NGA KORERO TUKU IHO HEARINGS

WINIATA MARAE

Wednesday 30th March — Friday 1st April 2016

NAU MAI HOKI MAI KI TE KAINGA

Ngā Kōrero Tuku Iho Hearings are the first Hearings to take place in our Inquiry District.

Ngāti Hinemanu me Ngāti Paki will present Oral and Traditional History to the Tribunal pre

twentieth century and how the arrival of the Crown and its agencies had an impact on our

tīpuna and the ongoing impact it has on the wellbeing of our Hapū and Iwi today.

The Hearings will include the following presentations;

Whakapapa, rohe site visits, Pokopoko (Winiata Te Whaaro), Cultural loss, Inter Hapu and Iwi

relationships, and our tīpuna Involvement in the Native Land Court.

Tena koutou e te Iwi,

Tēnei te mihi ki a koutou i runga i ngā ahuatanga o te wā. Ka mihi, ka tangi, ka tuku

poroporoaki ki ngā mate kua wheturangitia haere atu ra koutou ki o tātou mātua tīpuna…..

E moe ra.

E te Iwi kua tae te wā kia hoki i ngā maumahara ki ō tatou tīpuna i haere ki te Kooti Whenua

Maori kia whaiwhai mō te mana o te whenua me ngā kaitiakitanga mō ngā whakatipuranga.

He wero tēnei ki te karauna mō ngā he katoa kua pa ki runga i a tātou.

The Trust has been working over the past six months to finalise phase two research and

prepare for Waitangi Tribunal Hearings. We are commencing the first Hearing in March 2016

for Nga Korero Tuku Iho and then progressing to technical Hearings. More information is within

the Panui.

The Trust would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to the Claimants, Whanau and

Hapū for your ongoing support and as we approach the final stages of our case book we look

forward to a positive outcome and strong claim for Ngāti Hinemanu and Ngāti Paki which will

set the bench mark for our case to the Crown.

Registrations have increased but we have a little way to go. If whānau have not registered

please encourage them to do so ASAP. We know there are many whānau who still need to

register.
