A court that writes off charges for recurring low-level crime is helping Auckland's homeless off the streets and into work. Te Kooti o Timatanga Hou - The Court of New Beginnings takes offenders under its wing and gives them tools to do the mahi to turn their lives around. It first sat in Auckland 13 years ago to this month - reporter Amy Williams went along on the anniversary, to see a graduation.
Long-time bush man, lawyer and historian Ron Crosby's new book Te Kooti's Last Foray re-tells a forgotten period of Te Urewera history. With the help of recently discovered diaries and by tramping the forests with ex-special forces soldiers, Crosby sets the historical record straight about the mass abduction in 1870 of 218 Whakatohea people by prophet-to-be Te Kooti during the New Zealand Wars. Ron Crosby is author of The Musket Wars - A History of Inter-Iwi Conflict 1806-1845; NZSAS: The First Fifty Years, and Andris Apse - Odyssey and Images.
Paul Diamond reviews Te Kooti's Last Foray by Ron Crosby published by Oratia
Push your way through a tangle of bush only kilometres from the Napier-Taupō highway and you are on an ancient pa site. Tangata whenua sheltered here hundreds of years ago but this site is known to only a few. Country Life joins a group documenting the region's cultural sites on a walk to discover a hidden treasure.
It's borne witness to some of this country's most significant historical moments. The whare tūpuna at Te Kuiti Pā, built by Te Kooti, turned 150 this week, and now its trustees are looking to the next 150 years. Our reporter Jamie Tahana and camera operator Marika Khabazi paid a visit. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6316785447112
From Going West's second year in 1997, master storyteller Maurice Shadbolt, celebrates the near forgotten lives from New Zealand's history, and talks of his path to writing history to life, particularly in the context of his novel The Season of the Jew. Shadbolt, is a major New Zealand writer with an international reputation. He published numerous books and won every major New Zealand literary prize, some multiple times, and sometimes to the chagrin of other writers. His most renowned work is his trilogy on the New Zealand Land Wars. The first book The Season of the Jew, is a semi-fictionalized account of the story of the Māori leader Te Kooti, told from the perspective of one of his pursuers. It explores issues of racism and injustice and is told as a romping read. Shadbolt was one of the few writers of his time to feel at home with the myths, stories, and legends of his own country, and championed bringing those stories to life and to a broad readership. His home in Titirangi, at 35 Arapito Road, where much of his work was written, is soon to become a writers' residence and form part of the West Auckland literary landscape, thanks to the mahi of the Shadbolt House Trust, the Waitakere Local Board, and the Waitakere and Auckland Councils.

In the wake of recent dreadful events, Daniel decided to talk to Jack about the ideology of mass shootings, especially with reference to the 'Might is Right' tract cited by one of the killers.

His caption further asked rhetorically, “Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white twats?”" * From Might Is Right, Chapter Three: "You have only to look at some men, to know that they belong to an inferior breed. Take the Negro for example. His narrow cranial developittent, his prognathous jaw, his projecting lips, his wide nasal aperture, his simian disposition, his want of forethought, originality, and mental capacity: are all peculiarities strictly inferior. Similar language may be applied to the Chinaman, the Coolie, the Kanaka, the Jew, and to the rotten-boned city degenerates of Anglo- Saxondom: rich and poor. Vile indeed are the inhabitants of those noxious cattle kraals: London, Liverpool, New York, Chicago, New Orleans: and yet, in those places is heaped up, the golden plunder of the world. [...] "No one can study the laborers on a farm, the 'hands' in a big foundry or factory, the seamen in a large seaport, the nomadic hirelings on a railroad construction gang: or the clerks and salesmen in a city warehouse, without perceiving at a glance, that the vast majority of them are extremely poor specimens of humanity. The ideal type of manhood or womanhood, (that is to say, 'Ye Thoroughbred") is not to be found among these captive hordes — for captives they really are. Their heads are, to a large extent unsymeterical- their features distorted, ape-like, unintelligent. Their bodies are out of all proportion, dwarfed, stunted, diseased, malformed, cretinous. Their movements are contracted, artificial, ungainly, and their minds (outside of routine) are utter vacuums." * "What We Know About the Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting Suspect." https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-07-29/what-we-know-about-gilroy-garlic-festival-shooting-suspect-santino-william-legan "No clarity yet on motive behind Gilroy gunman's attack, investigators say," https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jul/30/gilroy-garlic-festival-shooting-california-white-supremacy-links "The FBI is continuing to investigate if the alleged shooter “was in line with any particular ideology”, Craig Fair, a deputy special agent in charge with the FBI in San Francisco, said on Tuesday, including by reviewing social media accounts, digital media, conducting interviews and investigating what thoughts and ideas the shooter may have shared with others. He also did not confirm whether the widely-publicized Instagram account was linked to the shooter."

