Puawai Tanga Heke TenanaIn June, we were all saddened by the passing of Puawai Tanga Heke Te Nana, known to most of us as Bloss. Puawai was a staunch supporter of Te Rawhiti Marae and was very interested in everything going on in and around Rawhiti. In spite of her health problems she managed to get home to meetings and hui. Puawai was passionate about te reo me nga waiata maori, and composed several waiata, one of which we were lucky enough to record. Many Rawhiti whanau called into her little flat in Whangarei for a cuppa, a catch up, to drop off ika or pipi...or to stay the night.

Nathan Woods

In the same week Peggy Woods (daughter of Te Aue-Anne) son Nathan died and was brought home to lay in our tupuna whare. Nathan was laid to rest at Rautawa Urupa, Omakiwi. We were very lucky to have him here at all, as the whanau encountered some resistance from Nathans paternal side who had other plans for him.

Raymond HetaLast week Ray Heta, son of Bella and Jim died in Whangarei Hospital. Initially it was thought he had pneumonia, and he was transferred from Kawakawa to Whangarei where he suffered a heart attack. Ray was 43 and had four children and one mokopuna.

Harepo TetaiHarepo(Charlie) TeTai passed away on July 17 in Kawakawa after a long illness, aged 70. Harepo was a mokopuna of Mita TeTai, who was a brother of Kiritapu Te Nana.

No reira e nga whanaunga, haere atu koutou I te huarahi kua takahia atu e o tatou maatua tuupuna kua ngaro atu I te po, waihotia mai nga mea papai I mahia e koutou hei whakamaharatanga ki a koutou, haere atu ki a ratou ma, haere atu ki te Torona o Ihoa.

Here is one of the flag designs that we get to choose from to use as our own ‘maori’ flag and the korero to go with it.BLACK   represents Te Korekore (the realm of potential being). It thus symbolises the long darkness from which the earth emerged, as well as signifying Rangi - the heavens, a male, formless,

floating, passive force.RED represents Te Whei Ao (coming into being). It symbolises Papatuanuku, the earth-mother, the sustainer of all living things, and thus both the land and active forces.WHITE represents Te Ao Marama (the realm of being and light). It symbolises the physical world, purity, harmony, enlightenment and balance.The spiral-like koru symbolic of a curling fern frond, represents the unfolding of new life, hope for the future and the process of renewal. There are 3 others. Te Whakaputanga is another.

Port Nicholson Block (Taranaki Whanui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika) Claims Settlement Bill. In a speech in Parliament, Rahui Katene, MP for Te Tai Tonga, spoke on behalf of the Maori Party in support of Taranaki Whānui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika and the in-tention to establish a Parliamentary Commissioner for the Treaty to review and monitor progress of the Treaty settlements and the whole settlement system. Our member on the Committee, Hone Harawira, told them of the agonising concerns regarding the opt-out clause. Some Ngati Tama have opted out of this settlement so instead they seek to renego-tiate for their own exclusive settlement within the same area.   Ngati Tama felt that Ngati Tama have not been well served in the process. The Waitangi Tribunal report – Te Whanganui a Tara me ona Takiwa – in making reference to iwi that have unresolved issues states that: “Leave is granted to the parties to seek more specific recommendations (from the Tribunal) if agreement cannot be reached”. Mr Quinn has noted, in the case of Ngati Tama, the committee does not recom-mend the use of opt-out clauses. The Committee’s view was that if some Ngāti Tama wish to negotiate a separate settlement they should form a single entity and achieve a mandate recognised by the Crown but the Crown should not be called upon to adjudicate differences within an iwi grouping as these are matters for iwi to resolve.

OMG! The Te Rawhiti Youth Wananga was really awesome. I especially enjoyed the paint balling on Tuesday and the mean feed, one thing that I didn’t enjoy was when my brother Wiremu Hook shot me in the thigh, it was really sore. I would like to thank Mariao Hohaia

the tutor, Aunty Barb, Aunty Vicki, Aunty Chanelle, Aunty Naini, Aunty Jacci, Aunty Wiki and all the parents and Tamariki who came!

