to thank the New Zealand China Friendship Society, his employer Chapman Tripp, and Te Rūnanga o Waihao for their generous support.

Liam Stoneley (Stokes whānau) has recently returned from a two week delegation to China, organised by the New Zealand China Friendship Society. Liam was one of six young lawyers chosen to represent the legal profession in China as part of an exchange of ideas, cultures and knowledge between the two legal professions. Highlights of the delegation include meeting local lawyers in Beijing and Shanghai, as well as meeting with both the New Zealand Ambassador to China and Consul General in Shanghai. “It was weekly waiata practice while we were at the Embassy in Beijing, and it just felt like coming home – being part of that small expat community was an awesome feeling,” Liam said.

Te Rūnanga o Moeraki Welcome to our world

We welcome baby Scarlett Reihana, born 4 April. A daughter for Katerina and David Reihana of Minsk, Belarus. Scarlett is the mokopuna of uncle Toki, Hana Kaikai and the Whitau whānau.

Congratulations

It is with pleasure we share with the wider whānau that Tuhekeao Williams has been selected for the 2018 Waitaha (Canterbury Māori) Under 18 development team. Tuhekeao (16) is mokopuna to Joseph Tipa and the late Judy Tipa, and youngest son of Barry and Betsy Williams (nee Tipa). Tuhekeao played for Ōtautahi Seniors RFC in positions open side/blind side flanker and number 8 when he was selected. This year the team will play 4 warm up matches before competing in the South Island Tournament finals weekend over 5–7 October for the first time. The whānau wish Tuhekeao encouragement as he undertakes the start of his sporting journey.

United Nations University Scholars Youth Leadership I was fortunate to be selected to attend the Ninth United Nations University Scholars Youth Leadership Symposium in Bangkok this August and wish to thank Te Rūnaka o Moeraki for the koha towards the cost of attending. He mihi nui ki a koutou mō te tautoko i te kaupapa nei.

I would recommend Ngāi Tahu rangatahi jump at the opportunity to attend United Nations events as we follow others who have worked within our cultural framework to bring change for other Indigenous Peoples. My Taua Oriwia’s mother, Erihapeti RehuMurchie, worked on the drafting of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples for many years. No doubt conversations in homes and marae in Te Wāhi Pounamu informed her input into a universal set of standards that seek to uphold the mana and dignity of Indigenous Peoples. In her words: “As Ngāi Tahu and as a Māori I see the Declaration as an international expression of the rights we have through whakapapa and the treaty… As an indigenous woman I see it as the first ever international statement about the minimum human rights standards that apply to Indigenous Peoples, including indigenous women and children. From both points of the view the Declaration will enable us to claim back the right of self-determination and give our people international reassurance that tino rangatiratanga has a political as well as a cultural meaning.” Te Ari will be returning to the United Nations in November to take part in the Youth Peace Ambassador Summit and subsequent program.

The sustainable development goals of the United Nations formed the basis of the symposium. There were many issues raised around effective leadership in the face of globalisation, climate and conflict refugees, environmental degradation, economic disparity and the on-going colonisation on Indigenous Peoples. As a thirdyear nursing student at Avondale in Sydney I focussed on the third goal: ‘To improve the health and wellbeing of all’. Attending the summit was an intensive week long learning experience to remember alongside 1065 delegates from 87 countries. Young people with a vision for a more equitable tomorrow, all working on different projects and in various sectors, helping their communities in a multiple ways. The values of effective leadership were laid out, these included: vision, gratitude, service, resilience, innovation, people skills, lifelong learning and living in authenticity. Most importantly, it is the little things that matter. These values packaged in a new and refreshing way, plus the connections I made were the highlights of my experience. The UN was essentially providing a platform to weave us together in an ever-shrinking world. It was a reminder to not forget the power of the individual to make change and most importantly the power of a collective group of people working towards common goals for the good of humanity and our natural world. We see these collective values at work in our own whānau and communities. Networking was the primary purpose of the symposium, to form connections with likeminded people from around the world, plus share our experiences and contact details to help each other push forward with purpose. After all, many good things start with a conversation.

Te Ari Hunter-Ryan (whānau Rehu-Murchie).

Our champ

From the TRoNT rep

I have talked to the rūnanga about bringing staff from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu to Moeraki Marae the day before our rūnanga hui to provide workshops that provide more in-depth information about some of the work going on at the office.

At the end of the afternoon, we will also get to hear about the Haea te Awa project from one of the staff. Please come along! Also please join the regular teleconferences held the Tuesday evening before TRoNT hui to give your thoughts on the papers coming up; copies of the papers are available from the office. Please feel free to contact me anytime on anything you wish to discuss re TRoNT.

The first workshop will be on Saturday 6 October 2018, starting at 1pm. We will have Dr Ronnie Cooper come and talk to us about climate change, and we will get the chance to discuss the kaupapa from our perspective. 18

Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki Congratulations

the informal afternoon tea. We were then free to wander the public spaces of Government House, mingling with other recipients and their families.

