Te Aitanga a Mahaki

​Whakataka te hau ki te uru,

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga.

Kia makinakina ki uta,

Kia mataratara ki tai.

E hi ake ana te atakura.

He tio, he huka, he hauhunga.

Tihei Mauri Ora!

Kia ora koutou,

We need your help.  Please forward this on widely and post to websites and Face Book pages. 

Noted below is the public notice of what will be the last call on the settlement for the Mangatu forest.  Please encourage your whanau in each location to attend these Information Hui.  I will be attending all the hui noted as will:

• Wirangi Pera (our Pou Tikanga),
• Pehimana Brown (Chair, Te Aitanga a Mahaki),
• Diana Anderson (Mangatu Incorporation Committee of Management) and
• ​Robyn Rauna (Te Whanau a Wipere Claimant Group)

The letter will be sent out to all people registered with Mangatu Inc, Wipere Trust and Te Aitanga a Mahaki Trust. 

Also attached is a copy of the presentation that will be presented at all the Information Hui noted below.  Last but not least is the Deed of Trust for the Mahaki Forest Settlement Trust – and the 4 inaugural trustees (Pehimana Brown, Robyn Rauna, Alan Haronga Jnr and Patricia Fleming).

I fully support this information and the direction that is being taken.  It has been a long and intensive 9 years, on top of being at the first Tiriti o Waitangi hui with the Waitangi Tribunal/Professor Alan Ward in 1994 with John Ruru, Nona Haronga, Kiki Smiler and Peter Gordon.

Help Please

We need you to do two things. 

Firstly, make sure that you are registered and that you vote in favour of the mandate being sought by Te Aitanga a Mahaki. 

Secondly, if you support a united Te Aitanga a Mahaki approach, you need to register with the Te Whanau a Kai Trust (seeking 90% of the forest or $180m and led by Dave Hawea) and the Nga Uri o Tamanui Trust (seeking 45% of the forest or $100m and led by Owen Lloyd & others) and vote against their trusts having the mandate on behalf of Te Whanau a Kai and Nga Uri o Tamanui.

People are welcome to e-mail or call me on 021768462.

Kia kaha ki a taatou
