Kōrero Whakataki Change

Nā Rueben Radford

As our environment and seasons alter around us, we as a society are becoming increasingly aware of the implications that change brings, especially when change occurs and it is out of our control or influence.

Change this week is within this publication, the annual Te Ao Mārama edition of Salient, an edition dedicated to the revitalisation of te reo Māori and also a chance to see a more committed shift in understanding tauira Māori here at Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui (Victoria University).

A focus of this year’s Te Ao Marama is a reflection upon the past and how we as ‘Māori’ are situating ourselves within ever changing domestic situations and also on a larger international scale, as we a people move toward a brighter future. Unlike previous years where Te Ao Marama is published during Te Wiki o te Reo, the national Māori Language Week run by Te Taura Whiri (Māori Language Commission), this year dates were changed to accommodate the ever looming Rugby World Cup, pushing it back a couple weeks to 4th – 10th July, outside of University dates. The choice was made to continue the tradition of having an annual edition of Te Ao Marama, and also a shift toward choosing our own theme, rather than that established by Te Taura Whiri.

Since the first edition of Te Ao Marama in 1997 there has been much resistance toward allowing Māori students at an educational establishment much like Victoria University to display a sense of cultural pride. Year after year following Te Ao Marama, letters to Salient have been inundated with negative responses and as we as Māori try to take steps forward within an institution our freedom of speech and also our strong cultural values are scrutinised and evaluated by our somewhat educated peers and leaders of tomorrow. As academics do we not consider responses that show in depth reasoning to why it is such things as Te Ao Marama exist?

Using Christchurch as an example, and other natural events such as the recent tornadoes, we as a nation are still grappling with the aftermath of unexpected change in our landscape and also the huge altering of people’s everyday lives. With that in mind, will we see a change within our political sector as we draw closer to the general elections later this year? With the recent formation of Hone Harawira’s Mana party and all the media attention he receives will other issues leading up to the general election become overshadowed by a media stereotype of Māori that we have all become too familiar with? Will we see a shift in the way our country is run following the results? Will our landscapes and lives change, heading in a positive direction, or will we as a nation become even more complacent about our ‘bi-cultural’ unity and instead fail to address our ever growing apartheid underground cultural views?

Within these pages we hope you find insight into our culture, and although one’s comprehension may be little the purpose is to expose our language to an audience, or masses, who question its existence in today’s world. Stories from Māori graduates taking our language, our belief systems, our world views, and exposing them to international peoples within their countries are a couple of the articles this week. We also congratulate our recent Māori graduates on achieving what is statistically low and hear a personal account of a alumni who is currently on a breathtaking journey through the pacific, riding the tides that bought our tīpuna to this land centuries ago. On behalf of Ngāi Tauira we hope you enjoy this edition of Te Ao Marama and look at te reo Māori in a different light.

Te Tumuaki o Ngāi Tauira Kia hiwa rā, kia hiwa rā, kia hiwa rā ki tēnei tuku, kia hiwa rā ki tēnā tuku, kia whakatū, kia whakaho, kia mataara.

Tihei mauri ora.

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā karanga maha, tēnā koutou katoa. Ko Victor Manawatu tōku ingoa. Ko au te tumuaki o Ngāi Tauira. Anei matou te roopu tauira Māori i te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui e mihi atu ki a koutou ngā tauira, ngā kaiako, ngā kaimahi i tēnei whare wānanga. Kei te mihi, kei te mihi, kei te mihi.

Ko tāku kōrero i tēnei tau, he kōrero e pā ana ki te pōtitanga i te mutunga o tēnei tau. Ko tēnei te wā mō ngā tangata katoa o Aotearoa ki te āta whakaaro i ō tātou nei hiahia ō ētahi māngai i te paremata o Aotearoa, ahakoa he tangata whenua, ahakoa he tauiwi, ahakoa he tangata kē. I kite matou i ngā roopu e tu ana i te paremata ināianei. Ko te pāti Nahinara rātou ko te pāti Māori me te pāti ACT e mahi tahi rātou i tēnei wā. He aha te rerekē? Ki ōku nei whakaaro, kare he rerekē. Ka noho rātou ki raro i te korowai o Nahinara. Nō reira, e whai tonu ngā roopu i ngā ture o te pāti Nahinara. Kei hea ngā māngai mō ngā iwi Māori? Kei hea ngā tangata e tu ana ki te hāpaitia i ngā take Maori i te kāwanatanga? E nohopuku rātou ana.

I tērā atu o te taiapa, ko te pāti Reipa, rātou ko te pāti Kākāriki me ngā pāti iti.

He tino hiahia o te pāti Reipa ki te wini i te pōtitanga. Ko o rātou nei hoa i tēnei wā, ko te pāti Kākāriki. Engari i tērā atu tau, ka noho te pāti Reipa hei kāwanatanga mō ngā tau e iwa. Kei te aha rātou? Ka

tangohia rātou i te rangatiratanga o ngā iwi Māori ki te takutai moana. Ko rātou ngā hoa o te iwi Māori? E kī ana te pāti Reipa, āe. Engari ko tōku nei whakaaro, he ōrite te pāti Reipa ki te pāti Nahinara.

I ngā wā kua hipa ake nei kua kite mātou i te wehiwehi o te pati Maori. He pouri tēnei raruraru mō ngā iwi katoa. I tīmata te pāti Māori mai i te raruraru o te takutai moana me te harikoa o ngā iwi ki te tautoko i te pati Māori. Ma rātou ngā tangata toa mō tātou. Engari, ka huri te pāti Māori ki te taha pouri. Ka moe rātou ki ngā hoariri. Aue, taukiri e. Ko ana whakaaro te whakaaro o te pati National.

Ināianei ka kite mātou i te pāti hou.

Ko te pāti Mana. Ko te tumuaki o te pāti Mana, ko Hone Harawira nō Te Tai Tokerau. I mua o tēnei, ka noho a Hone kei raru o te korowai o te pati Māori engari he nui te raruraru mai i a te pāti Māori rātou ko Hone. Nō reira, ka noho a Hone anō i te Tai Tokerau kei raru o te korowai o Mana. Ko te kōrero o Hone ki te mahi tahi tātou ki te pāti Māori ēngari he pāpouri a Pita. Ko tana whakautu, kāo.

Koinei te whakaaro o tētahi tumuaki o te pāti Māori.

Nō reira e hoa mā, ko tāku nei whakaaro, e pīrangi koutou ki te kite tō pāti i noho i te paremata, haere ki te pōti mō to māngai me to pāti. Kei a koutou te tikanga whānau. Anei to wā ki te puta mai o whakaaro ki te kāwanatanga.

VUWSA is your students’ association and you’re entitled to expect a lot from us. We believe all students benefit significantly from an independent democratic students’ association.

The representation VUWSA provides supports and facilitates the best academic and social outcomes for all students. We’re proud of what we do to improve the student experience, decision-making, academic quality and fairness for all students at Vic. While it’s accepted not all students access every service we provide, students have told us that it is important that they are available when needed.

We engage students to ascertain what they think is or is not important in many ways. At the end of 2010 over 4000 students responded to a significant VUWSA survey with their feedback. Students rated our performance, value for money and how important they thought services were. This provided a wealth of information that has shaped our planning and work for 2011.

The student representation VUWSA provides, from individual papers, on Faculty Boards and University Council are a critical quality control mechanism, enhance decision‐making across the University.

