NEW BOARD APPOINTED FOLLOWING ELECTIONS Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board Tēnā koutou katoa, Welcome to our Ngahuru / Autumn issue of Te Kōtuku. Board Members elected for 2021 – 2024 term Following the 2021 triennial Trust Board elections in January, a new Board has been elected for the 2021 – 2024 term. I wish to acknowledge everyone who stood for election and I look forward to working with the appointed members. It was good to see strong interest in the elections.

• “... I would also like to thank everyone who voted. For the first time, online voting was permitted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The online option was a popular choice with whānau.” Education Grant applications With the school and academic year now back in full swing, our team are busy processing education grant applications. I encourage you to apply early, online via our website www.tuwharetoa.co.nz/education/ The closing date for applications is 31 May 2021.

receive it. Māori are identified as being at high risk of the Coronavirus – especially kaumātua and people with other illnesses. District Health Boards will play a lead role organising the vaccination programme in local communities. They will be working with local health service providers and medical centres to deliver the vaccine. Keep an eye out for further updates from your local DHB and health service provider. Many whānau have questions about the vaccine. It is important that you inform yourself as much as possible using trusted sources of information.

We recommend that you refer to the Unite Against COVID-19 website www.covid19.govt.nz and the Ministry of Health www.health.govt.nz If you have any concerns about the vaccine, you should discuss this with your doctor.

A work crew of 10 Tūwharetoa people employed to carry out renovation work at five Tūwharetoa marae have settled into their mahi and are making steady progress. As part of the Trust Board’s Ringa Raupa project, the Board secured government funding under the Provincial Growth Fund to employ Tūwharetoa people to carry out renovation work at Waihī, Kakahi, Otūkou, Korohē and Nukuhau marae. The crew started their mahi in October 2020,

beginning at Waihī marae repainting the exterior of the whārekai and whārepuni. The team then moved to Kakahi Marae not long before the Christmas break. They built a covered walkway and kai karanga shelter. They also carried out flooring and external repairs to the whāre karakia. Following Kakahi, the project team will then move to Otūkou marae, followed by Korohē and then Nukuhau marae.

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

BROADENS HORIZONS

Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board

Tertiary student, Rangimarie Pita Damora, undertook a summer internship in our Natural Resources team, working in the taiao during her university break. Rangimarie is in the process of completing an environmental degree at Waikato University. This is her account about her Trust Board internship:

Ko Tongariro te maunga, Ko Taupō te moana, Ko Tūwharetoa te iwi, Ko te Heuheu te tangata, Ko Waihī raua ko Hīrangi oku marae, Ko Ngāti Turumakina raua ko Ngāti Tūrangitukua oku hapū, Ko Rangimarie Pita Damora tōku ingoa, Growing up in Tūrangi I was raised to follow my dreams, which has stemmed from my love of nature.  It is here, at my marae, I learnt of my ao Māori and the intrinsic connection our people have to our whenua and moana. ‘Whenua ki te whenua’. We are connected to all things; the sun, stars, water, land, trees, birds, people. We all share the same mauri. This connection drives my desire to help conserve, maintain and protect our taiao and is the reason I chose to study toward a degree in environmental

management / marine biology with Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology and Waikato University. It only seems natural to want to look after the environment for everyone’s wellbeing. The transition from student life and classroom to a professional work environment can at times have its challenges. However, the opportunity for me to be an intern for the Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board has been nothing but rewarding. The awesome opportunities I had to see and experience first-hand the mahi that benefits and impacts our people, environment and values further drive my aspirations to maintain sustainable practices for generations to come. I am so grateful and humbled by all the mahi the Trust Board does to look after our taonga tuku iho. I got to work alongside our iwi, integrating conceptual knowledge with mātauranga Māori.  Such as applying ancestral methods to Tau Kōura monitoring, researching kōrero tupuna pertaining to our awa, learning about micro-hydro systems and mahi pare kore to implement for our marae. Over the period of the internship I have learnt the importance of maintaining strong relationships within our iwi, hapū and whānau. As it is through strong relationships we can continue to establish, develop and strengthen our mana whenua, Tūwharetoa mātauranga, and holistic understanding of our taonga tuku iho.

The Ngāti Tūwharetoa Genesis Energy Committee and the Ngāti Tūwharetoa Mercury Development Group held their Hui–a–Iwi in November 2020 at Rongomai marae. Both committees reported on their 2019-2020 activities and discussed areas of focus for 2020-2021. The committees approved 106 applications which amounted to $686,083 in support funding. It was also an election year, with nominations taken from the floor.

