Update from our ChairKia ora whānau We are only six months away from ratification, but there is still a lot to do! It is just around the corner and will be here before we know it.

The Trust are in the midst of finalising

the Deed of Settlement. The Deed of

Settlement represents the full and final

agreement between Whakatōhea and the

Crown to settle the historical breaches by

the Crown against Whakatōhea including

the historical claims lodged in the

Waitangi Tribunal.

Once this is completed, the WPCT

will initial the Deed of Settlement with

the Crown. By initialling the Deed of

Settlement the WPCT are confirming our

support for the Deed and to move to the

next stage which is for Whakatōhea Iwi

to Vote.

From there, it is up to you to vote in

support of Settlement. We urge you to

do this, and not wait another 10-20 years

before we get another chance to negotiate

with the Crown.

Support for Settlement is support for

Whakatōhea to push out the waka and

start our journey of cultural revitalisation

economic renaissance and development

pathways for our people.

#Whakatōhea2020Whakatōhea 2020 Settlement Information Panui | October 2020

October’s ZUI:Settlement & Rangatahi We had an awesome range of speakers for

our rangatahi ZUI, including Peedi Tai who

Zoomed in from the Gold Coast with her

views on Settlement. Here is a link to all

our awesome panel whānau here.

And if you haven’t seen it yet, here is a link

to the Settlement and Rangatahi ZUI here.

The Trusts view is that this parallel process, Settlement and a Waitangi Tribunal Inquiry, gives Whakatōhea a Win-Win situation.

Usually when an Iwi’s claims are settled, the

Crown removes the ability of the Waitangi

Tribunal to continue looking at these claims.

Whakatōhea are in a unique position where the

Crown have agreed that the Waitangi Tribunal

Inquiry can continue even if Whakatōhea Vote

in support of completing the Settlement. This

has never been done before and means we can

make the most of the Settlement now, whilst

leveraging the opportunities around the Harbour

and Aquaculture developments, AND having our

claims heard by the Waitangi Tribunal.

Next month’s ZUI WHEN Wednesday 28 October 2020

TOPIC Settlement and the Environment

TIME 8pm

WHERE The ZUI will be Live on Facebook. (No links to click on it will be as a live feed to our Facebook page)

IMPORTANT NOTICE We will never ask you for any details online.

Our Facebook ZUI discussions will be broadcast live, just like we do with our Hui-a-Rohe.

So keep safe whānau, and we look forward to seeing you soon for our next kōrero with our next generation of leaders.

WAITANGI TRIBUNAL

Trustee Profiles – introducing...Parehuia Mafi — Ngāti Rua Hapū RepresentativeI had the privilege of being raised in Omarumutu and our whānau home stands alongside those of the Ngāti Rua whānau who continue to live on our tūrangawaewae. Ngāti Rua hapū has always maintained that our whenua is a place where we can all

connect, live and thrive. My role on the Whakatōhea Pre-Settlement Trust is to ensure that this becomes a reality for all Ngāti Rua whānau in the near future.

I have travelled the world as a national sports representative, and I have completed studies in iwi and hapū development, policy and health sciences. As part of the national E Tū whānau violence prevention strategy I have been able to follow my passion of working alongside whānau, hapū, iwi and hāpori / communities. As a Māmā, kaimahi and hapū trustee/committee member I have seen the devastating impact of colonisation upon our people and their resilience, strength and commitment to overcome this legacy and take control of their own destiny. I am honoured to be elected as one of our hapū representatives alongside Linda Grave, we are both dedicated to the tasks set down by our whānau of Ngāti Ruatākena hapū and more importantly to a future full of possibilities for our tamariki and mokopuna. “Kia nuku, nuku, Nukutere”.

Dave Ngatai Ngāti Tamahaua Hapū Representative

I’m very passionate about settling the Whakatōhea Raupatu and Comprehensive claims with the crown. Many of our tīpuna have passed that started this process.

They would have loved to have seen our claims sorted and their Moko’s, Rangatahi and Whānau thriving in a rich, prosperous and vibrant Whakatōhea community. As a united Whakatōhea Iwi we can achieve this and I will do all the hours needed, to get it done and dusted for our Tīpuna, Whānau, Rangatahi and Moko’s. Our future generations.
