Earlier this week the Government announced that it would introduce the controversial Treaty Principles Bill today, over a week earlier than its original date for introduction on November 18th.  The Bill has received much criticism, with a nationwide hīkoi in protest planned for next week to coincide with its introduction. Producer Sofia spoke to Te Tiriti o Waitangi expert, Professor Margaret Mutu (Ngāti Kahu, Te Rarawa, Ngāti Whātua), from the University of Auckland's Faculty of Arts, as well as lecturer at the University of Auckland's Faculty of Law and spokesperson for and organiser of Toitū te Tiriti, Eru Kapa Kingi (Te Aupōuri, Ngāpuhi, Waikato-Tainui, and Te Whānau-ā-Apanui), about the Bill and the nationwide hīkoi that coincides with it. 

"Pitch it high and don't take your eyes off the prise!" Are you interested in distributed well-being? What do you think about density as a measurement for affordability? How can we use the why-how-what questions for better urban futures? Interview with Dr Haydn Read, a specialist practitioner in systems thinking and action. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, smartness, evidence-based decision-making, organic vs planned city growth, and many more. Dr. Haydn Read found a way to live his best life… as Te Hēteri for Te Whānau-ā-Apanui. He supports his Iwi friends to understand the challenges ahead, as a specialist practitioner in systems thinking and action – and a way forward to tackle them. As a pracademic, Dr Read also finds privilege in working with government supporting initiatives to improve the wellbeing of communities across Aotearoa New Zealand more generally. He has been a Senior Executive in the Private and Public Sectors for nearly 30 years, in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally. His passion lies in unpacking complex problems and helping others find solutions to the most difficult and intractable ones, some refer to as ‘wicked' – especially those impacting on the most vulnerable in our communities. He has a skill in big data, digital twins and smart cities to support big data analytics and evidence-based decision-making to support those endeavours - something he sees as an imperative for any infrastructuralist. His vision is simple: every person in Aotearoa New Zealand should be afforded the same opportunities as the next. Something we need to rediscover as a nation of people who could be first amongst all equals to achieve this aspiration. But mostly, he will tell you he is a ‘lifestyle' farmer from Waimana in the Eastern Bay of Plenty….

The champions of Te Matatini 2023 have been crowned, with Te Whānau-a-Apanui from Mātaatua taking out the competition for the third time. It was an emotional festival this year, the first one in four years due to the pandemic, as many performers' hearts were with whanau at home sufferring from the devastating effects of Cyclone Gabrielle. After a disastrous start to the year for many, Te Matatini provided a precious glimmer of joy.  Te Matatini chairman Herewini (Selwyn) Parata spoke to Corin Dann.

The prominent Maori leader Sir Wira Gardiner has died at the age of 78. He had been ill for a while, and stepped down as interim chief executive of Oranga Tamariki last year. Of Ngati Awa, Te Whakatohea, Whanau-a-Apanui and Ngati Pikiao descent, Sir Wira held numerous leadership roles during his long career, and his contribution to iwi settlements was extensive. In 2009 he was made a Knight of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his contribution and services to Maori. Former New Zealand First and Labour MP Shane Jones spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Opotiki business owners are getting behind an iwi request to discourage visitors this summer.District Council and Te Whanau-a-Apanui are jointly asking would-be holidaymakers to stay away.The iwi says it's to stop Covid spreading into tribal territories with many vulnerable Maori.Councillor and iwi leader Louis Rapihana told Heather du Plessis-Allan a number of campgrounds are proactively shutting.“Te Kaha Holiday Park has been closed, Hawai Bay Park has been closed, Maraehako Bay Park has been closed by the individual owners.”LISTEN ABOVE

In this episode NUKU //098 talks to us about the foundation of haka theatre, she shares her experiences growing up as a child of a gang member and tells us about the realities of trialing for one of our country's top kapa haka groups.

Bay of Plenty iwi Te Whānau a Apanui spokesperson and Ōpōtiki District Councillor Louis Rapihana told Checkpoint the iwi's request for holiday visitors to stay away was partly prompted by local businesses. "Surprisingly it was the local businesses who approached us first as the iwi response unit, in regards to wanting to put best practices in place for them. "The last thing they would want is for us to go into either a level 4 lockdown or red lockdown." He said they are expecting a mixture of responses. Rapihana said there will be checks on campers, but assured there "won't be any friction".