There's reports out there has been information found and books referenced on that, we are not in a position at this stage of the investigation to make a call on ideology," John Bennett told reporters on Wednesday. "The information that's out there, it's being reported that there's white nationalism or any type of those ideologies," Special Agent John Bennett, said. "That has not been determined and I wanted to knock that down." Bennett said that through the course of the investigation they are finding literature from "left to right" and said they can't put the suspect, 19-year-old Santio Legan, in an ideological "box." He wouldn't characterize the literature as extreme, either." * "Radical: The Story of Arthur Desmond" (article and podcast): https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep/story/201859191/radical-the-story-of-arthur-desmond "However, he alienated the settler community with his support for the former Māori guerrilla leader and founder of the Ringatu church, Te Kooti. When public meetings were held to protest a planned trip by Te Kooti to Gisborne, Desmond was the only Pākehā who raised his voice in support. “It was a very brave thing to do,” says Mark Derby. “He was bodily thrown out of the meetings and even beaten up, but it didn’t stop him from taking this stance.” However, Derby doesn’t think Desmond’s support for Te Kooti was rooted in heartfelt sympathy for the plight of Māori. Instead, he says it was linked to Te Kooti’s violent past as a guerrilla leader. “He liked Te Kooti’s style. He admired the idea of a very strong and even ruthless leader who was prepared to go to any lengths, including extreme violence. [Desmond’s] whole career and all his political writings were based on an admiration and exultation of such figures.” [...] "On war he wrote: “The natural world is a world of war; the natural man is a warrior; the natural law is tooth and claw. All else is error.” On Jesus Christ: “... the prophet of unreason — the preacher of rabble-rabies. All that is enervating and destructive of manhood, he glorifies, — all that is self-reliant and heroic, he denounces.” On the American Declaration of Independence: “Its ethical and most of its political conclusions are shams, deceptions, and cold-blooded dishonesties — incandescent Lies.” On women: “Women and children BELONG to man; who must hunt for them as well as for himself. He is their lord and master, in theory and in fact.” On race: “The African, Mongolian, Semite, or Negro breeds are all fundamentally different in formation, constituents, and character; from men of Aryan descent. … Some men ARE born better, born nobler, born braver than others.”" * Robert Evans, "The EL Paso Shooting and the Gamification of Terror" https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2019/08/04/the-el-paso-shooting-and-the-gamification-of-terror/ "This poster and several others lambasted the shooter for his “shitty” and “0 effort manifesto”. There is nothing new in this killer’s ramblings. He expresses fears of the same “replacement” of white people that motivated the Christchurch shooter, and notes that he was deeply motivated by that shooter’s manifesto. In the article I wrote after the Poway Synagogue shooting I noted that 8channers had dedicated a great deal of time to spreading that manifesto, in an effort to inspire more shooters. The El Paso shooting is further proof that this strategy works. [...] "What we see here is evidence of the only real innovation 8chan has brought to global terrorism: the gamification of mass violence. We see this not just in the references to “high scores”, but in the very way the Christchurch shooting was carried out. Brenton Tarrant livestreamed his massacre from a helmet cam in a way that made the shooting look almost exactly like a First Person Shooter video game. This was a conscious choice, as was his decision to pick a sound-track for the spree that would entertain and inspire his viewers. [...] "In the wake of the Christchurch shooting I published my first Bellingcat article about 8chan. I was interviewed by numerous media agencies about the website, and I warned all of them that additional attacks would follow – every month or two – until something was done. This prediction has proven accurate. Until law enforcement, and the media, treat these shooters as part of a terrorist movement no less organized, or deadly, than ISIS or Al Qaeda, the violence will continue. There will be more killers, more gleeful celebration of body counts on 8chan, and more bloody attempts to beat the last killer’s “high score”."