Congratulations were extended to Heemi Biddle and Ngahere Wall who will continue as members for the Ngāti Tūwharetoa Mercury Development Group. Marie Hartley and Te Waa Owens were newly elected onto the Ngāti Tuwharetoa Genesis Energy Committee, alongside Heemi Biddle. The hui acknowledged the contribution of Te Reo Whakakotahi Wall (Uncle Chulla), who officially stood down as a trustee after 16 years. As Chair, Uncle Chulla has steered the committee through some big changes. He was asked to remain involved as a Pou Tikanga / Kaumātua advisor, which he accepted. The elected Ngāti Tūwharetoa representatives sit on the committees for a three-year term. Both committees meet every two (2) months to assess applications. A reminder that funding applications can be made throughout the year. Full details about closing dates for applications and committee meeting dates are available on our website www.tuwharetoa.co.nz/ funding-initiatives/ If you have any pātai, please feel free to contact our Project Coordinator, Lauren Fletcher by email lauren@tuwharetoa.co.nz or mobile 021 224 8268

River and Stream Monitoring

Following the formal transfer, our Natural Resources team has been working with the Regional Council to ensure a seamless transfer. Our monitoring work includes the following:

We carry out monthly testing of 12 rivers and streams which is geared towards tracking the health of our awa. These samples are also analysed by Hills Laboratory and NIWA.

Summer Beach Bathing

Doing the mahi

We monitor the health of our moana at five (5) key summer swimming sites around Lake Taupō to ensure the safety of whānau and the community. We take weekly water samples which are analysed by Hills Laboratory and NIWA – the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. The test results are made available on the LAWA (Land, Air, Water Aotearoa) website www.lawa.org.nz

Brett Taylor (Ngāti Hinemihi) is our Environmental Coordinator leading the transition of the monitoring functions. “I feel privileged to be carrying out this mahi and to be contributing to the role of Ngāti Tūwharetoa as kaitiaki of Taupō moana and our rivers and streams,” says Brett. The team will look to transition the functions and embed them in the organisation during the next 12 months. Reviews will be ongoing to look at ways of further improving this mahi to help protect our taonga tuku iho for future generations.

TAU KŌURA PROJECT Tūwharetoa Māori Trust Board Our Tau Kōura monitoring project is now in its second year. Our team has continued to work closely with hapū and this has enabled stability in results throughout the project. The purpose of using the Tau Kōura as a monitoring tool is to use kōura as our indicator species to monitor the health of our moana. This year, there has been one monitoring round of Tau Kōura undertaken. This has provided an indication about the way kōura respond to any environmental changes.

There are currently two Tau Kōura sites in Waihi, two in Motuoapa and two in Nukuhau, where there is also potential to increase this to three sites in the future. We anticipate an increase in the kōura population over the coming months as water temperatures get cooler. So far, through the water quality testing that is part of our monitoring we have not detected anything out of the ordinary. We extend a big mihi to our kaimahi from DOC and Korohē, Pākira, Nukuhau and Te Rangiita marae who have shown tremendous interest in the project.

TRUST SHOWCASES

SEAFOOD & MARINE INDUSTRY TO RANGATAHI Ngāti Tūwharetoa Fisheries Charitable Trust A group of 13 Tūwharetoa rangatahi got to visit Nelson in January as part of a special programme organised by the Fisheries Trust to showcase the seafood and marine industry as a potential career pathway. Led by Directors Nathan Reid and Francene Wineti and Trustees Judy Harris (Chair) and Heemi Biddle, the group spent four days in the Nelson region. Three rangatahi hailed from Tūwharetoa ki Kawerau with the bulk of the group coming from Tūrangi. Judy Harris said “This was the first time the Fisheries Trust has hosted a group this size of our young people. By using our industry and stakeholder relationships we were really pleased that our rangatahi we able to experience practical insights into the marine and

seafood industry.” There was strong interest in the programme with a number of applications received. “It was challenging to schedule the visit between school examinations and the operational window of some of the big fishing boats,” said Danny Loughlin. Some of the key highlights for the rangatahi included being hosted by Whakatu Marae, experiencing computer simulators aboard fishing vessels, meeting Doug Paulin CEO of Sealord and visiting the Cawthron Institute. Following the visit, two rangatahi took immediate steps to progress enquiries with Sealord about ongoing training, development and employment opportunities. It is hoped the programme will be run again in the future.

Te Wikitōria, Blandina Diamond

Our Tūwharetoa Kāinga Strategy is continuing to make good progress. Over the past three months, TST General Manager Greg Stebbing and Tūwharetoa Kāinga Strategy Project Manager Blandina Diamond have also been invited to a series of wānanga focused on the Government’s housing strategy. “This was a great opportunity to share our learnings and findings from our Tūwharetoa Kāinga Strategy, and our plans moving forward,” says Ms Diamond. We are also pleased to advise that the Ministry for Housing and Urban development have accepted

our application for funding to assist with our Pilot Programmes: Advice and Advocacy, Repair and Maintenance, and Residential Build. You can read more about these pilot programmes in our Annual Report on the TST website. “This support will enable TST to take on additional resources for Kāinga advice and advocacy programmes, and our residential projects,” says Ms Diamond. The last quarter of 2020 also heralded some further positive developments in the housing space, that presents opportunities for the Tūwharetoa Kāinga Strategy. It was great to hear the news that Kāinga Ora will be investing in social housing developments in Tūrangi and Taupō. “We plan to engage with them on the opportunities in this space and how we can be involved, and we look forward to updating you on further progress over the coming months,” says Ms. Diamond.

