HAKIHEA / DECEMBER 2016
E Rangi e,
Haruru ana a Maungaharuru, whenewhene ana a Tangitū, pōkēao katoa ana a Tangoio i tō popohetanga. Ko rāwakiwaki, ko karerā, ko apakura i haere ngātahi ai i a ;ni, i a mano, mōhau rā te take. I pango tō marae i runga i tō karanga ki te motu.
I korohikohiko;a koe e ōhau ake, e ōhau ake pānga, e tō hāhī, e tō iwi. I waipuke;a te whenua e roimata, e hūpē. Na te aha i pērā ai? He kaha nōhau ki te kumanu i te tangata, ki te tauwhiro i te tangata, ki te tau;aki i te tangata ahakoa ko wai, ahakoa nō hea.
I whakatangetange riaka koe ki te ārahi i tō rahinga kia kounga ake ai
tana noho. I whakapeto ngoi koe ki te hāpai i ngā kupu o te Māramatanga. Mei kore koe i whakao; pai ai te kokoraho nā tō pāpā i huataki, nā, kua whai rawa tō puninga, ō kārangarangatanga maha. Ehara i te mea ā-‐pūtea nei, ā-‐rawa nei anake, engari kua whai rawa mātau i āhau nā mahi, i āhau nā kōrero, i ōhau nā mōhiotanga.
Ko te Bmatanga o te whakaaro nui, kia mōhio ki a koe anō. I ;no mōhio koe ki a koe anō, ā, i ;no mōhio koe ki te whakapapa o tēnā, o tēnā, ki ngā kōrero o tōhau nā ake rohe.
Ko tō pai, he kaimārire, he manawa whakapono, he tūpore, he marae.
Kai te whakaāīō o te whenua, kai te whakatāhuna o te ngaru, kai te
Ahorangi o Punanga te Wao, ko te āunga o tō moe e māuruuru nei i a ngākau pōritarita.
E moe, e moe.
It is with great sadness that we remember our treasured kaumātua Frederick Roy Maadi Re; who passed away on 28 September 2016.
We appreciate Fred’s monumental contribu;on to our Whānau, Hapū, Marae, Iwi and Hāhi, and in par;cular his work over the last 30 years to progress and seVle our historical claims under the Treaty of Waitangi.

Fred Re' is a descendant of Ngāi Tauira, Marangatūhetaua, Ngā' Kurumōkihi and Ngā' Hineuru. His parents are Te Otane Re' and Hine Te Aomarama (nee Sullivan). However, he was brought up by his great-‐grandaunt Hinenukua-‐o-‐te-‐Rangi Sullivan (nee Anaru) and his great-‐grandfather, Te Rāroa-‐o-‐te-‐Rauma' Matuahu Sullivan. Fred called them his nannies.
In Fred’s own words: “I was not brought up like other children my age. …I was kept in the company of elders, and travelled from marae to marae. On their travels, my nannies would stop and show me the important places to our people. They would teach me about our history. I know now that they were preparing me to receive and hold this knowledge for the benefit of our people.”
Fred was therefore des'ned to be a taonga for our Hapū. In the 1990’s he gave evidence in the Waitangi Tribunal’s hearings on WAI 55, Te Whanganui-‐ā-‐Orotu (the claim about the Napier Inner Harbour) and WAI 299, Mōhaka-‐Waikare Raupatu (the claim about the confisca'on of our lands). In addi'on, he completed significant research examining the whakapapa of grantees who received blocks of land from the Crown following the raupatu of our lands.
More recently, Fred has given evidence in various court cases, including Environment Court
cases to protect Maungaharuru from windfarms, and to protect Tangitū from Pan Pac’s effluent pipe extension.
Fred was a 'reless worker behind the scenes as well. He was on the claims commi]ee for WAI 55 (his father was an original claimant) and was a founding member of Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū Incorporated from its establishment in 1992 'll a^er se]lement in 2013. He was then an ini'al Trustee of the Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū Trust and Te Waiū Trust (which holds the lake beds at Tū'ra and Opouahi). He helped usher our claims from the 'me they were filed to the day they were se]led.
A^er se]lement, Fred re'red from the Board and became a member of the newly formed Kāhui Kaumātua. He provided advice and exper'se in Te Reo, whakapapa, 'kanga, kawa and our history. He also worked on
iden'fying and protec'ng pā, urupā and other sites of significance to our Hapū.
Tania Hopmans (MTT Trustee) explains: “Uncle Fred was integral to what we’ve done, who we are and where we are going”.
Fred made a varied and life-‐long contribu'on to our Hapū in so many ways, too many to cover in this short kōrero. As an Āpotoro Rēhita he provided spiritual guidance and comfort to those in anguish. In his day job, he helped those with mental and other health issues. His mahi was taumaha (heavy), but he never stopped helping whānau and others alike. It probably helped that Fred had a great sense of humour and a sharp wit.
Fred was always mindful of whakapapa and concerned about whānau looking a^er whānau, hapū looking a^er hapū -‐ celebra'ng what we have in common and respec'ng our differences.
Above all, Fred was hūmārie (beau'ful, peaceful, good natured). He was a leader who served Ihoa and his people with all his heart.

