An iwi leader is hoping the national hui summoned by Kiingi Tuheitia this weekend will give Maori a clear vision of the future. In December, the Kiingitanga called a nationwide hui at Tuurangawaewae Marae in Ngaruawahia, over concerns about the coalition government's plans for Maori. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Maori Development Minister Tama Potaka met with Kiingi Tuheitia yesterday, ahead of this weekend's hui. Neither Christopher Luxon or Tama Potaka responded to requests to be interviewed. Bayden Barber is the chair of Ngati Kahungunu, which has been holding its own hui in preparation for Saturday. He spoke to Ben Strang.
A Hawke's Bay iwi leader has blocked vehicles from a local beach, placing limestone boulders over access points. Debate's been rife in the community for months over whether four-wheel drive vehicles should be allowed on popular Waimārama Beach, east of Hastings. Ngati Kahungunu leader Bayden Barber told Mike Hosking that he's had to take the matter into his own hands. He says it's been a long-standing issue, with the vehicles posing a major safety risk to beachgoers, especially children. The Hastings District Council is currently seeking feedback in regard to vehicles on the beach. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driftwood and slash from Cyclone Gabrielle will fuel bonfires celebrating Matariki on Hawkes Bay beaches on Saturday night. Families are encouraged to light a small fire, bring fish and chips and marshmallows, tell stories and make jokes. Hawkes Bay iwi Ngati Kahungunu hope marking Matariki by celebrating the story of Mahuika, the goddess of fire, will become an annual tradition, eventually bigger than New Year's Eve. Event organiser Te Rangi Huata hopes to see small registered beach bonfires burning all the way up the Napier Hastings shoreline, even as far as Mahia, with families connected by beacons of flames. Fire and Emergency NZ and local councils have approved the event. you can register your bonfire via email: matchfitnz@gmail.com {audio_play}
New in-depth research into the experience of single parents paints a picture of discrimination and stigma, with many saying when they asked government agencies for protection, they ended up being investigated. The research was commissioned by the Peter McKenzie Project, a key programme of the philanthropic JR McKenzie Trust, and conducted by Ngati Kahungunu and the research organisation, Project Gender. 3500 single parents were surveyed last year. 67 per cent of low income single mothers said they had been treated unfairly or discriminated against - 32 per cent said this had been at the hands of Work and Income. Two thirds of those surveyed had experienced family violence, but said when they sought support from government agencies, instead of being protected, they were often investigated. Single parents also reported discrimination by landlords, employers, Real Estate Agents and schools. Kathryn speaks with one of the report authors, Tania Domett.
Improving KiwiSaver rules, tweaking tax rates and even recolouring bus passes are among the recommendations for improving the lives of single parents contained in a new report out today. The new research looks at how seventy-thousand-plus households are getting by in 2023. Ngati Kahungunu and Project Gender have released their findings under the title of the Mako Mama Mangopare Single Parents Project. They say it's a groundbreaking report detailing 82 recommendations to address the problems highlighted in the survey, conducted with 3,500 self-selected participants. Project director Angela Meyer spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Acclaimed Kiwi opera singer Phillip Rhodes (Ngati Awa and Ngati Kahungunu) has been appointed the first Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation Laureate in recognition of his outstanding achievements as a classical singer, both in New Zealand and overseas.

On this episode we kōrero with Kiri Danielle, Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Ngati Raukawa ki Te Tonga. We talk about her career as an early childhood educator and what a good quality pre-school looks like. We have one chance to get child development right and the consequences can be significant. We also talk about her experience of homelessness but by continuing to advocate for Papatuānuku, Mother Earth, through activism she was able to rise above to become a lawyer and now our very first Māori Environmental Commissioner. We touch on environmental issues and sustainability and how complex issues require a delicate hand.
Ngati Kahungunu has been organising the iwi response up and down the east coast. Marae have been flooded in Omahu, Bridge Pa and Wairoa and many other areas. Ngati Kahungnunu chairman Bayden Barber talks to Jesse.
A documentary project has been following the lives of four Maori children since they were born in 2000. The Whanau documentary series first broadcast 22 years ago when the four babies were born. It revisited them at ages seven and 14, and now the latest installment meets the cohort as they turn 21. Whanau is the brain-child of veteran TV producer Kay Ellmers, who was fed-up with the negative representation of Maori young people in mainstream media. She speaks to Kathryn along with one of the rangitahi featured in the series - Pianika Ormsby (Ngati Ranginui,Ngapuhi, Ngati Kahungunu).
A plan to build nearly 700 homes on a Napier flood plain is being attacked by a local councillor as making no sense. The development led by Ngati Kahungunu will be in one of the city's lowest lying areas. It's been fast tracked by the Government because of the hundreds of jobs and new houses it could bring. But some say they're forgetting about the risks. Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin has more.
Green Dreamer: Sustainability and Regeneration From Ideas to Life
"To try and resolve the environmental problems that we're facing from within the same ontological and epistemological frameworks that have created the problem just can't work. The Western world needs to be rethinking the way it approaches what it is to be a human being on this planet, and what relationships are important." In this episode, we welcome Christine Winter, Ph.D., (Ngati Kahungunu ki Wairoa, Ngati Pākeha) who is a senior lecturer in environmental, climate change, multispecies and indigenous politics. Her research focuses on the ways in which academic political theory, and particularly theories of justice, continue to perpetuate injustice for some people (and more specifically for Māori) and the environment. Her most recent research centers on ensuring the emerging field of a political theory of multispecies justice should have decolonial (and anticolonial) foundations. Some of the topics we explore in this conversation include questioning the philosophies that underlie settler politics, reorienting towards multispecies and intergenerational justice to become good ancestors, moving beyond rights-based frameworks for protecting the more-than-human world, and more.

Historian, Anglican minister, TV presenter and social commentator Dr Hirini Kaa (Ngati Porou, Ngati Kahungunu and Rongowhakaata) has long been interested in the engagement and the interaction between Christianity (and in particular the Anglican Church) and iwi in Aotearoa-New Zealand. This complex and sometimes tense relationship- with claims of religious power, followed by assertions of imperial authority, and degrees of Maori adaptation and transformation- dates back to the time the first English missionaries arrived on these shores back in the early 1800s. It was the subject of his PhD thesis and is now the basis of a book called Te Hahi Mihinare- The Maori Anglican Church. In more recent times Kaa has spoken out on the cannabis and euthanasia referenda and their impact. He also presented, researched and co-wrote the series The Prophets for Maori Television.