Acclaimed New Zealand writer Witi Ihimaera launched his memoir Native Son at Going West in 2019. He gave a powerful and emotional reading from the book, with sonic accompaniment by the multi-instrumentalist Kingsley Spargo. At Going West, we were extremely honoured to host the launch, for what was the second installment of Ihimaera's planned three-part memoir. To mark the occasion, he read an evocative passage drawing on ancient Māori legend and wrestling with the trauma of his teen years. Musical polymath Kingsley Spargo provided a rich, multi-layered soundscape to accompany the reading, with diverse techniques on both taonga puoro and orchestral instruments, mixed with innovative use of digital processing. The session was introduced by Harriet Allan from Penguin Random House. Witi Ihimaera is of Te Whānau a Kai, Te Aitanga a Māhaki, Rongowhakaata, Tūhoe, Te Whānau ā Apanui and Ngāti Porou descent. He was the first Māori to publish a novel, Tangi, in 1973. He has subsequently gone on to become one of New Zealand's leading writers. He is passionate about writing Māori stories and creating opportunities for them to be shown not only in print but also in theatre and on film. The first installment of his memoir, Māori Boy, won the 2016 Ockham Award for the best non-fiction work. His play, All Our Sons, won six Wellington theatre awards. He is currently writing the third volume of his memoir.

This week, we are joined by Te Rita Papesch, a legendary figure in the Maori tradition of Kapa Haka, and Sharon Mazer, her friend and an American performance studies researcher. Together, they converse about Kapa Haka as a manifestation of the historic relations between the Maori people and their “Kiwi” colonizers, one which is embedded in the everyday life of the community but also undergoing constant change as performers adjust to the increased global visibility of their performances. Mazer describes the national Kapa Haka gatherings, which attract thousands of attendees and are nationally televised, as “a theatrical event incorporated into an Olympic competition encased in a ritual frame.” Papesch is the consummate insider, the matron of a family of Haka performers, whose influence stretches back to the 1970s, whereas Mazer offers the perspective of an informed outsider who has been observing the performances for more than twenty years. Together, they model bicultural conversation as they teach us how to read Kapa Haka’s place in the cultural politics of New Zealand. A full transcript of this conversation will be available soon!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Co-authored writing by Te Rita Papesch & Sharon Mazer:Breaking the Stage: From Te Matatini to Footprints/TapuwaeBut can it be Art?

Oranga Tamariki boss Grainne Moss has resigned, a move that comes after scrutiny and criticism of the organisation and the refusal of new Minister for Children Kelvin Davis to express confidence in her.In a statement released by Public Service Commissioner Peter Hughes, Moss said it had been a privilege to lead the ministry for over four years through a time of significant transformation, challenge and change."I would like to acknowledge all those at Oranga Tamariki and our partner organisations who work tirelessly in some of the toughest environments."I am proud of all that we have achieved over the last four years. However, I believe it is the right time for the agency for me to step down and make way for new leadership. I feel the focus has been on me rather than how we work together to improve the well-being of children."Hughes said Moss was a dedicated public servant and leader who had made a number of significant improvements in what was one of the biggest and toughest roles in the public service.During her tenure, fewer children and young people had entered care, social worker caseloads had been reduced, investment in iwi/Māori services had doubled and the agency had developed new whānau care partnerships with iwi and Māori organisations.The commissioner said he respected Moss' decision to stand down."I commend Mrs Moss for doing what is, at this time, in the best interests of the agency."What she has done today is selfless."The commissioner has appointed Sir Wira Gardiner as Acting Chief Executive.Gardiner has whakapapa links to Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pikiao, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and Te Whakatōhea. He has been involved in significant interactions between the Crown and iwi on Treaty settlements and negotiating between parties on complex issues.He was the founding director of the Waitangi Tribunal, head of the Iwi Transition Agency, and founding chief executive of Te Puni Kōkiri, the Ministry of Māori Development.Davis, who is responsible for Oranga Tamariki, said Moss was stepping down from "one of the toughest roles in the public service" and he "respects the decision she has made and dignified way in which she has done it".He said he welcomed Gardiner into the acting chief executive role."My focus is on working with the leadership of Oranga Tamariki, fixing the system and implementing the Government's work programme."Oranga Tamariki needs to be an enabler, a place whānau go to for help."Crucial to this was partnership with Māori."Now we have a real opportunity to make that happen."Davis said he was not Moss' employer, and she made the decision herself.Asked if he thought she was the right person to be in charge, Davis said he didn't like to talk about chief executives he worked with."She has made the decision to step down, and I respect that decision."Davis said he had met with Oranga Tamariki leadership before Christmas, and spelled out the direction he would like them to go in.This would be more regionally-based, and not just partnerships with Māori but making Māori ways business as usual.Before Christmas Davis refused to say he had confidence in Moss. Davis now said that was a "moot point"."We were still developing a working relationship, now she has tendered her resignation that is a moot point."Asked directly if he asked her to resign, Davis said he didn't."I am not her employer. No, I don't have that ability or power to ask a chief executive to resign."Asked who the new chief executive should be, Davis said there were benefits "having someone familiar with the Māori world".The Māori Party was calling for the next chief executive to be Māori. Davis said it would be the "best person for the job"."It is probably one of the most difficult roles in the public service, we have to make sure we take our time to do it right and get the right person."Davis could not specify a timeframe before a new chief executive was selected, saying it would take "as long as it takes"."I wish [Moss] all...