About the Tūwharetoa Kāinga Strategy The Strategy takes an in-depth look at what’s needed to realise affordable housing, assured housing, and healthy and accessible homes. It has been informed by six months of targeted research looking at the causes of


TE KŌTUKU

the current housing status quo throughout Aotearoa, and the solutions, challenges and gaps therein. By investigating and designing housing solutions for our future and current generations, and through collaborating with other entities within Tūwharetoa and agencies across Aotearoa, the hope is that the socio-economic housing related problems our people face today will be addressed. The Strategy indicates the solutions that are best-suited to the Tūwharetoa rohe, how initial projects will move forward, time frames and potential partnerships.

TE KŌTUKU

Ngā mea hei whakaarotanga i mua i tō whai i te kano ārai mate Mēnā kua pāngia koe e te pāwera kino rawa atu, mēnā rānei i tere tonu te pāngia ōu e te pāwera nā te kano ārai mate, nā te werohanga rānei i mua, tēnā kōrerotia tēnei ki te kaiwhāngai i a koe ki te kano ārai mate. Mēnā e whāngaia ana koe ki te rongoā whakawaiwai toto, mēnā rānei e pāngia ana koe e te mate ā-toto, whakamōhiotia te kaiwhāngai i a koe ki te kano ārai mate. Mēnā e hapū ana koe, e whāngai pēpē ana rānei koe ki te ū, tēnā kōrero atu ki te kaiwhāngai i a koe ki te kano ārai mate, ki tō tākuta rānei, ki tō tapuhi whakawhānau rānei. Mēnā e whāngaia ana koe ki ngā rongoā mō te mate pukupuku, arā, ki a Keytruda rānei, ki a Opdivo rānei, ki a Yervoy rānei, ki a Tecentriq rānei, kōrero ki tō mātanga e mōhio ai koe mēnā me whāngai koe ki te kano ārai mate. I tēnei wā, kāore mātou i te whakawātea i te kano ārai mate a Pfizer ki te hunga e tamariki ake ana i te 16 tau te pakeke kia wātea mai he raraunga atu anō. Mēnā e rongo ana koe i ngā tohumate o KOWHEORI-19, whāia kia whakamātauhia koe, ā, e noho ki te kāinga tae noa ki te wā ka whiwhi koe i ngā hua mōu. E whakaaetia ana kia whāngaia koe ki te kano ārai mate ā te wā tonu e kī ana ngā hua o tō whakamātautau kāore koe e pāngia ana .

He aha ka hua mai ā muri i te whāngaia ōku ki te kano ārai mate? Me tatari kia pau te 30 meneti i muri i te whāngaia ōu ki te kano ārai mate kia kite ai ngā kaimahi hauora kāore e pērā rawa ana te kino o te pāngia ōu e te pāwera.

Ngā mate āpiti tērā pea ka puta Ko te kōrero nui katoa ka puta mō ngā tauhohenga, ko te mamae o te wāhi i werohia ai, ko te ānini o te māhunga, ko te rongo rānei i te ngenge, i te ruha rānei. Tērā pea ka rangona hoki te mamae o ngā uaua, te māuiui noa iho nei, te hūwiniwini, te kirikā, te mamae o ngā ponapona me te whakapai ruaki. He tohu tēnei e whaihua ana te kano ārai mate. Pēnei i ngā rongoā katoa, tērā pea he mate āpiti ka pā atu ki ētahi tāngata. Ko aua mate rā ka kitea nuitia ana, ka māmā noa iho i te nuinga o te wā, ka mutu kāore e roa ana te mate, ā, ehara i te mea mā ērā e aukati tō whai i te tuarua o ngā kano ārai mate, e whakararu rānei ō mahi o ia rā. Ka pā pea ētahi mate āpiti ki tō kaha ki te hautū waka, ki te whakamahi mīhini rānei. He wā ōna ka puta ētahi mate pāwera kino nei, engari me uaua ka kitea. Kua whakangungua ā mātou kaiwhāngai i te tangata ki te kano ārai mate kia whakahaerehia ēnei āhuatanga.

He tautoko atu anō, he pārongo atu anō hoki Ki te pāngia koe e ngā tohumate e hāngai ana pea ki a KOWHEORI-19, pērā i te maremare hou e auau ana, i te teitei o te pāmahana, i te kirikā rānei, i te korenga rānei, i te panonitanga rānei o ō tairongo māori ā-tako rānei, ā-ihu rānei, e noho ki te kāinga, whakaritea hoki kia whakamātautauria tō tinana mō KOWHEORI-19. Mēnā kāore koe i te mōhio ki te āhua o ō tohumate, ki te kino haere rānei ō tohumate, waeahia te Healthline mā te 0800 358 5453. Mēnā he māharahara inamata tōu e pā ana ki tō haumarutanga, waeahia te 111, ka āta kī atu ai ki a rātou kua werohia koe ki te kano ārai i a KOWHEORI-19 kia tika ai tā rātou tirotiro i a koe. www.health.govt.nz/covid-vaccine