On Wednesday 12 October 2016 a Rā Whakamaumahara (Memorial Day) was held. This date was the 150-‐year anniversary of the aFack on our Hapū, NgāM Matepū, NgāM Hineuru and others at Herepoho (Eskdale) and Omarunui (pā site near Taradale).
HAKIHEA / DECEMBER 2016
In 1866, the Crown and Māori loyal to the Crown, aFacked members of our Hapū, NgāM Hineuru and others staying at Omarunui and ambushed a group at Herepoho. It is believed members of our Hapū were among those that were killed.
Our Hapū members and others who survived the aFacks were taken as prisoner, held without trial for two years, in harsh condiMons in Rēkohu (Wharekauri / Chatham Island).
The prisoners escaped with Te KooM, but some were later captured by the Crown and executed without trial at Ngatapa in 1869.
The Crown saw our Hapū as “rebels” and sought to punish them through raupatu (confiscaMon). The Crown took most of our land (that had not been sold) and exMnguished our customary ownership.
In 2004 the Waitangi Tribunal found the Crown was unjusMfied in its aFacks and its pursuit of
the escapees and unlawfully confiscated land from our Hapū.
In 2013 the Crown acknowledged that those aFacks, the detenMon without trial in Rēkohu, and the execuMons were injusMces and breached the Treaty of Waitangi.

This year 2016, Tangoio Marae has lost loving whānau members including George Re? Snr, Isobell Puna, Fred Re?, and Parahi Wine? (Aunty Molly). We remember them and also those for who we had unveilings, Paku Nathan Neera and Hinehika Taurima (Aunty Bebe). Our aroha goes out to all our Hapū whānau who have lost loved ones.
At this ?me, Tangoio Marae is going through change with the ?kanga hui presented by our Kaumātua. Signs are being placed at the Urupā (cemetery) gates to prevent/stop people from ea?ng, drinking alcohol, smoking, using drugs, taking photos and videos in our cemetery, and to keep to our kawa and ?kanga of this area. This is the res?ng place of our Ranga?ra.
We are exploring building a tobacco smoking area which will be covered and have sea?ng for our whānau who smoke tobacco.
The Marae CommiVee have been busy improving our kitchen in Tangitū. The old storage room has been remodelled to house the new oven and rangehood. There is also a new fridge-‐freezer and
the chiller has been repaired. The floors have been freshly painted. Funding for the upgrade was obtained from the MaraeFit project, Has?ngs District Council and Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū Trust.
Ongoing maintenance and repairs are being done around our Marae and our equipment is being replaced slowly, tea towels, buckets, mops, cups etc.
A big thank you goes out to Hoani Taurima for his ongoing mahi around our Marae and cemetery. A big thank you to Elaine Cook, Denise Taunoa, Huia Whyte-‐Puna and many others for their help and assistance with the mahi they do around our Marae.
On behalf of the Marae CommiVee & Trustees we would like to thank all the whānau of Tangoio Marae for their pa?ence and ongoing support.

