Chairman’s Report

Téná koutou e ngá uri o Ngáti Kuri

Ko te mea tuatahi e tuku ana i te reo whakamoemiti ki a Ihoa o Ngá Mano mö ngá manaakitanga maha i uhia mai ki a tátou katoa ngá uri o Ngáti Kuri. Me mihi hoki ki ö tátou tini mate, haere ngá mate, koutou te hunga mate ki a koutou, tátou te hunga ora, ki a tátou. Kia ora tátou katoa.

Trust Board Membership

In April we had the privilege of welcoming new board members, Donna Smith and Lillian Karaka, whom you supported in the 2012 elections. They have quickly picked up their share of the workload in a capable manner.

We have accepted Catherine Davis’s resignation from the Board as she has chosen to focus on her governance role with Te Rarawa. We have fully supported her in this change.

On behalf of the Board I wish to acknowledge her contribution over 4 years of service on the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board. Catherine is still involved in the Treaty Settlement work.

Education and Discretionary Funding

Last year the Board signaled a realignment of our Education and Funding policies with our strategic plan. Those policies and application forms are available on the Ngáti Kuri website: www.ngatikuri.iwi.nz

The Board provided $18,000 to those who applied and met the funding criteria. As these funding facilities were undersubscribed during the year, the Board wishes to encourage those who require support not to hesitate in applying for funding.

Kaumátua Kaunihera

As a requirement of our constitution, the Board appointed Pineaha Murray, Charlie Petera, Whare Mehana, Whiti Maaka, Merimeri Penfold, Mere Rollo, Bob Wells and Joe Rewi as the inaugural members of the Kaumátua Kaunihera. These members have quickly taken ownership of their roles, responsibilities and membership.

The Kaunihera Chair, Pineaha Murray stated that they have “come together as a consensus of Elders for things to be done by the old ways, eye-to-eye and in a simple manner. Our role includes providing the Board with guidance when needed in matters of tikanga, or in a disputes resolution within our Board or with people in our Iwi."

For the Board the Kaunihera have been a wonderful reference point.

Ngáti Kuri Education Subcommittee

Chaired by Donna Smith with the support of Pani Petera, Lillian Karaka, Margaret Taurere, Mere Rollo and DJ Neho, the Education Subcommittee is tasked to oversee the delivery of a Ngáti Kuri centric education and Te Reo strategy funded by the Ministry of Education. They are being supported by the project management team, Karena Neho and Hailey Tobin. The Board sees the role of this committee expanding as more resources are applied in these related areas in the future.

Financial Performance

The Board has been consistent in prudently managing the revenues and costs that it is responsible for, and has reduced its operating costs by 10% between 2011 and 2012. We have also more accurately reflected the transactions of the Board and its commercial subsidary Te Urungi o Ngáti Kuri.

In 2011 the ACE round revenue was reported in the Board statement of financial position. This time around all ACE round revenue and costs fall with Te Urungi o Ngáti Kuri. You will note the reduction in ACE round revenue between 2011 and 2012. This has been due to the reduction in quota allocated to Ngáti Kuri with the kg return being similar.

Although Te Urungi o Ngáti Kuri audited Waimarama Orchards, the Directors have chosen not to make public the details of the business for commercial reasons. That aside as Waimarama Orchards is 100% owned by Te Urungi o Ngáti Kuri, the high-level transactions are recorded in its accounts.

Chairman’s Report

Waimarama Orchards

Understanding the business has been the focus of the Te Urungi o Ngáti Kuri Board. The Orchard is performing as per the budgets and forecasts, with over 200 tonnes of Avocados picked in the 2012 season, double that of 2011. This required 12 part-time staff to assist. Paul Tolladay and his team have managed all aspects of the Orchard effectively.

As it is the vision of the Te Urungi o Ngáti Kuri Board to have a Ngáti Kuri horticulture center of excellence, there are two other trial crops being tested for suitability. The orchard is currently investing in a new irrigation system to provide adequate fertigation as the trees mature. It has also been used as a practical site for the Northtec horticultural scheme operating from Te Manawa.

