Smack Free Alcohol Free Drugs Free Smoke Free

At the Annual General Meeting of the Te Rawhiti Marae on Saturday, 2nd November, 2008, Te Rawhiti Marae was declared Smack Free, Alcohol Free, Drug Free and Smoke Free. The meeting went further and said that repeat offenders will be referred to the proper authorities.

Helen Harte is the strategy manager for Te Kahui Mana Ririki Trust based in Auckland and chaired by Dr Hone Kaa. The aim of the Trust is to eliminate Maori Child Abuse.

The Facts

• Maori children twice as likely as other groups to be abused

• NZ has third highest rate of infanticide in OECD, around a third of those deaths are Maori

• The Child in NZ most likely to be killed is a Maori boy under one year old – from battering

The Trust is focusing on changing the beginning of violence by Maori which is smacking.

MARAE PATU KORE is a new initiative which is aimed at stopping parents hitting children, particularly Maori children beginning on the Marae. It is a Marae based initiative. Some iwi have family prevention initiatives already. Te Rawhiti is well ahead of the rest of the country by formally declaring its Marae Patu Kore/Smack Free. The Marae is a safe place. It protects all people within it, including children. Gradually, Patu Kore will be part of all Maori families at home.

WHITE RIBBON DAY is on November 25. This is an international day when people wear a white ribbon to say that they will to stop violence against women by not hitting, and telling others when they see or hear violence against women. If you see the white ribbons-wear one.

WHITE RIBBON-NOT VIOLENT NOT SILENT NOT VIOLENT NOT SILENT NOT VIOLENT

It’s not OK! Choose to hug not hit.

The Way Forward

1 The Fishery Update Power point-H Harte

The draft Manawahuna and Ipipiri Reports have been completed. These were being read by the principal scientist. The Final Reports are due on May 31^st. The comments from the scientist need to be incorporated in the Finals.

The 3 survey sites in Maunganui bay were pointed out, number 1 being the wreck site, number 2, near Putahataha island and number 3 near Motuwheteke island. The target species for two surveys were Koura, Kina, Tipa, Tamure, Maomao, Takeke. The flora-seaweeds, kelps and eel grass were documented. 5 koura and 6 Tamure were found in site 1 and a total of 227 other fish which were not evident in the first survey. 1 Koura was found at sites 2 and 3 in the first survey and 61 kina at site 2 and 19 at site 3. These two sites need to be surveyed.

Outcome: H Harte to ask for an extension of the final date to June 20, 2008.

Survey of other two sites to be carried out

2 The two Eel grass surveys have shown that there is no Eel grass in Te Rawhiti . The only patch is one corner of Urupukapuka bay, 10% of what was there in 1991.

Outcome: More research required ad protection of this last patch.

3 S Tucker Thompson Tall ship Trustees were welcomed and they offered a suggestion that if we wanted an opportunity to tell our stories then a person could have dinner with the guests on board at Waipiro bay when the tour stops there overnight. They would include our marine conservation projects in their tour if we wanted that. They also asked for some names of youth who might want to be part of the free youth trips they do.

Outcome: Both opportunities to be discussed by hapu. A list of names was given to them.

4 The Mataitai path was outlined, the gazettement of our rohe and tangata kaitiaki being the first step. There were 9 objections and 5 supporting submissions. The 5 had 2 submissions from Kororareka, 2 from Ngati Manu and 1 from Te Kapotai. They have had letters posted to them asking them to write again to MinFish to confirm support. Te Runanga o Taumarere objected and were to be approached about lifting the objection as all of the Runanga supported the gazettement.

Te Komiti o Tangaroa (14 Taiamai Marae), Ngati Rehia Runanga, Ngati Torehina, and Takou Bay 439 Trust objected and we are to meet them all to talk further. They are not against us. They want to protect their customary use.

Ngati Wai wanted shared management to Motukokako with us but not shared management with us to Tuparehuia where we had customary access. They have notified and their boundary has now extended from Taupiri to Motukokako.

Outcome: We will lodge an objection to the Ngatiwai northern boundary and to the tangata kaitiaki. The Taumarere Runanga is to be approached to lift their objection. Ngati Rehia and co to be met with again. G Riley is to meet them first. He is also meeting Whaingaroa who objected to explain our position and will report back to us.

