The Turtle Whisperer from Ngāpuhi
You’ve heard of the Horse Whisperer? Well check
out our very own Turtle Whisperer - Heni McGroder (nee
Harris).
Heni’s been living in the North Western area of Western
Australia for the past 12 years where with her husband
John - a local Aussie lad, thus the surname - and
together they established a construction company based
in Perth.
Alot of their work was in the Pilbara area where about
10 years ago Heni’s curiousity got the better of her.
Along with some of the locals they noticed the little
town of Port Hedland had become a breeding colony for
the Green Flatback Sea Turtle, where 4000 come ashore
every year during October to lay their eggs.
The Green Flatback Sea Turtle can grow up to 114cm,
weighs between 110-190kg and is listed internationally
as an endangered species facing a high risk of extinction
in the wild in the near future.
It is that concern for the turtle’s long term welfare that
rallied the Port Hedland locals andHeni into action, and
thus began the legend of the Turtle Whisperer.
“As Māori we have a unique connection to the wairua,
including the spirit of these turtles,” said Heni.
“All I do is connect to that through karanga and karakia
when they’re coming ashore to lay their eggs, and when
they return to the sea, we send them off with spiritual
guidance.”
The conservation heart of the locals, including Heni,
that spurred them into action to look after the welfare
of the turtles, also saw the genesis of the Care for

dedicated not only to the environment, but being part
of an international monitoring programme for the Green

Marion Heeney, Regional Director for Tai Tokerau
Child, Youth and Family, says the two organisations are
committed to working together: “This is a huge step
forward for Ngāpuhi tamariki. We believe it will really
make a difference for vulnerable Ngāpuhi children if they
are able to safely maintain iwi and marae connections,
and receive support from their wider whānau and
community.
“What’s really wonderful is that not only will these
children be connected back to their marae, but they will
also have an adult in their life who cares deeply about
them and will stick by them throughout their life.”
surgery and the town’s supermarket, sits the home of
Ngāpuhi Iwi Social Services – New Zealand’s largest iwiled social services provider.
This unobtrusive building in the heart of rural Tai Tokerau
is at the centre of an ambitious plan to reconnect
Ngāpuhi children and young people in state care to their
tribal roots.
Last year Te-Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi-O-Ngāpuhi signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with Child, Youth and
Family to work together and make joint decisions when
Ngāpuhi mokopuna are placed into care or commit
criminal offences.
Around 470 Ngāpuhi tamariki mokopuna are currently in
state care around New Zealand – about a quarter of all
Māori children in care.
The rūnanga’s aim is to have every Ngāpuhi child in Child,
Youth and Family care placed with whānau or at least
with hapū members who share a common heritage and
culture.
Ngāpuhi Iwi Social Services manager Liz Marsden says its
about making sure Ngāpuhi children in care can grow up
“knowing who they are and where they belong.”
Liz, whose own whakapapa includes Ngāpuhi, comes
from a 20-year background with Child, Youth and
Family. She says it’s about creating a service tailor-made
for Ngāpuhi whānau, beginning with the 81 Ngāpuhi
children in care in Tai Tokerau and then looking to the
248 in Auckland.
“There is a real potential to reduce numbers coming
into care, and to reduce their duration in care, by being
involved early. We want a continuum of support, from
families putting their hands up for help to referrals by
statutory agencies.”
That means stepping in before a family reaches crisis
point; using whānau hui to challenge families to lift their
parenting skills; and to have a network of approved
Ngāpuhi caregivers at the ready when a child can no
longer live at home with its parents.
“Some of these caregivers may never be needed but
we want to have them trained and ready, so that if a
child needs care they can go straight to one of these
caregivers, instead of a temporary placement with
strangers they have no connection with.
“It’s not that we want to bring all 470 kids back to live up
here [in Northland.] It means that if they have to come
into care from, for example, Invercargill, we want to keep
them with wider whānau within their area, near their
schools and other networks.”
Marae-based whānau hui also offer a way to work with
parents to lift their game, says Liz. “By bringing the
whānau onto the marae, we can safely challenge them
to get their children back by sorting out their issues and
making home safe for their kids.

steps they will take in their organisation to drive better performance that will bring results for the Māori economy
overall.
The Boot Camp is built on the model successfully operated with 25 CEOs form New Zealand primary sector
organisations in August 2012 at Stanford University. It has received widespread support from the government
and private sector including Ministry of Business, Innovation, Employment, Te Puni Kokiri, Callaghan Innovation,