Some Key Events and Appointments for the year

• December 11th 2011, supported the appointment of Joan Norman as the Ngáti Kuri representative on the Te Hauora o Te Hiku o Te Ika Trust• February 10th 2012, Ngáti Kuri Pou, Te Ara Wairua installed and blessed at the Te Ahu Center, Kaitaia• June 18th 2012, appointment by the Trust Board of Marihi Langford and Karena Neho as the Ngáti Kuri representatives to the Te Hiku Media Board• June 18th 2012, appointment by the Trust Board of Karena Neho to Ngá Kaitiaki o Te Reo Irirangi o Te Hiku o Te Ika

Ongoing Work

Reflecting on my comments from last year, there is still a lot of work to do and I am conscious that we will have to invest more in those who are taking up the call to serve their Iwi. We also need to complete those tasks that are in front of us. Finalising the Treaty Settlement is one part, although it is important that we do not see this as the panacea for our future. We need to build on the relationships that will allow us to determine our own pathway, as we cannot rely on others to do this for us.

Election of Trustees for 2013

You will note that there are no voting forms included in this Annual Report. We have had the unique event of receiving the same amount of nominees as there are positions. This means that those who have put themselves forward for election/re-election have been duly elected as trustees:

Ngáti Kuri Electorate – Abby BrownGeneral Electorate – Graeme NehoMuriwhenua Electorate – Tom Petricevich, Sheridan Waitai Their profiles are on page 13-14 of this report. I look forward to working again with those who are returning, and welcome Sheridan Waitai to the Board.

Acknowledgements

I would like to say thank you from the Board to those who selflessly serve Ngáti Kuri. A special thank you to our kaumátua/kuia, and those who have an unfettered appetite to seek after those attributes that define us as Ngáti Kuri.

Finally, thank you to the staff and Board members for their continued dedication to the work of Ngáti Kuri.

Ngá mihi nui,

Harry BurkhardtChair of the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board


Update on Treaty Negotiations with the Crown

Overview

The Negotiating Team reached the point in 2012 where we had pushed negotiations to their limit concerning the bulk of the settlement redress issues. Negotiations with the Crown this reporting period where therefore characterised by sharpening our focus and attention on the few key issues needed to ‘get Ngáti Kuri over the line’. To offset the disappointment of the Crown offer of Cape View to Te Aupöuri in 2011, Ngáti Kuri launched straight back into hard negotiations, staying in close communication with our kaumátua/kuia in order to obtain clear instructions.

2012 Crown Offer

The result of Ngáti Kuri’s persistent efforts included a comprehensive offer from the Crown in August to the financial value of $21.4m, including vesting of the following whenua back to Ngáti Kuri 1:

Cultural Properties:

In Fee Simple:a. The Pines Block (part of the Te Paki Reserve) – 319.348 hab. Tirirangi urupá – 3.9505hac. Mcmanus Road/ Kimberley Road site – 3.9790 had. Te Hápua School Site B – 1.38 hae. Wairoa Pá – 2 haf. Mokaikai Pá – 6 hag. Wharekawa Pá – 2 hah. Mokaikai site (part of Mokaikai Scenic Reserve) – 2930 hai. Kapowairua (part of Te Paki Scenic Reserve) – 290 haj. Te Rerenga Wairua – 75 hak.Te Rerenga Wairua lighthouse – 2 hal. Hukatere site C – 10 ha*m. Paxton Point (Scenic Reserve) - 22.5 ha*n. Paxton Point (Ngátaki Stream site) - 7.8 ha*o. Rámanuka (Scenic Reserve) - 70.7 ha*(Note that the last four asterisked items are “enhancements” that Ngáti Kuri was able to negotiate over and above the Crown’s 2011 settlement offer package).

In Fee Simple as tenants in common in equal shares with Te Aupóuri:p. Bed of Waihopo lake – 20.46 haq. Bed of lake Ngákeketo – 9 har. Murimotu Island – 8.47 ha

In Fee Simple as tenants in common in equal shares with Te Rarawa, Ngái Takoto and Te Aupóuri:s. Beach sites A, B, C and D – total 214 ha

Commercial Properties (returned in fee simple, the price to be deducted from the financial redress of $21.4m):t. Te Paki Station - $4.69m.

u. Te Hápua and Ngátaki schools – value to be agreed between Ngáti Kuri and the Crown.v. 30% of the Aupöuri Crown Forest – value to be agreed between Ngáti Kuri and the Crown (However, see outstanding key issues below).

Ngáti Kuri was also able to negotiate an increase of $850,000 cultural endowment funding, bringing the total cultural endowment funding to $2.23m. The remaining settlement offer components include items such as the Historical Account, Crown acknowledgements and apology, place name changes and Statutory Acknowledgements. The settlement offer also includes the Te Hiku iwi-wide shared redress relating to the Te Oneroa a Tohe co-governance / co-management board, the Korowai co-governance / co-management Board concerning Conservation Estate lands, and the Social Development Accord.