On 16 May 2018, the Ellison whānau of Karitāne embarked on a hīkoi to Wellington to celebrate Suzanne Ellison’s investiture at Government House where she became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

It was a great honour to have been a part of Suzanne’s special day and needless to say we are all very proud of her achievements. Truly a well-deserved award. Nā Melissa Ellison

Suzanne’s award was announced in the New Year’s Honours list 2017 and was bestowed for her life-long services to Māori, the arts, and governance. This particular ceremony was of extra special significance because Suzanne was one of sixteen female recipients recognised on this day to mark 125 years of women’s Suffrage. Six of our whānau, two of whom had travelled from Australia, were lucky enough to be invited guests of Dame Patsy Reddy, Governor General of New Zealand. Dame Patsy congratulated Suzanne for her dedication and commitment to various causes, particularly her work for Ngāi Tahu, and her work for Te Waka Toi (the Māori Arts Council) and Creative NZ but the commendation included a long, long list of other mahi in the arts and governance during her distinguished career. Afterwards, the Governor General took the time to meet each of us, chatting and posing for photographs during

Maria Ellison, Catherine Hewlett, Raniera Ellison, Suzanne Ellison, Matapura Ellison, Aroha Ellison and Melissa Ellison.

Whale Bone Find

While cleaning the waka for an upcoming tour with Karitāne Māori Tours, my son Tamati was off exploring the foreshore at low tide opposite the boat club on the reserve. He came to tell me he had found a bit of whale bone and, being busy, I told him to use a stick to dig it out. It wasn’t until another person went and started digging as well that I realised Tamati had found something a bit larger than I thought! Thanks for bringing the spade down Brendan, the rib came out a bit easier that way. Nā Alex Whitaker

Artefacts gifted to Rūnaka

On Friday 17 August we received from Jesse Beard, an ex-Karitāne resident, his collection of artefacts - most of which had been gathered from this area. Jesse is a registered collector, but has decided it’s time to pass on his collection. Kathy (nee Kent) and Roy Coombes, who have known Jesse for many years, came long for the occasion.

and we haven’t had the staff capacity to manage the collections in the way we would like. Watch this space as we develop this kaupapa.

Jesse appreciated the gathering and the chance to reconnect with old friends and to go through his collection and talk about where the pieces were gathered. The rūnaka is also a registered collector so we are able to hold the taoka/artefacts. We have a taoka cabinet at the marae where some items are displayed and we are considering how we care for our growing collection of taoka as well as archival material as space is at a premium in our filing room Some of the taoka gifted by Jesse to the rūnaka.

AGM/RGM/Triennial election meeting

The annual general meeting(s) of the Incorporated Society and Puketeraki Limited, and rūnaka general meeting start at 10am sharp on Sunday 4 November. These will be followed by the Triennial election meeting for the Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu representative and alternate representative. Please put this very important date in your diary!

Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou Kā mate

Me te aroha tino nui atu – tō tatou tino aroha ki te whānau - with loving sympathy to everyone who has lost a loved one recently, including kā whānau of Aroha Ellison-Kellenbach (nèe Ellison), Rewi Whatuira Walter Anglem, Riki Pitama and Danetta Stringer who was a past prominent member of the Ōtepoti Māori Women’s Welfare League.

Taonga uncovered

On Wednesday 15 August 2018 Taieri Mouth resident Trevor Griffin (partner of Kiri Fraser of Kāi Tahu) found a seven foot long toro (spear) while whitebaiting on the Taieri River near The Chimneys.

The taonga could be around 200 years old and was likely carved from mānuka. It was found in an area where local tradition has it that a chief was killed mid-flight, jumping off a cliff known as Māori Leap to escape his pursuers, though it is difficult to prove any connection between the toro and the tradition. The toro is now being treated in the organic treatment tank at Ōtākou Marae alongside the Papanui waka.

“I was enjoying my day whitebaiting then saw something unusual shaped; it was man-made I thought, the taiaha my son makes had that same shape on it. As soon you touched it then you realised it was something special.” After realising the significance of his find, he contacted the Otago Museum where Rachel Wesley (Ōtākou hapū member) works as the Curator Māori. The toro was measured, photographed and recorded by Rachel. Rachel said the toro was an exciting discovery and a significant piece of local Māori history. “I would rank this as pretty significant, we’ve a really amazing collection here at Otago Museum but we don’t have any weapons of this type so securely provenienced to Otago.”

Taieri fisherman Trevor Griffin and Ōtākou kaumātua Paul Karaitiana display the toro Trevor found near the Taieri river in August.

Portrait of Chief Atay of Otago – 1835

A portrait of a young Kāi Tahu chief drawn in 1835 in Sydney, Australia has been returned to Otago after it was purchased by the University of Otago’s Hocken Collection. The portrait was drawn by German-born artist Charles Rodius, who was thought to have resided in Australia when he drew it, during a time when there were Māori living in Sydney. Rodius drew several other Māori and identified them with the phonetic spelling of their names. The portrait had been handed down through many generations of a family from the time it was drawn and had very good provenience.

Kaumātua Paul Karaitiana and Hata Timo examine the portrait of young chief Atay, drawn by artist Rodius in Sydney 1835.

