I’m sure you will all join me in welcoming the warmer weather of Spring. With this year’s winter behind us, I look forward to seeing what the rest of the year will bring.

In mid-August we started the Ngāi Tahu Road Shows, holding the first hui in Hamilton. It was great to see a good turnout of whānau and it

was a pleasure to meet new whānau members attending their first Ngāi Tahu hui.

While we were in Hamilton for the Road Show we also had the opportunity to meet and engage with Tainui Group Holdings and the Waikato Raupatu River Trust. We spent the day networking, sharing information and learning more about the direction Waikato-Tainui is taking. It was a very informative hui and I appreciate the openness and manaakitanga that is extended to us every time we visit.

On 26-27 September we will be taking the Road Shows to Sydney and Brisbane. I am looking forward to meeting our whānau living in Australia and sharing with them our annual results and plans for the future.

I’m enjoying watching our Māori Trade Training programme, He Toki ki te Rika grow and flourish.

We recently held the second Scholarship Evening for 2015 at Te Puna Wānaka for 40 young Māori and Pasifika students. The on-going challenge I put out to these students

Kaikōura fashion show

Then I made Waipunarangi using the pokinikini method. It represents the treasures of Papatūānuku and the rhythm of the seasons where Matariki signals the new year. Both of these were made in the month leading up to the show.

Karen Starkey was named the overall winner at the Kaikōura Matariki fashion show in late June. Here is a small kōrero from her.

The taonga was a moemoeā (dream) to make, using traditional processes with a modern and contemporary twist.

My mother, Lexie Starkey made the taonga I call, Mana Tāne from fibre and feathers for the opening of Ōmaka Marae. This was a very long process and it was a dream that her whānau would continue this mahi. This was the traditional taonga that lead us from the old to the new as per the whakaaro of Matariki that I believe in.

The contemporary korowai, Ki Uta Ki Tai was made in 2010 for the graduation of Hapuka School in Kaikōura.

There is beading along the top of korowai and the outlines of the mountains to the sea. The pictures of birds represent birds from around Hapuka and Mangamaunu with a strip of pāua at the bottom as the kai that sustained our tīpuna. I also put in a row of the little blue penguins representing South Bay where my father was as a child.

I started with Whakaareare Mai to clear my thoughts and ideas. This was made using the hapine method but due to time constraints I used modern dyes. The colours I used were gold and blue representing night and day of Matariki rising and the morning.

I would like to give thanks to my mother and Ngaire Kingi for her tautoko and patience as we worked through the making of the taonga; the organisers of the show, the judges, sponsors and Whale Watch for the prize that I won. Thank you all. Nā Karen Starkey.

Takahanga Marae news

Kaikōura Integrated Health Centre blessing On 15 August, rūnanga members and the Kaikōura community attended the blessing of the Kaikōura Integrated Health Centre.

protection of all who use the facility from now into the future.”

Prior to the first stages of the excavation, talks had begun with our environmental coordinator, Raewyn Solomon, who responded to their resource consent.

Michael Trotter (archaeologist) along with Amelia Taylor (cultural monitor) attended the site during the first excavation period a year ago.

Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura were asked to gift a name for the new facility and it was agreed that the name would be, Te Hā o Te Ora. Te Hā talks about aroha, the essence of a person, or their whole being. Ora talks about wellbeing, which is the essence of health itself. The name also has added meaning gleaned from the legend of Māui, who is said to have stood with his foot on the peninsula to draw breath (Te Hā) before he fished up the North Island.

The rūnanga will contribute art work for the whānau room as well as a cultural gateway. The hospital and Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura had to upgrade the power supply which worked well with the timing of our new wharekai.

The rūnanga also gave the contractors permission to use our driveway for access to the site.

Te Rūnanga o Kaikōura member, Raewyn Solomon says the gifting of the name is important. The whole site is of cultural significance because it is part of the original pā site of Takahanga.

“In addition to gifting the name, Brett Cowan blessed the Kaikōura health centre, Te Hā o Te Ora to ensure the

The new facility will be great for Kaikōura and although the old hospital holds many memories for whānau, we all look forward to the new hospital that will have breath-taking views from the mountains to the sea.

