On behalf of Taranaki Iwi Trust ( Trust ) I would like to take this opportunity to thank our members for your patience and support of the Trust in the last year. There have been many and varied requests from Councils, commercial and business sectors, public and private sectors looking and working to build stakeholder relationships with the Trust. It must be said that our management team have done an outstanding job in progressing this work on behalf of Ngā Uri o Taranaki iwi. Additional to this, the Taranaki iwi Trust has given their full commitment and support to the Claims Leadership Team and Negotiation Team to progress our Treaty Settlement with the Crown looking for the best possible outcome for us all. The Trustees (including our management team), Claims Leadership Team Negotiation Team are continuing to work tirelessly right up until Christmas to ensure that Taranaki Iwi are well represented through the settlement negotiations process. Every one of us involved in the Treaty negotiation process views our involvement as an honour and a privilege to be part of progressing our people towards a better future. Hemi Sundgren & Toka Walden at Ōtepoti during hui-ā-rohe 2013 This year has been hectic for us all and we are looking forward to the Christmas break to spend some quality time with our whanau. In closing my plea to all our whanau is to look after each other and treasure each other over the festive season. Keep our children safe and look forward to a prosperous New Year. Ngā manaakitanga o te wā iti nei, Tokatūmoana Walden Chairperson Taranaki Iwi Trust Taranaki and Ruanui whanau trace the path of our tūpuna in Ōtepoti

2 TARANAKI IWI TRUST HE WHAKAHOU NGĀ PŌTITANGA ME TE HUI Ā TAU As you will know, the Trust undertook its annual elections in September/October of this year, with the results being confirmed and published on 12 October Nine nominations were received for the four available positions and we are pleased again to advise that Leanne Horo, Hone Niwa, Aroaro Tamati and Daniel Harrison were the successful candidates and declared duly elected by our independent returning officer from Electionz Ltd. Leanne and Hone are returning Trustees and Aroaro and Daniel are newly appointed. We also thank Peter Moeahu for all of his mahi during his time as a Trustee and for working hard on behalf of our people to help get the Trust to where it is today. We are also grateful for all nominees who put their names forward, and are heartened AGM at Puniho Pā, 13 October 2013 by the experience and knowledge of all candidates, a sign that bodes well for future iwi development. You will also know that the Trust held its Annual General Meeting at Puniho Pā on Sunday 13 October 2013 which was well attended. Those present engaged in all aspects of the Trust s presentations and had a particular interest in the claims process. The level of engagement indicated that people are well informed and have a good understanding of the claims process and the Trust s progress to date and look forward to further engagement on marae and hapū issues in the coming months. In accordance with the Trust Deed and standard practice of the Trust, at the first Trustees Hui following the Annual General Meeting the Trustees re-elected both Toka Walden as Chairperson and David Tamatea as Deputy Chairperson of the Trust for the upcoming year. Kō ngā Taratī Hou Aroaro Tamati The Trust are pleased to welcome Aroaro Tamati to the board table. Aroaro is of Ngā Mahanga a Tairi and Ngāti Moeahu descent through her mother Pat Hond (nee Mathieson). Aroaro is the co-director of nationally acclaimed Te Kōpae Piripono (Kaupapa Māori Immersion Early Childhood Centre) and is an accomplished kaupapa Māori journalist in newspaper and television. Aroaro has an active involvement with Ngāti Moeahu and Parihaka affairs and like her husband Howie Tamati is an advocate for healthy lifestyles and hauora tinana. When asked of her contribution as a new Trustee Aroaro states, I offer my skills and experience to Taranaki iwi to help establish a strong and dynamic entity that builds and protects Taranaki iwi assets, taonga and tikanga and also ensures the future growth and development of our social well-being now and into the future. Daniel Harrison We are thrilled to welcome Daniel Harrison of Ngāti Haupoto, Ngāti Tamarongo and Ngāti Haumia as a new (and certainly one of the younger) Trustees. Daniel is the son of Peter Harrison and was born and raised in Auckland. He has always been actively involved in and connected with home affairs particularly Parininihi ki Waitōtara and the Parihaka Festival. Daniel is a Senior Partnership Advisor for Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development and brings valuable governance and private sector experience to our Trust. With his professional experience firmly under his belt, Daniel s focus for his role with Taranaki Iwi is kaupapa focussed, I have a strong desire to learn more about and contribute to the revitalisation of Taranaki Iwi, Daniel says. 2