Changing Landscape for Papakainga
"The landscape for social housing is changing quickly", Te Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi-O-Ngāpuhi Hapū Development
Coordinator Kara George says.
Recent government budget announcements points to a hands-off environment being cultivated. Responsibility is
being devolved to iwi and community organisations in a position to drive forward the government's new vision.
The diverse housing needs of Ngāpuhi has prompted the Rūnanga to become a social housing 'papakainga'
provider for whanau and hapū who want to build housing on their land says Kara.
The focus for the Rūnanga is to provide the best outlook and progress real solutions to the issues that confront
them. Kara, who comes from a strong background in Māori housing, acknowledged that there are Ngāpuhi
whānau and hapū who have to make housing decisions with little knowledge about compliance and the realities of
homeownership.
"Ngāpuhi need easy access to up-to-date information about housing options and financial advice to be able to take
advantage of housing opportunities and make decisions about housing."
Having identified the barriers Ngāpuhi papakainga workshops were formulated to help Ngāpuhi move ahead with
social housing development.
In June, Kara facilitated a papakainga information hui to explain the intent of the workshops. Thirty-one whenua
Māori trusts registered for the hui. Ten trusts further indicated their interest in participating in the eightpapakainga workshops that began on July 10 and conclude in December.
The workshops include presentations by Te Puni Kōkiri, Māori Land Court, Far North District Council, Northland
Regional Council, The Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment and the Rūnanga, with content ranging
from research to financial planning.
"It is important that the trusts engage with the joint agency group and share their learning with one another.
Problems shared can become problems solved," says Kara.

MARAE
Planning for the Future: Pehiaweri Marae
Pehiaweri Marae is planning for the future says Les
Having Ngāti Hau Health and Social Services based in each
of the five marae that affiliate to Ngāti Hau is one of their
dreams. In the not too distant future their Pehiaweri Marae
office will be based in the old vicarage (manse). Renovation work on the manse is progressing and new
doors have been installed.
Whānau, organisations and members of the community
give koha like putea, plants, materials or their time to
support projects underway on the marae. “We have a full calendar - we need to - to be a living marae. This year the marae is also planting more fruit trees.”
Les says that several groups have already expressed an
interest in hiring the manse, which will include a taonga
room with a library and computers available. Whānau will
be able to carry out whakapapa research.
Beds in self-contained spare rooms will be set aside for
kaumātua and kuia unable to sleep in the wharenui. The construction students are no longer working at the
marae but a NorthTec painting course begins soon. While Pono Marika was speaking with Les the tutor rang. “He’s looking forward to bringing his students to the marae
to paint the whare karakia - it’s about giving back to the
community. He has links to here,” Les says.
“Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Hine, Ngāpuhi we are all the same.”
Wakefield, the marae’s chairperson.
The marae is in located in the district of Whangarei, it’s
rural but near both the city and coastal areas. Its location is
ideal.
“We don’t have things like noise restrictions impacting
on how we run our marae but we have to be aware of
developments around us,” says Les. “It’s growing here and
we have always been involved in our community and the
wider district. It’s the way we were raised.”
The marae has become one of the largest communitybased agencies in the area working with the Corrections
Department.
“There’s a component here that they don’t get from any
where else. It’s been really good. “There’s been very little reoffending. Being here has opened
up opportunities for both Māori and non Māori who have
never been on a marae before. They have learned how
everything interacts with everything around them.”
Moving the Ngāti Hau Health and Social Services back
to the marae over two years ago reinforced the rōpū’s
kaupapa of being where the people are. “Our people naturally come here for whānau and takiwā hui
or tangi. It’s a good place - it’s accessible.” Les Wakefield surveys the garden at the back of Pehiaweri Marae.

responsible for giving updates and feedback as to how
they are going with certain actions/deadlines that they
need to meet before the next meeting.”
Iain said he is also involved in assisting Mataitaua
Marae’s project team. “They already have a manager on board. I assisted with
putting together the relevant due diligence components
to make sure they got value out of their contractors and
subcontractors,” said Iain.
“I also assisted the treasurer with their budget and with
getting quotes - making sure they were getting good
value. So they are pretty close to being finished. They’ve
ended up with a really nice wharekai, ablution block and
surrounding deck.”