Hocken librarian Sharon Dell said the drawing was exceptional and unique from other portraits she had seen from that era. “I think the thing that is so arresting about it is how accurately this young man’s humanity has been captured, that he has an extraordinarily engaging presence. There is somehow something very immediate and extraordinary about the experience of seeing it in person, so for us the fact that it was such a good portrait, that it was a person very strongly related to Otago in such an early representation made it an incredibly important thing for Hocken to acquire.” It cost the Hocken collection around $150,000 with funding support from the library’s endowment trust. It is possible with further research that in time our Kāi Tahu historians using records such as ships logs; whakapapa and whānau evidence might be able to establish Atay’s true identity.

Kaitiakitanga Wānanga

Ōtākou was happy to host the Ngāi Tahu Kaitiakitanga Wānanga last month over the weekend of 9–11 August. Around 40 Kāi Tahu members from around the rohe and who hold positions as kaitiaki gathered to strengthen relationships and share their roles, environmental gains or give support to concerns and issues. Ringawera Julz Asher worked her magic in the wharekai delivering some awesome kai as per usual which was so appreciated by all! The wānanga was led by kaumātua Edward Ellison and with Tā Tipene O’Regan and Paulette Tamati-Elliffe as guest speakers extremely valuable sessions were held. Ōtākou would like to acknowledge the very professional support from Ngāi Tahu staff: Sarah Wilson Programme Leader – Mauri, Te Ao Tūroa, and Senior Environmental Advisor, Kirsty Huxford, who spent heaps of lead in time corresponding with Edward and Ōtākou office administrator Sha Hemopo to deliver a successful event. The wānanga included a really informative hīkoi to Te Nohoaka o Tukiauau/Sinclair Wetlands with Paulette who is a trustee, Ian Bryant Chair of the trust and rūnaka member, and environmental coordinator Glen Riley.

It is with much sadness we acknowledge the passing of Rewi Whatuira Walter Anglem on Thursday, 23 August at his home in Hokonui. Rewi was born 10 September 1937 at Temuka Pā, Arowhenua. Rewi (Kāti Huirapa, Waitaha, Ngāti Māmoe) attended Arowhenua Native School and moved to Te Ika a Māui in the ‘60s, working at various freezing works before moving south to Murihiku where he continued working in the freezing industry at Makarewa. Rewi held a trade in welding and was known to be comfortable with uncertainty and open to experimentation – the very essence of an entrepreneurial spirit. He worked tirelessly for his people. Rewi will be sadly missed here at Hokonui; his shoes will be big ones to fill.

Waihōpai Rūnaka He mate

Take time to rest

For those who have sadly lost a loved one this past month, aroha nui, aroha nui aroha nui. To all the whānau and close friends of Rewi Anglem, aroha nui ki a koutou katoa i tēnei wā. He was a very busy man, part of so much – he will be a real loss here, for Hokonui Rūnaka and Ngāi Tahu in general. I had a lot of time for Rewi. When you drive down the highway coming into Invercargill if you see all the daffodils on the side of the road, Rewi and his team grew them so we could share their beauty before coming into Invercargill. Well done cuz. Moe mai rā, moe mai rā e te rangitira e Rewi, haere ki te waka o ngā tūpuna; haere, haere, haere atu rā.

This has been an especially hard month for our whānau. I had some spare time so thought I should rest up in the hōhipera. It was making life a little more challenging by not having the ability to do the basics, like breathing. I am all good now. I am not alone trying to fight off the bugs that winter brings. For those of us who are getting on in years, look after yourself. Iti Ruru would like to point out that it is not just our pēpi that need to maintain the lifelong relationship with kori (movement) and kai (nutrition).

Rūnaka and marae hui

active roles in the rūnaka – you are really appreciated. Ka pai, keep up the good work’.

We have had a rather quiet month on the marae this month. Fiordland College and Hāwea Flat schools came for a noho, Polyfest practice, Civil Defence and Rakiura tītī hui, and our kaumātua health day hui.

Pharmacist Brendon McIntosh, (Ngāi Tahu, Puketeraki) commented that kaumātua seem especially prone to being asked to assist in the needs of whānau, rūnaka and marae when they should be enjoying their retirement. This is something applicable to many of our kaumātua, but I wish to say… ‘I am so glad you enjoy playing such

Notice of intention to hold a postal ballot

Over the past month we have been busy collating data for the annual report and preparing financials for the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Over the same period there has been a steady flow of new registrations which is awesome to see. We are, however, very short of electronic contact details for many of our existing membership. It may well be that you have changed your email address or you have acquired one since you registered. The quickest and easiest way to contact our members is by email and as is often the case that opportunities for whānau arrive at short notice. In light of this we would appreciate it if you could contact us with any changes or updates to your email details as soon as possible.

Please note - Only those persons who have established their entitlement to be members of the Rūnaka before Thursday 18 October 2018 are eligible to receive voting papers for this postal ballot.

Oraka Aparima Rūnaka wishes to inform all members and potential members to the Rūnaka of its intention to conduct a postal ballot. This postal ballot is for the purposes of electing the members of Oraka Aparima Rūnaka appointment komiti. Once elected, the Appointment Komiti will be responsible for appointing the Representative and Alternate representative of the Rūnaka to represent the interests of the Rūnaka at meeting of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

Spring has sprung here in the South and with the growing season nearly upon us it’s time to get cracking in the garden! It’s a great time to get tamariki involved in gardening by planting a few seeds in containers and watching them make the transition through germination to harvest. Aside from the economic and health benefits, growing your own fruit and vegetables gives you an opportunity to enjoy healthy organic produce that is free from chemicals and sprays.

