This week we're jumping out of series for Labour Weekend with Aidan Wivell bringing us a message titled: Just Rest. Preaching out of Deuteronomy 5:12-15, this Labour Weekend as we remember the history of the 8-hour working day, we explore the Biblical practice of Sabbath, which thousands of years earlier placed limits on work and protected space for rest. We'll look at Sabbath though the Māori framework of Atua, Tangata, and Whenua, and see how Sabbath is an act of justice which creates space, not just for us, but for others and for God's creation.

Aotearoa's complicated history of land sales is the focus of a new series from the New Zealand Herald. Whenua: Our Land, Our History, is an interactive map showing how Māori land passed into Pākehā ownership and the stories surrounding it. It confronts questions some of us prefer not to ask because they raise uncomfortable issues about Aotearoa's colonial legacy, and how those impacts are still being felt today. On The Front Page today, we get the story of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei with their Trust's deputy chair, Ngarimu Blair, and discuss the decision to make this series with Chief Content Officer for the Herald and NZME, Murray Kirkness. To read more about how these land sales impacted all iwi around Aotearoa, and the stories by NZ Herald journalists, head to nzherald.co.nz.   Whenua is a New Zealand Herald data-led project, supported by NZ On Air, in association with Māori land legal expert Adrienne Paul.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.

Tangata whenua are protesting across 20 centres Tuesday morning in a National Action Day with the backing of Te Pāti Māori.

In this podcast, Julian Reti Kaukau, 2021 Kellogg Scholar, talks with Farmers Weekly's Managing Editor, Bryan Gibson, about his Kellogg research and to share insights from his work With MPI Māori Agribusiness.In reference to his research, Julian reflects on the historic prowess of the Waikato Maniapoto Māori in the Agriculture and Horticulture sectors and suggests that by harnessing the wisdom of the ancestors who once nurtured the Whenua, today's Kaitiaki can make profound and impactful economic and sustainable decisions for the Whenua and their futures.Julian believes that Māori who have been disconnected from their homelands can better reconnect with their Tupuna Whenua, fostering a profound sense of Tūrangawaewae, enhancing the Mana of the Whānau and Hapū, honoring important Tīkanga such as Manaakitanga and be given the ability to uphold the crucial role of Ahi Kaa.

Tonight on The Huddle, Kiwiblog contributor and Curia pollster David Farrar and former Labour Chief of Staff and Director at Mike Munro Communications, Mike Munro joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more! School leaders are expecting staffing challenges for Term 3 as the teaching staff shortage continues to worsen. Is this going to impact voters come October? The Green Party have announced their new Hoki Whenua Mai policy. A Commission of Inquiry will investigate land taken through Te Tiriti o Waitangi breaches, end perpetual leases, and reform the Public Works Act to prevent Maori land being taken again. How necessary is this policy? Will Labour consider it if they win the election?  The Government has announced several changes to the justice system, including making filming ram-raids an aggravating factor in criminal sentencing and cracking down on people who encourage children to commit crimes. Will this fix anything? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last year, the Anglican church purchased ten acres at Rangiaowhia outside of Te Awamutu, with the intention of enabling its return to Ngāti Apakura. The hapū is currently leasing the land from the church, allowing them to harvest from their traditional whenua for the first time in 160 years. Ngāti Apakura lost the land in the violent attack at Rangiaowhia in 1864, and it's hoped the harvest will be a step towards restoration of the whenua and hapū. Libby Kirkby-McLeod was at the first harvest.

Professor Huhana Smith, who heads Whiti o Rehua School of Art at Massey University, has spent the last 20 years focussed on the restoration of her ancestral coastal whenua and awa at Kuku Beach, near Levin. One of the tools she's using is Biochar, the carbon-rich remains of slow-burned wood.

The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments in a case that could decide whether polluting companies are breaching important duties to New Zealanders.  Sitting at the Environmental Court in Auckland, the Supreme Court will make a decision as to whether or not to strike out a claim against New Zealand's 7 biggest emitters of greenhouse gasses by a Northland man who says they are breaching well-established common law principles by contributing to climate change. Mike Smith is the climate spokesperson for the Iwi Chairs Forum, and is claiming that ongoing pollution by corporations such as Fonterra, Genesis and Z Energy has damaged his Whenua and sites of cultural and historical significance to him and his whānau. To discuss the legal aspects of this case, as well as the role of tikanga Maori in the decision-making, Emilia Sullivan spoke to Geoff McLay from Victoria University Law School.

Iwi across Te-Matau-a-Maui or Hawke's Bay are making big investments in orchards, bringing whānau back to their whenua. They hope this new kaupapa will bring their people jobs. Here's our Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin.  

Te Pāti Māori and the National Māori Authority are backing calls for the establishment of an iwi bank to finance building on Māori land. It comes after Maori housing advocates complained red tape and barriers at the bank were preventing whanau building on their own land. Anei te kai ripoata a Ella Stewart.

Some tangata whenua can't legally access their own land and it's preventing them building houses for whanau who want to live there. It comes after RNZ this morning reported barriers at the bank are stopping some Māori building on their land. Here's Ella Stewart.

Some Māori leaders are now hoping the Government has finally recognised the role of tangata whenua when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Others say there are still gaps missing that the Emissions Reduction Plan doesn't address. Ashleigh McCaull reports.

It's time to recloak the whenua in native trees or lose more of it to extreme weather events - that's the call from well-known east coaster Manu Caddie. A series of storms in Tairāwhiti has left parts of the district mud covered and scarred with slips and erosion. Slash or wood debris from logging operations has also ended up in waterways. Former district councillor and Ruatorea-based entrepreneur Manu Caddie talks to Lisa Owen.

There must be peace at Ihumātao before it has a future.That's the message from mana whenua advocate Pita Turei - defending the lack of housing development on the land.It's eight months since the Government bought Ihumātao from Fletcher Building, in a nearly $30 million deal.The funding was granted under agreement some land will be developed in collaboration with iwi, but there has been no progress so far on that front. But Turei told Heather du Plessis-Allan the fight to protect the land has taken a big toll on whanau."There are those descendants of those people of those lands who need to work out how to come together to progress."LISTEN ABOVE

In the heart of Mt Albert, Auckland, is one of the oldest gardens in NZ. The Sanctuary Mahi Whenua Community Garden was first planted by Maori in pre-European times and hasn't been built on since. The vege gardens and food forest have been lovingly cared for over the years and flourished under the ownership of Carrington tech, now Unitec. But they face an uncertain future following the sale of the lands to Housing NZ. Despite assurances, the gardens remain zoned for residential development. Vincent is on a break this week so handed the reigns to writer and sustainability advisor Sarah Heeringa to interview gardens curator Trevor Crosby. This podcast first appeared at The Feed Weekly.