3 KAUPAPA Ā IWI Taranaki Māori Trust Board In 2012 Toka Walden was elected as the Taranaki Iwi representative on the Taranaki Māori Trust Board ( TMTB ) and subsequently appointed chairperson of TMTB. A number of chairs for the representative bodies of the iwi of Taranaki are members of TMTB which provides some regional cohesion and continuity. At the TMTB Induction and Planning hui held in March 2013, TMTB agreed in principle to meet with the Minister of Māori Affairs with the intent to see what kind of appetite the government has to negotiate a settlement over the TMTB annuity, for compensation of the non-inflation proofing and/ or buy-out of the annuity. TMTB will look to progress these matters over the next 12 months. TMTB is also considering whether it is possible to distribute the assets of the Taranaki Māori Education Trust ( Education Trust ) to its eight member iwi authorities. This work will be progressed over the next 12 months. There is an ongoing project that explores the future purpose and role of TMTB. The two work streams that need to be progressed for consultation back to the people is the purpose and function of TMTB moving forward looking at reconstituting the existing Trust Deed into something that is fit for purpose for the collaboration of the eight iwi of Taranaki. The second work-stream is the process of winding up the Trust Board if that is what the people want, however, through the early consultation there were many people who did not want TMTB wound up due to its history and legacy. The current TMTB membership is as follows: Ngāti Tama Ngāti Mutunga Ngāti Maru Te Atiawa Taranaki Ngāruahine Ngāti Ruanui Ngā Rauru Frances White Rodney Baker Maioha Tokotaua Wharehoka Wano (Deputy Chairperson) Tokatumoana Walden (Chairperson) Allie Hemara-Wahanui (Secretary) Ngapari Nui Darryn Ratana This year the Trust entered into a contract for service agreement with TMTB for the Trust to provide administration and secretariat support to TMTB. The Taranaki Iwi Office will also act as an office base for TMTB while this contract is in place, Hemi Sundgren is assisting TMTB with their administration. Te Reo Irirangi o Taranaki Trust - Te Korimako 94.8FM The Trust also has representation on the board of Te Reo Irirangi o Taranaki Trust ( Te Korimako ) as the Taranaki Iwi representative. Te Korimako is in a sound financial position going forward and has been fully compliant with Te Puni Kōkiri and Te Māngai Pāho requirements. There are many highlights to share, including: Te Korimako was one of the few iwi radio stations to submit a Māori Language Quality Plan for Māori Radio stations throughout Aotearoa; Te Whare Pūnanga Kōrero has a weekly segment picking up on the current health issues that are facing our people; There have been many community engagements by Te Korimako where kaupapa have been able to be broadcast to our wider radio listeners - Maui Pomare Day, Ngati Ruanui festival, Puanga festivities, Tatarakihi Kapahaka and Taranaki Tu Mai to name a few; Te Korimako has contracted Dave Haskell for 20 hours per week to do advertising and sponsorship on behalf of Te Korimako to increase the revenue for the station; and To top it off, the station has two new programmes Te Reo Māori Kapahaka show hosted by Te Aroha Broughton and the Saturday night Matapaepae show to help strengthen the rangatahi voice through the medium of radio. Te Korimako continues to work on securing access to Te Korimako right around our mounga and look forward to progressing this into TAKE WHENUA - TAKE MOANA The Trust responds to numerous environmental issues on a weekly basis. The major environmental kaupapa the Trust has responded to in the last year are as follows. Cold Creek Water Supply The South Taranaki District Council (Cold Creek Rural Water Supply) Act 2013 ( Act ) came into effect on 19 March The Cold Creek Rural Water Supply ( Scheme ), including the infrastructure and the land on which it is located will now be transferred from the South Taranaki District Council ( STDC ) to the Cold Creek Water Supply Limited ( Company ). STDC will be required under the Act to conduct a consultation round on the transfer of the Scheme. Although the Trust is currently building a relationship agreement with the Company we will maintain our position that, significant Crown or local government assets should not be transferred out of ownership to third parties without consideration being given to the potential use of these assets for Taranaki Iwi settlement. Block Offer 2013/2014 Further to the Trust s submission of 5 April 2012 opposing the inclusion of block offers within our rohe, blocks TAR1 & TAR2 were deferred and excluded from the block offer process. TAR8 was also reduced in size due to the existence of waahi tapu. The Trust had to ascertain and identify the extent of waahi tapu within both the TAR1 & TAR2 blocks which at this stage are still deferred for inclusion. On 18 September 2013, the Minister of Energy announced the proposed block offer 2014 for the competitive tendering of blocks for oil and gas permits. We note that the majority of the Taranaki Iwi onshore rohe will be offered for tender in The Trust filed a submission in November which again sought the exclusion of blocks containing culturally significant areas. We are currently awaiting an outcome on Block offer