All persons eligible to become a member of the Rūnaka are encouraged to apply to be registered as a member. Members of the Rūnaka who have previously been registered are encouraged to ensure that their contact details as held by the office of the Rūnaka are correct. Oraka Aparima Rūnaka is also calling for nominations for the Appointment Komiti. The nominations must be in writing and received by the Rūnaka before Thursday 18 October 2018. Further information and copies of the constitution of Oraka Aparima Rūnaka Inc are available from www.companies.govt. nz, otherwise these are available on application to: Oraka Aparima Rūnaka, 175 Palmerston Street, Riverton 9822 P: 03 2348 192

We are now a month into the whitebait season and reports so far are mixed. Remember our stand on Aparima River is available for whānau to use. So if you fancy a nice day on the awa, see details below on how to book the stand.

Ō Kōura Wetlands

Riverton Primary school Visit On 17 August a team of senior school students visited Ō Kōura wetlands to assist with the native planting programme. Despite the overcast weather the tamariki took to their chore with gusto and were able to plant over 800 native plants. This was a mighty effort – a huge thank you to everybody who attended and to those who volunteered and made this possible.

Whitebait stand

You will also be required to read and acknowledge our whitebaiting health and safety documentation and complete an induction. These forms sum up our expectations and your responsibilities as a user. This paperwork only has to be done once during the season.

As some of you are aware we own a whitebait stand on the Aparima River. This stand is available for whānau to use throughout the season. To be fair to everybody bookings can only be made two weeks in advance. We also ballot out the prime tides as we can receive multiple requests for those periods. If you make a booking and are unable to go, please inform the office so the stand can be utilised by somebody else.

Those whānau who used the stand last season found the people from the surrounding stands to be really supportive and helpful. So come on whānau, what could be better than a few hours on the awa catching a feed of whitebait?

If you wish to use the stand you will need to fill out a booking form.

80th birthday celebrations

Pictured is Mrs. Annie Kenneally (nèe Crengle) of Colac Bay celebrating her 80th birthday with whānau at the Ascot Park Hotel. She, her husband Les and two of her four sons came from Christchurch to celebrate with us. Annie has planned another evening with her children and mokopuna in Christchurch on the day of her actual birthday. Her tūpuna are Kaitai Pahi and Maika Neera from Ōraka Wakapatu.

Mrs Rowena Tomlin

Rowena Tomlin retired in May after 43 years of driving one of the school buses in the Riverton area taking children to and from the primary school and college. The run was from Riverton to Colac Bay around Ward’s Road and through Tīhaka and back to the schools.

Her beautiful cards and gifts from the children, schools and parents were delightful and very humbling and she sure misses the daily contact with the children. Rowena not only transferred children to and from schools, her services were also used for schools sports and for netball and rugby trips at weekends. Nā Shona Fordyce

Rowena was asked if she could drive for Roly More who owned More’s Motors. She gained confidence because of the size of the buses and driving with her older brother Jimmy who became part owner of the bus fleet. She had various bus routes out in Western Southland covering Orepuki, Pahia, Wakapatu, Colac Bay to Riverton and she loved every year of her driving. Over the last few years the bus service has changed hands from More Motors to IP Transport to Go Bus and then McDermotts coach lines. McDermotts won the school contracts and were in charge when she retired. Living in the Riverton area, Rowena said a number of the children were related and she certainly has a number of Māori children on her runs. The children were all ages and some who were a little troublesome she fixed with a lolly! She drove her nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews plus her two grandsons when they came along to kindergarten, primary and college. This was her goal.

Te Kōawa Tūroa o Takitimu. This is a magnificent venue in the beautiful Jericho valley, approximately 40kms from Te Anau with facilities to sleep 20 plus people. There are excellent opportunities for biking, walking, hunting and fishing in the local area. So if you and a few of your whānau or friends would like to stay there please contact us here at the office for details.

Volunteers

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

Holiday Home in Te Anau

Did you know that we have a comfortable house for whānau to rent within the township of Te Anau in Fiordland? This property sleeps eight and is situated in the heart of the town. It is within walking distance of all amenities and only a short distance from many of the tourist opportunities the region has to offer. Please contact the office for further details or to make a booking. Please note that this property is used by whānau and as such should not be treated like a motel. You are required to leave the place clean and tidy for the next person.

Contact details

We are progressively updating our membership database to improve the quality of our information. So if you or any of your whānau have moved house or changed email address or phone numbers then please let us know as soon as possible.

Communication with whānau

We are looking at ways to improve our communications with whānau and as such 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!

Membership

You are probably reading this pānui because you or a whānau member are registered with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Did you know that many Papatipu Rūnanga run their membership lists in different ways? Some automatically add you to their list as soon as you register with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu while others like ourselves run separate lists. Please note that in all cases it will be necessary to authenticate your whakapapa details. Contact us on 03 234 8192 or email office@orakaaparima.org.nz if you would like to register or have any questions at all about our membership process.

