MAIMAI AROHA
E te ngangara kaitangata, kaaore anoo oo niho kia pukuhutia.
Ka koi i te ata, ka koi i te poo. Ka koi i te poo, ka koi ki ngaa motu e rua.
Ngauhoronawea ana ko te tini tangata ahakoa ko wai, ahakoa noo whea.
Ka mutu ko te kuhu katoa raatou ki te puku o Toi….auee taukiri e!
Moe mai koutou e haku kaahui wairua e hoki komuri atu ki te kaahui nguu
Kia karipi mai ki oo rahi e tangi ngawii nei, e tangi hamumu nei
Kaati koutou ki a koutou….taatou ki a taatou.

WAITOOTARA AWA HIIKOI 2013 RANGATAHI PROGRAMME
Under the guise of ‘kaitiakitanga of our natural estate’ the Waitootara
hiikoi was held in January and began at Takirau with preparation
group exercises focussed on orienteering; knot tying; and safety in the
bush. A dawn ritual began the day as we left for the bushwalk to
Trains Hut.
Accompanied by DOC staff, a group of 26 made the first leg of the 3
day stay in the ngahere. Activities at camp ranged from learning
safety with firearms, radio communication, knowledge of pests, being
able to analyse the health of the ngahere, monitoring for bats and
kiwi, fishing for eels, wananga koorero about Tane, origins and his-
tory; hunting for deer and pigs and possum trapping. The end result
was that we all learnt about our role as kaitiaki and the measures
needed to preserve our natural estate. In short, this phase highlighted
a consciousness of mind and inspired action, in terms of our role to
protect Te Waonui a Tane.
I pay special tribute to the DOC staff who shared and inspired us all
with their individual specialist knowledge and to our cooks in the bush
who appeased the puku with their cooking.
The row from Ngamatapouri to Takirau, allowed others to join the
ranks, and a lot of fun was had. The journey from Takirau to Te Auroa
and then Te Auroa to Tapuaarau was both a challenge and yet enjoy-
able. The catering by the office was absolutely delicious and main-
tained morale. The roadies and the road safety crew ensured that we
were well taken care of for the duration of the row and when we ar-
rived at the various marae.
A big mihi to the whaanau of Tauranga Ika, for hosting us and pam-
pering us with a hakari second to none.
WAITOOTARA AWA HIIKOI 2013 RANGATAHI PROGRAMME
A Rangatahi Leadership Development Programme was run over three weekends to develop adventure training
skills in a challenging outdoor environment as well as introduce them to employment options available within
the New Zealand Defence Force. Koorero and tikanga about our natural environment and the preservation of
taonga tuku iho was a large component of the programme. A total of 12 Rangatahi aged between 11 – 17
years participated in the programme which included team building, survival, safe boating, first aid, discipline
and communication activities. Paakaraka Marae was the base for our tamariki with activities being conducted
at William Birch, Waverley Community Pool, the Whanganui River and Moowhaanau Beach. The final part of
this programme was a trip to the Waiouru Army Camp where our rangatahi participated in activities with the
Army Cadet Corp that included marching, team building and whakawhanaungatanga. This part of the pro-
gramme required our rangatahi to build on the skills learnt and required time management, stamina and a
good team spirit. Serving military personnel and bystanders during the weekend complimented our tamariki
on the way they carried their Ngaa Raurutanga and their willingness to learn. Since their return, some of our
rangatahi have joined the local Whanganui cadet forces with others showing a keen interest in the armed
forces as a career option.
TE TOI AHUREA O NGAA RAURU KIITAHI 2013
From 8-10 March 2013 the inaugural Te Toi Ahurea o Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi was
held in Waverley, the heart of Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi.
The kaupapa of Te Toi Ahurea is to celebrate us as Ngaa Rauru through
whanaungatanga, sporting and cultural activities. Registrations far exceeded
our expectations, with an impressive 650 participating and supporting
throughout the weekend.
A Te Toi Ahurea dinner was held on the first day with attendees being fortu-
nate enough to hear from one of our own uri, Toiora Hawira, who travelled
on Te Waka Aurere to Tahiti. Toiora shared with those present his learning's
of how to read the sea currents, navigation by stars, clouds and winds, some
of the lighter moments while on Tangaroa as well as the challenges.
Sports included marae-athlon, golf and tennis on Friday, rugby union, touch
rugby, netball volleyball on Saturday. Hunting and fishing took place over
the duration of the weekend. A range of tamariki and pahake activities
were also included with encouragement being given for sports teams to be
inclusive of tamariki.
Sunday was the final day that saw our pahuki compete in kapa haka with the
compulsory items being mooteatea—Koianei ngaa rohe and waiata-aa-
ringa—E Rima. Following the formalities of the competition, Ngaa Rauru Kii-
tahi had a kapa haka jam on the sports field that was a sight to behold with
all uki participating.
TE TOI AHUREA O NGAA RAURU KIITAHI 2013
We concluded with a hilarious Nanny Parade, our mokopuna entertaining us in the Gangnam Style and Harlem
Shake kanikani, prize giving and a hangi to farewell everyone as they returned to their homes. Congratulations
to Toa, the Northern Pahuki who were the aggregate winners of Te Toi Ahurea.