4 Oil and Gas Engagement There has been a significant increase in engagement from various parties working in the oil and gas industry, specifically from companies who all have commitments to drill in 2013/2014 and predominantly off-shore in our Taranaki Iwi area of interest. The Trust are carefully managing our involvement in this engagement. The Trust have met with Shell Todd Oil Services (STOS), New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG), OMV New Zealand, Todd Energy and AWE, as they all have either current or prospective projects within our iwi rohe. It is hoped that we can work through the development of relationship agreements with these companies that focus on early information sharing and principles for engagement. Mounga Concessions The Trust is developing a productive working relationship with DOC. We have met to discuss mounga concessions in general and now have a good lay-of-the-land when considering applications which comprise mostly of guiding concessions. We receive copies of reports submitted by concessionaires to review their conduct and duty of care and will assist with a workshop on iwi interests on the mounga for all concession holders to be held next year. Local Authorities The South Taranaki District Council ( STDC ) has had a number of sub-division resource consents coming through in the last year. As a matter of general practice and after reviewing the location of each proposed development a letter is sent to STDC requesting at the least accidental discovery protocols and at the most an archaeological assessment with an opportunity to request a cultural impact report if necessary. The Trust follows the same process in relation to properties in the Coastal Protection Area. Where specific hapū engagement is appropriate, the Trust endeavours to do this prior to any submissions being lodged. New Plymouth District Council ( NPDC ) applications are sent to us for our information as Ngā Mahanga-ā-Tairi have traditionally dealt with NPDC directly and make their own representations. We still review each application and if there are any interests of importance we contact Ngā Mahanga representatives to discuss whether they require assistance either in support or on their behalf. The Trust are assisting the Taranaki Regional Council ( TRC ) with the Taranaki Region Coastal Plan Review. TRC have since invited Taranaki Iwi to be a part of a pilot project for scheduling and protecting coastal sites of significance to Taranaki Iwi. We are in the early stages of formulating a framework for the project which will include: identification of sites; approach to recording sites; mechanisms for managing and protecting sites; and accountability to Iwi. As a part of this process, we intend to conduct a series of iwi site visits in We still receive a number of requests for submissions and responses to central and local government policy and plans. Given the demands on time we are not always able to respond to all matters but do ensure that we assess what is a priority based on direct impact and legislative powers. Pātaka Whata The Iwi Collective Partnership ( ICP ), of which Taranaki Iwi is a member, established a Pātaka Whata system to make fish available to our iwi for certain occasions. We continue to receive enquiries seeking clarification on the use of the Pātaka Whata, so we thought it would be useful to again set out the policy for the Pātaka Whata use. Essentially the Pātaka Whata was established to create a store so that fish could be made available at short notice for occasions that couldn t be planned for such as tangihanga. Following a request that Pataka be made available annually for the Paahua on 7 November, it was agreed at this hui that the Paahua commemorations be included as a significant event for which Pātaka Whata requests could be made. As a reminder, the Pātaka Whata for Taranaki Iwi is available for tangihanga, an annual kaumatua function, the Taranaki Iwi AGM and the Paahua commemorations. Requests for fish for tangihanga can be made through local kaitiaki or the Trust Office. Once requests are made they will be processed by the office and then approved electronically by Sam Tamarapa and sent to Egmont Seafood Ltd. The Trust is grateful to Sam Tamarapa and the support he continues to provide for the Pātaka Whata, and will continue to work with our kaitiaki on how best to process Pātaka Whata and kaitiaki permits and manage the information with our marae. Paahua Commemorations at Te Raanui, Toroaanui Parihaka, 7 November