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 and vacancies for representatives on various boards. The link www.facebook.com/OrakaAparimaRūnakaPanui will take you to this page. In the interim we will continue to send you emails, however, if you no longer wish to receive emails please let us know. 27

Awarua Rūnanga Ngā mate

This month has seen a number of whānau pass away. We wish to acknowledge the loss of George Kumeroa, Hato Hiini and Lester Baty – our aroha goes out to their whānau.

Taurahere Groups Ngāi Tahu ki Kāpiti Coast

Pua kōwhai ki uta, īnaka ki tai, ko te Kana e! Tā moko te ao! Two of our taua recently had their moko kauae done by tā moko artist and musician, Wiremu Barriball. Mariana Williams-Wilson and Clare Williams (Bluff whānau) were two of four hākui/taua/kuia/wāhine to have their moko kauae done at Tū Roa kōhanga. The whakatūwhera was done by kuia Tūngia Kaihau and then the day began. It was full of whānau, waiata and of course, kai. E kīkī ana te whare i te hoihoi o te whānau whānui me te wairua o ngā tūpuna. Ka mihi atu ki a kōrua kua mau nei i tēnei taonga tuku iho.

nā Emma Whiterod Pēpi hou Congratulations to Hinewa and Pax Taurima and whānau on the arrival of your pēpi, Takuna Taurima, born 29 April. Takuna is pictured here with the taonga she received from Kāi Tahu. Tō rerehua hoki, pēpi!

Ngāi Tahu ki Brisbane

Te Kupeka a Tahu A first of its kind in the Australian setting, the ‘Festival of Nesian Nations’ invited Polynesian, Melanesian, Micronesian, and First Nation Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, to share culture and promote learning and education across their communities.

Tracy said that the mix of strategies of free entry, community and cultural champions working alongside educators and cultural leaders, NGOs, community groups, and kanohi ki te kanohi tactics online and off, drove the excitement and showed in the numbers who attended.

A seaside setting, cultural food, entertainment, and social media, all helped to draw over 20,000 to this one day event.

She likened her experience of the day to the courageousness of the tītī and acknowledged the support of Brisbane’s Taurahere working alongside her on the day. Nā, Creedence Watson-Feilo.

A member of our Brisbane taurahere, Te Kupeka a Tahu, and co-event coordinator, Tracy Watson, said it was a ‘step’ in the right direction when it comes to influencing local Nesian communities to lead with culture and use education to propel its people further. She explained that there were so many high-risk points leading up to the day: ‘...a name change, a venue change, committee changes, role changes, late funding all influenced whether this would be successful or not. It came down to believing that this was the best platform, leading with culture, to understand that education is vital to all of our communities’ future’.

Ngāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana

Tauranga talk – what’s happening in the sunny bay? We warmly invite whānau of Ngāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana to our next Taurahere hui on Sunday 7 October. Please note that we will begin earlier than usual because we have Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Whakapapa Unit coming up from the South Island. See below for details. The Agenda will include our usual business, followed by a presentation from the Whakapapa Unit. We will then have the opportunity to spend some one on one time with members from the unit to talk about our individual whakapapa.

black sheep. Can you look back at their individual stories and gain understanding? Perhaps your grandchildren will identify you as a person who dared to make a difference. Our lineage reminds us to lead meaningful, purpose driven lives. But sometimes your own research resources will only let you go so far… Come along to our hui on 7 October with what information that you have, and let our experts take you on a journey to find out your family story.

Family ancestry not only provides links to our whānau but can help us identify with who we are, and where we are from. In addition and as genetics get more sophisticated, researchers, epidemiologists and scientists may find valuable clues to curing disease embedded in family trees. Knowing who your grandmother and great-grandmother is easy if they are still alive, but finding out who their great-grandparents were requires a lot of note-taking and fact checking. When we remember our tīpuna we place an anchor to our responsibilities, the environment and to our future generations. Perhaps your family tree throws up a few

When: 12.30pm, Sunday 7 October Where: Aronui Marae, Tauranga Boys’ College – 664 Cameron Road, Tauranga At this hui we also hope to have an update on the Funding of our Aronui Project… but more exciting information on that in the next pānui. Remember to like our facebook page to stay updated (Ngāi Tahu ki Tauranga Moana).

An RSVP at least two days prior to the hui is always appreciated – especially by the people who put the chairs out and make the cup of tea! Email kimngaitahu@gmail.com to RSVP with us. We are asking that anyone who would like to spend one on one time with someone from the Whakapapa Unit to RSVP the unit directly to arrange this. These sessions will be around 20 minutes long, and will commence after our hui has finished. Please contact Allanah Burgess the Projects Advisor to book meeting times.

Ngāi Tahu ki Whanganui-ā-Tara

At our last hui in July, we had an awesome day together learning about whakapapa led by Whaea Hauangi Parata who is a real expert in this area. She brought all her charts and could link them all! It was an exciting day and we had new members as well as some regulars. On Sunday 14 October, we will have Takerei Norton and Helen Brown come to talk about the cultural mapping website.

We want this to be a great interactive day and hope you have this in your diary already! We meet at Hikoikoi (Wellington Tenths Trust), 24d Marine Parade, Petone in Lower Hutt. We advertise via our Facebook page: Ngāi Tahu ki Te Whanganui-aTara, and also send out an email if we have your email address.