By Kia Maia Hook-Henare

Far out, it was cool as at the Te Rawhiti youth noho we went paint balling and OMG I got shot in the bum! Hehehe so Maia says! We got loads of ammo…. I hope we go again! Some people on my own team were shooting me, Ouch! I would just like to make a special thanks to all the parent supporters and helpers for cooking our food and everything, and to Mariao for taking the time out to come and tutor us!! Also to the Tamariki for showing up and mak-

ing it an enjoyable stay! I cant wait until the next noho!

Te Taitamariki o te Rawhiti. Who are we? What do we do? This is a Youth Group programme that has been established in Rawhiti, under the umbrella

of Ngati Kuta me te Patu Keha raua ko Te Rawhiti Marae. Assisted by a awesome fulla named Mariao Hohaia we have been able to get this programme up and running.

Whats our kaupapa about? Put simply the programme targets young people aged 10-17 years and our kaupapa is to teach our youth about WHO THEY ARE, WHERE THEY COME FROM AND THE SOCIETY WE

LIVE IN.What I found different about this kaupapa is that the youth DRIVE THIS WAKA . Without their input it will not happen, and we (the parents) just make sure they stay on track and follow the road we lay down for them.Noho 1: we started 2009 with 1 of 3 three day Noho at the Marae, where youth are required to stay during that period. We started out with 17 interested youths and were delightfully surprised when our roll went to well over 30 youths. It was an interesting beginning and although we had a bumpy start it was great to meet many of our tai tamariki and watch them over the 3 days go from shy and unsure to talkative and confident. Noho 2  was held on the 6-8 of July 09, and by now the tai tamariki had a fair idea of which way our waka was going (so did I!).... it was a successful 3 days of karakia, waiata, pepeha,tetra mapping, camp drills, fry bread making, hearty kai ‘n desserts, games, movies and of course PAINTBALLING. Big Thanks to ALL the whanau that made it happen!!!!! Chanelle, Jacci, Naini, Wiki, Shirley, Barb , Francis... awesome job. To our tai tamariki too, who really raised the bar making the excitement for the group grow even more. Noho 3 is scheduled for the 28-30 sept 2009 and our tai tamariki will be visiting THE FARM....www.thefarm.co.nz/home ..... for the day, doing various activities, i.e motorbikes, horse trekking, swimming. In the meantime they are fundraising to help ease the cost. They set up a stall at Ngaiotonga Marae and although the weather kept many people away, the support from the kaumatua and kuia there was fantastic. Big THANK YOU to Aunty MINA for the uniforms. 

The Next Market Day is on Saturday15th August @ Ngaiotonga Marae, so please come and show your support and buy some of their goodies.Future fundraising plans are to lay down a hangi...  info will be posted about this at later date. 

Finally for tonight, action has been taken to keep the momentum up and now the group has elected that from T ues 4th August and every fortnight Tues there after  it will be a movie/meeting night   so parents please feel free to come along. Next fortnights movie will be SAVAGE ISLAND (YEAH) Other goals the roopu wish to incorporate into the kaupapa are a KAPA HAKA group, Touch Team, 8 ball Pool team, Ping pong team, and so much more. Any whanau help with any of the above goals would be greatly appreciated and once again if you have any question, please contact me either by email .....kiwiana45@gmail.com, or phone: 09 4038850 or even call into 103 Rawhiti Rd, Hauai Bay for a cuppa....

Vicki Heta

p .s although the main youth age is between 10-17 it by NO WAY Excludes our younger tamariki from paticipating in the fun or just coming to hang out with their cuzzies as long as Mum or Dad's around, ITS ALL GOOD!!!

 

You are welcome to attend the hui for nga tai-tamariki to sit, to participate, to show your support

Tuesday 21 July, 2009 Question Time, Parliament. Maori Flags were in the Chamber.

Labour List member, Kelvin Davis asked Minister of Maori Affairs, Dr Pita Sharples, what his priorities were for Maori development. He replied that they were to achieve whanau ora (family wellbeing) and tino rangatira (self determinination) in accordance with the promise of partnership in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Kelvin then asked that given that 400 to 500 Māori are joining the dole queue each week, did he not think it would have been better to hold 21 hui on Māori job creation or Māori educational underachievement than on a flag? The Minister said that he was actively focused on creating opportunities for employment for business and iwi industry through the economic task force. The Trade training programme was one where 250 places would be available for Maori trade trainees. The Minister said that tino rangatiratanga underpins all the work he does. The “National Business Review” praised that the Maori Party’s numerous progressive activities since taking office.

