Chair and Deputy Chair of Hineuru Iwi Trust

Hineuru Iwi Trust is pleased to announce, following the first official trustees’ hui, that Mana Hazel has been appointed Chair of the Trust, and Elizabeth Waiwiri-Hunt has been appointed Deputy Chair. These appointments were endorsed unanimously by the trustees. 
Chair, Mana Hazel, said the following post his appointment:
“E kore e mimiti ngā rau o te aroha, ngā reo whakamiha ki ngā kaitiaki o mua. Nā koutou ko ngā kuia ko ngā koroua i whakatū ai i ngā pou e whitu nei. Kia pupuri tonu i te mauri i te manako nui o rātou mā kia takatu ai ngā uri o Hineuru. Kia kōkiri ngātahi ai mai Hineuru mō Hineuru.

With gratitude, we humbly acknowledge our previous Trustees of Hineuru Iwi Trust and those pakeke from the beginning of this journey. Taking on board the dreams and aspirations of our kuia and koroua by establishing the framework, the seven pou, as our foundation. In preparation and anticipation to advance all our aspirations mai Hineuru mō Hineuru.

Now that we, the new trustees, have completed our first official board meeting, with part one of our two-part induction complete, we can settle into our roles and look to the future. I am personally excited for the journey ahead.”
Deputy Chair, Elizabeth Waiwiri-Hunt, said the following post her appointment:
“As new trustees, we thank the iwi for your vote of confidence. It is indeed a privilege to be elected. This is a responsibility that I do not take lightly, and along with my fellow trustees, we will do our absolute due diligence to achieve the aspirations of Hineuru with the utmost respect, care, and dedication.

In saying this, we ask that you give us time and patience whilst we learn and understand our roles. With trust in our hearts and a strong foundation based on reliability, honesty, transparency and goodwill, we can aspire and look to the future.

Mā mua ka kite a muri. Mā muri ka ora a mua.”

The board will meet once more before Christmas. This hui will complete the induction for the trustees.

Ngā mihi!

Unanimous support for Hineuru Iwi Trust to become a member of the National Iwi Chairs Forum

Unanimous support for Hineuru Iwi Trust to become a member of the National Iwi Chairs Forum

In the first week of November, Hineuru Iwi Trust (HIT) sent a delegation of four to the National Iwi Chairs Forum (NICF). This year’s November forum was hosted by Te Ariki o Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Tā Tumu te Heuheu in Taupō.

As usual, NICF was a schedule packed two days; however, many benefits are derived from our attendance. Many of the most topical issues facing Māoridom were discussed during the forum. These were wide-ranging, from Government Reform to Housing, Climate Change and much more.

Notably, at this forum, HIT was officially made a member of NICF. In the past, we have attended the forum; however, we welcome the unanimous endorsement to be a member in our own right. It is only fitting that we acknowledge Ngāti Pāhauwera Development Trust and Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated as they, as existing members of NICF, endorsed our application which enabled it to be tabled. HIT was also pleased to endorse the application by Mana Ahuriri Trust to become a member of NICF. With the plethora of issues facing whānau, hapū and iwi, we must work together, support, and encourage unity amongst iwi Māori to benefit us all.

Trustee, Mana Hazel, gave the following statement about his experience at the forum:

“Anō te pai, te āhuareka o te nohotahi o ngā tuākana me ngā tēina i runga i te whakaaro kotahi! Hineuru ka eke!

The unified and collaborative approach of iwi entities and Māori broadly was once an ideal of science fiction! However, today our whanaunga are sitting pokohiwi ki pokohiwi – rae ki te rae, holding the Kawanatanga to account with highly skilled and experienced technicians.

It was good to see smaller iwi contributing in the same space as the much larger iwi. Despite the difference in size, we all face the same challenges. This, to me, demonstrates the value for us as Hineuru in this forum.

It was timely for Hineuru join this forum in Taupō alongside our whānaunga Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Kahungunu iwi, as well as Ngāti Pāhauwera! Hineuru māranga mai! Hineuru ka eke!”

