"Iwi leader Ken Mair says the turnout in Whanganui of hundreds of people in December to protest against government policies is “just the beginning” of action.
“That was an amazing turnout of people who are extremely concerned about what this coalition government is doing in the context of the attacks on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, te reo Māori, the health initiatives around smoking … even the Fair Pay Agreements, because that’s about supporting vulnerable people on low pay and a large number of our people, Māori and Pacific Island, are in that category.”
Iwi leaders are expected to travel from across the country to Tūrangawaewae Marae on Saturday in response to Te Paki o Matariki, a royal proclamation issued by Kiingi Tuheitia late last year, calling for all iwi to unite.
Kiingi Tuheitia has called on all iwi to attend a Hui-ā-Motu (national meeting) to work out a unified response. Thousands are expected at Tūrangawaewae Marae, with the hui expected to last at least six hours.
The hui will include a series of workshops focusing on te reo and tikanga, national identity, economic wellbeing, and the Treaty of Waitangi and proposed reforms. A rangatahi forum will also be held. Keynote speakers include Sir Mason Durie, Sir Timoti Karetu and Che Wilson.
Tumu Mauri will sit in at each session as sources of mātauranga (knowledge). They include Sir Tipene O’Regan, Dame Silvia Cartwright and Gerrard Albert.
Sessions on the economy will feature Hone Harawira, Dave Letele, Tina Porou and Mavis Mullins. The te reo and tikanga forum will include Pania Papa and Tatere McLeod, while Dame Jenny Shipley, Aupito Sio, Rikirangi Gage, Ruakere Hond, Hinewehi Mohi and Dr Hana O’Regan will focus on national identity. The Treaty forum will include Tina Ngata, Pita Tipene and Rob Ruha.
The workshops will be led by journalists and Māori leaders including Julian Wilcox and Mihingarangi Forbes."