We’re able to pull on all institutional levers on a daily basis to address issues with courses, assessment, student services, campus facilities, lecturers, hall of residences, or anything else affecting students. Despite this we cannot act on issues if we do not know about it. That is why we put so much emphasis on our Class Rep System. They are our eyes and ears across Victoria.

VUWSA speaks out when Vic thinks it’s OK not to give your grades back or when you could be affected by changes proposed to a major or a programme. We advocate in the best interests of students. We’re the only people around the table who are free to do so.

We’re the only people who are free to challenge the University without of fear of repercussion.

The work VUWSA does on behalf of students at a campus level is backed up by the New Zealand Union of Students’ Association. They are our national voice.

Bureaucrats could never do what VUWSA does.

The University cannot provide the services VUWSA does at same cost and are restricted in what they can do. This is backed up by independent research. If they did, students wouldn’t have a direct say in how their money is spent. In contrast, VUWSA is directly accountable to students and enjoys intense scrutiny by independent student media.

We also provide service to make things a bit easier. Things like our Advocate, a food bank that about 800 students will use it this year, free flu shots - that’s 3000 less people susceptible to disease in your classes this year and 5000 students will use our free bus travel this year.

If VUWSA didn’t exist, neither would Salient. It’s the (editorially independent) newspaper of VUWSA. Without it being an integral apart of VUWSA for 73 years it would never have survived. Remember Lucid? That’s because VUWSA has been the central organised student body at Vic for the past 111 years and has allowed a continuity and of support representation, student media and, events, and clubs.

A lot of what we do is highlighted in Salient, on our website and in the Executive’s work reports which can be found on our website. Feel free to email or come into the office to discuss more about what we do and what we can do for you.

Vice-Prez (Education) Bridie Hood Hello everyone, It’s not meant to be my week for the Exec column but Daniel Wilson is off debating in South Korea, so I thought I would write a few things about VUWSA and the services that we provide to students.

When you enrol to study at Vic, you automatically become a member of VUWSA. As a member of VUWSA you pay a membership subscription which helps to fund the services that we provide. The VUWSA subscription levy is set by students at a general meeting of VUWSA and is paid when you pay your course fees to the University.

I could spend this column listing the services that we provide from the VUWSA Levy, but from what a recent survey has told us is that a vast majority of students know at least the basic services that VUWSA provides. Better yet they are well utilised by a large percentage of the University. To find information about our services you can visit our website; vuwsa.org.nz – we are a lot more than bus passes and sausage sizzles.

Another big part of VUWSA’s role is looking after student representation on campus. VUWSA Executive members such as myself sit on boards and committees but VUWSA helps train other students to be effective student representatives at all levels of the University – from the lecture theatre to Academic Board. This helps to ensure academic integrity, fair decision making and an accountable University.

We are also there to offer advice and support to students who need it through our VUWSA Advocate. Whether is be advice on how to deal with a horrible landlord or issues related to your study at Vic, such as academic miscount – we are there to help you out!

400 words really isn’t enough space to go into detail about everything that we do, but PLEASE remember that we are YOUR students’ association. If you are unimpressed or don’t like something VUWSA is doing – let us know! If you love the things that we do – let us know! Students have input in everything we do – so make sure your voice is heard.

If you have any specific questions about VUWSA and/or how we operate you can give myself or the VUWSA President, Seamus Brady, an email. Or come say hi to us at the VUWSA Kelburn Offices.

Otherwise I hope you are all rested and have recovered from Re-Orientation Week!

And don’t forget you only have until the end of this week (22nd July) to withdraw from courses and get a full refund! <3 Bridie Hood

the news

Edited by Stella Blake-kelly

Events occured at NZUSA conference Stella Blake-kelly Student politicians from across New Zealand descended upon Victoria University for the New Zealand Union of Students’ Association’s (NZUSA) Annual General Meeting earlier this month.

The three-day conference saw workshops, lectures and the passing of a change document that will radically alter the structure and direction of the organisation.

The report of recommendations, titled ‘Redefining our National Voice’, was unanimously accepted by the NZUSA Federation Executive. It outlines proposed changes to the structure, governance and staffing of NZUSA, as well as exploring paths it will take in future to achieve its goals.

Brashed

Off About Student Debt Elle Hunt ACT Party leader Don Brash took advantage of Re-Orientation to make a bid for the student vote last week.

Dr Brash spoke at VUWSA’s Mid-Winter Feast about how ACT would tackle the issues facing students if it reaches the five percent vote threshold to remain in Parliament after the November election.

Although the Greens have prioritised targeting record levels of student debt as an election issue, Dr Brash said his personal view was that taxpayers supported students too much.

“I opposed the abolition of interest on student loans because that raised the level of subsidy very high indeed, so I’m not advocating additional subsidy,” Dr Brash told Salient.

“I’m not surprised [student debt is] so high, because if you offer tertiary students interest-free money, they will take it. And if they aren’t bright enough to take it, then they shouldn’t be in a tertiary institution.”

A number of politicians, including ACT MP Heather Roy, made an appearance on campus last week, highlighting the importance of the student vote to politicians.

Dr Brash acknowledged that public perception was that ACT was “very much a man’s party”, and said that ACT on Campus leader Peter McCaffrey’s role on the party board would help to increase support amongst youth and women.

Major changes include changing the governance of the union from two co-presidents to one president, supported by two vice-presidents.

When pressed as to if and when McCaffrey was destined for leadership of the party, Dr Brash said that there was “no age discrimination in the ACT Party”.

Incumbent co-president Max Hardy says he is “excited about the ability to transform NZUSA.

“I’m not planning to roll Don any time soon,” quipped McCaffrey.

“We think we’ll be much better off for it. Much more influential as a national student organisation, and much more able to engage with students directly.”

VUWSA President Seamus Brady was also supportive of the changes.

“VUWSA is 100 per cent behind NZUSA’s moves to be a more relevant, responsive and professional national body.

“NZUSA has achieved a lot for students in its 82-year history and we’re excited about the opportunities that it will afford VUWSA and Victoria Students going into the future.”

More in-depth coverage of the restructuring of NZUSA will appear in next week’s Salient.

Dr Brash himself took over leadership of the party from Rodney Hide in a rapid coup earlier this year.

Daddy, I want my grades NOW! natalie powlesland

Many Victoria students were left frustrated as they began Trimester Two without knowing their final grades for Trimester One courses.

Salient has heard from students in BMSC/BIOL 349 whose course grades were not posted until the evening of 11 of July, the first Monday of the trimester. Others, in LAWS 308 and PHYS 132, were still waiting for their grades on Tuesday.

This delay breaks University policy which states course grades must be returned by “the Wednesday prior to Tri 2.”

“It's not affecting me majorly, as it was just an interest paper, but it's still really frustrating. The Uni haven't told me anything,” one affected student told Salient.

“It'd be interesting to know whether cost cutbacks have had anything to do with reducing the number of people involved with the marking process and if that has anything to do with it,” he continues.

VUWSA President Seamus Brady is similarly frustrated with the delayed return of grades.

Money vs Freedom Astrid Gjerde An international study by Victoria University has revealed that freedom and personal autonomy are more important to a person’s well-being than money.

Dr Ron Fischer from the School of Psychology and Dr Diana Boer from the Centre of Applied Cross-cultural Research conducted the study to find out whether subjects felt that having money or a strong degree of independence and choice was more significant to their happiness.