His role with with Ngāpuhi papakainga includes dealing
with technical issues such as engaging professionals and
negotiating fee proposals. Together with Kara George of
Hapū Development they have faciliated three papakainga

Waka Ama Club Making a Splash
Amongst over 1000 paddlers at one of the largest waka ama events in the world will be a team representing
one of the newer clubs making a splash.
Kaihoe o Ngāti Rehia are off to Rarotonga again in November to compete in Vaka Eiva and are taking their J19s
(under 19s).
Club captain Danny Kaiawe said Vaka Eiva is one of the largest waka ama events in the world that Kaihoe o Ngāti
Rehia have competed in for the past two years with reasonable success.
He puts that success down to whanaungatanga and having the ideal backdrop in which to train in Te Tii.
“When you’re in a race you need people who are prepared to dig deep for one another,” said Danny.
“These guys don’t need to shout at each other on the water; it just takes a stare, and when you’re with whānau
everyone knows what the stare means without having to say anything.”
Vaka Eiva is ideal preparation for the national sprint champs in January, and the long distance event in April. But
the bigger picture is the world champs in Brazil next year.
“Some of these boys are amongst the best in the country and I won’t be surprised to see them make the cut for
the team to represent Aotearoa at next year’s worlds.”
Danny said until then it’ll take a lot of hard work on the water, plus continual fundraising to help their young
people make it to some of these events.
“Fundraising is huge for us and to some degree we’ve been blessed, but we could do with some corporate
sponsorship so the boys can focus on the paddling instead of wondering where the next dollar is going to come
from,” said Danny.

HAPŪ
Developing a Plan for Punakitere Forest
Late July, kaumātua, kuia and whānau from
Liz Kingsford, of NFM said they are looking at
commencing the road upgrade works this coming
summer.
“However if there are implications for the way we are
managing the operations then we would be more than
happy to take those on board, sit down and look at what
it is we are doing,” said Liz.
Supported by the Rūnanga, the local hapū are working
on a cultural impact report about the affects harvesting
will have on the sites and a proposal for the hapū to
manage these areas themselves.
“Ngai Tawake, Ngāti Tautahi and Ngai Tu (te Auru) are
looking at developing a management plan for the
archaeological sites within Punakitere as a way forward,”
said Tania Pene, Hapū Development Natural Resource
Managment Coordinator.
Punakitere, together with forestry and Te Rūnanga-Ā-IwiO-Ngāpuhi kaimahi visited a local pa site, South West of
Kaikohe.
The pa is one of several archaeological sites located in
the Punakitere Forest near Kaipeha Swamp. Hokimate
Dixon recalled gathering kai from nearby whenua when
she was a child. “We used to get watercress and tuna from the river,” said
Hokimate.
Northland Forestry Managers (NFM) are in charge of
operations for Punakitere Forest. Three to four months
ago, prior to lodging a resource consent to harvest the
plantation pines, they began consulting with the local
hapū and community. Kaumātua Tau Kopa (pictured above). NFM say they’re prepared to take on board hapū concerns in the future management of Punakitere Forest.

In September 2011 the largest communications
submissions were received over a six week period and
closed on the 18th August 2013.
The Office of Treaty Settlements, in consultation with
Te Puni Kōkiri, will now review all comments on the
Mandate and report to the Minister for Treaty of
Waitangi Negotiations and the Minister of Māori Affairs
(the Ministers). The Ministers will then decide, on behalf
of the Crown, whether to recognise the Mandate. We
expect a decision in
September/October of this year.
The Mandate from Ngāpuhi has been developed over
almost five years. The process has been a rigorous one
with over 100 hui held.
Tūhoronuku have worked to enhance the Mandate by:
• Giving hapū a majority voice with an increase in
Hapū Representatives from 7 to 15, elected on a
regional basis;
• Making Te Rōpū o Tūhoronuku a separate legal entity
to be known as Te Rōpū o Tūhoronuku Independent
Mandated Authority;
• Setting out in more detail a nomination, election and
replacement process for all representative positions
with the process being overseen by an Independent
Returning Officer.
These enhancements are outlined in detail in the Te
Rōpū o Tūhoronuku Deed of Mandate Addendum –
Ngāpuhi 2013 document.
These are exciting times as we look forward to building a
tribal economic base that can allow us to tackle poverty,