Rautaki Rakatahi

Special acknowledgement to the rūnaka of Arowhenua and Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri for their tautoko at times under exceptional circumstances. The rakatahi were cloaked in the histories, by the places and manaaki of our hapū. We were warm and fed in all aspects required for the whakaaro to flourish and we sincerely thank you.

Rakatahi tū; rakatahi ora! Ka hao te rakatahi! He kākano i ruia mai i Rakiātea Mā te rakatahi te huarahi ki mua! Me he manawa tītī! Over the last month Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu have hosted a series of wānaka with an extraordinary group of rakatahi and tuākana from across the motu. As an iwi our youth demographic is significant and growing.

This is a shared kaupapa supported by the Te Taumatua, Ōraka and Te Ao Tūroa teams at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Watch this space whānau for more updates around this kaupapa!

Currently 40% of our population are under the age of 25 years and half of those are under the age of 15 years. It is therefore essential that the experiences and voice of our rakatahi are enabled to determine a rakatahi strategy that will endure for them and those to come. As a rōpū they were asked to share their perspectives across a range of areas and they clearly identified their aspirations as the next generation of leaders and navigators for the iwi. The end result will be the development of a Rakatahi Strategy-Te Rautaki Rakatahi for Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

Medication management boosting kaumātua confidence The Kia Kaha Chemist is combining his knowledge of Te Ao Māori and medicine to help patients find their mana. Brendon McIntosh (Kāi Tahu) has been a pharmacist for over four years. Now partially funded by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu, the mobile pharmacist visits marae across Greater Christchurch. He is also supported by the Canterbury Community Pharmacy Group to undertake Medicines Use Reviews (MUR), which he approaches from a Māori perspective, to help people better understand and selfmanage their medication. Brendon uses the word chemist, as this is how kaumātua are able to identify his role within the Canterbury Health System.

“It’s just about being there with knowledge that people can tap into,” he says. At Rehua Marae, he works with nurses to identify patients who may need some assistance with their prescriptions and medications. It is his job to better educate people to ensure they are not discouraged from seeking support.

During a university summer internship, McIntosh identified he wanted to work in Māori health. “I went over the whole Otago area interviewing Māori when the prescription cost rose from $3 to $5. It was a big eye opener. I saw families having to choose between their mental health medication, their heart meds or food for that week.”

“A lot of Māori can be whakamā. So I see this as a way of building up a relationship, and then they won’t be afraid to ask for help,” he says. For Kāumatua, who meet at Rehua marae twiceweekly, Brendon provides a listening ear.

McIntosh is hoping his venture as the Kia Kaha Chemist can address those sorts of needs and engage Māori with the Canterbury Health System.

Attendee Susan Teki says it’s about having a safe place to discuss your medications, without taking up the time of a doctor,” she says.

After undertaking a review of one woman’s 16 prescription medicines, McIntosh helped reduce that number to five.

For Teki, McIntosh’s service will allow her to help the rōpū.

He regularly holds information sessions at Tuahiwi Marae for the Healthy Day at the Pā. He has so far presented on a number of topics, including winter wellness, healthy aging and nutrition.

“I can put this information in my kete, so I can help others go to him.” For more information on the Kia Kaha Chemist, go to www. kiakahachemist.org.nz

Following his sessions, he will always answer any questions people might have on their medications. 33

Kotahi Mano Kāika held the fourth Kia Kūrapa of the year at Takahanga Marae over the weekend (31 August – 2 September). We were blessed by the high calibre of our kaiako: Rāwiri Manawatū, Corban Te Aika, Rāhera Clark and Tamahou Thoms. We want to thank Jeanine Tamati-Elliffe and Gemma Stewart for looking after our tamariki. Over 50 whānau members attended to increase their proficiency in te reo Māori, some coming from as far away as Brisbane. On the first night, Maurice Manawatū spoke about the wharenui and the history of Kaikōura. Our knowledgeable teachers covered everything from basic sentence structures to whakataukī and kīwaha. Whānau were also able to go to the pā of Te Rakiwhakaputa and hear kōrero from Rāwiri Manawatū about our migration stories.

Hoki mai rā Haere mai rā Tēnei tātou, tēnei te hokinga mai This year Hui-ā-Tau marks 20 years since the iwi gathered at Ōnuku for the Crown Apology and will celebrate the strides Ngāi Tahu has taken since this momentous occasion in 1998.

Car parking and transportation Transportation to and from the marae will be available from the parking area at Akaroa Area School, 141 Rue Jolie, as the Ōnuku Road will be closed to traffic during Hui-ā-Tau.

For many of us it is also a time to reflect and remember those who have passed over in the ensuing two decades since settlement. Although they are no longer with us we carry them with us as we gather – Te Hokinga Mai. Te Rūnanga o Ōnuku, in conjunction with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, invite you to attend Hui-ā-Tau 2018, which will be held at Ōnuku Marae, on Saturday 24 November at 10am. Hui-ā-Tau Programme 10:00am

Te Ao Tūroa – Environment Team

Kaitiakitanga in Action Wānanga In early August the Te Ao Tūroa team with the support of Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou hosted the Kaitiakitanga in Action wānanga at Ōtākou Marae. More than 40 Ngāi Tahu whānui from around Aotearoa attended, including Ngāi Tahu representatives on species recovery groups and conservation boards, and whānau actively involved in conservation efforts at the flaxroots. The kaupapa was to share and learn from the great mahi happening around the takiwā, and identify the Ngāi Tahu priorities for action into the future. A highlight was a field trip to Te Nohoaka o Tukiauau/Sinclair Wetlands. Planting at Te Nohoaka o Tukiauau / Sinclair Wetlands.