“Across all three studies and four data sets, we observed a very consistent and robust finding that societal values of individualism were the best predictors of well-being,” Dr Fischer said. “Money leads to autonomy, but it does not add to well-being or happiness.’

Using psychological tests, the study looked at a sample of 420,599 people from 63 countries over 40 years.

“The University have broken their policy which is very disappointing - the deadline for posting course grades was July 6 at 5pm.”

Student Job Search campus offices look likely to become a thing of the past, due to a proposal from the senior leadership team, which would see it become more online focused. This would force the closure of all regional offices, replacing them with a central Wellington call centre.

Pam Thorburn, Director Student Academic Services, urges students to contact their faculty if they have still not received their grades.

Though staff at SJS have been told nothing has been finalised, all staff are on fixed term contracts which finish in September.

“Currently enrolled students have until the end of the second week of trimester to add or drop courses. If any student still doesn’t have their grades they should contact their faculty office immediately,” says Thorburn.

Dunedin Regional Service Delivery Leader, Suzanne Te Au, believes this is when the proposal will be implemented. Te Au has been critical of the idea, saying “the heart and soul of Student Job Search is being usurped.”

VUWSA are also taking an active role in solving the problem.

“Student Job Search was set up by students for students, it doesn’t cost anything and is a very valuable service.”

“We’re working with Assistant Vice-Chancellor (Academic) in resolving cases we’re already aware of,” says Brady.

Brady also urges those affected to get in touch with VUWSA.

While the leadership team is currently consulting staff and others affected by the decision, there are fears among staff that the decision to implement the proposal has already been made.

“I urge any students who have experienced delays in getting their grades back, to get in touch with VUWSA directly. That way we can take these concerns directly to the University and sort them out.”

Student Job Search currently completes 26,000 job placements each year. Over the mid-term break, the Kelburn office was relocated from Mount Street to the Student Union Building.

TVNZ

heads into unchartered waters Adam Poulopoulos

The TVNZ charter was eradicated in Parliament last Tuesday, as the TVNZ amendment bill passed by a vote of 64 to 56. This signals the end of its obligations to broadcast a set quota of New Zealand-made programming.

The criteria included broadcasting a TV line-up that promoted understanding of the diverse cultural background in New Zealand, while also featuring a significant Maori voice and New Zealand-produced programmes. In exchange for televising commercially unviable programming, TVNZ received $15million from the Government.

The charter’s demise has polarised opinion within Parliament. Broadcasting Minister Jonathan Coleman believes the change to programming will be negligible.

“The removal of the charter will have little impact on what is shown on the screen. TVNZ will still screen content of relevance to a broad cross section of New Zealanders” he said. Coleman also stressed the opportunity TVNZ now has to focus solely on achieving their commercial goals.

On the other side of the House, Labour has been joined by the Greens in opposing the bill. Clare Curran, Labour’s broadcasting spokesperson, called the abolition “a huge shame for New Zealand.”

“Public service television in New Zealand died last night. The Government has failed to see the need and importance of state media” she said.

The charter was first established under Helen Clark’s leadership in 2003 and was subject to a review process when National took over. National abandoned the review and has had plans to abolish the charter since 2009.

Graduate Longitudinal Study Ian Walsh

Students wondering whether their investment of time and money at university is worthwhile will be pleased to know that a comprehensive study to see how tertiary education ultimately impacts graduates’ lives is about to commence.

Organised by Otago University, the Graduate Longitudinal Study of New Zealand will see about 14,000 final-year students from New Zealand’s eight universities complete online surveys over the next decade. The first as they leave university, followed by subsequent questionnaires two, five and then 10 years later.

The research is being lead by Professor Richie Poulton of the National Centre for Lifecourse Research. He says "we will learn a great deal about how their lives unfold. For instance, how careers develop, the university-related influences which have the greatest impact on employment success, when they begin to have families, where they live, the state of their finances, their health and their social relationships.”

It is also hoped the study will provide information on the less tangible aspects of post-university life, such as “how their values, attitudes and behaviours evolve over time, and what contribution to broader society they make.”

The study may unlock answers about whether a university education is as useful in gaining employment as it once was, in an information age where Wikipedia could provide a student with a better understanding of New Zealand Politics than POLS 111.

A baseline report outlining the results of the initial survey will be released in February next year.

Shock! Horror!

Kiwi Females are having “the sex”!

Nicola Wood

A Timaru gynecologist is calling for a “nana revolution” to “stigmatise promiscuity” in New Zealand.

Dr Albert Makary told a recent Family First conference that New Zealand women are “too promiscuous” and treat sex like “paddock-mating”.

“We need to stigmatise this behaviour, the same way we stigmatise littering in the street,” he said in his speech.

His presentation was in response to statistics from a survey by condom manufacturer Durex showing Kiwi women have an average of 20.3 sexual partners over their lifetime. The same survey reveals Kiwi men have roughly 16.8 sexual partners, twice the world average of 7.3 – however the Dr Makary's concern is for young women in particular.

He noted the large number of pregnant patients he sees in his medical practice who can’t remember who they slept with the night before. “It is very, very frequent,” he said.

Although Dr Makary's concern results from things he has seen in his gynecological practice, he cited the focus on safe sex in sexual education in schools as one of the causes of the problem as it “implies sleeping around is okay as long as you're wearing the right gear.”

VUWSA Women's Officer Necia Johnson says there is nothing wrong with promiscuity.

“People should be able to do what they like as long as they are safe,” she says.

“Education about safe sex is really important. I don't really understand why he thinks teaching about contraception is bad if he's a doctor.”

Gettin’ Heavy with the Levy Natalie Powlesland

Students are being encouraged to share their views on a likely increase to the Student Services Levy in 2012.

The University released a consult-ation document last month that recommends the Levy increase by four per cent in 2012 to cover increased operating costs.

A four per cent increase would see the Levy rise from $522 in 2011 to approximately $542 in 2012. Expenditure on student services (excluding the Levy) are expected to rise to around $9,000,028 in 2012.

The increased cost of running the Student Health and Counselling Services’ new facility, Mauri Ora, has been identified as a key reason for the proposed rise. Salaries for medical staff have been increased to align with the rest of the medical sector, after the 2010 Review of Student Services voiced concern over the number of medical staff finding higher paid work elsewhere.

Some services are likely to see a decrease in their contribution from the Levy. The Accommodation Service will see a reduction of 50 per cent following a review that found the service could run with less funding. Early Childhood Education Services, which runs the creche, will also see less of the Levy due to an increase in fees to parents, a decrease in staff costs, and a reduction in demand.

The proposed changes have taken into account the preliminary results of the Student Health Experience Survey, completed earlier this year. The results suggest the need for improved access to computer services, as well as a growth in demand for Student Health Services leading to longer waiting times.

The report also acknowledges the impact the introduction of Voluntary Student Membership could have on the Levy and services provided by VUWSA.

“VUWSA will continue to manage and fund the services it delivers. If in the future the Education (Freedom of Association) Amendment Bill is passed, options will be considered at the time in consultation with students,” says Pam Thorburn, Director Student Academic Services.

The final decision on the 2012 Levy will be made in September by the University Council, based on the advice of the Advisory Committee for the Student Services Levy.

Before this decision is made, students are encouraged to read the consultation document and share their views.

“Students have a strong say in how this Levy is set. This consultation is a great opportunity for students to tell the Committee if you think what's being proposed is the right decision or not,” says VUWSA President Seamus Brady.