Board field trip

late 2013, allowing all-tide access across the Richardson Stream. The bridge has been built to reflect the design of a waka. It’s a wonderful example of working together with mana whenua to incorporate symbolic elements into the park infrastructure.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu representatives, Gina Solomon and Amelia Taylor attended the Nelson/Marlborough Conservation board hui which was followed by a field trip to the Abel Tasman National Park.

We took a boat to the park from Kaiteriteri Beach and stayed overnight at the Anchorage Hut, a spacious 34 bunk hut built in 2013.

Minister Nick Smith attended our board meeting in Motueka and Minister Nicky Wagner attended the field trip with the Nelson/Marlborough DoC board.

One of the Department of Conservation (DoC) support staff talked about ‘good nature’ – 24 self-resetting traps that are being used by Project Janszoon and Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust to control rats. Each gaspowered trap will reset itself up to 24 times.

One morning we walked along the golden beach at Anchorage to see where Motueka High School students have planted a range of dune species for dune restoration.

Another boat ride and walk brought us to Onetahuti Bridge. This bridge and boardwalk were completed in

Keeping te reo alive

One of our education pou leaders, Rawiri Manawatu has been successfully holding weekly te reo classes at the marae.

Rawiri has a humble and encouraging approach when teaching, which is reflected in the positive feedback from the participants who have been attending the classes.

Ka mau te wehi Rawiri.

Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei – For us, and our children after us.

We are proud of Rawiri’s achievements and his drive and passion to keep the language alive. He has a strong rōpū of 35 people who have been attending ranging from pēpi to rangatahi and pakeke to kaumātua.

Fusion wānanga

The Whitebait Connection (WBC) is a non-profit action based community conservation education programme offering concrete and specific ways in which all New Zealanders can come to understand and be involved in the future health of our local streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands.

We had another very successful fusion wānanga on 1417 April. A total of 34 tamariki along with our kaiako, Miriama White and Shanita Mason also not forgetting our kaimahi Nelly Mason, Te Rua Mason, Caleb Robinson, Hamiria Hutana made our wānanga all the more successful.

Our tamariki really enjoyed the week learning more about the biodiversity of our waterways. We also had the pleasure of having Sampson Karst from Manu Media come along to help us document our week with a video of the week for our tamariki to deliver to our whānau on their performance day.

We had the pleasure of welcoming the Department of Conservation and the Whitebait Connection Programme group to our wānanga for the week.

Our tamariki loved getting involved at the fusion wānanga.

Te Rūnanga o Makaawhio Kāi Tahu whānui, tēnā koutou katoa. Nei rā te mihi o Kāti Māhaki ki Makaawhio ki a koutou katoa.

Tēnā anō tātou katoa, the weather hasn’t changed much here on Poutini, with lots of rain, wintery blasts and just enough fine, warm days to ensure no one goes stir crazy.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Dennis and Robert Kihi-Forsyth who have been selected for the West Coast U14 rugby representative team.

They have already played two games in the red and white jersey, with a loss to Buller and a win against Nelson Bays. The team have four more games to go. Ka pai kōrua.

Congratulations also to Dennise Robinson on her selection to participate in the Arsenal Football Club Gap Year Programme.

Dennis (right) and Robert.

This is a huge opportunity for Dennise, who is a year and half into her Bachelor of Sports Coaching degree at the University of Canterbury.

She was selected out of thousands of applicants who apply internationally each year for this programme.

Arsenal are one of the biggest football clubs in the world with over 100 million fans worldwide.

Dennise will go to Arsenal to learn and develop her coaching knowledge for five months, before being sent abroad to one of their partners to help develop football in that country. Examples of the countries involved are South Africa, Greece, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Israel.

Dennise with one of her teams.

The programme is not a paid one and Dennise will need to find a substantial amount of pūtea to cover the first two stages of the three-stage programme. It not only fits perfectly with her aspiration and future career goal of

coaching at a national level, but is an opportunity too good to pass up. Karawhiua e te kōhine.

Land blessing

Land preparation and construction will commence soon.

The sound of karakia and hīmene filled the morning air at Leeston on Saturday 29 August. Led by Matua Henare Edwards, a small delegation of Taumutu kaumātua joined Mayor Coe and the Leeston community to bless the vacant land on Flannery Street.

The land is destined to be used for the Leeston Vintage Village, a 14-bedroom social housing unit for the elderly – a much needed facility for the community.

Gentle rain fell while we sang the hīmene and Mayor Coe, Uncle Pat and others took turns to dig and turn the first sod. It was a special moment.