Outstanding Key Issues

Despite the achievements in 2012, a number of key issues remained unresolved with the Crown.

Aupöuri State Forest

Regarding the return of the Aupöuri forest (ref para 2.v. above), in 2011 the Crown rejected the Te Hiku Forum’s case for its ‘no sale’ value purchase price. Instead, the Crown required that, consistent with the 2010 Te Hiku Agreement in Principle, the Te Hiku iwi pay $7.6m for the return of that whenua. However, in 2012 Ngáti Kuri refused to accept the Crown’s position. Ngáti Kuri based our view on the conviction that (among other things) the Crown must act consistent with its own legislation, the Crown Forests Assets Act 1989. We argued that this legislation intended and created an expectation of legal and moral force that successful Máori claims to Crown Forest land should result in the return of that land to Máori at no cost. While the Crown and Ngáti Kuri seemed to be at a stalemate on the forest transfer price, the Waitangi Tribunal hearings continued into Ngáti Kahu’s application for resumption (at no cost) of Crown Forest and 27B memorialised lands in the Te Hiku area. The complicated question remains: what effect if any will a ‘win’ for Ngáti Kahu in these proceedings have for Ngáti Kuri and the other Te Hiku iwi concerning the forest? To protect their position, Te Rarawa sought in its Deed of Settlement to include a clause that would enable them to benefit from any gains Ngáti Kahu might make before the Tribunal. However, the Crown refused to include such a clause in Te Rarawa’s Deed, leaving it even more uncertain for Ngáti Kuri as to what can be expected regarding an outcome on the forest transfer price issue.

Update on Treaty Negotiations with the Crown

Historical Account, Crown Acknowledgements and Apology

The iwi negotiators submitted our Historical Account drafts to the Office of Treaty Settlements, but advancement with this aspect of redress was somewhat lagging from the Crown side. Ngáti Kuri also raised with the Crown the inclusion of an acknowledgment of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its standards for the treatment of tangata whenua in relation to Treaty settlements. Preliminary indications were that the Crown would resist such a move. However, with extensive negotiations over most of the settlement package concluded, Ngáti Kuri and the Crown should be freed up in 2013 to complete negotiations for the Historical Account, Crown Acknowledgements, Apology and associated matters.

WAI 2360 - Hikitama and Ngá Tama a Tautanui claim

In January 2012, Te Aupóuri signed its Deed of Settlement with the Crown which provided for (among other things) the transfer of Hikitama/Cape View and Ngá Tama a Tautanui (Twin Pá Sites) to Te Aupóuri. A year earlier, Ngáti Kuri had objected to the Crown regarding those transfers. Therefore in February 2012, Graeme Neho lodged a claim with the Tribunal on behalf of Ngáti Kuri seeking an inquiry into the Crown’s decisions to transfer these whenua under that Deed of Settlement to Te Aupóuri. We will continue to monitor developments with this claim in 2013.

Muriwhenua and Párengarenga Incorporations

In 2012, Ngáti Kuri engaged with the Crown about vesting the following assets in the Ngáti Kuri Post-Settlement Governance Entity:

a. The Muriwhenua Incorporation lands, via the creation of an enabling legislative mechanism; and

b. 50% of the Máori Trustee’s shares in the Párengarenga Incorporation (there currently being no law in place to enable such a transfer).

Due to the innovative and complicated nature of these redress proposals, and the associated risk that development of redress mechanisms may further delay a Ngáti Kuri settlement, the Crown considered that a solution outside the settlement process would be prudent. Towards the end of 2012 Ngáti Kuri requested written commitment from the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations and the Minister of Máori Affairs to continue to work with us post-settlement to resolve these matters.

WAI 262 Flora and Fauna Claim

While there were no major developments this reporting period, Ngáti Kuri maintained communications with claimant Saana Murray’s whánau, and we will continue to be available to support the progression of this claim at the appropriate time.

Summary

The Negotiators have consistently maintained that they would only bring a Crown settlement offer back to the iwi which we believe is the best package that could have been negotiated within the constraints of Crown settlement policy. With the guidance from our kaumátua/kuia, and with only a few outstanding issues left on the table, we believe we are nearing the point at which a final settlement offer can be negotiated and presented.

