This week Ngāti Tama is leading the Te Tauihu Online Karakia and invite all whānau who would like to contribute to come along.

The Te Tauihu Zoom is a chance all whānau who whakapapa to Te Tauihu to come together online to reflect and karakia. This is also a great opportunity for whānau to take advantage of an opportunity to contribute to the evening by sharing a karakia you know or are learning. Karakia can be from any denomination, language or past-time.

If you attended the Ngāti Tama Wānanga in April this year you would have received a list of karakia, these can also be found on our website.

Hīmene – Koutou Katoa Rā

Koutou katoa rā, mea iti nei,
Haere mai koutou kei whakaroa.
Tēnei a Ihu, nana te kī,
Haere mai rā ki au.

Chorus
Nei te hari, tino hari nui, ā te wā e tūtataki ai,
Hui atu tātou, rōpū katoa, runga te rangi nei.

Tukua mai rātou, nei tāna kī,
Āku i pai ai, kei puritia;
Mine mai koutou, anga mai nei
Haere mai rā ki au.

Nei rā whakaaro, tūturutia,
Tāna e kī nei, me whakaāe.
Nāna te tono, nāna te kī,
Haere mai rā ki au.

The next Youth Parliament will occur in 2022, with Youth MPs participating in a tenure programme from 1 March to 31 August, including attending a two-day Youth Parliament event in Wellington on 19 and 20 July. The Youth Parliament programme gives young people the opportunity to understand and be a part of the Parliamentary process and connect with their communities. It will be a significant opportunity for up to 120 young New Zealanders to gather the views of their peers and bring young peoples’ voice to Parliament.

Every Member of Parliament will select a Youth MP to represent their community. I’m seeking applications from interested students from Ngāti Tama ki Te Waipounamu to be included in my Youth MP selection process for the Nelson Electorate. Applicants will need to make a submission highlighting an issue that affects the youth of Nelson, the youth of Aotearoa New Zealand or youth globally, and their ideas for addressing the issue. The submission can be in the form of an essay (suggested word count 1000-2000 words), a recorded speech, a video or a creative contribution, such as an art work or song. I will shortlist five applicants, who will then give a short 5-minute speech to a small audience and a local selection panel. Applicants can send submissions to nelson@parliament.govt.nz .

I’m looking for a young person who is:

• aged 16 – 18 years old (inclusive) on 12 November 2021
• active in their community or region, or looking for ways to become active in their community or region (acknowledging that some candidates may not be familiar with politics or activism prior to applying)
• able to attend Youth Parliament on 19 and 20 July 2022 and commit to the Youth MP tenure, from 1 March to 31 August 2022 (training will be offered at the beginning of this tenure)
• interested in youth issues, politics and / or social change
• able to seek the views, opinions and ideas of their peers and represent them at the two-day Youth Parliament 2022 event
• prepared to work within the protocols and behavioural expectations of Youth Parliament 2022.

I would also like to encourage a range of voices to step forward. Like New Zealand Parliament, Youth Parliament will benefit from a range of voices, so I encourage young people with diverse backgrounds, abilities, and identities to step forward. Pastoral care will be provided, and accessibility requirements, such as NZSL interpretation / translation, will be provided for.
If you have any questions or would like more information on Youth Parliament 2022, please contact the Youth Parliament project team at youthparliament@parliament.govt.nz . Alternatively, please contact my office on 03 539 0480 or at nelson@parliament.govt.nz .

Yours faithfully

MP for Nelson

AGENDA

GUEST SPEAKERS

Ngāti Tama ki Te Waipounamu Trust would like to introduce Kate Reddock and Raewyn Klenner to the roles of Associate Trustees. As Associate Trustees Kate and Raewyn will sit alongside Trustees on the Ngāti Tama ki Te Waipounamu Trust Board until the 2023 Hui-ā-Tau AGM.

The pair are the second round of appointments as Associates to the Board. The role of Associates is to create pathways for adult registered members to develop the knowledge and skills required for future potential roles in the Ngāti Tama Group, including Trustee, Director, employee, appointed kōmiti member, and/or mandated representative.

Kate Reddock – Ngāti Tama Associate Trustee

Currently I am studying level 3 and 4 Te Reo at Te Wananga O Aotearoa in Ōtautahi and last year completed my level 1 and 2 Te Reo studies.I have had a varied professional background working for several large corporate companies, most recently for ANZCO Foods as a Logistics Planner. This year at ANZCO I have volunteered to be part of a working group that has been formed to create knowledge and awareness of Te Reo Māori and culture. Away from study and mahi I love the outdoors. Weekends will find me out with my Border Collies on the beach, hiking, out on the farm or competing in agility. The position of Associate Trustee will be my first governance role.

Something I am keen to get behind is the revitalisation of our reo, including the use of our mita. I believe our reo is our taonga and something that should be preserved. I’m hoping to bring some ideas to the table on how we can help whānau with their journey learning Te Reo Māori, or perhaps encourage whānau to take the first step. I’m looking forward to understanding more about Tama’s values and goals and how I can contribute.

I’d like to see a future where our reo is strong and whānau are confident to kōrero māori at home and on the marae. It is my vision that one day in the future we will have more fluent speakers of Te Reo Māori representing Tama.

Raewyn Klenner – Ngāti Tama Associate Trustee

for the Māori Trustee at Te Tumu Paeroa for a few years. My sister has lived in Te Tauihu for a while and on our first visit with her my boys especially didnt want to leave. Our visits have mainly been to Wakapuaka and I’ve been lucky to have travelled across Te Tauihu for mahi as well.

My motiviation in applying for this role is to maintain the connection for my whānau and to learn. This is an awesome opportunity to be amongst Trustees who are very clear on their role having held these positions for many years. I feel very privileged and grateful.

I think it’s a really exciting time for iwi Māori. Many iwi are post-settlement and are really clear on the vision they have for their people. We have whānau on all fronts speaking out about issues that really affect us as Maōri and change is happening. My aspirations for Ngāti Tama uri is to reconnect our people so that they can be part of this journey whether that be through wānanga, employment opportunties, as kaitiaki etc.

Lastly, a bit about me: I love to bake. I’d have dessert first and cake for breakfast. I have three boys who are the best and we live in the pa surrounded by our whānau.