Uncle Pat, Mayor Coe and Matua Henare Edwards.

Taonga blessing

On Tuesday 4 August, whānau were privileged to attend the blessing of four taonga toi at The Hub (Hornby Mall, Christchurch). The large murals were created by Te Mairiki Williams and are hung on the external walls of the mall. This is a first for any mall complex throughout Aotearoa.

These taonga are a testament to Te Mairiki’s impressive creative talent and a true reflection of his dignity, grace and humility.

Te Mairiki is of Ngāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Te Ātihaunui-a-Pāpārangi, Ngāti Hauiti ki Rata, Waitaha and Ngāti Uenuku descent.

The taonga are named, Tāne-nui-a-Rangi, Muka tangata, Tū toka Tū Ariki and Tū Whakaiti Tū Rangatira. The fifth and final mural, Te Kete Ika will be hung in the coming weeks.

Te Kete Ika – the food baskets of well-being.

I was fortunate enough to be chosen for a mission to Stanford University. I accepted the challenge to go and represent my iwi at this prestigous whare of knowledge.

On 2 May. What an adrenahlin rush. It was a rough flight, a full 12 hours of shaking, from Auckland to San Francisco. Liz Cunningham and Joanne Mclean had a sleepless flight too. Luckily I had made a special visit to my hāhi Hēpara Pai prior to flying – this relieved some of my anxiety to ensure that I would return home to my whānau safe and well.

The architecture of well-being in an organisation is crucial to enhancing cultural significance. My mahi and commitment to my tribe has allowed for me to have a strong connection to culture and identity, enhancing a full whānau centred approach and sharing these new skills will be rewarding.

I hadn’t travelled past Australia, so I found going through American international customs an intimidating experience. I heard a voice say, “Shoes off, jackets off, belts off, eyes straight looking forward, all ten fingers in the printed area, arms up behind the head, (in an arrested position),” and then a full internal and external body scan is sychronised through a monitoring machine – it was scary. “Move forward mam,” said the intimdating customs security officer with loaded guns and dogs at his side. It wasn’t the most calming entry to San Francisco.

Being passionate about your mahi makes a difference in how you approach your day-to-day routine. This also effects your performance from the beginning to the end of a day and is dependent on you as a person, your environment, how you work to get results – strong impacts and high outcomes.

Mahi kāinga and preparation of academic readings needed to be completed, I was expected to be 100% focused, my brain switched on, Vania Pirini – Ko Ngāi Tahu te iwi – Stanford University bring it on.

The voyage of regaining our land, water and mahinga kai, I praise my tūpuna Uncle Joe Waaka, Aunty Kera Brown and Uncle Jacko Reihana. Acknowledging these profound Arowhenua/Ngāi Tahu tūpuna through this Arowhenua era, has left a legacy of identity and is an example of how I want to paddle my waka of success for my iwi. Nā Vania Pirini.

Acknowledging Aoraki and where you are from is an identity statement that is embedded in my outlook of life. Whatever I do and wherever I go with my professional movements, these attributes are key.

The content of the programme was delivered by professors who had a high calibre of expertise from negotiating techniques, reaffirmation of organisational movements, high and low powerplays, design thinking, transparent accountability, leadership accuracy, the

The group of women who travelled to Stanford to be a part of the leaders’ programme.

10 year anniversary

Te Kupeka Umaka Māori ki Araiteuru (KUMA) the OtagoSouthland Māori business network, celebrated its 10th year anniversary on 22 August.

In between, there were inspiring presentations from Lisa Tamati, well-known ultra-distance runner and entrepreneur, Danny Watson of Māori Bay Honey, Ian Taylor of Animation Research and Tā Tipene O’Regan who has been a long-time supporter of KUMA.

A number of rūnaka members have been involved with KUMA over the years, including Tama and Joy Smith, Phil and Jeffrey Broughton, Tom Duff, Rebecca Parata, Katharina Ruckstuhl, Suzanne Ellison and Suzanne Spencer.

Congratulations KUMA, we are looking forward to the next 10 years. Nā, Katharina Ruckstuhl.

The 10th anniversary was an opportunity to reflect on the journey to this point and to remember those whose drive and passion initiated KUMA – Suzanne Spencer, Rosalie Williams and Phil Broughton – as well as looking to the future, with a presentation on the new-look website from KUMA web designers, Maui Studios.

