Proposal to change Rimutaka to Remutaka
Posted by karere under Maori News
A Waitangi Tribunal proposal to change the spelling of the Rimutaka area to Remutaka has not been a popular one. A new tribunal report for the Wairarapa and Tararua region says the Rimutaka Hill Rd and region should be Remutaka, the historical Maori version, and the change would be recommended to the Geographical Board. The Dominion Post reported that the name change proposal has come as a surprise to many who are either calling for a debate on the matter or wondering who will pay for the signage.

Tekau Plus companies provide a unique tast of Maori culture in Los Angeles
Posted by karere under Maori News
Wellington, NZ, June 29, 2010 – Navigator Tours Marketing Director, John Panoho, said today that the Tekau Plus Maori Agribusiness Project is playing an essential role in increasing the market competitiveness of some of the country’s hottest Maori made brands. “In terms of marketing foods and beverages that come with a unique Maori story and provenance, Tekau Plus provides a collective offering that has yet to be matched. It’s created a platform that enables Maori businesses to show case their unique point of difference to international markets.” Panoho recently returned to Aotearoa from Los Angeles where he hosted a full day co-marketing event with Air New Zealand at the Air New Zealand Koru Lounge.

Having a degree can be a definite asset in many careers. But what if you left school early and passed Go for your first pay cheque before getting one? What if, instead of studying for three or four years for a degree, your existing knowledge and experience is mapped against the criteria for a degree? The answer may be to get a qualification through a process called Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). RPL requires a paradigm shift in the way we think. It challenges the traditional notion that to get a degree you need to attend a university or polytechnic and follow a prescribed curriculum.

Dispute over oil permit sparks bitter war of words
Posted by karere under Maori News
A war of words has broken out between Energy and Resources Minister Gerry Brownlee and Ngati Porou leader Dr Apirana Mahuika. The bitterness stems from what level of consultation with iwi took place about the Government’s decision to grant Brazilian company Petrobras an exploratory permit for the Raukumara Basin off East Cape. Yesterday, Mr Brownlee accused tribes of a “breach of trust” while Dr Mahuika said the minister had clearly “f***** up”.

Should oil drilling be allowed in the Raukumara Basin?
Posted by karere under Maori News
Strong environmental standards will be in place before any oil drilling takes place in the Raukumara Basin, Prime Minister John Key says. He made it clear yesterday that the Government wasn’t going to change its mind about the permit it has granted Brazilian company Petrobras to explore 12,330sq km of the basin off East Cape. Mr Key said mineral reserves, including oil and gas, had been nationalised for the benefit of all New Zealanders.

Kumara hits big time
Posted by karere under Maori News
KUMARA-flavoured crisps, anyone? Even if Bluebird doesn’t take up the idea or, better still, produce a kumara crisp, the visit by television personality Matty McLean gave the Kauri Coast and its kumara industry some great publicity.

Compensation urged for Wairarapa iwi
Posted by karere under Maori News
The Waitangi Tribunal says the Government should make legislative changes and offer compensation to local Iwi for about three million hectares of Wairarapa land taken by the Crown. The report - released at a special ceremony at Te Oreore Marae near Masterton on Saturday - says the Crown seriously breached the Treaty of Waitangi when colonising Wairarapa in the 19th century. The tribunal urges that Maori rights, principally those of Ngati Kahungunu and Rangitane, be recognised.

North Island Maori ‘sorely tested’ – tribunal
Posted by karere under Maori News
Maori in the lower North Island have been “sorely tested over a long period” after rapid colonisation left them virtually landless and stripped them of decision-making power, the Waitangi Tribunal has found. In a report released today, the tribunal said iwi and hapu in the Wairarapa and Tararua regions were left struggling to assert their mana and identity after the Crown bought too much land too quickly in the 19th century. The tribunal called for greater local decision-making power for tangata whenua, and for Maori rights in and around the region to be recognised and given effect. The report followed an inquiry into Treaty of Waitangi claims made by iwi and hapu on the east coast of the lower North…

Maori to protest with beach fires
Posted by karere under Maori News
East Coast Maori will light fires to symbolise their historic occupation along the coastline tomorrow in a protest against potential oil drilling by Brazilian giant Petrobras. This month the Government awarded Petrobras a five-year exploratory permit for 12,333sq km of the Raukumara Basin, which is off East Cape. Organiser Ani Pahuru-Huriwai from Hicks Bay is hoping that concerned residents from the Eastern Bay of Plenty around the Cape to Gisborne - Whanau Apanui and Ngati Porou heartland country - will turn out in force. The fires will be supervised, Ms Pahuru-Huriwai said. “We’re hoping every beach will have a fire that has been lit by the ahi kaa roa [local Maori]. This is the way we all informed each other,…

Mill health package a small start
Posted by karere under Maori News
The head of the Sawmill Workers Against Poison, Joe Harawira says a health support package offered yesterday is only the start of what former mill workers need. Ministry of Health officials were in Whakatane yesterday to outline how workers affected by tanalising processes used at a former board mill could get services including a comprehensive health test each year. Mr Harawira says it’s better to have a little bit of something than a whole lot of nothing, but at least the workers are finally being listened to after more than two decades of campaigning. “The biggest part for us is they’ve got my group there part and parcel of the decision making on all these issues. For a government agency…
