Press Release: Ngati Rahiri Tumutumu

MEDIA RELEASE7 August 2018

Ngāti Rahiri Tumtumu said today it refused to sign the Pare Hauraki Collective Deed of Settlement at Parliament last Friday, because to do so would be disingenuous. Only 5 of the 12 Iwi of Hauraki signed last week.

The majority did not sign for a number of reasons, but mainly to complete overlapping claims; to follow a proper tikanga process and to resolve tensions between Tauranga and Hauraki Iwi.

Ngāti Rahiri Tumutumu Negotiator, Jill Taylor said: “As Ngāti Rahiri Tumutumu we are committed to a tikanga process, we are committed to doing what is right, what is tikanga. We acknowledge our whakapapa to Ngati Ranginui. We will not sign until after the tikanga process has been completed.

“There are tensions and issues that need to be resolved; as evidenced by the protests by both Hauraki and Tauranga Iwi during the signing. We’re meant to be resolving grievances not creating new ones. Running off to Wellington to sign and then coming back to do a tikanga process is disingenuous and lacks credibility and mana,” she said.

On the 5 June a tikanga process was initiated by Ngāti Paoa at Wharekawa marae in Kaiaua. Iwi from Hauraki, Tauranga and Tāmaki attended to discuss a Tikanga process to help resolve the overlapping claims.

“Ngāti Rahiri Tumutumu look forward to continuing the Tikanga process as it provides a genuine Maori solution to fix the trouble that has been created by the Crown’s flawed overlapping claims policy. Tikanga is important to us. When it comes to tikanga we will always take our direction and guidance from our Kaumatua,” Ms Taylor said.

The 5 Iwi who signed were: The 7 Iwi who did not sign were:
Ngāti Maru Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki
Ngāti Tamaterā Ngāti Hako
Ngāti Whanaunga Ngāti Hei
Ngāti Tara Tokanui Ngāti Paoa
Te Patukirikiri Ngāti Porou ki Hauraki
Ngāti Pukenga
Ngāti Rahiri Tumutumu

Kia ora,

Further to our October email advising that "We are looking to progress a Ngāti Paoa – Ngāti Ranginui Kawenata process" we are pleased to advise that we will be signing a Kawenata Tapu (Sacred Covenant) with Ngāti Paoa on Saturday, 16 December 2017. Ngāi Te Rangi and Ngāti Pūkenga will be doing the same. The signing ceremony will be held at  Maungatapu Marae, commencing at 8:30am.

To enhance the mana of this event Ngāti Paoa plan to be accompanied by their waka taua Kotuiti Tuarua. Our waka Takitimu will be on the water to receive Kotuiti Tuarua and Ngāi Te Rangi are investigating the possibility of the waka Mataatua Toi participation.

We would value your attendance and support at this significant event and appreciate you sharing this communication with ngā uri o Ngāti Ranginui who may not have a registered email address.
