Last month saw the sudden andsadpassingofTePurao teRangiParata. Pura was a well-knownrangatira amongst us – treasuredand highly respected he will begreatlymissed.Our kaumātua were wellrepresentedat the recent blessingof the new Christchurch CivicBuilding. The building has beennamed Te Hononga by the late

Tāua Ruahine Crofts, who chose the name to reflecttheunionandpartnershipbetweenNgāiTahuand theChristchurchCityCouncil.Thebuildingisakeylong-terminvestmentforthetribe,whichhalfownsthebuildingandsowillreceivehalftherentoverasubstantialperiodoftime. It isagoodexampleofan iwi-publicpartnership.Iwi ownership or part ownership of core Crown andlocal government assets reflects long-term economicaspirationsandlong-termusagerequirementsonbehalfofiwiandthepublicinstitutioninvolved.Alsothismonth,anotherimportanttribaleventwastherelease of the results of theANZNgāiTahu FinancialKnowledgeSurvey.TheresultsrevealthatthefinancialknowledgeofiwimembersisonaparwiththegeneralNewZealandpopulation.OfthoseNgāiTahusurveyed,40% had high financial knowledge compared to 43%for the general New Zealand population, 31% hadmedium financial knowledge compared to 26% of theNewZealandpopulationand29%ofNgāiTahuhadlowfinancial knowledge compared to 31% of the broaderpopulation.TheeventwasattendedbytheHonDrPitaSharplesandvisitinginternationalfinancialeducationexpertProfessorElaineKempson,bothofwhomexpressedtheirsupportforoureffortstogathersuchdata.

Myfeelingisthatwhilethereisstillawaytogo,theworkwe are undertaking through our tribal saving scheme,Whai Rawa, and other initiatives is having a positiveeffectonourpeople.Finally,IwishtoreportonmymeetingswiththeSpecialRapporteurduringhisrecentvisittoNewZealand.TheUnited Nation’s Special Rapporteur, Professor JamesAnaya, is responsible for promoting and reportingon the human rights situation of indigenous peopleinternationally.In2005,ProfessorAnaya’spredecessor,RodolfoStavenhagen, issuedapowerful reporton thehumanrightssituationofMāori.Thismonth’svisitwasafollow-uptothatreportandanopportunityfortheSpecialRapporteur to meet with government, iwi and hapū,academicsandhumanrightsorganisations.Hewas particularly interested in the findings from the2005visit,whichincludedhumanrightsconcernsaroundconstitutionalissues,Treatysettlements,iwi/hapūrightsto lands and natural resources, criminal justice issuesandsocialjusticeissues;andtheforeshoreandseabedissue and the Government’s model for replacing the2004Act.I was able to meet Professor Anaya as part of theMinisterial Taskforce at an informal dinner hosted byHon Dr Pita Sharples, and also at an iwi hui hostedby Ngāpuhi chairman Sonny Tau and Ngāti WhatuachairwomanNaidaGlavish,whereIwasaskedtospeakonbehalfoftheIwiLeadersForumabouttheforeshoreandseabedissue.In the media, the Special Rapporteur has stated thathewillberaisingconcernsabouttheTreatysettlementprocess in his report to the United Nations on NewZealand.Hebelievesthatwhilesomeprogresshasbeenmade on the recommendations of his predecessor’sreport to repeal the Foreshore andSeabedAct, thereareclearlyproblemswiththewayclaimsmaybesettled.
