		<description><![CDATA[Far North iwi will sign a unique agreement with 11 government departments on Wednesday which the tribes say will help stop taxpayer money going into a &#8220;deep, dark hole&#8221;. Under the Social Accord, Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri and Ngai Takoto will have a more of a say in how the Crown spends its money. The iwi say the delivery of state services has been inefficient. Ngai Takoto trustee Rangitane Marsden said the parties will focus on improving education, health and housing, and work to create jobs to stop locals leaving the region. Mr Marsen said there is an exodus of young people from the Far North who want a better life and job opportunities as the area is offering nothing....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wellington iwi say the presence of the double hulled waka, Te Matau a Maui, in the harbour has prompted talks about the capital getting its own voyaging canoe. The Ngati Kahungunu waka sailed to the capital city to mark the beginning of the Matariki, or Maori new year celebrations, the weekend before last. Chairperson Morrie Love says Wellington&#8217;s harbour is ideal for sailing waka, and the locals have really enjoyed taking trips on Te Matau a Maui. He says it worked really well and there will be quite a drive to get one in the capital city. Mr Love says it would be a major investment in terms of finance and getting a skilled crew.]]></description>

A King&#8217;s Council, known as Te Kaunihera a te Kingi, was also set up over the weekend to help the his eldest son Whatumoana Te Aa Paki in the new role. A spokesperson for the Kingitanga says Kingi Tuheitia is being treated for a range of complaints, mostly related to diabetes. He is at home, but it is expected that he will not be able to fulfill his duties for the next 18 months. Whatumoana Te Aa Paki, who is in his early 20s, is no stranger to formal duties.

		<description><![CDATA[Prime Minister John Key said teachers in schools should be able to opt-out of delivering a karakia in schools if they wanted to. At post-Cabinet conference today Mr Key said it was a matter of personal choice for teachers and schools. His comments come after some staff at Auckland&#8217;s Kelston Intermediate School complained to their union, NZEI, about the use of karakia in the school. The school recites a karakia at the start of its weekly assembly and in classrooms before lessons begin. Staff deliver the prayer, which asks for the day to be blessed, to help with work and to have a good week. Mr Key said it depended on the circumstances whether a karakia could be seen as...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any review process and reform of Māori land tenure needs to be done very carefully and limiting the focus to legislative intervention is of concern, the New Zealand Law Society says. The Law Society has released its comments on the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 Review Panel&#8217;s Discussion Document on Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. It says it shares the concerns raised in the document about Māori freehold land and the need both to improve productivity and to enhance the capacity of Māori freehold land to improve the economic wellbeing of Māori as well as New Zealand generally. &#8220;The Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 has been in place for 20 years and it is timely that it...]]></description>

The office of the Maori trustee has been renamed Te Tumu Paeroa and trustee, Jaime Tuuta, is on a national tour to &#8220;unlock the potential&#8221; of the 100,000 hectares of Maori land he administers. &#8220;The key thing we got to note is that, yeah, it&#8217;s all good to get the potential of the land going but the question I&#8217;ve been posing to owners and everyone we deal with is, ‘what are we doing to unlock the potential of our people&#8217;?&#8221; &#8220;We&#8217;ve got an ever-increasing Maori asset base but the wellbeing of our people unfortunately isn&#8217;t moving with...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[he largest Maori land manager - Te Tumu Paeroa - is under pressure to dump its stake in a chain of hotels. It owns Te Maori Lodges, which has a 30% stake in Quantum Limited - a company running hotels. MPs on the Maori Affairs Select Committee have questioned why Te Tumu Paeroa is holding on to a poorly performing investment. But Te Tumu Paeroa head Jamie Tuuta said there are plans to sell its shares in Quantum. He said Te Maori Lodges holds 30% of the shares and Millennium Copthorne Hotels owns the balance, 70%. Mr Tuuta said he&#8217;s in talks to sell its interest in Quantum to the majority shareholder. If that happens, he said capital would be...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Identifying modern-day uses for ancient Māori knowledge of the sun, moon and stars is one goal of research led by Victoria University astrophysicist Dr Pauline Harris. The Victoria post-doctoral fellow chairs a national research group called the Society of Māori Astronomy Research and Traditions (SMART) which is carrying out a New Zealand-wide study on Māori astronomy. The team is looking at topics such as traditional celestial navigation and the ‘star paths’ Māori took to travel between islands and the use of tribal moon calendars to plant crops and fish at favourable times of the year. Dr Harris, of Rongomaiwahine and Ngāti Kahungunu descent, has spent the last year forming a picture of how particular tribes developed calendars from the movement...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Fieldays seminar has heard that changes to legislation around Maori land won&#8217;t be the key driver to unlock its potential. The Ministry for Primary Industries held the Maori agribusiness forum on Friday as part of this year&#8217;s National Agricultural Fieldays near Hamilton. The seminar coincides with the final day for submissions on proposed changes to the Maori Land Act, which seeks to make it easier to develop the mass of underperforming Maori land. Parininihi ki Waitotara (PKW) is a large Maori Land Incorporation and major Taranaki dairy farmer. Its chair, Hinerangi Raumati, says there are three things that will unlock the potential of Maori land - people, capital and business models - not necesarily changes to legislation. She says...]]></description>

About 150 invited guests attended the Matariki dinner at the Waikato-Tainui College for Research and Development to celebrate the Kingitanga and the beginning of the new year.