We remain optimistic and committed to this outcome. All going well, we anticipate an announcement in 2013 that will enable Ngáti Kuri to move to a process whereby all uri of Ngáti Kuri 18 years and over will have the opportunity through an organised ratification process to vote on whether they support the final Crown settlement offer, or not.

Náku ná,

Key points from the Trust Board’s AGM, Saturday 24 March 2012

Chairman’s Report

The chair acknowledged the contribution made by Alice Palmer to both the Board and the Negotiators committees.

The Board reinforced its commitment in assisting Tamariki to achieve higher education, and are now looking at funding people who do not necessarily have an academic ability,saying that Ngáti Kuri need to build both professional and technical skills. The criteria for applying for education funding is available on the Ngáti Kuri website.

The purchase of Waimarama Orchards has been a great step in creating a land footprint for Ngáti Kuri. This is the start of building a commercial business for Ngáti Kuri to align with the Board's objectives – local people in local jobs, and some of our people are already involved with harvesting. As our people up-skill and gain the necessary skills there will be future opportunities for Ngáti Kuri to engage in many other roles at Waimarama Orchards, including management.

The Muriwhenua Land Report findings concluded that the Government has to make compensation for the five (5) tribes. The challenge is to develop an asset base for the future of all Ngáti Kuri. So far the Crown is not helping that process or adhering to the Waitangi Report.

Waimarama Orchards was purchased by Ngáti Kuri to signal to the Crown that we don’t need them to make progress. Our aim is to start small and build with the limited resources that we have. The Crown’s job is to ensure that the Tribes have the means to build an economic base.

The chair thanked the Elders for their attendance.We see the role of the kaumátua/kuia growing. Although there is a degree of formality, it is all inclusive and the Ngáti Kuri Board value their input.

Pou

On the 31st January 2012 Cath and Charlie Petera, Merimeri Penfold and others travelled to Rotorua to collect the Pou. A week later it was unveiled at Te Ahu with a dawn blessing. The offical opening was held on April 28th 2012.

There was discussion about the nature of the Pou carvings and the concerns expressed were acknowledged. An explanation of the Pou design was given to the meeting by Pineaha Murray, and a Pou whenua will be prepared in the future to include the Ngáti Kuri stories.

Audited Financial Report

Comment was made that some people did not receivea copy of the report. The financial report was posted to all beneficiaries and a copy made available on the Ngáti Kuri website. If you change your address please notify the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board’s office to ensure that you willreceive your copy.

It was noted that there has been an increase in the AGM meeting expenses. This is a result of using an outside agency to ensure that the entire process is independent. However,it was acknowledged that there is actually little increase in the overall cost when comparing the previous year's total cost by adding in the extra wages, stationery and printing costs.

Each year the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board receive dividends from shares held in Aotearoa Fisheries Ltd (AFL).The Board acknowledged that there is a concern around the valuation of these shares and plans to review the issue.

The difference between the Education Fund and the Discretionary fund was raised:

The Education fund is provided for people to further their development and education. The Discretionary fund provides people with assistance for Kapa Haka, higher sporting representation, and other non-educational applications.

Historical Treaty Settlement report

The Ngáti Kuri Trust Board have not signed a Deed of Settlement, but have an Agreement In Principle and negotiations with the Crown are still underway.

When the Ngáti Kuri negotiators have a Deed of Settlement package that they feel is acceptable to present to iwi, then a hui will be held for the consultation and ratification process of that settlement offer.

The Crown settlement is made up of three different areas: • The historical redress which includes the Crown’s apology, written in the Deed of Settlement

• The commercial redress which includes farm lands

• The cultural redress which includes the Conservation Estate, and the Social Development Accord which provides for co-governance roles.

General Business

Eddie Moses named the hápu of the Tai Tokerau area and those currently representing those hápu.

Ngáti Kuri informed the Minister that we object to any mining in the Te Reinga Basin area, and a hikoi took place on April 28th to actively demonstrate against the mining.

A request has been received from Waka Huia to record the story around the Spiritual Pathway. A hui was held with kaumátua/kuia who decided that a larger meeting is needed, as many Ngáti Kuri do not know the full story. A pánui will be sent out when a date is decided for this hui.

The progress of the name change for the peninsular was raised, but as yet we have not received any further news. However, the Minister has provided us with a verbal undertaking to pursue these changes on our behalf.