“A number of positive changes were enacted following the student consultation and research carried out on the 2011 Levy, so I strongly encourage you to exercise your right to have your say on the 2012 Levy.”

Students can read the consultation document and place feedback on the VUWSA website.

Feedback must be given by 24 July.

The Student Services Levy was introduced in 2010 and helps pay for the delivery of student services at Victoria. Amongst others, these services include CareerHub, Financial Services, Disability Services and Student Learning Support. In 2011 the Levy increased from $510 to $522 to compensate for the increase in GST.

Why should students give you their party vote in the election?

Heather Roy, MP, ACT Party: Because students can think for themselves, and they can work out whether or not they want to belong to a students’ associations. If they feel that it’s providing value for money, they’ll sign up, but it shouldn’t be compulsory... We want to make student membership voluntary; that’s the first reason. Secondly, the really big issue that faces New Zealand at the moment is the economy. We believe that we have the recipe that will actually stimulate economic growth. The thing that we need to do... is actually make everybody better off—lift everyone’s performance. ... That’s what will allow us to be more generous to groups are more vulnerable. When students say they need more assistance with living allowances and the like, those are the sorts of things that we’ll be able to do when we have a strongly performing economy. And the third thing is that we have a strong focus on education—not just tertiary education, but education across the board... Our school choice policies will actually lift the level of education in this country, so that opportunity is greater for more New Zealanders as they go through the compulsory sector, and offer better opportunity at tertiary level.

Grant Robertson, MP, Labour Party: We have always stood up for student issues—we’re the people who brought in interest-free student loans, and we made more people eligible for student allowances, so we’ve got a good track record for students. That’s the first reason. The second reason is that we’re not going to allow a return to youth rates; in fact, we’re going to increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour so students will be better off. Third reason is we’re introducing a tax-free zone for the first $5,000 that you earn, and that will apply to students and other beneficiaries as well. But there are lots more than three reasons.

Gareth Hughes, MP, Green Party: Green’s the only party with a vision to have an economy which works for everyone. This is built on our asset, which is our people and our clean green brand. We’ve got to make that a reality; that’s the key to a prosperous economy. The Green Party loves students.

We’ve stood up for students whether it’s voluntary student membership, or cutting the student fees or open access.

Greens have been the champions for students in Parliament. And, lastly, I’ve got a private Member’s Bill in Parliament that would set a minimum warm healthy standard for rental properties. The state of student renting in flats is shocking, and students are getting sick from their houses. I’ve got a law which would make students’ homes warm, safe and healthy.

Paul Foster-Bell, MP, National Party: Look, there are more than three fantastic reasons why students should party vote National, but the top reason for students is that National is going to remove their compulsory student unionism. They’re not going to have that forced upon them.

They’re going to save that $130, or opt to join the union if they want to; it’s giving students the same human rights and choice as everyone else. That’s one great reason.

The second reason is, when you come out of university, you’re going to want to get a job: an interesting, well-paying job. And National’s building that vibrant, dynamic, growing economy that will let people move out of university and into great jobs. And a third reason is that once you’re out of university, you’re going to be reliant on the same public services as everyone else: same transport, same health, the same public services. I think that some of those services are going to be massively improved under National. ... I think those are three great reasons to party vote National.

Kua roa nei tātou te iwi Māori e whawhai ana mō te whenua, ā, kua pakaru upoko tātou ki te totohe ki ngā mahi raupatu o ngā rautau o mua.

Ko tērā hononga a tātou ki whenua, e kore e ngaro, engari, me whai whakaaro hoki ki tō tātou hononga ki te moana. Ehara i te mea me waiho ki te kohi kaimoana, ki te hī ika, ka mutu, ka hoki ki te kainga. I ngā rā o mua ko te moana me ona kawenga te ara a o tātou tipuna. Anō hoki, arā ngā mahi kimi puna hinu a te kāwanatanga me ngā kamupene pene hinu. Me pēhea tātou e tiaki, e manaaki i a Tangaroa me ana tamariki ina e kore tātou e mōhio me pēhea?

Wairua Tangata, Wairua Renetia Mahina-a-rangi Baker

I te Pipiri i haere au ki ‘Sapmiland’ ki Te Porowhita Mātaratara hei māngai mō Ngāi Māori ki te ‘Indigenous Terra Madre’. Ko te ‘Indigenous Terra Madre’ te huihuinga, e whiriwhiria ai te kōrero mō te kai a ngā tangata whenua o te ao.

Nā te roopu ‘Slow Food’ i whakahaere i ngā hui. Ko te kaupapa o te roopu Slow Food, ko te kai ‘Reka, Parakore, Pono.’ I tēnei tau, nā te iwi Sapmi i karanga ai te hui ki tā rātou tāone matua o Jokkmokk. I haere āhau hei kanohi mō Te Waka Kai Ora, te Mana Hua Parakore o Aotearoa. Tōku waimarie hoki i te manaakitanga o te iwi Sapmi.

Ko te rohe o Sapmiland mai i te raki o Nōwei, Wītana me Whinirana ki te rāwhiti o Haipīria, ā, ko te nuinga o te rohe kei te raki o Te Porowhita Mātaratara. He iwi tawhito te Sapmi; kua tū te maungārongo i Sapmiland mō ngā manomano tau. Ko te whenua tō rātou kainga, ko ngā kararehe tō rātou

Te Ao Mārama

whānau. Ko te kararehe tino whakahirahira ki a rātou ko te renetia. E kī ai rātou i te whakataukī, “ka āpiti hono te wairua o te tangata ki te wairua o te renetia.”

Engari, i te rautau tekau mā ono, ka taumanu ngā whenua kaikai a ngā renetia ki Sapmiland. I te timatanga o te rautau rua tekau, e kāwanatia ana te iwi Sapmi e ngā tikanga o ngā momo tauiwi. I whakawaimeha i ngā tikanga Sapmi ki tā te Pākehā.

He mea pouri hoki, kua ngaro ētehi o ngā tikanga Sapmi mō te manaakitanga. Nā ngā mihinare i whakatū atu ngā tikanga Karaitiana hei whakakapi. Nō reira, i te hui, i whakaputa ai te Sapmi i te manaakitanga nā ngā tikanga Karaitiana mō te nuinga o te wā.

Heoi anō, he whakatauki anō tā te iwi Sapmi: “Ka ngaro te tumanako i ngā kaiwhakangau, ka ngaro te kai.” Kua mau tonu rātou ki te tumanako; ka whakahaumanu ngā whakatipuranga hou i tō rātou ake tikanga. Kua whakatutukia taua tumanako nā te mahi kai tuku iho. Kua whakatūwhera anō te iwi Sapmi i ngā roopu hēpara renetia. I ēnei rā, ka angitu te mahinga renetia.

Nā, ia rā ia rā, ka whakaratohia he mīti renetia hei kai, kia whakamana i a mātou ngā manuwhiri. Ko te mutunga kē mai nei o te pai te mīti renetia nā te mea ka kai te renetia i te kai parakore anake a Tāne-Mahuta. Anō hoki, ehara te mīti i te hinuhinu, a, kī tonu ki ngā huaora A, B, C me te E. Te reka rawa atu hoki!

