New Whai Rawa bossWe’ve been pretty flat out at the Whai Rawa office this year and things don’t look like easing up any time soon.

Our programme manager, Andrew Scott, is heading away to the land of his forefathers (Scotland) for a year or more. Andrew has been an integral part of Whai Rawa for the past eight years and will be missed.

We hope to communicate who will take over from Andrew in the next issue of Te Pānui Rūnaka.

New Whai Rawa websiteYou can follow what we’ve been up to on our new website www.whairawa.com. On the new website you can get an indication of savings tracking using the brand new Whai Rawa Savings Calculator, work out your PIR and RSCT tax rates, track the Whai Rawa Fund value ($34,700,000 as at 31/3/2014) and read even more whānau stories about real members. If you’ve got a question and don’t want to pick up the phone, try our new chat-service, which will be manned during office hours.

Win $500 or $250 with AON and Whai RawaIf you’re a Whai Rawa member, you’re in the draw to win $500* or $250* to be paid into your Whai Rawa account. What difference could this make to your savings balance? You can check by looking at our savings calculator on our new website. Don’t worry if you don’t get one of the prizes for this month because they will run monthly from May until October.

Clutha Mata Au scholarshipsThese scholarships (two at $2,700 and one at $8,100) are based on academic excellence in an area of study that will improve the management of natural resources within the Clutha/Mata-au or improve water management within the Ngāi Tahu takiwā generally. The applications close on 4 July 2014.

Whai Rawa hīkoiWe’ve been out and about in the takiwā recently with a visit to Ashburton on 9 May and we plan to get back to Murihiku soon too. Let us know if we you’d like a visit where you are. Thanks to whānau who made time to come and see us about grants, joining Whai Rawa and even registering whānau members who hadn’t managed to get enrolled yet.

Bright future in farmingChris Eruera (Ngāi Tahu) wants to be the first tribal member to manage one of the new Ngāi Tahu dairy farms.“Our rangatira fought long and hard to re-establish our tribal economic base. They carved a pathway and I’m extremely proud to be here now.”

Chris is second-in-charge of a Ngāi Tahu farm, established at Eyrewell on the northern banks of the Waimakariri River. Three of the planned 14 dairy farms for the complex are in operation, with another three farms due to come into production in time for next season. Among the dairy farms will be 150 hectares of native planting – that’s the size of 300 rugby fields set aside for native biodiversity. Potentially there will be 100 jobs created to support the development.

Chris says there are heaps of opportunities for whānau keen to head down the farming track and he encourages those interested to enrol in Whenua Kura, the tribe’s support scheme aimed at growing Māori leadership in agriculture.“It’s brilliant the way they’ve set it up. They’ll fully fund all your tutoring and support you with your training during work hours.”

Having worked 10 years in the dairy industry, Chris has learned most of his skills on the job. He had been following the progress of Ngāi Tahu Farming, and decided that was where he wanted to be.

Chris has been working for Ngāi Tahu Farming 18 months now and while he continues his studies, he has worked his way up to the position of deputy farm manager. He has had the opportunity to be in charge of farm operations on several occasions, stepping in for

his manager, Phil Columbus, who recently won Farm Manager of the Year at the regional Dairy Industry Awards.

Chris is proud to be working on the whānau-owned farm and looks forward to having more Ngāi Tahu join the team. “Putting in the work and commitment is definitely paying off, not just for the future of my own whānau but also the whole of Ngāi Tahu. Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei – for us and our children after us.”

Open to all Māori, the Whenua Kura programme includes full-fee scholarships (18-34 years) toward Lincoln University qualifications specialising in land-based studies, work placements on Ngāi Tahu farms, a Māori approach to learning, as well as guidance and support through to employment. Visit www.whenuakura.co.nz for more information.

Chris Eruera – proud to be working on a whānau-owned farm.

Latest in Te Hā series now availableKia ora e te whānau,You would have seen that we recently launched the fourth edition of the Te Hā o Tahu Pōtiki series, Ka Korokī Te Manu.

Ka Korokī Te Manu is a collection of Ngāi Tahu waiata and haka which speak of the dawn chorus of birds.

Some of the Ngāi Tahu classics are in the book as well as new compositions.

You will find the waiata book which includes words and audio on our website, www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz, including those which will be sung when we welcome the country to the senior national kapa haka competition, Te Matatini, which will be held in Hagley Park, Christchurch in March 2015.