Exhibition opening

Kāti Huirapa Upoko, David Ellison, was the opening speaker at an exhibition of Sir F Truby King’s books at the University of Otago’s Hocken Library.

Sir Truby, famous for his championing of children’s health through the Plunket Society, was a long-time resident of Karitāne, having had a holiday house there. David, who had a personal relationship with Sir Truby through his father, Mutu (the first Plunket baby), spoke movingly of the admiration that the Ellison whānau had for Sir Truby’s work and for the man himself.

Snowboarding action

This allowed Kolben to build close connections and relationships with people like Mahi. He is currently living back in Alaska. During the year Kolben and Mahi hiked around mountains in Alaska and built jumps and took promo photos. In the latest Manual Magazine (which is a NZ skate surf snowboard magazine) there’s a bunch of those photos and an interview with Mahi. When Mahi is not snowboarding he likes to try his hand at carving. We wish Mahi every success.

Mahi Mains, our snowboarding extraordinaire hails from the Timoti and Hariata Robertson lineage. His mother is Kiri Mains and his grandmother Ann has assisted with this feature. On his father Tony Price’s side, Mahi hails from the Wesley lineage. His brother is Abraham Mains who we may feature in the future.

Mahi started snowboarding at the age of 13 and when he turned 16 he left school and travelled around the world following the winter seasons to in USA, Canada, Korea and Japan.

Every year he returns to Queenstown to save money and snowboard on the beautiful mountains around New Zealand. To pay his way he worked laying concrete and tuning snowboards.

Mahi has won a few competitions over the years and does a lot of photo shoots and filming. Last season he travelled to Alaska where he met up with his good friend, Kolben Saetre, who was born and raised in Alaska and then moved to NZ when he left school.

Noho marae for students

One of the bookings at the marae this month was Te Rangatahi o te Moana – year 11 marine biology high school students.

The noho marae was sponsored by Toni Evans who also doubled as top chef.

This was a five-day wānanga run by the University of Otago with staff including Zoe Bristowe and Dr Joanne Baxter.

The students were split into four groups and studied benthic, oceanography, sharks and plankton. Three nights were spent on Quarantine Island and three days out on the Polaris II, which is based at the Portobello Marine Laboratory and skippered by Bill Dickson. They also spent a night (two days) in wānanga at Ōtākou. Our photos show the final wānanga in Tamatea with students making their presentations that were based on the past four-days findings.

Parents, staff and peers listen and watch one of the presentations.

Waihōpai Rūnaka Kia ora koutou, time is flying and it’s spring now – yeah it’s time to spring clean, not for me though.

Kapa haka kids in Invercargill were awesome at the Hautonga competition and the Polyfest Festival – well done to you all.

We’ve had hui on at the marae: local schools kapa haka practice for the Hautonga competition. South Otago School had a noho marae and they were all very good to have on the marae. Police, housing and also the wharekai redevelopment project that’s being led well by Raewynne Evans; and we are getting into the exciting part of it now.

Happy birthday to all those young and old who had a birthday in August. I hope you all had a great day; and not forgetting all the new pēpi who have graced our whānau – congratulations to you all. And to those ones who have just found out they are having a baby awesome whānau.

We had a combined Otago and Murihiku meeting in Queenstown, and come the day of the meeting I ended up in the hospital. I missed everything, not good at all but we drove home the next day, we were straight to the hospital and I was there for eight hours. Talk about getting asthma at the wrong time, jeez.

Well that’s it from me. Whānau, wherever you may be take care of yourselves, give your whānau big hugs when they are not expecting it to show them how much you love them. Aroha nui to you all. All the best folks until next month, hei konā, Squirrel on the Hill, Waihōpai Rūnaka.

Ōraka Aparima Rūnaka Kia ora whānau, well spring has finally arrived and in the words of Anne Bradstreet, “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”

Taranaki and Wanganui. It was inspiring to listen to whānau stories and memories of this treasured mahinga kai species. It was also good to listen and share ideas on customary harvesting techniques and of course recipes.

From a management perspective the focus has been on financial planning for the forthcoming year and formulating and updating our policies and procedures.

We certainly hope the whitebaiters among you are enjoying a prosperous harvest, and to those of you who are gardeners, it’s time to get cracking as the growing season is nearly upon us. It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner.