5 SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS HE WHAKAHOU 2013 has seen significant progress towards settlement negotiations with the Crown. As you are aware, the following CLT members were appointed by the Trust as negotiators for Taranaki Iwi ( Negotiators ): Jamie Tuuta (Lead Negotiator); Mahara Okeroa; Wayne Mulligan; and Tokatumoana Walden. You will recall in June 2012 that Taranaki Iwi and the Crown agreed to a $70m cash quantum figure. This was the result of a significant amount of analysis and negotiation, and the CLT and Trustees believe that this figure provides a foundation upon which to negotiate the other components of our Taranaki Iwi settlement redress package. Other Cultural Redress; Commercial Redress, including $70m Cash Quantum; and Interest and Tax. With the signing of the Letter of Agreement with the Crown our focus turned to the establishment of the PSGE and concluding the remaining aspects of the Deed of Settlement. As discussed at our engagement hui, the CLT and appointed negotiators have utilised Te Whare Tūranga Kōrero o Taranaki settlement framework during the course of negotiations. This has assisted us in developing a settlement package to date with room to negotiate further. The five pou (pillars) of this settlement framework are: Reconciliation - Hohourongo Land and resources - Herenga whenua Herenga tangata Cultural retention and development - Taranakitanga Taranaki Iwi Crown Accord - Tatau Financial and commercial redress - Tirohangaroa We would like to express our sincere thanks to those of you who attended our engagement hui throughout the rohe in The hui were hosted at our Taranaki iwi marae and were an opportunity to think big about the needs and aspirations of our marae, hapū and uri o Taranaki Iwi into the future. The information gathered has provided the Trust and CLT with positive and directive insights into what it is that our uri want. The key themes that came out of the hui are as follows. Ngā uri o Taranaki Iwi want: Physically functioning and thriving marae; Papa kainga housing; Wānanga and opportunities to learn Taranaki Iwi reo and tikanga; Support for further education; Mana motuhake; An ability to tell the Taranaki Iwi story in our own way; To be well equipped custodians of our own environment; To house our own taonga and archives; Access to good health care and facilities; Access to good education; and Positive activities for pahake and taiohi. The CLT continue to be guided by these aspirations in their negotiations. Following hui-ā-rohe around the motu regarding key components of the proposed Taranaki Iwi settlement package, on 22 December 2012, Taranaki Iwi representatives signed a Letter of Agreement with the Crown at Parliament Buildings in Wellington. This milestone records those aspects which have been agreed between the Crown and Taranaki Iwi and provides scope for outstanding matters to be explored and agreed between the parties during the current phase of negotiations. The component parts of the Letter of Agreement are as follows. Historical Account, Crown Acknowledgements and Crown Apology; Cultural and Commercial Redress over Properties; PSGE Hui Tatau o Te Pō, Pōneke March 2013 Before settlement assets can be transferred from the Crown to Taranaki Iwi, an accountable, representative and transparent legal structure must be in place and ratified by ngā uri o Taranaki Iwi to receive and hold the settlement redress. The development of a Post-Settlement Governance Entity ( PSGE ) provides the opportunity to explore what the future governance arrangements will be in a post-settlement environment. In March 2013, the CLT conducted nationwide consultation hui on an appropriate PSGE to suit the needs and aspirations of ngā uri o Taranaki Iwi. We sincerely thank all those who attended these hui and provided their input and feedback. After the ratification hui held in May and the voting period that followed it is well known that the PSGE Te Kāhui o Taranaki Trust was ratified by ngā uri o Taranaki Iwi and has now been established. PSGE RATIFICATION RESULTS The majority (being 93.26%) of valid votes cast at the ratification poll held by internet, postal and ballot box voting at eight information hui between Friday 3 May and Friday 14 June 2013 voted YES/ĀE that: Te Kāhui o Taranaki Trust will be the Post Settlement Governance Entity ( PSGE ) to receive and manage historical Treaty of Waitangi settlement redress on behalf of Taranaki Iwi; 5

6 The PSGE, Te Kāhui o Taranaki Trust will supersede the Taranaki Iwi Trust as the Mandated Iwi Organisation (MIO) for Taranaki Iwi; The Taranaki Iwi Trust will be dissolved by the settlement legislation; and The assets and liabilities of the Taranaki Iwi Trust will be vested in the PSGE, Te Kāhui o Taranaki Trust. Votes Received YES/ĀE 623 NO/KAO 45 The development and negotiation of the remaining components of our settlement package continue to be the focus heading into Please look out for further pānui regarding hui to be held late January to March These hui will look at PSGE development, relationships with hapū and marae and the remaining components of the settlement package. Your attendance and involvement in these hui is vital and will ensure a robust process and outcome. I personally extend my thanks to the Taranaki Iwi Trust and ngā uri o Taranaki Iwi for the confidence and support we, the Claims Leadership Team, have received. I would also like to thank all past and new Trustees for their ongoing commitment. Lastly, it is fitting that we once again remember and acknowledge all of those that have contributed to the continued wellbeing of Taranaki Iwi over the years it is an honour to build upon the collective effort of those who have gone before us and contribute to one of the most significant milestones in Taranaki Iwi history.