In particular, we want to let whānau know about Earth & Sky, our stargazing business in Takapō, which is currently building a state-of-the-art international astronomy centre on the shores of Lake Takapō.

Ngāi Tahu Tourism information evenings

The centre opens in 2019 and as well as being a base for the existing stargazing tours, it will also be home to a new daytime astronomy experience and a fully serviced cafe and bar.

Ngāi Tahu Tourism is on a mission to get more Ngāi Tahu working in tourism and becoming leaders. So we’re coming to your town to talk about cadetships, scholarships, and job opportunities for you, your whānau, and your tamariki.

This means we will need up to 30 new people to join the existing team as guides, chefs, kitchen hands, front of house staff, and customer service representatives.

During the busy summer season, we employ over 500 people in our 13 tourism businesses around Aotearoa. Our kaimahi do all sorts of things; they drive buses and jet boats, fly helicopters, they guide tour groups in the bush, on glaciers, and through the night sky.

We want to attract Ngāi Tahu into these roles, and if you’re interested and want to know more, come along to our information hui, meet us, join us for kai, and find out about opportunities at Ngāi Tahu Tourism.

They’re mechanics, designers, chefs, and front of house superstars who work hard to manaaki our manuhiri.

Information evenings All hui are from 6–8pm

• Christchurch Wednesday 19 September at Te Whare o Te Waipounamu • Ōamaru Thursday 20 September at the Opera House • Timaru Friday 21 September at the Landing Services Conference Centre • Dunedin Monday 24 September at the Otago University Staff Club • Queenstown Tuesday 25 September at the Copthorne Queenstown Lakefront • Hokitika Thursday 8 November at Arahura Marae Some of the Earth and Sky team.

Find out more and register your interest at www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz/ntt or call 0800 524 8248.

Ngāi Tahu Tourism’s second jet boat mechanic appointed

“It has been a challenge to recruit experienced jet boat mechanics, so it’s important for us to find ways to build this talent,” he said.

Ngāi Tahu Tourism has appointed its second marine mechanic trainee. Joseph Reuben, of Ngāi Tūāhuriri, will start his marine mechanic career at Queenstown’s Shotover Jet in September.

Mr Hall says opening the opportunity to Ngāi Tahu people is part of the Ngāi Tahu Tourism programme to support the aspirations and development of the iwi.

The apprenticeship involves on-the-job training, guidance and support, while working towards a qualification from the NZ Marine and Composites Industry Training Organisation.

For more information on this apprenticeship, please contact: James Tawa Iwi Connection Coordinator, Ngāi Tahu Tourism 021 731 352 or james.tawa@nttourism.co.nz

Joseph is looking forward to expanding his skillset into marine mechanics. “I’m real stoked to be given this opportunity working for Ngāi Tahu Tourism and the iwi. Over the years I’ve built a career in automotive refinishing and wanted to branch out into something new. I believe the knowledge and skills I have would serve me well transitioning to the apprenticeship. I primarily whakapapa to Ngāi Tūāhuriri and would like to connect with my iwi, and believe that this would be a fantastic opportunity,” he said. Ngāi Tahu Tourism Chief Executive Quinton Hall maintains the training programme is one way to encourage more people to consider the tourism industry as a career option, particularly in the field of marine mechanics.

Pānui Palmerston North whānau service focuses on empowerment Samuel and Sakura Boyles. On Saturday 1 September Man Up and Legacy Sisterhood Empowerment celebrated the victories of our men and women after successful completion of our 15 week programme in Palmerston North. Whānau gathered at Te Arohanoa Community Centre in Highbury for this event.

Participants are encouraged and supported on their paths to personal greatness. We currently have one Man Up group running and four Legacy Sisterhood groups in Palmerston North. If you know of whānau who would benefit from these free programmes, please contact 0800 1MAN UP or 0800 110582 (Legacy).

Man Up and Legacy are both self-empowerment programmes designed for men and women from all walks of life.

Paemanu Charitable Trust

Paemanu Charitable Trust is holding its AGM at 10am on Sunday 14 October at Uenuku wharenui, Moeraki Marae, corner of Tenby Street and Te Karita Road, Moeraki 9482. Please RSVP or send apologies to the Secretary vicki.lenihan@gmail.com Whānau took part in sit and be fit exercises and enjoyed performances from James Hargest School Kapa Haka rōpū. Not to be out-staged, a group of kuia got up on the stage to perform alongside the rangatahi.

Kaumātua Day – Murihiku

Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu with investment from PHARMAC supported Te Rūnanga o Waihōpai to hold a successful kaumātua day at Murihiku Marae in August. The kaupapa for the day was health and wellbeing. Over 60 kaumātua attended and were able to engage with a number of organisations and agencies including Invercargill City Council, Southern District Health, Work and Income, Age Concern, local GPs, pharmacists and more.