We look forward to ongoing resource sharing and collaboration with fellow members. All members of NICF, no matter how big or small can participate fully. HIT intends to participate actively in the forum for the betterment of Hineuru.

Chair’s Address | Kahungunu Fish Hook Summit 2022

At this year’s Kahungunu Fish Hook Summit, Hineuru Iwi Trust Chairman Renata Bush was invited to give an address. Below are the speech notes from the address; the drone footage of the aggregate take/stockpiling is also included.

21 June 2022

Ko Titiokura te maunga

Ko Mōhaka te awa

Ko Te Hāroto te marae

Ko Ngāti Hineuru te iwi

Ko Te Rangihīroa te tangata

Tēnā tātau, tēnei te mihi ki a koutou i te matahi o te tau.

Ko Renata Bush ahau, and I am the Chairman of Hineuru Iwi Trust. I want to thank the organisers of this event for the opportunity to share with you all a little about our Iwi Ngāti Hineuru and a few thoughts that I have about how we can all collectively serve our people better in the years to come.

Hineuru Iwi Trust, as the post-settlement governance entity of Ngāti Hineuru, is proud to be leading the collective development of its people. The Trust takes this responsibility seriously. My trustees and I want to make sure that we pass on the baton of iwi development to future trustees, having progressed activity and putting plans into action that ultimately improve and advance the well-being of our people. I know others here today share this same responsibility for your respective organisations and people. It is to you that I share my first key message.

We look to always act honourably and honestly with each other as mana whenua. It is my profound wish that within the respective wheelhouses of our organisations, we always look to expand opportunities for our people whenever we can, ensuring that we treat each other with the respect and courtesy we expect of ourselves.

My second key message relates to the purpose of this Summit. It is around our freshwater interests, our relationship with the Mōhaka River, and our responsibility as kaitiaki. One of the current issues Hineuru is addressing right now is the aggregate take from the Mōhaka River. It’s a matter that we have been monitoring for the last three months, and I wanted to share this with all of you today. Here’s a video clearly showing significant quantities of aggregate being extracted from the Hineuru rohe of the Mōhaka River on McVicars Road off State Highway 5.

It is no longer acceptable to be treating our Taiao like it’s an infinite resource. We do not accept that it is ok. Hineuru holds the view that the aggregate take you saw on the video is a smidgen of what has been occurring, and we have raised our concerns with the Hastings District Council. For those Iwi with interests in the Mōhaka River up and downstream from us, I wanted to share this information with you so you can review what the consequences are, if there are any, in your rohe. For Hineuru, the impact of this aggregate take on the ecosystem of our tuna resource is a major concern. Nō mātou ke te mana o te wai.

Turning now to the interests Hineuru has in the Māori Fisheries Settlement. I want to thank Ngāti Kahungunu Incorporated for your role in looking after our fishing interests. We are grateful to you for this. I want to let you know that Hineuru is now ready to have a conversation with you about the Māori fisheries deep sea quota that you hold on Trust for us. We want to consolidate the share of the Māori fisheries settlement assets that is ours together with our Treaty settlement assets and lead the growth and development of our collective resources in furtherance of our vision: Ka tupu, ka ora, ka rea – We grow, we thrive, we prosper.

My final and last message is that when we make a pact with our tupuna. To do our absolute best to ensure their legacy and the longevity and survival of their pa harakeke, we are collectively strong. For this, though, we must accept that it takes far more than the skills and competencies of our governance boards or management teams to be assured of this. We have to be able to impart to all of our iwi members the true value and benefit of whānau, hapū and Iwi and how it can enrich people’s lives for the better. We need this to become an ingrained living part of our people’s lives so that our whakatipuranga of the future can stand strong as Māori and iwi members and continue in their time to shine the torch and light of tribalism. This is an ongoing challenge – for all of us to meet. For us at Ngāti Hineuru, we hope that we role model by our words and actions the importance of this and instil pride in our people to be Hineuru.

Manawatia a Matariki!