I te pō whakangahau o te hui, ka waimarie mātou ngā manuwhiri ki te kai i te kai motuhake, tapu hoki. I waenganui pō, ka arahina mātou e ngā tangata whenua ki tētehi waerenga i te ngahere. Kei Te Porowhita Mātaratara i te raumati, pou tū tonu te rā i te waenganui pō. He mea whakamīharo tēnei. Nā, i tēnei pō ka whiti tonu te rā. Katahi ka tae mai mātou ki te waerenga, ka whaikōrero te rangatira o te hapū nō Jokkmokk.

Ka whakamōhio ia i a mātou, kua patu ia i tētehi pea, ina hoki, kua whakamate tēnei pea i ngā reneti maha. Ki tō te rangatira whakaaro, he tohu tino pai te whakahere o te pea, hei kai whakamana i a mātou ngā manuwhiri. E ai ki ngā pūrākau, he uri tēnei hapū nō ngā pea. Nō reira, he tino tapu te kaipatu o te pea, te tinana o te pea hoki. Nā, ka tukuna e te hapū he rīngi mō tētehi, mō tētehi. Ka tohutohu te rangatira, me titiro ki a ia ma roto i te rīngi, me kai i te mīti pea ma roto i te rīngi, hei whakanoa i te tapu. He mea hou tēnei ki a au! Heoi, a ngā ra e heke mai nei, ka maumahara tonu āhau i te koha o aua tāngata, i te tino reka o te mīti o te pea hoki, i whakamana ai i a mātou ngā manuwhiri.

Nō reira, ahakoa kua ngaro ētehi o ngā tikanga Sapmi o te manaakitanga, kaore e kore, nā te reka o te kai e whakaratohia ai e ngā tangata whenua, ka pāngia te manuwhiri i te aroha o te tangata whenua, ā, ka mau tonu te iwi Sapmi i te mana o ō rātou mātua tūpuna. Tēnei te mihi ki a koutou te iwi Sapmi, mō te kai, te aroha, me te manaakitanga. ngaitauira.org.nz

Te Herenga Waka Marae “Papa te whatitiri, hikohiko te uira, ngarue te whenua ki te rauhihi, ki te rauhaha. Kumea mai kia piri, kumea kia tata ki runga ki te marae e takoto

-Nā Rangiāhuta Alan Herewini Ruka Broughton nei, i te piringa e tū nei, ko Te Herenga Waka!”

Nā Kereru o te Kāhui Manu Kua 25 tau te whare whakahirahira nei, Te Tumu Herenga Waka, e tāwharau ana, e korowai ana i ngā manu e kai ana i te mātauranga i te Whare Wānanga o te Upoko o te Ika. I te tōnga o te tau, te tuaono o Hakihea i te tau 1986 i ea, i tutuki ngā āwhero i moemoeātia e ngā ihorei, a Ahorangi Wiremu Parker rāua ko Rangiāhuta Ruka Broughton me ngā kaitautāwhi i te kaupapa. I te aranga mai o ata hāpara, i tukua e te rangatira o te maunga tītōhea, a Huirangi Waikerepuru, ngā karakia kia whakatūwheratia te whare tipuna nei.

“Te Herenga Waka I-e!

Te Herenga Waka I-e!”

Hei te tōnga o te tau nei, ka whakanuia, ka hākaritia e te Whanau o Te Herenga Waka tēnei tau whakarae mō te marae. He kaupapa ka whakanuia e te whare wānanga, e ngā tauira anō hoki. Ka huraina te waharoa hou o Te Herenga Waka marae i te tuaono o Hakihea. Nā Takirirangi Smith te waharoa i whakairo. Ko ia te kaiwhakairo matua o te whare tipuna.

“Tini whetu ki te rangi, Ko Rangitāne ki te whenua” Ko te mauri o te whare o Te Tumu Herenga Waka i ahu mai i Te Ahu a Tūranga i ngā tihitihi o ngā pae maunga o Ruahine. Nō reira i te hui ā-tau, arā te hākari mō Matariki i whakanuia e Te Whanau o Te Herenga Waka a Rangitāne iwi. Me mihi ka tika ki te rangatira, arā te uri o Rangitāne a Tākuta Mason Durie mō ōna kōrero i tērā pō whakahirahira.

“Ka mate kainga tahi, ka ora kainga rua” Ko Te Herenga Waka he kainga, he taunga whakaruruhau mō ngā tauira o te whare wananga e piki ana i ngā ara tukutuku o Poutama. Inā anō te nui o ngā wā ka kitea ngā kāhui ākonga o mua e hokihoki mai ana ki te marae kia hoki-māhara ki ngā wā rātou i te whare wānanga. Ko Te Herenga Waka he āhuru mōwai mō ngā tauira, he tohu mō te aroha, mō manaaki hoki.

He aha tēnei mea te manaakitanga?

He nui ngā kōrero e rere ana mō tēnei mea te ‘manaakitanga’ engari he aha kē te tino ngako o tēnei kupu? E ai ki ētahi, ko tōna ngako he tiaki tamariki, he whāngai manuhiri, he kanohi kitea, he whakawhanaungatanga i raro i te rangimārie, he aha kē atu, he aha kē mai.

Tēnā, kia tirohia e tātou te kupu nei. Ko tōna pūtake ko te kupu ‘manaaki’, ā, ki te wetewetea tēnei kupu ka hua ko te ‘mana-aki’. Nā tēnei āhuatanga ka toko ake te whakaaro he mea akiaki te manaakitanga i te mana o te tangata. Nō reira, ka taea pea te kī, ko te manaakitanga, he mea hei tū whakahīhī ai te tangata.

Te Ao Mārama

I runga i ēnei whakaaro, ka tika, kei te whakatinanatia e te marae o Te Herenga Waka ngā āhuatanga o te manaakitanga.

Ka tāea e te tauira te noho ki ngā rekereke o ngā tipuna poupou, te whakakī kete ki ngā korero o te Pātaka Iringa Kōrero, te whakakī puku i te hora o te kai ki ngā tēpu.I kī mai tētahi tauira tawhito “I ngā wā o mua i haere au ki Te Herenga Waka i ngā wā i toutou ngā pēhitanga o te whare wananga i tōku ahi, koira te take kua ea tōku tohu”.

Nō reira, marika ana te rere o te reo aumihi, ngā mihi matakuikui ki Te Whanau o Te Herenga Waka. Inā te kōrero, “ko te mahi a te rangatira ko te manaaki.” Nō reira kua rangatira te Whare Wānanga o te Upoko o te Ika i a koutou ō Te Herenga Waka Marae. Ngā mihi nui mō ngā tau kua pahure me ngā tau kei te heke mai nei. Ra whanau kia koe, kia koutou, kia tātou katoa o te whanau o Te Herenga Waka.

Ngā Rangahautira Ngā Rangahautira, the Maori Law Students Society, has been growing in leaps and bounds. Founded in the 1980’s by Moana Jackson and many other notable Maori legal personalities, the group has been providing student support to future Maori lawyers studying at Victoria’s Law School. Run entirely by students, Ngā Rangahautira has been an essential part of many students’ experience of law school life.

Every year brings new challenges and many exciting events. 2010 was a hugely important year for Ngā Rangahautira as the national Te Hunga Roia Maori o Aotearoa Maori Law Society Conference was held in Wellington late last year. Being the hosting Law School, this amazing event bought students and practitioners from all over the country together to share experiences and take home words of advice and legal wisdom from many important figures from our legal profession. Held annually since 1988, the conference is the highlight of the year for Maori lawyers and students alike. The first annual Maori Law Awards were also held at Te Papa during the conference and saw many alumni from Victoria receiving praise and awards for their important work.