Wednesday 25 of November and the 2nd of December 2015 Eruera Mānuera by Te Onehou Phillis Matua Wiremu-Huta and Professor Taiarahia Black on the 25 November and including the 2nd of November on tumekefm96.9 will continue their discussions of the foundational Ngāti Awa publication of Eruera Mānuera by his daughter Te Onehou Phillis. The narratives in this publication continue to affirm for the readers, and for Eruera when he was speaking anywhere on the marae and at Ringatū 12th he must have been an innovative, engaging speaker. The chapter contents and context-narratives compiled by Te Onehou aims to recover the aspirations and visions of these rich tapestry of historical sources which could have otherwise, have little public record. It can be said for these types of publications, memory is the only way of discovering the past integrated into the richness of the present context. The individual narratives recounted in this publication are more than personal statements. They are language rich reo literacy-related knowledge and scholarship, where emerging readers and writers in the reo will do more than process information; but add to their own-read reo-led experience, engaging in existing and new knowledge accumulated over a life time devotion to Ngāti Awa whakapapa, whānau, hapū and the many marae of Ngāti Awa, mount Pūtauaki, Te Kooti Ārikirangi Te Tūruki and the hāhi Ringatū. The publication by Te Onehou Phillis highlighted in its rich reading and its explanation, primarily lies in the fact, that the words of Eruera Mānuera, his narrative work, its content and value deserve a wider reo audience to integrate and apply the imaginative sources of information from this publication. Every chapter attempts to follow its own Ngāti Awa historical discourse and structure, and it informs the application of the nature of living oral history. At its heart is a continues narrative about language historical sources; the structure of meaning and writing using familiar and not so familiar phrases, terms and individual style of expression. This publication follows the well known process of telling the history, connected to the times of Eruera Mānuera. Eruera does not stand alone in these narratives, he bring with him many other Ngāti Awa personalities, where his priorities and his truths are all structured so as to declare the mana of Ngāti Awa whānau, hapū, and iwi. It therefore follows that this publication is reminding us that we must know and honour ancestral history, and that history is from the perspective of Eruera is authoritative. It is these motivating, encouraging historical publications compiled by Te Onehou Phillis that will supplement and bring new innovative language distinctiveness to support Ngāti Awa Te Toki and Mātaatua Waka reo researchers to undertake reo studies in masters and a doctorate degrees at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
“Tipu ake te pono i te whenua, titiro iho te tika i te rangi”. Today’s presentation by Matua Wiremu Huta Martin, Kahi Stevens and Professor Taiarahia Black centred on the discussion by Sir Monita Delamere in 1981 “Tipu ake te pono i te whenua, titiro iho te tika i te rangi” (Truth comes from the land and righteousness comes from Heaven). The discussions connected the words of inspiration by Sir Montia Delamere to the prophetic song composed by Te Kooti Ārikirangi Te Turuki, and all of the participants of Ngā Manu Kōrero held last week in Porirua, Wellington. Professor Black weaved and connected the aspirations, the words, the discussions of Pinepine Te Kura to Ngā Manu Kōrero, held in Wellington last week. The key research message today was Te Kooti the prophet would have researched his waiata Pinepine Te Kura in much the same way as the mokopuna researched their presentation at Ngā Manu Kōrero last week. The one central theme that connects “Tipu ake te pono i te whenua titiro iho te tika i te rangi”, Pinepine Te Kura and Ngā Manu Kōrero is experience, knowledge and scholarship. These are our evidence based research narratives that are customary and intellectual property rights.
Pinepine te kura composed by Te Kooti Ārikirangi Te Tūruki Today Matua Wiremu Huta-Martin and Professor Taiarahia Black presents an interpretation, analysis and examination of the Waiata Matakite (prophet song) composed by the 19th century prophet Te Kooti Ārikirangi Te Tūruki. The interpretation provides a brief background to Te Kooti, his tribal connections and gives an explanation for the reason for this authoritative composition and the inspiration for it. The presenters also explain some of the biblical passages, words of revelation contained in this Waiata Matakite, making this waiata, although composed in 1887 still very relevant and compatible with today’s experience, knowledge and scholarship.
Today's korero focuses on Kura Paul-Burke (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Whakahemo) who has under taken research with Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa. Kura Paul-Burke's research connects with Te Moana a Toi Kai Rākau. Tai first talks about research, what is research and how to conduct research. Kaupapa tuarua is an example of a Masters & Doctorate student from Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, which ties in to the main kaupapa, Kura Paul-Burke and her thesis. Tai ties in a part of Te Koko ki Ōhiwa: Te kai i rāri noa mai te raweketia e te ringaringa ē..to Kura Paul-Burke's research. He also cover's the waiata a Te Kooti Ārikirangi Te Tūruki, Pinepine te kura and ties it to Kura Paul-Burke. Next week, Tai will focus on Monita Delamere's korero on Pinepine te Kura.

Professor Taiarahia Black talks to Wiremu Huta Martin on Tumeke FM 96.9 aboutTe Kooti, the movement of Māori prophets, Da Vinci and Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Orini ki Ngati Awa. (First Broadcast 12 August 2015). Today’s korero from Prof. Tai Black is centred on developing knowledge, experience and scholarship around Tekau Ma Rua – the 12th. - The background on Te Kooti a Rikirangi Turiki and the movement of other Māori prophets. - Connecting with Te Orini Kura Kaupapa Māori with the kaupapa for mokopuna at Te Orini Te Haahi Ringatu. - Te Himene a Rawiri and why Te Kooti a Rikirangi chose David as part of his teaching for his Ringatu Church. Tai recently returned from the U20’s Rugby World Cup Italy where NZ won the World Cup and while there he and his wife visited the Museum Academy and viewed the artworks made by geniuses Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo Da Vinci. Tai says “Biblical scripture – the book of Genesis played a part in developing the genius of Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo Da Vinci. How is that linked to our kura at Orini? Orini is learning about Tekau Ma Rua and are learning the biblical passages in and around Tekau ma Rua and one of the main hymns is Te Himene a Rawiri. So you have three geniuses in Italy who developed their artwork with elements of biblical and scriptural sources and here we are in Aotearoa, Mataatua Waka, at Orini in Whakatane using the same sources”.
Professor Taiarahia Black talks to Wiremu Huta Martin on Tumeke FM 96.9 about his research on Mataatua Waiata.