Throughout November, 38 of our rangatahi got their Learner Driver Licence for free. They spent a morning in the Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū Trust (MTT) office going over the road rules before heading off to sit their tests. Hōri ReH did a great job teaching and calming nerves. The pass rate was 100%!
Emma Winiata said “it was an awesome learning experience with the whānau, nice and relaxed environment. Georgie is a meke teacher!”.
Amy ReH described the course as “amazing. A whānau orientated rōpū learning liYle tricks in a fun, supporHve, stress-‐free manner.”
MTT received funding for the licences from Hawke’s Bay Regional Council. The purpose of their fund is to reduce crashes, lower the amount of people in the jusHce system and improve employment prospects.

As part of the Cultural Redress in our Treaty Se6lement, four Reserves will be returned to our Hapū. We will then giA the reserves back to the people of Aotearoa, NZ, one week later.
The Reserves are:
on Maungaharuru:
• Boundary Stream Scenic Reserve;
• Bellbird Bush Scenic Reserve;
• Balance of the Opouahi Scenic Reserve;
and on the coast of Tangitū:
• Whakaari Landing Place Reserve.
The transfer of ownership will happen during a ceremony on Thursday 12 January 2017 at Tangoio Marae. This date is significant as it is the 150-‐year anniversary of the raupatu (confiscaTon) of our lands.
We will run events throughout the week including:
• wāhi taonga visits and kōrero;
• camping at Opouahi for whānau;
• canoeing Lake Opouahi;
• caving at Opouahi;
• kiwi experience;
• hīkoi (walks);
• TūTra Wānanga;
• rongoā kōrero; and
• workshops.
We will have a ceremony to giA the Reserves back to the people of New Zealand on Wednesday 18 January 2017 at Tangoio Marae.
The details will be available in pānui on Facebook, email and on our website at www.tangoio.maori.nz/events.

In August, we went to the Environment Court to oppose Pan Pac’s extension of their effluent discharge pipe. It was important that we asserted our mana moana and tried to protect Tangitū. Unfortunately, the Judge has ruled against us.
Our whanaunga witnesses did our Hapū proud in Court: Kaumātua Bevan Taylor, Fred ReL, MaLu Eru, and whānau
Aroha Taurima, Hōri ReL, Hoani Taurima, Shane Hiha, and Tania Hopmans.
It was really important that the Judge and the Commissioners heard our concerns first hand, and saw what we feel for Tangitū. What our witnesses said had an impact. It also helped that we packed out the Courtroom with Hapū support.
Above leT to right: Trustee Shane Hiha takes the witness stand in the Environment Court; witnesses Aroha Taurima and Hōri ReL, speaking on behalf of our mokopuna and rangatahi.
Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū Trust thanks whānau for your work and your support. The Trustees are now considering what the next step will be in light of Pan Pac’s plans to renew it’s discharge consent next year.
We are conLnuing to protect our wāhi taonga (sites of significance) under the HasLngs District Plan.
We have been through mediaLon with the HasLngs District Council and landowners.
As a result, 37 of our wāhi taonga are included in the HasLngs District Plan.
We have appealed to the Environment Court to try to protect more of our sites.
The court date will be around March 2017. We will put pānui on Facebook and email so whānau have the opportunity to come and support.
Improving the mauri of Tū'raOur “TūLra mai ngā iwi” project has started. We will have a wānanga about our Hapū values, prioriLes and issues regarding TūLra at 10am Friday 13 January 2017 at Tangoio Marae. Come along and express your whakaaro (thoughts) or email them to [email protected].
We have contracted a project manager, Te Kaha Hawaikirangi (NgāL Paarau, NgāL Hinepare, Ngāi Tāwhao, NgāL Māhu).
Te Kaha has experience working for the Department of ConservaLon on Maungaharuru and for the Hawkes’s Bay Regional Council. Te Kaha also
works with his hapū to improve the mauri of his awa, Tutaekuri.
We welcome Te Kaha as part of our team.
As part of the Cultural Redress in our Treaty Se6lement, four Reserves will be returned to our Hapū. We will then giA the reserves back to the people of Aotearoa, NZ, one week later.
The Reserves are:
on Maungaharuru:
• Boundary Stream Scenic Reserve;
• Bellbird Bush Scenic Reserve;
• Balance of the Opouahi Scenic Reserve;
and on the coast of Tangitū:
• Whakaari Landing Place Reserve.
The transfer of ownership will happen during a ceremony on Thursday 12 January 2017 at Tangoio Marae. This date is significant as it is the 150-‐year anniversary of the raupatu (confiscaTon) of our lands.
We will run events throughout the week including:
• wāhi taonga visits and kōrero;
• camping at Opouahi for whānau;
• canoeing Lake Opouahi;
• caving at Opouahi;
• kiwi experience;
• hīkoi (walks);
• TūTra Wānanga;
• rongoā kōrero; and
• workshops.
We will have a ceremony to giA the Reserves back to the people of New Zealand on Wednesday 18 January 2017 at Tangoio Marae.
The details will be available in pānui on Facebook, email and on our website at www.tangoio.maori.nz/events.