Two weeks ago the 2011 conference was held in Hamilton and as usual, Nga Rangahautira sent a keen contingent to join the group. As usual, amazing speakers, inspirational lawyers and extremely talented students were bought together to meet, greet and learn from each other. Nga Rangahautira look forward to this event each and every year and will continue to attend and proudly represent out university for many years to come.

This year, Phoebe Monk and Shaun Raumati are Tumuaki Wahine, and Tumuaki Tane. They head a keen and enthusiastic executive group elected at the annual Nga Rangahautira AGM which was held earlier this year. It is a pleasure

to see students from all year groups come together and volunteer to be part of the executive team.

This the executive are holding a sports day, Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori event, a pre-law ball social gathering, various BYO dinners and BBQ’s to promote Nga Rangahautira’s presence at our university and to encourage a continued involvement in kaupapa Maori.

The Law library now has a new room exclusively for the use of Maori and Pasifika students which will include a collection of reference materials, a projector screen and will be a space for Maori students to use for group discussion and tutorials.

Nga Rangahautira focus on enhancing the understanding of law amongst Maori students, and continue to provide social, academic, cultural and political activities. Extra tutorials and study sessions are provided for Maori students and encourage full understanding of the law whilst protecting the importance of tikanga Maori. Nga Ranghautira is a group open to students from all stages of their law degrees and helps to bridge the gap between Maori lawyers in the community, and Maori students in study.

We hope to meet many more students as the year goes on, and all students involved are committed to making law school a fun, warm and inclusive place for Maori students.

A, na ngā manu korihi o te Herenga Waka te reo pōhiri kia matou kia whakaeke ki te marae mō te Hui Whakapūmau. Whai muri mai i te pōhiri, ka tīmata ngā mihimihi, tuku taonga o Ngai Tauira me te karakia whakapūmau.

Hei kīnaki i ngā mihi me ngā taonga, i tu a Mereana Hond, tētahi o ngā tauira o mua ki te tuku korero mō ana mahi whakaata mō te hongere o Al Jazeera. Ko tāna, ahakoa te aha, me whai whakaaro koe kia koe anō, a me whakangungu, whakatika ia koe anō hoki.

Ki reira koe takahi i te ara o poutama, i te ara o te mātauranga. A, ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga, nōna te ao.

Nō te pō tonu i tu te whakapotaetanga mō ngā tauira Maori e kiia nei ko Toi Huarewa.

He kaupapa nui whakaharahara kia tu te kanohi Maori ki runga i te atamira me tona whakawhiwhi ki te tohu paetahi. Nōku anō te maringanui kia tu ki mua i te aroaro ki te whakaputa i waku whakaaro me te whakahoki i ngā korero ki te hunga na rātou i whakarite i te hui o Toihuarewa.

Nō reira, ka waiho aua korero ki reira.

Te Matatini o Te Rā 2011

Ko Ahititi te maunga Ko Waihirere te awa Ko Wai-o-Hika te marae

“Taku pōhiri e rere atu ra, ki te hiku o te ika, te puku o te whenua, te pane o te motu ki te whakawhititanga i Raukawa i te Waipounamu e!”

Nei ra te reo pōhiri o ngā uri o te Tairawhiti, o te Urunga mai o te ra.

E rāhiri, e raupī ake nei ki te tini ngerongero o te tī, o te tā kua karapinepine mai nei ki runga o Wai-o-Hika Irirangi. Hitaratara ana te kiri i te pāorooro o ngā reo karanga a kui ma, i te whēorooro o te takahi pakahukahu o Te Aitanga a Mahaki, o Rongowhakaata, o Ngāti Porou whānui.

Kua tu anō te Whakataetae-a-Motu mō ngā mahi a Tānerore me Hinerehia, ara Te Matatini o Te Ra ki Wai-o-Hika. Whā tekau ma rua ngā rōpū, me kī ngā kawau mārō o ngā rohe o Aotearoa whakawhiti atu ki te Whenua Moemoea. Kua roa nei rātou e parakatihi ana, kaore e kore kua rutua a roimata, kua heke a mōtuhi, kua tu ngā pihi, ahakoa tera ko te mea nui kua tae rātou ki te mura o te ahi, te kauhanga riri, ara ko te papa-whakatuwaewae o Te Matatini o Te Ra ki te whakaatu ki te iti me te rahi te hua o a rātou mahi.

“Ko Ruaumoko e ngunguru nei, i au au aue ha!”

Kua puta te ihi me te wehi, haruru ana te papa-whakatuwaewae, tutu ana te puehu, whētero mai ngā arero, pukana mai ngā whatu.

Katahi ka rongo te marea i te reo waiti, te reo wainene, te reo rōreka o ngā kaihaka.

“Hitekiteki, tarapekepeke, tiremiremi” Ka kite i ngā wahine i pikari, i hīteki. Ka kite i ngā ika a Whiro e whakapuaki i a rātou whakaaro ki te hunga e mātakitaki ana. Kua tu i a kapa ki te haka mō ngā ra e toru, a whaimuri i tera i kōwhiria ngā kaiwhakawā ngā kapa e iwa kua eke ki ngā whiringa whāiti. Ko ēnei ngā kapa haka rōpū kua eke ki te whiringa whāiti: Wahanga tuatahi: Te Ihu

Wahanga tuarua: Te Haumi

Wahanga tuatoru: Te Kei

- Te Whanau-a-Apanui

- Whāngārā Mai Tawhiti

- Te Mātārae I O Rehu

- Waihīrere

- Te Hokowhitu-a-Tu

- Te Waka Huia

- Ōpōtiki Mai Tawhiti

- Te Pou o Mangatāwhiri

- Ngāti Rangiwewehi

Kua eke te nuinga o ēnei kapa ki te whiringa whāiti, me kī ki te karamatamata o te ao Kapa Haka. Ko tēnei te wā tuatahi i kite te marea i ngā uri o Waikato Taniwharau a Te Pou o Mangatāwhiri i tēnei taumata, nō reira me mihi ka tika ki a rātou ma.

Ahakoa pupuhi mai ngā hau a Tawhirimatea, maringi mai ngā roimata a Ranginui, poutūmārō ngā rōpū kapa haka me ngā kaitautoko kua whakarauika mai nei ahakoa te āwha o te marangai, koira te tohu o te matangareka o Ngai Maori.

Ki-ō-rahi Nā Pīwaiwaka o te Kāhui Manu

I ngā wiki e rua kua pahure, i haere ētahi tauira o Ngāi Tauira ki te kāreti o Taita mō te hākinakina rongonui, ki-o-rahi.

Tekau o mātou i haere kūare atu ki te purei. Haunga i te kotahi tangata, kīhai mātou i mōhio ki ngā ture, ki ngā whainga, ki ngā nekehanga, ki ngā aha ranei o te hākinakina nei! Heoi, ahakoa tēnā, i te mutunga iho i hihiko te manawa ki tēnei o ngā tākaro.

I mua i te kēmu tuatahi i whakamōhio mai e tētahi o ngā kaiwhakahaere i ngā āhuatanga o te kēmu. Ko tāna, ‘he māmā noa iho,’ engari mō ētahi!

