Heketoto - ko te mokopapa me te heke o te toto hei hononga kaupapa Taonga Tukuiho - ko te pupuri i ngā kupu kōrero katoa e pā ana ki Te Rangihouhiri kia kore rā e warewaretia. Ngā Wāhi Haere   Tawhitirahi He kāinga tawhito nō Ngāi Te Rangi i noho ai a Rōmainohorangi mē ko tōna mōkai tui.  I whakaeke a Ngāti Hā i te pā i hinga a Rōmainohorangi ka whai atu rā rātou te ara ki te Mōtu.  Ka tae atu rātou ki Te Whakaroa i reirā kua mau i a Waho Te Rangi nō Ngāti Hokaia.

He kupu whakamutunga ka hoki atu ki ngā kupu ā Turirangi Te Kani “Ko Uenuku koe tāwhana i te rangi ko Ngāi Te Rangi e.”   Hauraki Cross Claims Our mana and rangatiratanga over our rohe is being challenged by Hauraki and the Crown. We have sought the intervention of the Waitangi Tribunal as a means of attempting to protect the rohe of Ngāi Te Rangi. The Crown has been notified that we will not progress our own treaty settlement until a satisfactory resolution of Hauraki cross claims is achieved.   What is Mana Whenua? The ability to influence and exercise control and guardianship of the land, as a result of take (rights) and continued use or occupation (ahi kā)   Where do Ngāi Te Rangi assert Mana Whenua? Ngāi Te Rangi has mana whenua from Waiorooro in the north to Te Awa o Wairākei in the south including the harbour and its waterways, the inner and outer islands and territorial sea.   What do we want to achieve? To uphold the mana and identity of Ngāi Te Rangi in Tauranga Moana. That all redress offered to Hauraki in Tauranga Moana is removed. That tikanga Māori is applied to resolve settlement disputes, including the requirement for hui a iwi kanohi ki te kanohi at the location of the whenua at issue. What are we doing to achieve this? We have undertaken the following actions to seek resolution:   Continued efforts to meet with Hauraki kanohi ki te kanohi to discuss issues. Hauraki refuse to meet in Tauranga. In 2016, an ope of 60 Tauranga Moana members went to Thames to meet with the Hauraki Collective. Subsequent to this meeting, Hauraki have declined two separate invitations by our pakeke to meet at Otawhiwhi Marae. Clearly and consistently advocated our position to the Crown and provided solutions to resolving issues. This has involved several meetings with the Minister and OTS directors, and numerous letters of correspondence. Submissions to the Maori Affairs Select Committee raising our concerns and engagement with Members of Parliament. Established an alliance with other iwi and hapu who are experiencing similar issues with Hauraki. Through this alliance, we have sought the support of the Iwi Chairs Forum, and initiated a process to develop a new cross claims policy. Supported Ngāti Whātua Orākei litigation against the Crown and Marutūāhu that contends that tikanga Māori must be adhered to in treaty settlement processes. Delayed the Ngāi Te Rangi Settlement Bill until the issues are resolved. Filed under urgency with the Waitangi Tribunal in February requesting removal of all redress in the Hauraki Deed of Settlement that is located in the rohe of Ngāi Te Rangi. Next steps? To seek that the Tribunal progresses our application with urgency. Since we filed, the Crown has sought time extensions from the Tribunal to respond to our application which is causing delays. Delays are not helpful to us because they increase the possibility of the Hauraki Settlement being signed with all redress in issue being retained. If the Hauraki Settlement is signed with the redress in issue being retained, it becomes more difficult for Ngai Te Rangi to stop Hauraki from gaining rights in the Ngāi Te Rangi rohe.   Discontinue engaging with the Office of Treaty Settlements until they are willing to enter into a resolution process that is fair and meaningful and which deals with all issues. At present, the Crown is not willing to resolve all of our concerns with Hauraki redress in Tauranga Moana. Continue to support and engage with iwi allies. Continue to advocate and seek support for the Ngai Te Rangi position including engagement with iwi, hapu, local government, media, Members of Parliament. Prepare for alternative legal options if the Waitangi Tribunal does not find in our favour. Continue to advocate our position on the marae through whaikōrero, karanga, waiata.

I didn’t have a desire to attend University at that time and wanted entry straight into the work force. I was fortunate and secured the opportunity and as they say the rest was history.   The greatest piece of advice you have ever received “Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for your whānau and yourself, through hard work and not giving up”   Your greatest career achievements Enabling whānau to purchase their first home via finance. Been apart of this moment is very special.   In additional to this, it would of been my first managerial appointment of a Branch. This was special for me, as it was something that I worked very hard at and wanted to achieve for a long period for my whānau and I. And finally,starting the ASB Māori Business team 7 years ago. Which provides specialisted support to iwi and Māori organisations with financing solutions.   When you are not working what do you enjoy doing? Spending quality time with my whānau. Watching and supporting the best sport team in the world, Ngā Pāpaka o Rangataua. I have also started training for my first Ironmāori in December, which I am looking forward to. What Super rugby team and NRL Team do you support? Chiefs and in the NRL The Warriors   If someone was interested in your career field what advice do you have for them and what is needed to achieve this? Work hard and focus on gaining a Tertiary degree with business major, you will note that I didn’t, however this now has become the norm in the industry and I performed my studies later in life.   I would also be happy to talk anyone who would be interested  in Banking and Finance as a career .
