Nō reira Hineuru ka nui te mihi atu ki a koutou.[I add my acknowledgments to you of Hineuru to those comments from my colleague Louisa who outlined much of the historical background in other words much of the memories in regard to circumstances that impacted on you.I will summarise some of the benefits for us to consider shall we say of how the water flow at Waipuna might further the development of Hineuru. I highly commend your proposal to bring your connections back to those waters in terms of the circumstances for the multitude to chew over insofar as whether Hineuru has a possible connection; if it has there is an issue for Hineuru to sort out.There is much awareness about local council operations in terms of seeking out your views and consulting with you in matters pertaining to the settlement of your bill. There is a provision for you to be on a standing or planning committee shall we say of your local council as their representative on that other entity dealing with issues concerning the Rangitāiki. There you are the time has come to view that situation whereby tribes work in collaboration with regional councils on the kinds of traditional treasures that are there in their own region as may arise.Now you have seen the situation again where you have an opportunity to purchase that Woodstock chattel—even though the price for that might be too high perhaps the main reason for that being that the mountain of Hineuru which was mentioned to you is there. Also present are aspects where funding is required to extend your work on your customs and on your obligations to the various characteristics of Hineuru. That is a good job for the younger generation.So those are some of the benefits I have observed plus the tribal focus for Hineuru in regard to the pillars to be erected for you own house—the six pillars mentioned for the house. I have been thinking about them and came to the conclusion now that is a rare breed to build a house for the coming generations so that they fully comprehend this is what Hineuru means to your region here is Hineuru's real objective here are tomorrow's visions here are the stories about the ancestors who live on inside this house that you are building. Therefore there is much to commend you on.Many many stories have been set down before you and observed. In terms of these revelations inasmuch as the objectives are concerned you indeed have the remedy. You have the attributes to strengthen yourselves but I am amazed at the level of support you are getting from neighbouring tribes—in other words from the Maungaharuru-Tangitū Trust. Their petition and support arrived before the Māori Affairs Committee. That was admirable because you have lived closely with each other; and with their accounts to improve to line up our thoughts and connection as a tribe to Jesus shall we say less onerously—I have much admiration for you. I also note the circumstances in regard to the support from Tangōio Marae. It is wonderful to see these qualities amidst the tribe around these kinds of difficulties in terms fulfilling Treaty matters. So I have much admiration for you collectively Hineuru.]I just wanted to acknowledge the benefits of this settlement and importantly the house that is being erected by Hineuru for the future benefit of the next generation holding on to those very important aspects of their past their experiences their connections to their land but also more importantly of how they envisage the fruition of all those aspects of Hineuru identity to transfer to the next generation. But I want to end simply with the concluding statements from the Ngāti Hineuru Iwi Inc. and Te Kōpere o te iwi o Hineuru Trust submission. They conclude their submission by saying: Overall the negotiation of our settlement is the best that we could do at this time. Our people have supported us through the ups and the downs. The ratification results showed that there was strong support for signing the Hineuru settlement. The signing at Parliament in April this year was a momentous occasion and we can only build our relationship with the Crown. Finally having been through this settlement journey we wish to acknowledge all of our kuia and koroua who fought to have the stories of Hineuru iwi told. We also wish to acknowledge all of our people who have worked hard and who have persevered to get us to where we are today. It has been a long hard road for Hineuru but we are at the dawn of a new day where Hineuru iwi can stand proud and strong and build a better future for our people now and into the future. Mai Hineuru mo Hineuru."No reira ka waihotia ēnei kupu mā koutou te whakautu ki a koutou anō mā koutou ano hei whakakapi ngā kōrero mō mātou. Ka whai mātou ki te tautoko ā koutou nei tino whainga hei painga mō ā koutou whakatipuranga tēnā tātou katoa. [I leave these words for you to answer yourselves and for you to close the speeches for us. We will continue to support your goals for the betterment of your next generation. Thank you all.]"