Ko te papatākaro he porowhita te rite. Ko tētahi porowhita nui me tētahi porowhita anō ki waenga, ka mutu, he porowhita pakupaku ake ki waenga i ēnei. I te mutunga iho, he pēnei i tētahi ‘bullseye’ te rite. I roto i te porowhita pakupaku he ipu e kī a nei ko te ‘tupu’. Ka whiu te tima ‘Taniwha’ i te poro ki te tupu, ka mutu, ka patu, ka whai piro.

Kei te tahataha o te porowhita rahi ētahi pou e whitu., engari kei tētahi taha o te porowhita he ara putanga mai i te porowhita o waenga ki waho i te porowhita rahi. Ko tēnei te ‘awa’. E kore e taea ngā ‘Taniwha’ ki te whiti atu i tēnei awa.

Ko ngā hoariri, te tima Kioma, ka oma haere rātou kia pa atu te poro ki ngā pou o waho. Mutu ana i tēnei, ki te whai whainga rātou ki tua o te rārangi o ngā Taniwha, ka riro i a rātou i ēnei piro e hia kē mai i ngā pou.

Hukehuke ana te rere a ētahi o ngā tauira o te kāreti. Na to rātou matatau ki tēnei kēmu rātou i wepu ai i a matou!

Ngā Tima Netipōro o Ngāi Tauira Na Kereru o Te Kahui Manu Katahi anō te tima netipōro o Ngai Tauira kua whakaeke mai nei ki runga i te kauhanga riri me kī ngā kōti neti poro o te whare wānanga nei.

Kua roa nei te wā ngā kaitākaro o Ngāi Tauira e purei ana, ahakoa tera kaore e kore e rongo korero ngā hoariri i ngā pukenga o ēnei kaitākaro pīkiwaha nei kua tae mai.

E rua ngā tima netipōro o Ngāi Tauira, ko Pango rāua ko Whero. Kei reira tonu o matou whanaunga o Ngā Rangahautira me tā rātou ope taua. I a wiki, i a wiki i purei ēnei tima ki ētahi atu. Tāheke mai a tota, a mōtuhi i te tere hoki o ngā kēmu. Ahakoa te uaua o ngā kēmu e nanaiore ana ngā tima o Ngai Tauira me Ngā Rangahautira, a, i te mutunga o ngā tau whainga kua puta te ihu o Ngāi Tauira Pango me Ngā Rangahautira ki ngā whiringa whāiti o te whakataetae.

Kua tīmata te pakanga! Tere tonu te rere o te poro, hūpekepeke ngā tangata, whiowhiotia te wīhara o te kaiwawao. Ahakoa te kaha o Ngāi Tauira kei a rātou te hoariri te mana whakahaere o te wahanga tuatahi. A kei te whawhai tonu matou i te wahanga tuarua engari kua pau te hau, kua tu ngā pihi o ngā kaitākaro katoa i runga i te kōti. Kei te hēmanawa ngā tima e rua i te mutunga o te kēmu engari kei a matou hoariri te mana i tera rā.

Ahakoa kaore a Ngai Tauira Pango i ū ki ngā whiringa toa kei te mōhio matou he wā anō kei te haere mai, ara te wahanga tuarua o te tau.

Nei rā te mihi ki a koe Toma te kaiwhakahaere i ngā mahi tākaro o Ngāi Tauira, mō to kaha ki te tītakataka i ngā mea nunui. Nei anō te mihi ki a koutou ngā kaitākaro o Ngāi Tauira rātou ko Ngā Rangahautira.

Te Ipu Whutupaoro o te Ao 2011 Nā Kōtuku o te Kahui Manu

Mō koutou kua noho toka mō ngā tau e rima kua pahure, ka tū te Ipu Whutupaoro o te Ao ki Aotearoa hei te Mahuru ki te Whiringa-a-Nuku o tēnei tau.

E rua-tekau ngā whenua ka whakataetae i te tauwhāinga nei. Kōtahi noa iho te whenua hou ka whakataetae i tēnei o ngā tauwhāinga o te Ao, arā, kua uru mai ngā Pea o Rūhia mō te wā tuatahi. Kei roto rātou i te puna tuatoru, ka pakanga rātou kia Ahitereiria, Itaria, Airani me te whenua o Amerika. Ko to rātou pakanga kia Amerika te mea nui kia rātou i te mea ko Amerika te hoariri matua o Rūhia i ngā tau o mua rā anō. Mēnā kei Ngāmotu koutou hei te 15 o Mahuru tena peka atu ki te mātaki i taua kēmu, he kēmu mīharo tēnei.

Huri ana ki puna kē, kei roto te Kapa o Pango i te puna tuatahi i te taha o Tonga, Hapani, Kānata me ērā nanakia nā rātou a Aotearoa i hinga i te tau 2007 a Wīwī.

Kāore e kore ko te pakanga nui o tēnei puna ko te kēmu i waenganui i a Aotearoa me Wīwī. Kaua e wareware anō, i a Ōtautahi e whakarite ana i a ia anō whai muri ake i te Rū whenua, i pāngia anō hoki te kaha o Rūaumoko ki te whenua o Hapani, nō reira, pakanga ana a Aotearoa

kia Hapani, kei te whakaaro ngā whenua e rua nei ki o rātou wā kainga me ngā pēhitanga kei reira.

Te ahua nei, ko te puna tuarua he whakataetae mō te tūranga tuarua kei muri i a Ingarangi. Ko ngā tīma e whakataetae ana mō tēnei tūranga, ara ka uru atu ki ngā whiringa-hauwhā, ko ngā Pūmā o Argentina me Kōtirana. Ka tu te kakari nei ki te ‘Tīni keke’ hei te 25 o Māhuru. Ko te toenga o ngā whenua kei roto i tēnei o ngā puna ko Romania me Georgia, anō hoki he pakanga nui tēnei kei waenganui i ngā whenua pātata ka tū ki Te Papaioea ā te 25 o Whiringa-a-Nuku.

Arā, kua tae atu ināianei ki te Puna tuawhā, arā, kua whakaingoatia ko te

Puna o te Mate. Tokowhā ngā whenua e kakari ana mō ngā tūranga e rua mō ngā whiringa-hauwhā. Arā ko Awherika ki te Tonga, ko Wēra me ngā nō Hāmoa me Whīti. Ko te whenua whakamutunga o te puna nei ko Namibia. He aha te mea ka whakawehe ngā tima tokowhā matua o te puna nei? Ko wai ka wepua i a Namibia ma te tatauranga nui ake i ētahi atu? Ko te whakapae, ko Awherika ki te Tonga te whenua ka mutu tuatahi mai i te puna. I Wīwī i te tau 2007, ka patua a Whīti i a Wēra, a i te tau 1991, na Hā moa a Wēra i hinga anō hoki, nō reira ko te urupounamu nui, ma wai te tūranga tuarua e whakakī?

Kaua e wareware, kei a Whakaata Māori te katoa o ngā kēmu ka whakapāoho mai ki te whenua, otirā ki te Ao. He mea mīharo tēnei i te mea kāore anō ngā whakataetae o te tauwhāinga nei ka pāoho atu i roto kātoa i te Reo Rangatira, ā, anō hoki kua rongo kōrero te kaituhi he hiahia nō rātou ki te pāoho ngā kēmu o ngā whenua pēnei i a Kānata, Wēra, Airani me Kotirana ki roto i ō rātou ake Reo tūturu kia rongo ngā tangata whenua o aua whenua ki ō rātou Reo Rangatira anō hoki. Nō reira, mena kei te pīrangi koutou ki te mātaki i te whutupāoro, ā, ki te rongo hoki i te Reo Māori, whakapā atu ki ngā hōngore e rua o Whakaata Māori.