LISTEN TO CALLER SONJA TALK WITH ANDREW DICKENS ABOVEThe Government's goal of one million Kiwis speaking basic te reo by 2040 is achievable but needs the resourcing to back it up, the head of the Māori Language Commission says.Maihi Karauna, the Crown's draft Māori language strategy, was launched this month and along with boosting widespread reo levels it set targets of 150,000 Māori speaking it as a primary language, and for te reo to become a key element of national identity.At the 2013 census 148,400 people could hold a basic conversation in te reo, 84.5 percent of whom identified as Māori.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern revealed this week her baby, Neve Te Aroha, would be raised to speak te reo Māori and English.Ardern said it was important to her and her partner Clarke Gayford that Neve has an understanding of Māori culture and believes speaking Te Reo is the first step.Te Taura Whiti i te Reo Māori/Māori Language Commission tumuaki (CEO) Ngahiwi Apanui said te reo was increasingly regarded as part of the national identity."New Zealanders, whether they are speakers or not are increasingly celebrating te reo Māori as something that sets us apart from other similar nations."People have pride in their bilingual passports. Nothing says: 'I am from New Zealand' more than te reo Māori."The target of one million New Zealanders speaking basic te reo was achievable."Many people they find they already have a basic vocabulary – to have basic Māori language only sentence structures and common phrases need to be added."A 2013 Statistics New Zealand survey found 257,500 (55 percent) of Māori adults were able to speak more than a few words or phrases, up from 153,500 in 2001.Of those, 50,000 Māori could speak about almost anything, or at least many things in Māori."As these people and new graduates of schools, universities, wānanga and community-based courses continue to develop their Māori language skills it is entirely possible the Māori will become their primary language, especially in settings where there are other Māori speakers," Apanui said.While the goals were achievable, there needed to be a boost in resources.Many kura and wānanga around the country were at capacity for te reo courses, and even had waiting lists."The draft points to the need for increased resources, and we know demand is already stretching what we have," Apanui said."More and better teachers and technology and more online audio, video and writing in te reo Māori is what we need."In the end it will depend on government decisions and the goodwill and support of the New Zealand people."Māori Development Minister Nanaia Mahuta said the draft strategy was open for Kiwis to share their views on."I encourage everyone to have their say on the future of our language and how the Crown can help to protect, promote and secure its future."When I think of my young children growing up it is increasingly important to ensure that more Kiwis connect and reflect our common identity through valuing the indigenous language and culture of our country."

Troy also spent time at the Mainz music and audio institute where he honed his musical skills and made more musical contacts. In early 2012, Troy had been spotted by producers of an upcoming New Zealand film Mt Zion. He attended an audition and the director was instantly struck by Troy’s unique personality and musical talent.He enjoys spending time with family, helping youth, sports and recreational diving. Troy currently lives in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand with his wife Huia and soon to be four children.