5. Pest Eradication Project: the project was postponed because Ngatiwai objected to the application for an aerial drop with Brodifacum. They, and Patukeha, cited a lack of consideration for the Kiore on Moturua island.

The Community Pest Trapping Project was still to go ahead but local contractors had until May 19 to register with NRC.

Outcome: The DOC toxicologist will address the poisons issues at the NRC hearing when ever that is. Patukeha wants to relocate a colony of kiore to Wellington zoo and the Mana Island Reserve. Ngati Kuta agreed to this proposal. Ngatiwai is to be approached by DOC for their approval.

R Witehira and F Hepi were attempting to do register with team by the closing date.

6 The Way Forward:

A Hauai Trust purchase the Wreck. This is in play and not resolved. Its acquisition would be an asset to progress our community .

B Expressions of interest by May 31 for new projects

C Continuing survey of research; research water samples ;protecting the existing patches of Eel grass; the survey and re-seeding of Eel grass-Moturua, Motuarohia, Hahangarua, Awawaroa, Paroa, Otupoto.

D Our tikanga about other ecologies-Takeke, Tamure etc

E Long term NK & PK tikanga spread to the world

Maunganui

F Continue with survey and research at Maunganui-monitoring of sites and research study-possible long term continued research

S186a for re-seeding of tipa, paua-research of Maunganui

G Motukokako to Taupiri survey of species and location

H Target Species research continued

A awesome article discussing the increased amount of traffic on Rawhiti roads because of the Canterbury dive launch.

Perhaps Rawhiti's roads will be improved because of the increased traffic?

What we need to decide together.

a) Visuals-photos of what the place might look like when people have small businesses.

For example-Do we need a few more visitors in Rawhiti so that we can benefit economically-collect the money? Why would they come? The Marae and the cultural experience? Is this what makes us different from other Dive Wrecks? Combined with the conservation of the artificial reef and the fishery? How would they come? A jetty? Seal the road? Visitor facilities? A Café? Dive School? Backpackers? See what Rawhiti might look like.

Hapu Hui Summarised for 2006 and 2007

The final version for the Te Rawhiti Economic Plan

noreply@blogger.com (Liz) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 10:49:00 +0000

Arising from the recent Economic Hui held at Te Rawhiti in June 2007, a Community Plan was created to address the needs of the community and its assets. The Hui was held over 2 days and included a wide representation of whanau and community interests. This plan is a summary of the event and the opportunities identified to be developed.

The plan should be read in conjunction with our Hapu Management Plans. While parts of the plan are already in play and it was always envisaged that a two-three year time line for this plan to evolve would be practical. Nevertheless, it is a working document and will be adapted over time.

A Special Church Service - Nga Mana Ririki

noreply@blogger.com (Liz) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 06:57:00 +0000

Church Service

4.00pm, this Sunday, 25 November

Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Cnr Khyber Pass Rd and Burleigh St

Auckland

E nga mana, e nga reo, tena koutou katoa, tena hoki tatou i nga ahuatanga o te wa.

All New Zealanders are deeply concerned about child abuse.

We know Maori feature prominently in our child abuse statistics and we need to address this issue.

Here’s a snapshot of the Maori situation:

Maori children are twice as likely to be abused as children from other groups

New Zealand has the third highest rate of infanticide in the OECD, with around a third of those deaths being Maori children

There are statistically significant differences in the rate of homicide of Maori and non-Maori children and the differences have widened over the past 25 years

The child most at risk of fatal violence in New Zealand between 1991 and 2000 was less than one year of age, male, and Maori. He was most likely to die from battering, sustaining head and other fatal bodily injuries inflicted by one of his parents.

I would like to invite you to a special church service this Sunday at 4.00pm at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, cnr Khyber Pass Rd and Burleigh St, Auckland. The purpose of this service is to remember those children who have died and commence community action to bring down the numbers of Maori children being abused.

The service will feature readings and reflections from:

Broadcasters Carole Hirschfeld, John Campbell and Julian Wilcox
Broadcaster and child advocate Judy Bailey
Comedian Mike King
Health worker and songstress Leonie Matoe
Hinewehi Mohi

I have invited professionals and community workers to gather for three days after the service to develop a strategy to reduce the incidence of Maori child abuse.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the Service on Sunday.