I te rā 15 o Whiringa-ā-nuku 2007, ka pā te ringa o te Kāwana i ētahi kaiwhakatūtū o Aotearoa.

Ko te kiriata Rama Kākāriki he whakatinanatanga o ngā pūrākau pikitia i whakaputa e DC Comics i ngā rā o mua.

E ai ki te pirihimana he kaiwhakatuma ērā tāngata. E whai ana te pirihimana i aua kaiwhakatūtū mō ngā tau e rua i raro i te tirohanga ‘Operation 8’. He pakipūmeka tēnei e pā ana ki Operation 8 me te mahi ‘whakatumatuma’ i roto i Aotearoa, i roto i te ao whānui hoki.

E ai ki te pirihimana nā ētahi o Tūhoe i whakahaere i ētahi puni whakatumatuma. Ko te kaupapa o ēnei puni whakatumatuma ko te kōhuru o Helen Clarke, George Bush, me ngā tangata o Aotearoa. Engari, ehara tēnei kiriata he whakaaturanga ki te tautoko i te kōrero o ngā pirihimana.

Tokomaha ngā tāngata e kōrero ana mō tēnei kaupapa. He tino mātauranga kei ēnei kōrero. He āhua roa tēnei pakipūmeka nā te mea he titiro whānui ngā kaihanga ki te mahi whakatumatuma me ngā mahi whakatūtū.

Me mātakitaki te katoa o Aotearoa i tēnei pakipūmeka kia mōhio koutou te kōrero tika mō ‘Operation 8’ me te ao o ngā kaiwhakatūtū .

House of Shem: Island Vibration Review NĀ Pītoitoi o te Kāhui Manu

Ko tēnei te kōpae tuarua mō ēnei toki Māori o te ao waiata reggae ki Aotearoa nei. Ahakoa ko tēnei tō rātou kōpae tuarua noa, kua wāia kē rātou ki ēnei mahi. Ko ētahi o rātou i ngā rā o mua kua tū mō ngā pēne pērā kia Herbs me The Twelve Tribes Of Israel.

E hoa mā, i te tino hihiko tōku manawa i tōku rongo mō te putanga mai o tēnei kōpae. Nā te aha i pēnei ai? Nā te mea ko tō rātou kōpae tuatahi (Keep Rising) tētahi o ōku tino kōpae i roto i tēnei ao! E hia kē ngā waiata e whakahiki nei i te wairua pērā ki a ‘Thinking About You’, ‘Keep Raising’ me ‘Dreams’ e hika mā, ngā mea katoa! Nō reira, kua tōhua kē tēnei kōpae i te taumata tiketike hei eke.

Ahakoa i te hihiko te manawa, i te āhua āwangawanga hoki au nā runga i ōku whakaaro “ka taea tēnei kōpae ki te eke ki ngā taumata tiketike o te kōpae tuatahi?”

I au e whakaaronga ana ki tēnei kōpae ka hoki mai ngā oro rongonui o House of Shem, te tangi o te pūtohe me te ia o te reggae. Ahakoa te whānui, te rongonui o tēnei mea te reggae, he mita reggae anō tō Aotearoa. Ki te hiahia koe ki te rongo ki tēnei momo reggae nei rā te kōpae mō tēnā.

Ko te pai nui, ‘i eke ki te taumata o te kōpae tuatahi?’ ki ahau nei, kāo. Heoi, kāore i te tino tawhiti tōna ekenga ki taua taumata rā. He āhua ngāwari ake te ia o tēnei kōpae. He pai mō aua haerenga roa mā runga motokā i te raumati me te whakatā i te wairua.

Ko ngā waiata pai ki au ko ‘Party’ me ‘Sweet Love’. Ka nui te mihi hoki ki a rātou mō tō rātou mahi ngātahi i te taha o Ruia ki te tito he waiata reo Māori mō te kōpae nei, ‘Tahuri mai’. Mauri ora.

Hutia te rito o te harakeke...he aha te mea nui o te ao?

He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

E kui, Ko tēnei taku tau rua tekau ma tahi ki te whare wananga, me noho tonu au, me haere ranei?

Na Tane Hika ma e moko. Me pēnei taku korero ki a koe. Kaore he mutunga ki tēnei mea te huarahi o te mātauranga, engari me mōhio mārika koe, a tona wā, me hoki koe ka tika ki ōu maunga kia tuku i ōu mōhiotanga ki ngā uri whakaheke o t/ōu iwi. Kei a koe te whiriwhiringa hei āhea taua wā.

E kui, E kōingo ana ahau ki tetahi tane, engari he tane whaiwhai wahine ia. Me aha au?

- Mate Kanehe E hine! Kaua e whaiwhai i te tane whaiwhai wahine. Me oma atu ke koe. Katahi ano ia ka whaiwhai i a koe.

Kuikui, Nō hea o tini mātauranga? Me pēhea au e whai i to tauira?

Naku noa, nā tō pononga i te mātauranga.

Ahhhhh, nō ngā Atua e moko! Nō ngā rangitūhāhā ōku tini mātauranga. Engari anei he timotimo kai ma to kete mātauranga: 1. Kainga ōu huawhenua!

2. Whakarongo ki o matua, ki o kaumātua.

3. Tīkina he kapu tī moku...katahi au ka whakautu i tou pātai tuarua.

Ahakoa te reka o ngā tuhinga e whakarākei ana i tēnei taonga o tātou, kīhai te hunga pānui e hīkaka ana ki te tuku reta ki Te Ao Marama i roto i te reo rangatira nei. Nō reira au e tuku nei i tēnei wero ki a koutou i runga i taku aroha ki te reo o o tātou matua tipuna.

Akiakitia, poipoia, whakarikarikatia te hunga pānui kia <3 tia te reo! Kaua kē e waiho ma te wiki kotahi e kawe i to tātou reo ki ngā karu pānui a ngā manu kai mātauranga o te whare wananga nei. Ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Maori. Doitz! :P Naku nei na te pononga o te reo!

THIS IS yOUR OPPORTUNITy

Fairfax New Zealand Journalism Internships FAIRFAX MEDIA, publisher of the country’s leading newspapers, magazines and websites, is again seeking bright, aspiring journalists to become the outstanding journalists of tomorrow as part of our intern scheme.

We want the best people to be part of our multi-media organisation. The scheme is now in its fifth year and already those chosen are making their mark not just in newsrooms but in national media awards.

The successful applicants are chosen by editors and editorial leaders throughout Fairfax after they prioritise the Fairfax Media organisations they would like to work for.

After undergoing exceptional training at one of our five preferred journalism schools – the University of Canterbury, Massey University, Wellington, the Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec), Aoraki Polytechnic, Dunedin, and the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) – interns join their chosen newspaper or website.

We will reimburse the fees of those who pass and provide challenging work afterwards in our newsrooms. As well, we provide ongoing training and opportunities to advance.

We are seeking highly motivated people from all walks of life to join us.

A relevant tertiary qualification is preferred but we will consider candidates who have minimum qualifications of NCEA Level 3 or the relevant life skills.

For further information and to apply online at: http://www.fairfaxmedia.co.nz/careers/journalism-internships.dot before noon on Monday, August 1, 2011