The executive and our representatives have been busy attending different hui and servicing the external positions they hold on various boards.

had quite a few tamariki, some rangatahi as well as pakeke and kaumātua involved.

It was awesome kotahitanga with everyone working well together to produce a three person mōkihi waka and a smaller christening mōkihi.

Ngāi Tahu ki Tāmaki Makaurau

Mōkihi wānanga In early July, we were fortunate through Riki Bennett and Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland Council) to hold a mōkihi/mogi wānanga at Arataki Visitor Centre in west Auckland, as part of the Aucklandwide Matariki celebrations.

We formally gifted the larger one to Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland Council) and the Arataki Visitor Centre as a tohu of our gratitude for their awesome tautoko of the event. We carried the big waka up into the main part of the visitors centre to go on display.

This was part of the kaupapa of ‘sharing of knowledge’ and revitalisation of traditions/cultural practices of Matariki. The raupō for building the mōkihi was kindly gifted to us at the Waitangi 175th anniversary celebrations in January 2015 in Auckland, by a rōpū made up of Riki Bennett, Rewi Spraggon, Pita Turei, and Taiaha Hawke who were performing Ngā Pakiwaitara o Tamaki, Stories of Tamaki at that event. He mihi nui ki a koutou mō tēnei tautoko.

Ka nui te mihi ki Te Kawerau a Maki mō tō koutou manaakitanga ki a mātou. It meant a lot to us to have the blessing of Rewi Spraggon and the tangata whenua, Te Kawerau a Maki for this event and in general for our ongoing Ngāi Tahu events in their rohe: west Auckland and the Waitakere Ranges. Nō reira, ngā mihi nō te ngākau ki a koutou.

Papa Bones brought his usual high level of enthusiasm, knowledge and skill to teaching this kaupapa, as well as harvesting the harakeke flower stalks and leaves ready to take out on his trailer. Papa you are a continual inspiration. Acknowledgments also go out to Maha Tomo, our official photographer for the day and to Mereana Robinson-Silbery and her sister Elizabeth Robinson for working wonders in the wharekai and presenting a stunning kai for everyone for lunch.

Approximately 25 participants, around half of whom were Ngāi Tahu were involved in the learning and building process throughout the day. The wānanga began with a karakia by Papa Bones Rissetto, then relevant mihimihi (greetings/acknowledgements) by Jonathan Sargisson, followed by a waiata and everyone taking part in whakawhanaungatanga by introducing themselves with a short mihi.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou ngā kaimahi katoa. He mihi nui hoki ki Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu mō tā rātou pūtea tautoko ki tēnei kaupapa. A big thank you to Te Rūnanga and the Ngāi Tahu Fund for contributing funding towards this event. Thank you also to anyone else I may have neglected to name here who contributed either directly or indirectly towards making this wānanga a success. Nō reira, ngā mihi nui, ngā mihi nō te ngākau ki a koutou katoa. Nā Jonathan Sargisson.

Bones and Jonathan gave a brief kōrero about the historical background of mōkihi and then the skills demonstration and mahi of constructing ngā waka began.

Antony Thorpe (who studied mōkihi at university and learnt from Ngāi Tahu kaumātua including Papa Bones) and his young whānau came along to help out and we

He took time out from his attendance at Koroneihana, to help some of our whānau with their whakapapa questions at Jane Stevens whare, just down the road from Tūrangawaewae Marae.

Koroneihana week was as busy and exciting as we expected. Starting off with the Ngāi Tahu Roadshow on Tuesday held at the Te Wānanga o Aotearoa Mangakōtukutuku campus in Glenview, Hamilton.

His knowledge is invaluable and has done so much to help uplift our whānau here in the Waikato. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts Matua Terry for your ongoing support of our Taurahere rōpū.

We also attended Kawe Mate o Te Motu, to support several of our whānau taking their mate on to the marae as well as to represent and upheld the mana of Ngāi Tahu.

Lastly, we had the raranga noho. We were privileged to have Matua Terry also attend kai with us on the Friday night. He stayed on after the rest of the Ngāi Tahu contingent had returned south in the preceding day or so. He commented on the wonderful atmosphere at our noho and the great kai. His presence seemed to prompt us to talk about our various whakapapa links and helped us to weave our whakapapa kōrero beautifully into the event.

There was a good turnout for the event and I must say whānau, more numbers were thrown around than bingo night at the local RSA – auē. Luckily, we had our chiefly experts explaining what this all means for us as ordinary whānau members and they updated us on what is happening.