Mana-Wā Symposium

A Mana-Wā Rangatahi Symposium was held in Ōtautahi in August at Haeata Community Campus. Hosted by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu the event was developed as a platform for rangatahi to come together to celebrate wellbeing and share expressions of mana. Rangatahi were given the opportunity to participate in contemporary and traditional activities and explore the concept of mana to lead them into the future. The mau rākau training was a particular highlight as was Māui Media and Ariki Creative. Other highlights included taonga puoro, waiata, nail artistry, the barber boys, basketball and guest speakers. The workshops were designed to stimulate creativity and the unlimited potential of rangatahi. Presenter Jordon Tuhura said at the summit, “In times of trial, we test the strength of our character so when adversity appears, that’s when we let our mana be expressed”. It was a simple glimpse of hope that epitomised the wellspring of positivity Mana-Wā gave rise to. Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu is a Commissioning Agency that works on behalf of the iwi in the South Island to support and enable whānau to create sustained social impact. We do this by developing and investing in ideas and initiatives to improve outcomes for Māori, underpinned by whānau-centred principles and strategies. Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu also invests in navigator roles to support and build whānau capability. Visit www.teputahitanga.org to find out more.

“In this project we are working collaboratively and from the students’ interests and goals. We were able to help students plan for their success and give some tips to ready them for when they leave school. This helps to strengthen their education outcomes now.”

Tokona Te Raki has partnered with Industry Training Organisations (ITO) Skills, Competenz, Connexis, and BCITO to offer tauira, kura, whānau and communities the chance to engage in free, high quality, interactive, career focused events with the overall outcome to achieve Māori success in education and employment. Many young Māori leave our school system without the education they deserve, limiting their future options, income and opportunities.

Teachers from Greymouth High were impressed with the impact the day had on the students and the options they have for training. The school has asked the Māori Job Squad to come back more regularly. We also mihi to our key partners BCITO, Skills, Competenz and Connexis, and also to our wider Tokona Te Raki team for the continued support and encouragement as we build and grow to provide our whānau with the futures they deserve. Think the MJS could help in your community? Get in touch with us today! Check out our page to enter the Merch Giveaway Comp!

Our goal is to achieve equitable education, employment and income levels for all Māori in the Ngāi Tahu takiwā by 2040. We have had an exciting last few weeks with our MJS rōpū hitting the road twice. On 9 August, along with Navigators and Kaitoko Mātauranga, we attended the ARA Expo in Kaikōura, where youth, community, workforce, strategy and reo Māori were combined in a fantastic effort to give our Kaikōura whānau the tools, resources and network connections needed to engage in successful future career outcomes.

We then hit the West Coast to hold our kura, whānau, community events, and employers’ breakfast. A big mihi to Greymouth High and Te Tai Poutini Polytech for their manaaki. We spoke with employers, tauria and whānau about the future of work and key skills and qualifications needed to create better economic and social outcomes for Māori. Project Sponsor, Kym Hamilton of Tokona te Raki, said “It was an awesome opportunity to share the regional skills forecast for employment and sector growth with people from councils and local businesses and to understand their challenges in thinking about workforce growth and succession.” Ariana Te Whetu, Project Manager for He Toki said “the chance to wok one-on-one with students to provide support and guidance was more useful for them than a career expo where everyone is trying to recruit competitively.

Ngāi Tahu Nohoanga Connect with the lands of your tīpuna

Nohoanga sites give all Ngāi Tahu whānui the opportunity to experience the whenua as our tīpuna did - to rekindle the traditional practices of gathering food, other natural resources and be close to the land.

What is a Nohoanga site?

Newly available site at Okarito Lagoon/River

Under the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, Nohoanga sites are specific areas of Crown-owned land next to lakeshores or riverbanks, which can be used for gathering food and other natural resources or camping by Ngāi Tahu Whānui.

Location

Ōkārito, West Coast, 20km north of Franz Josef.

Physical description

Large, relatively flat and open grassed space.

Under the Act, we have temporary, but exclusive, rights to occupy these sites between the middle of August and the end of April each year. There are 72 allocated nohoanga sites within Te Waipounamu, but not all of these sites are available for use.

Vehicle access

All vehicle access to the site, but land may be boggy after prolonged rainfall.

Facilities and services

Using Nohoanga

There are no facilities on site, but public toilets are nearby, as well as serviced showers, water and BBQ. Walking tracks, historic sites, a kayak operator and nature tours are all in the area. There is minimal cell phone reception.

For fairness and environmental reasons, the use of nohoanga sites are permitted by the office of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Bookings can be made by contacting Sophie McGregor via the contact details at the bottom of the page - at least TEN working days before you wish to use a nohoanga site. We are currently building an online booking system.

Hazards The site is prone to flooding at times and there is an airstrip next to this nohoanga site.

Site restrictions

Available for use from mid-August 2018

No domestic animals (including pets) are permitted on this nohoanga site. Fire restrictions may apply to this area. For

These sites are not established camping sites – access and facilities vary, with many requiring that you bring your own toilet and shower facilities and drinking water. Cell coverage is also mostly limited – but it is free and it is exclusively for the use of Ngāi Tahu. Some sites also allow hunting or dogs to accompany you and your family.

*There are many other Nohoanga sites also available for use over the next six months. Please enquire for more details or a list of available sites.