There are limited CDs and USB drives (with booklets) available to those who are unable to download or stream these waiata and haka online.

Please contact Maani Stirling on Maani.Stirling@ngaitahu.iwi.nz for more information.

Kura Reo ki Te WaipounamuTutungia te hatete o te reo. Ehara te hinengaro i te tahā kia whakakīia ki ōna momo kai, ēngari kē he ahi me tūtakitaki kia muramura ai.

I roko anō Te Puna Wānaka i te reo waitī e rere ana i te wiki tuarua o kā hararei-ā-kura. I noho te pia e pīkoko ana ki tō tātou reo. I whai wā kā ākoka ki te whakapakari i tō rātou reo, ki te ruku atu i kā retotaka o te reo, kia rerehua ake, kia Māori ake. Ko kā kaiako ko tērā te huka e matatau ana ki tō tātou nei reo, e kaikākau ana ki tō tātou nei reo, ā, e whai ara ana hai akiaki i te huka pīkoko ki te ako i te reo Māori. Ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori. He mihi e rere atu ana ki kā pītau whakarei, arā ki a Te Wharehuia Milroy rātou ko Rangi Mātāmua, ko Materoa Haenga, Ko Poia Rewi, ko Leon Blake, ko Nichole Gully, ko Hana O’Regan, ko Charisma Rangipuna, ko Justin Tipa. Nei anō te owha ki a Komene Cassidy – te waha kōrero i te kura reo, ko te whakamoemiti te pūmahara o te kakau.Ko kā kaupapa ako i te kura reo ko kā whakataukī me kā kōrero mō kā tātai whetū, kā kīwaha, te whakapākēhā, te tuhika auaha, te whakawhitika kōrero, kā āhuataka o te reo me te whakaora reo.

I whai wā hoki kā ākoka ki te whakatā, ā, i te Pōhina i tū tētahi kēmu patapatai. Wehi nā. I te Pōtū i whitawhita te ahi reo nā te tū kaha o kā tima e rua ki te tautohetohe. Papaki kau ana kā tai o mihi ki a koutou, ko Junior (Pūmau) Tana, Juneea Silberry, Taane Flannigan, ko Keanu Ager, ko Merita Waitoa-Paki, ko Te Kourou Roberts. Wananei.

I noho tahi, ā, i ako tahi hoki kā uri o Tahu me kā purapura whetū. Ko te tūmanako ia ka muramura kā tini ahi reo ki ia pākaiahi o te ao, kia rere anō tō tātou nei reo. Tūwhitia te hopo.

E te Amokura. I ora a Tamaroto i a koutou. I ora anō te reo i a koutou. Inā te ora o te tākata.

Kura Reo ki Te Waipounamu was held during the second week of the school holidays at CPIT – Te Puna Wānaka. Students attend Kura Reo to grow the depth, quality and fluency of their reo. Teachers of Kura Reo are national exponents of te reo Māori who have a passion for its revitalisation. Many thanks to all of the teachers who attended Kura Reo ki Te Waipounamu we are grateful for your contributions and encouragement. Thanks also to Komene Cassidy for being the master of ceremonies.

This year’s teaching topics were whakataukī(proverbs/aphorisms) the stars, kīwaha (colloquialisms and idioms), translation from te reo Māori to English, creative writing, interpretation/translation, grammar and the language revitalization. Kura Reo is a total immersion wānaka and alongside formal classes, participants find time to relax and have a laugh, normalizing te reo. There were many giggles during the quiz night. The much anticipated debate saw everyone on the edge of their seats, excited and inspired by the teams’ debating skills.

Kura Reo is for all people who have a passion for te reo Māori. An analogy known to te reo enthusiasts compares te reo to that of a fire. A fire that needs to burn bright and strong to warm us all. May all of our language fires burn brightly, warming every extremity of our world, mō tātou ā mō kā uri ā muri ake nei.

Reo o te wā - Language of the season Marama: Mātahi-ā-te-tau (May); Maruaroa (June)Kaupeka: Kahuru (Autumn); Makariri/Takurua/Hōtoke (Winter)

Planning is now underway for a full programme of events for the next 12 months. Keep an eye out for up and coming KMK events on our web-site: www.kmk.maori.nz. For further information contact the team on 0800 KAITAHU.