The full transcript will be on Te Rawhiti Marae website.

A unique and comprehensive partnership of many groups working to protect our native species has been formed in the Bay of Islands. This may be a first for New Zealand.

The Project Island Song Partners, coordinated through The Guardians of the Bay of Islands, are undertaking a pest control programme on the mainland from Orokawa eastwards. This programme forms a very important buffer zone to prevent re-invasion of pests such as rats and stoats onto the islands. It will also clean up the whole eastern Bay of Islands coastline. The Guardians are working with DOC, the Eastern Bay of Islands Preservation Society, the NZ Kiwi Foundation, Northland Regional Council, private landowners, the hapu of Te Rawhiti, Ngati Kuta and Patukeha, and their economic arm, Te Rawhiti Enterprises Ltd (TREL).

TREL’s Robert Willoughby, has co-ordinated the project along the coast adjacent to the islands and out to Cape Brett, from Orokawa to the Cape. Northland Polytechnic helped with training and Ministry of Social Development and Work and Income have provided solid support. Nga Whenua Rahui  (a fund set up to protect indigenous ecosystems on Maori land) is assisting the contractors employed by TREL, on the 3B2 Ahuwhenua Trust tribal lands on the Cape Brett peninsula.  These contractors will also be used to control pests on adjacent public conserva-tion land on the peninsula. Helen Harte, chairperson of TREL, said “We can’t stress enough the importance of the Bay of Islands project which Te Rawhiti has worked towards for years fulfilling our traditional caretaker role.”

The whole pest control project has been founded on very strong and productive relationships between all the agen-cies and organisations. This has been one of the highlights and successes of Project Island Song and of the Cape work. Mike Knight from NRC said “This level of cooperative working on pest control is unique in the area and is proving to be extremely effective.”

The group has recently submitted a co-ordinated and linked funding application to the Environment Fund, adminis-tered by Northland Regional Council. If successful this will build on the tremendous support provided by the Coun-cil on Te Rawhiti and Hauai lands. “This project really closes the loop of pest control in the whole Bay of Islands area” said Peter Ladd from the NZ Kiwi Foundation “It is a very important part of our commitment to protect kiwi and other bird populations and we are very pleased to be part of this great partnership.”

During the recent school holidays (July, 2009), Errol Baker, the farm manager from Elliot’s farm, Te Akau, con-tacted kaumatua Eruera Garland, to inform him that while going along the beach towards Te Pahii Pa, he noticed that some koiwi had been exposed along the sandbank during the recent storm.   Eruera contacted Richard (Blandy) Witehira and myself immediately and arranged to meet us at the area described by Errol. 

On Tuesday, 14 July, 2009, those in attendance were: Kaumatua Eruera and Ella Garland, Charmain and Bob Gray (daughter and son-in-law),Richard Witehira (Patukeha RMU), Marara Hook (Ngati Kuta RMU), her two mokop-una Kia Maia Hook (aged 11) and Awatea Hook (aged 10) and Sonny Hau, nephew and driver. Eruera had brought along a spade and bag in which to place the koiwi.  

The area was a good way along the beach towards Te Pahii.   Being on the open coast side and with a northerly wind coming in off the sea, a sandbank had built up over time and was as high as I am tall and about ?? so many meters in length. We arrived at the area to see some koiwi exposed, about waist high in this sandbank.

They were orange in colour and I must ask what the colour meant, I wonder if that would help to determine how long the koiwi had been there? 

Na Eruera I  whakamoemiti  whakawatea I te tuatahi me te tono manaakitanga ki runga ki enei koiwi me matou hoki iroto I enei mahi. 

They then began carefully digging and brushing aside the sand while we stood and watched in reverence, each one with his or her own thoughts as to how they came to be there, and how that particular person had died.  I had never experienced anything like this before and I couldn’t help feeling a little sad and aroha as this could have been one of our tuupuna. 

As they scraped the sand away, a skull appeared, it had been lying face down.   Other koiwi, like the leg and parts of the backbones were also exposed and all of these, were placed into a bag for later burial elsewhere.  Not far from where these koiwi were and to the right a bit,  two more protruded out from the sandbank which we recognized as hip bones but did not belong to the first lot of koiwi.   We just included these two with the other koiwi in the bag.   