The lasting impression was that our iwi organisation is complex and the skills needed to keep it pointed in the right direction and growing are considerable. But our iwi organisation is in capable hands.

Next we had Matua Terry Ryan, who comes up every year for Koroneihana. He has had an association with the event since his childhood, pouring the cups of teas in Kimiora wharekai.

We have more photos on our Facebook page and if anyone wants to be on our mailing list, please send an email to kaitahu.waikato@gmail.com

We will be having a little break now but our next raranga noho will be towards the end of September.

Email us for more details. Thanks to all who attended our events over Koroneihana week. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Whakaahua Tīpuna/Whānau

Last month, this image was published on the back page of Te Pānui Rūnaka requesting that a name or information be provided about the two gentlemen we did not have names for. This photo is part of the Trevor Howse Collection in the Ngāi Tahu Archives. We would like to acknowledge and thank Les White, Tā Tipene O’Regan, John Chaffey, Rick Whaitiri and Margaret Bartells for making contact and for providing names and information.

The August back cover image.

The gentleman on the left has been identified as Wiremu Te Wera (Shorty) Whaitiri. The gentleman in the white jacket has been identified as Cyril Charles Whaitiri Apirana (Willy). Both these gentlemen were brothers and they were cousins to Bob Whaitiri.

We would still love to receive feedback from anyone who may have knowledge to add to any of the images that have been published under Whakaahua Tīpuna/ Whānau. Please do not hesitate to make contact with either Robyn Walsh or Tania Nutira, Ngāi Tahu Archives Unit on 0800 KAI TAHU (0800 524 8248). Kia ora.

There was also a submission from a caller that perhaps the gentleman in the white jacket was either Len or Fred Te Koeti.

Mokopuna reo o Arowhenua

The whānau of Mokopuna Reo o Arowhenua are also seasoned performers in the Korohi o te Pēpi section of the annual Flava Festival in Timaru and were once again well represented this year. Mokopuna Reo o Arowhenua is a past recipient of KMK Kāika Reo funding.

The puna reo – Mokopuna Reo o Arowhenua, run under the much-valued guidance of Tāua Lavinia ReihanaMoemate – has been a familiar sight at the pā of Arowhenua since 2012.

The group, which currently includes 12 tamariki and a number of dedicated mātua, meet on a regular basis at the pā and out in the local community.

Kāi Tahu reo is used whenever they are together and their activities always include karakia, waiata and pepeha – for both tamariki and mātua. According to Tāua Lavinia, “Te reo o Tahu is important for our mokopuna and mātua – to hear our dialect, our tikaka, kawa and waiata, to have a sense of belonging to Te Hapa o Niu Tireni and the wairua of the pā.”

The group’s activities are based around whanaukataka, kotahitaka and mātauraka and provide relaxed and fun environments for whānau to learn and use te reo together. As well as supporting pōwhiri at the marae, the group’s recent outings have included visits to Waimate when they hosted their cultural kapa haka competitions, to the Aigantighe Art Gallery at Timaru to support the art exhibition of Tāua Moana Tipa, and to hear pūrākau at the Temuka Library.

Mokopuna Reo o Arowhenua whānau; Tāua Lavinia, Ana Henry (front) Rona Brown, Tamatea Sheed, Otis Buckingham, Marama Harrison.

Te Wiki o te reo Māori ki Ōtepoti

whakakiteka i te Whare Taoka o Hākena mō te wiki o te reo Māori.

I te Rāhina i hui kā tauira o Te Kura Ākau Taitoka ki te whakanui i tō tātou reo Māori. I tuhi rātou i kā kupu reo Māori ki kā akomaka rā. He mihi nui ki a Kate Ellison rātou ko Kelli Te Maiharoa mā.

I te Rāapa i kanikani kā nohinohi o kā Kōhaka Reo me kā tāina o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ōtepoti. Hīkaka katoa kā tamariki me tā rātou korikori tīnana. Te ātaahua hoki o kā waiata Māori.

He mihi hoki ki a Jeanette Wikaira nāna i whakatū tētahi

Te Wiki o te reo Māori ki Ōtautahi

I te Rātū me te Rāmere i tuwhera kā tatau o te Café Reo. I whakarite wāhi mātou o KMK ki kā whare kai e rua o Ōtautahi me te tono atu ki te iwi whānui ki te haere mai ki te kai kātahi, ka rua ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.