On behalf of our Hapū, Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū Trust (MTT) has recently invested in 25% of Elwood Road Holdings Limited (ERHL) known as the Tomoana Food Hub. It is a parJally-‐developed property hub, located at Elwood Road on the outskirts of HasJngs.
This investment supports the core business of Hawke’s Bay – food and beverage processing and logisJcs. Food-‐processing zoned industrial land is scarce in the Bay yet the food industries are booming. Therefore, the investment has exciJng growth prospects and a forecast of good financial performance.
Another important benefit is that in future there will be employment opportuniJes for our Hapū in the tenant businesses located at the Hub.
We are developing a genuine partnership with the Taylor whānau, who own the remainder of ERHL. The Taylors have been in Hawke’s Bay for
four generaJons and are highly experienced in property development and food logisJcs. As the Hub is located outside our takiwā (tradiJonal area), we have discussed our investment with the tāngata whenua, represented by He Toa TakiJni. We hope that we can collaborate with them in the near future. We have engaged with a number of Iwi and we are seeking an addiJonal partner that might be interested in forming a Limited Partnership with MTT and invesJng in 25% of ERHL.
The Tomoana Food Hub investment fits the criteria in our Investment Framework and Statement of Investment Policy and ObjecJves (SIPO), which are available on our website.
This investment diversifies our asset base, is a locally based asset that can be managed acJvely and produces a strong financial return. Tom Manaena (Chair of MTT) will be a Board
Director of the Hub.
There are three tenants currently in the Hub:
• Tomoana Warehousing Ltd (owned by the Taylor whānau);
• Jamestrong Packaging Ltd that provides can manufacturing for Wa]e’s (Wa]e’s being located on an adjacent site);
• and the export company New Zealand Water Ltd (Miracle).
Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū Trust has carefully considered the investment in the Tomoana Food Hub. The Trust is pleased that our investment will benefit our Hapū with a forecast of good financial performance and tenant companies providing job opportuniJes.

Jessica McGregor has joined the MTT team, to undertake research on her favourite kaupapa -‐ rongoā (tradi=onal Māori medicine).
The two-‐year Vision Mātauranga project is called “Realising the poten=al of Rongoā in Maungaharuru-‐Tangitū”.
The purpose of the project is to gain insights into the poten=al and challenges for the use of rongoā by our Hapū, and to
create a Hapū rongoā archive.
Jessica explains another purpose is to “encourage our own to become the researchers, to take ownership of the research space within our Hapū and really personalise the saying "by our Hapū, for our Hapū".
Jessica is undergoing a research placement with Shore Whariki Research Group at Massey University in Auckland as part of this capability building.

The Kāhui Kaumātua has been established to advise MTT on Te Reo, whakapapa, =kanga, kawa and our history. The Kāhui consists of Bevan Taylor, Ma=u Eru, Trevor Taurima, Joe Taylor and May Karai=ana.
The Kāhui Kaumātua held a Hui-‐ā-‐Kaumātua on Friday 2 December, followed by a Christmas Lunch at Napier RSA.
At the Hui Bevan Taylor explained that the Kāhui “are the eyes, ears and waha for the Kaumātua katoa.”
The Hui was an opportunity to reflect on the year and the ways the Kāhui Kaumātua have supported the mahi of MTT. For example, in the Pan Pac court case, Wāhi Taonga project, and Te Ara Kairangi rangatahi
leadership programme.
The Kāhui Kaumātua have ac=vi=es in mind that they want to promote for our Kaumātua in 2017. Bevan also said they “look forward to suppor=ng the rangatahi; te reo mō āpōpō.”