An update on the WAI262:

Te Rarawa held a hui about updating the WAI262 stating that it is not just for whánau, and there has been discussion around putting laws and restrictions in place.

Meeting closed

The Chair thanked all who came and supported the AGM, and gave special thanks to everyone who has provided support to the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board.

Congratulations to the trustees who were elected.

The meeting was closed with a karakia by our kaumátua, Karaka Roberts.

Graeme Neho

Graeme has extensive service and experience in governance roles for Ngáti Kuri. He has been involved in the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board since its inception in 1993. The Trust Board, an initiative of Ngáti Kuri kaumátua and kuia was formed to effect the political and commercial aspirations of Ngáti Kuri. He has served on the Board for the last 19 years, of which he was chairman for 16 of those years.

He is currently the Deputy Chairman of the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board and the Chairman of the Muriwhenua Incorporation. He is also an elected Treaty Negotiator for Ngáti Kuri.

Graeme is a strong advocate for all things Ngáti Kuri. His whakapa connections, intimate knowledge of the tribal area of Ngáti Kuri and its history allows him to be a significant contributor.

He is committed to developing and protecting Ngáti Kuri’s tribal assets for current and future generations, and to concluding Ngáti Kuri’s Treaty claims process with the Crown.

" Ngáti Kuri’s future looks bright and the Board has a great team of trustees to take us into the future. I am committed to representing your interests while assisting the Board’s aspirations for Ngáti Kuri."

Tom Petricevich

I was born in Te Hápua and have lived most of my life in the Far North. My father was the late Reverend Walter (Sonny) Petricevich and mother the late Ngamatewhirua (Wati) Murray. My step mother was the late Meremere Petricevich. I am the grandson of Lawrence Petricevich and Makere Hare Raharuhi on my father’s side and Karaihe Piri Murray and Maata Hepia Inia on my mother’s side. Dame Mira Szaszy was my aunty.

I have been happily married to my wife Joan for over fifty years and have three children, Tania, Garth and Michele, five grandchildren and two great children. I have been involved in the passenger transport industry most of my life. In 1994 I formed my own company Commuter Tours and Petricevich Buses based in Kaitaia which has become a successful business involving my family and over twenty five local employees.

I’ve had the privilege of serving on the Ngáti Kuri Trust Board between 1996 and 2003, again since 2008. I am also a mandated member on the Ngáti Kuri Historical Treaty Claims Negotiations team. I personally would like to see Ngáti Kuri Historical Treaty Claims settled as soon as possible, only then can we start planning for the future for all Ngáti Kuri whánau, hápu and iwi.

My Vision for Ngáti Kuri:

One of the key priorities I see for the future is to improve access to health services for all Ngáti Kuri, especially in the preventative health area. I support an increase in further education programmes that make people aware of their health and wellbeing.

Another key priority I see for the future of Ngáti Kuri is enabling us all to make our dreams and aspirations a reality. We can achieve this by taking advantage of the educational opportunities that are available. This means we further develop our assistance in scholarships and tertiary grants for all ages.

A third key priority that I see to a successful future is to support business initiatives and investment that creates job opportunities for Ngáti Kuri.

Haere whakamua tátou katoa kaore te iwi Ngáti Kuri – forward together we will get there.

Sheridan Waitai

Sheridan’s tribal affiliations are Ngáti Kuri, Te Rarawa, Ngái Takoto, and Tainui. She grew up in Te Hiku o te Ika and has contributed to social and health projects and initiatives. Sheridan is passionate about education, health and social wellbeing. She has a good understanding of legislative and policy environment in relation to indigenous issues. At 18 years of age with her sisters she opened a Childcare Centre in Awanui, a small successful family business that has been operating over 14 years.

Sheridan has become a resource person to a number of people and initiatives across the country. She has gained the confidence of her elders and peers both at home and in other parts of the country, and has participated on a number of boards with experience in the management of forums and governance strategy groups.

Sheridan and her children are avid in the collection of plants for the use of rongoa. She also is a member of the Wharewhiri Toi Raranga Roopu, supporting in the administration, capability planning and raranga wánanga. She is a mother to three teenage children and Aunty to many more.

“I want to contribute in a meaningful way that supports Ngáti Kuri, cultural revitalisation, Ngáti Kuri, kaitiaki of our taonga, live and vibrant Ngáti Kuri whánau, hápu and iwi.

Ngáti Kuri tona tikanga, Ngáti Kuri tona Rangatira.