Koira noa iho te utu kia uru atu rā ki te Café Reo, me kōrero i te reo. Nā te pai o ēnei hui, kua whakatau ka tū ēnei tū huihuika ia marama. Mō ngā whakariteka e pā ana ki kā Café Reo, tirohia te whāraki ipuraki, tā mātou pae Pukamata rānei.

Ia raki, i kauhau mai ētahi o kā tauira o Te Puna Wānaka e pā ana ki ā rātou rakahau mō te reo kātahi, ka rua, mō te mahi whakarauora reo. I te aro atu tētahi me pēhea te whai wāhi te reo i ruka i kā pahi, ka wakarereraki hoki.

Ka mutu, ko tā te kairakahau, ki te whai wāhi te reo ki ēnei tūmomo mahi, kāore e kore ka whai hua tō tātou reo. Ko te manako hoki ia, ka whai tūraka mahi ēnei tauira ki te whakamātau i ā rātou whakapae.

He tohuka whakarauora reo

Nō mātou te whiwhi i te taeka mai o Leanne Hinton ki te taha o te kāhui o KMK. Kua roa nei ia e whakatete korou kia ora anō kā reo taketake ki Amerika. I āta wānakahia e mātou ētahi o kā rautaki whakaora reo kei te whaia e tātou o KMK me ētahi o kā rautaki kei te whaia e kā tākata taketake i Amerika. Tērā pea he kaupapa hou o KMK kei te haere mai? Mātakitaki mai.

We’ve found this to be a less popular Whai Rawa deposit method than an AP form or online banking. If you have no other way to save into Whai Rawa than ‘over the counter’ at ANZ, please call us on 0800 942 472 and we can arrange a personalised deposit book, encoded with your Whai Rawa account number. Those who already use the ANZ card regularly have already been issued the deposit book, while those who don’t are encouraged to use alternative saving methods.

Annual report

Members were recently sent the Whai Rawa 2015 Annual Report. Highlights for this year include an increase in members’ savings, now at almost $44 million. Reports from the Kaiwhakahaere, Tā Mark Solomon, the outgoing chair, Diana Crossan and the incoming chair, Kristen Kohere-Soutar are worth reading. There are also more whānau stories shared by members.

Christchurch Roadshow

A series of roadshows were held over the past few months in Te Ika-a-Māui. Many thanks for those whānau who came to see us and joined Whai Rawa at Auckland, Wellington, Lower Hutt, Tauranga and Rotorua.

The 2015 annual report is now available to download on the Whai Rawa website at www.whairawa.com

We’ll be at Hui-ā-Iwi (20-22 November) in Dunedin later this year and in October we’ll be having a weekend roadshow in Christchurch to help those who haven’t joined Whai Rawa complete the paperwork. We’ll email out to all non-members based in the Canterbury area to let you know times and dates. Alternatively, if you live in New Zealand and would prefer to join up online, have your NZ Drivers Licence handy and head to www.whairawa.com/join for a copy of the Whai Rawa Investment Statement and to complete the electronic online application form.

It has been emailed to all households we have an email address for and posted to those for whom we don’t have an email address. We encourage you to discuss the report with whānau, especially tamariki and to review the highlights.

ANZ deposit card withdrawal

As you may recall, the ANZ deposit cards are being withdrawn at the end of this year.

Nohoanga

Nohoanga provides all Ngāi Tahu with an opportunity to experience the landscape as their tīpuna did, and to rekindle the traditional practices of gathering food and other natural resources.

Available for use – Waikaia River (Piano Flat), Southland Location This nohoanga site is situated about one and a half hours drive north-west of Gore Township.

The term ‘nohoanga’ (literally meaning a place to sit) traditionally refers to the seasonal occupation sites which were an integral part of the mobile lifestyle of Ngāi Tahu whānui as they moved around Te Waipounamu (the South Island) in pursuit of food and other natural resources.

From State Highway 94, turn off at Riversdale-Waikaia Road and travel north past Waikaia township, past Glenary Station and into the Waikaia (Piano Flat) recreation area.

This traditional concept has been given contemporary effect as a result of the Settlement of the Ngāi Tahu Claim through the allocation of specific ‘camping’ sites to support mahinga kai activities.

