Media Release re Outcome of Hauraki Overlapping Claims Waitangi Tribunal Inquiry

17/12/2019

0 Comments

Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Ranginui Settlement Trust (Settlement Trust) is pleased that the Tribunal has upheld its concerns regarding Pare Hauraki Collective Redress Deed.

The Tribunal has found that, among other things, the Crown provided additional redress (including provisions relating to Tauranga Moana) without undertaking a robust overlapping claims process. The Tribunal found that this created fresh grievances for the claimants, and was in breach of the principle of active protection and of the duty to avoid creating fresh grievances. The Tribunal also agreed with Ngāti Ranginui that provisions relating to Tauranga Moana included in the Pare Hauraki Collective Redress Deed had significant implications.

Te Pio Kawe, Chairman of the Settlement Trust says “Tauranga Moana has always been the primary motivation for the Settlement Trust in these proceedings. The moana is integral to Ngāti Ranginui’s cultural identity.”

Mr Kawe is also pleased with the Tribunal’s recommendation that the legislation giving effect to the Pare Hauraki Collective Redress Deed (and individual Hauraki iwi settlement deeds) not proceed until the contested redress items have been through a proper overlapping claims process.
“A tikanga-based resolution process is something that the Settlement Trust has advocated for several years. We look forward to engaging with the Crown and Hauraki iwi to implement the Tribunal’s recommendation.”

NGĀTI TE WAI HAPŪ NOMINATED PRIMARY TRUSTEE CANDIDATE PROFILES

25/9/2019

0 Comments

Riki Nelson

Ko Mātaatua, Tākitimu ōku waka
Ko Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāi te Rangi ōku iwi
Ko Ngāti te Wai te hapū
Ko Hikurangi te maunga
Ko Tuapiro te Awa
Ko Tuapiro te Marae
Ko Riki Nelson tōku ingoa

Kia Ora te whānau o Tuapiro,
I have been the PSGE rep for our hapū for the past 2 years. It has been a privilege to represent our people, and it is also a role I am fully committed to. As many of you know I have been at the front lines of all the protests in Tauranga Moana fighting against those threats facing you as mana whenua. At times I have been a lone voice but staunch in the face of any adversity fighting for our hapū.

I am committed to delivering real benefits back to you, like jobs, opportunities and address all those important issues that impact us. I have developed key strategic relationships that are returning big outcomes for our whānau.

One example is up to 8 part-time or full-time jobs with DOC, and with many more to come. I have a reasonable grasp of the legislation, statutory acknowledgements and expectations that come into effect on settlement, which is why I have focused on developing robust governance structures within the hapū settlement trust in order to deliver or receive.

I have established a strong Resource Management unit with comprehensive reporting that has delivered big outcomes like Protection of significant sites, environment and wiping rates among the many outcomes I have delivered in the past 2 years as your rep.

I head a Hauraki crossclaims committee focused on negotiating with individual iwi, so our hapū needs a strong and capable rep with historical knowledge to fight these battles. Who would you put your confidence in going up against Paul Majury? I’ll be the first into battle and the first to pick up the taiaha, so whānau get your votes in and send an overwhelming message that you want me to finish this fight.

Mauri Ora!

Mary Morunga-Tuapawa

Kia Ora,

Ko Mary Morunga-Tuapawa toku ingoa.
I am known to whanau as “Kusei”. Born 1951 – Waihi. Eldest of eight siblings. My husband and I have five children, nineteen grandchildren and nine great grand children.

I have had a business in Kiwifruit contracting for approx 5 to 7 years. Since the late 1980’s to 2016 I have been Secretary or Treasurer for Te Runanga o Tuapiro/Tuapiro Marae. In 2016 I was nominated as chairman for both entities.

Back in Whakamana days with Nepia and Mutu Bryan, I took part in Treaty Claims for 2 years. For the last 30 years this hapū has struggled to get where we are today.

My vision for this position as Primary Trustee for Ngati Ranginui (PSCE) and our hapū is to move forward and get our claims settled as soon as possible.

Mauri Ora.

Uenukurangi – Vision Ranginui

Kia ora ngā uri o Ngāti Ranginui,

Vision Ranginui seeks to hear the voices of whānau and hapū to develop a united vision for Ngāti Ranginui. Vision Ranginui is about capturing the aspirations of whānau and hapū to build a strong future for Ngāti Ranginui. Vision Ranginui is a collaboration of three Ngāti Ranginui Entities, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Ranginui, Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Ranginui Settlement trust and Ngāti Ranginui Fisheries Trust. The common thread throughout is that we are all responsible to Ngā uri o Ngāti Ranginui.

This project is managed by a governance board consisting of two (2) representatives from each of the aforementioned entities. They are Charlie Rahiri & Andrea Laison (Ngāti Ranginui Fisheries), Hemoata Willison & Steph Taiapa (Ngā Hapū o Ngāti Ranginui Settlement Trust) and Tawharangi Nuku and Donna Ngaronoa Gardiner (Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Ranginui).

UENUKURANGI is a name provided by our Koroua Morehu Ngatoko Rahipere for this project. Uenukurangi is the Mauri placed upon Te Toka a Tirikawa by the eponymous tupuna Tamatea Arikinui on the arrival of Takitimu waka in Tauranga. It is a symbol of hope and a promise of prosperity for all descendants of our ancestral waka.

Workshops & Symposium

Our first workshop began on 19th September with our Kaumātua followed by another workshop open to all from ages 14 up. Our Ahi Kā workshop was delivered the next day and there are two workshops remianing. The first will be delivered on 25 September for Rangatahi (ages 14 to 18) and the final workshop open to all (ages 14 up) on the 26th September before the Symposium being held on 5-6 October.

To see photos and korero from the events that have already been held feel free to visit the Vision Ranginui Facebook page. Be sure to register for the upcoming workshops at www.visionranginui.com or simply turn up at the event.