We decided there and then not to continue further digging where the two hip bones were, as we had an idea that we would be there all day finding more and more.  We also agreed that we would bury these higher up the hillside un-der an old gnarled pohutukawa tree.

Blandy dug a shallow grave at the spot, and again, Eruera conducted  an appropriate blessing and re-burial of these koiwi with supporting prayers from Marara Hook. On the way home, it was decided to inform the police at the next Paihia and Russell Iwi and Community Support meeting to which Eruera and I had already attended one meeting on 17 June last. 

(Just as an aside those in attendance at that meeting were Inspector Cliff Paxton, Sergeant Peter Masters, Paihia, Willie More, Iwi Liaison Officer, Northland Division, Kerikeri Police Station, Wayne Martin, Fire Iwi Liaison Of-ficer.) On 15 July, 2009, Eruera, Blandy and I attended our second meeting with the above Group and it was there that the Report was given to them regarding the koiwi find.  They expressed a wish to come out to view the koiwi to ensure that they were not recent. They were to contact the Historical Places Trust and arrangements were made to meet at Elliot’s farm. 

Second Report for the second find of koiwi at Te Akau. 

On Thursday, 30 July, 2009, those in attendance at Elliot’s beach were: 

Kaumatua Eruera and Ella Garland, Richard Witehira (Patukeha RMU), his two mokopuna, Nina and Sophie, and Marara Hook (Ngati Kuta RMU), Errol and Helen Baker, farm manager and wife; Historical Places Trust: Atareiria Heihei, Bill Edwards, Sheila Norton; Police: Sergeant Peter Masters, Paihia. Mark Caswell, Russell. Willie More, Iwi Liaison Officer, Northland Division, Kerikeri Police. Te Pahii Trust: Peter Sharpe 

Again, Eruera conducted a whakamoemiti and Blandy Witehira acknowledged and greeted all present.  The ques-tion uppermost in our minds was “Where to from here?”  There was a fence at the bottom of the land side of the property which marked the boundary of Te Pahii whenua (belonging to someone else) and with the build up of sand over time on the beach side, meant that the koiwi found were in fact on Elliot’s property.   The first time we found nga koiwi, we discussed amongst ourselves the necessity of declaring the place a wahitapu and left it meantime un-til such time as we would consult the appropriate authorities. 

Bill Edwards, HPT, then donned his overalls and began digging in the area we found the odd two koiwi previ-ously.  More koiwi revealed themselves, together with a skull which had been lying face down.  We all took photos of the various stages of progress.  As the teeth were in relatively good condition, and the jaw was a particular shape, Bill thought that this was a young person and until he could see the pelvic bones, could not tell whether it was male or female, but he seemed to think it was female.   His overall report would determine that.   There was a hole in the back of the skull which was not the cause of death, he reckoned, but was there after the person died e.g. a post mortem incision, that was to be confirmed by him. 

There were further leg and backbone koiwi which were all placed into a small document filing box, having been photographed by Sheila Norton first.   When all exposed koiwi had been removed from the sandbank, Eruera, Blandy and I had had a discussion on the side as to what we should do with them.  Blandy was quite keen to re-move them out of there and taken to Rawhit, Eruera and I were agreeable with that, but it was necessary to notify Moka Puru first for his opinion, knowing that he had found some koiwi in front of Karaka Ahitapu’s shed years ago

which he had re-interred at Rautawa, Omakiwi.  Yes, he was agreeable and described the place where they should go, and that was against the far fence by the toolshed in the corner.    

So, we announced  to those present what we were going to do with them, we had a closing whakamoemiti and blessing, sang Ma Te Marie, and Eruera, Ella, Blandy, his 2 mokopuna and I hopped into our vehicles and made our way to Te Rautawa.   Eruera and Blandy dug a shallow grave, placed the box inside, had a re-interment whakamoemiti and that ended the proceedings for the day. 

So that’s the end of my Report of the second lot of koiwi found at Te Akau. 

The Historical Places Trust will be sending their Report, together with photographs, to Blandy who will forward them to us. Kia ora,

Marara Hook,