The nohoanga site is situated on the right hand side of the road and backs onto the last private hut in the recreational area. Directly across the road from the nohoanga is a Department of Conservation camping area and further up the road is a childrens play area.

Under the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, nohoanga sites are specific areas of Crown owned land adjacent to lakeshores or riverbanks, which can be used to facilitate the gathering of food and other natural resources by Ngāi Tahu whānui. They are usually one hectare in size.

Physical description The nohoanga is situated on a hill overlooking the Waikaia River just off the Waikaia road. The site is mostly sloped, with steeper slopes towards the back of the site. There are a few flat areas for camping.

Ngāi Tahu whānui (tribal members) have temporary but exclusive rights to occupy these sites between the middle of August and the end of April each year.

The nohoanga is covered in grass and is well sheltered by beech forest. The site is situated beside a private hut. This nohoanga site has excellent two wheel drive vehicle access to the site.

There are 72 allocated nohoanga sites within Te Waipounamu. Not all of these sites are available for use.

Please contact 0800 NOHOANGA (0800 664 62642), nohoanga@ngaitahu.iwi.nz; or visit our website www. ngaitahu.iwi.nz for more information.

Access onto the site itself is by foot only, therefore the site would be unsuitable for caravans or campervans.

Procedure for Use of Nohoanga Nohoanga are for the exclusive use of Ngäi Tahu whānui. For fairness and environmental reasons, the use of nohoanga sites is by authorisation only, and administered by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. See below for procedure for authorisation.

1. Contact Sophie McGregor on 0800 nohoanga (0800 664-62642) or nohoanga@ngaitahu.iwi. nz at least 10 working days before you wish to use a nohoanga site.

2. Provide basic details (name, address, contact numbers, vehicle registration number, and number of people you wish to take etc).

3. NB – random checks will be done to ensure both those applying for authorisation are entitled to do so, and that past use has been consistent with the conditions of the authorisation.

Nohoanga site users can park their vehicles on the flat area, immediately adjacent to the site. Such parking shall not inhibit access for other members of the public or be parked in an obvious camping site.

Waipara River (Township) – North Canterbury Location The Waipara nohoanga site is situated approximately one hour north of Christchurch. Travelling north on State Highway 1, turn off at Waipara Township onto SH7 (the inland route to Hanmer Springs), travel about half a kilometre and turn left into Barnett’s Road. The site is at the end of Barnett’s Road in amongst the willows.

Users cannot, however, tap either the water race or pipes carrying the water. Nohoanga users may use the nearby public toilet facilities.

Physical description The nohoanga is situated beside the Waipara River.

The site is large, flat and well sheltered, providing an excellent camping area. It has excellent vehicle access and is suitable for both caravans and campervans.

There are numerous vehicle tracks through the site and plenty of space for parking vehicles.

A park bench is located in close proximity to the site, across the other side of the Waikaia Road. The site has a large field nearby and a children’s play area with swings and slides etc. There is no cell phone reception.

All rubbish and waste must be removed by users before departing Waikaia River (Piano Flat) nohoanga.

Facilities and services This site has no facilities or services. Nohoanga site users will be required to hire portable toilets and are required to bring their own water supplies (a minimum of 10 litres per day for every person on the site). All rubbish and waste must be removed by users before leaving the site. See key contacts below for details of refuse and dumping stations.

There are numerous old shafts associated with gold mining/prospecting throughout the wider area of the Waikaia River (Piano Flat) nohoanga site. There are known shafts up behind the nohoanga site, adjacent to the public access walk. Caution and care needs to be taken when walking around the bush area.

Art work for Te Pānui Rūnaka

If you would like your artwork to be considered, simply send the images (as attached JPEG files) to tpr@ ngaitahu.iwi.nz

Will it be your artwork that features on the next cover of Te Pānui Rūnaka?

Each issue, we showcase a piece of artwork created by a Ngāi Tahu artist.

We look forward to receiving all your artwork, whānau.

While we already have an existing collection, we would like to add to it and ask that whānau send in their artwork. A submission should include a good quality photograph of a painting, sculpture, or a drawing – the options are endless.

Each year we publish 11 issues of the magazine, so we cannot guarantee that each and every piece will be used. However we will endeavour to use artwork from as many rūnanga, as we can.

The end of the year is fast approaching and we are already thinking of potential covers for 2016.

An example of artwork.
