Lyndon HūhanaHŪHANA LYNDON (Green): E mihi ana ki a tātou i tēnei pō. He reo mihi tēnei ki ngā whanaunga o Ngāti Tara Tokanui. Ko ngā uri o Tara te hononga o Te Awapū he mokopuna o tēnei tupuna o Tara ka moe i a Te Rae nō Ngā Mārama anō hoki. Ka puta ko tēnei iwi rangatira o tātou ko Ngāti Tara Tokanui.E mihi ana ki ngā rangatira o tērā rautau arā ko Taiwhakaea ko Matarehua ko Tikitearoha me Te Whakamaromaioro. Ēnei o ngā rangatira i whakapaua te kaha mō te ora o tēnei iwi o tātou o Ngāti Tara Tokanui.[I greet us all this evening. This is a voice of greeting to the relatives of Ngāti Tara Tokanui. To the descendants of Tara the connection of Te Awapū a grandchild of this ancestor of Tara who married Te Rae who was also from the Ngā Mārama people. From this union emerged this noble people of ours Ngāti Tara Tokanui. I acknowledge the leadership of last century Taiwhakaea Matarehua Tikitaaroha and Te Whakamaromaioro. These leaders who expended their strength for the wellbeing of this iwi of ours of Ngāti Tara Tokanui.]I wish to acknowledge those tūpuna of the times of the 1800s that saw the confiscation of large blocks of their whenua sold by others to the Crown and as I heard from my colleague the way with which the map was already laid out for how colonisation was to roll out in Hauraki—thank you Banks. Thank you Banks for what you did in mapping out how you were going to raupatu whenua for our people of the Coromandel. Why do I say thanks? I don't say thanks happily; I say thanks because that's what we got. We have an iwi that lost 290000 acres around the Tauranga Katikati rohe. It was sold by others to the Crown and this is not something dissimilar because the Crown had a kaupapa of individualisation of title and seeking to purchase large tracts of our land out from underneath the iwi who actually lived there. That is the experience of Ngāti Tara Tokanui.As I read the history and I reflect on even the marine and coastal area claims—the takutai moana claims that this iwi has currently live for their rohe moana—I think of the gestures of mahi tahi and it is true: they tried to engage in an economy which was not ours aka those minefields. In the 1860s we saw rangatira try to align and work with the Crown to establish minefields in their tribal rohe. Now again we see the individualisation of title as a means to alienate the whenua from this iwi rangatira and while we might reflect and say Well they're a small iwi. They're doing pretty good and this settlement is about fairness and justice and honouring Te Tiriti." well I argue it isn't because I want to mihi to the Red Book. For those of you that don't know the Red Book that's the Crown rule book for Treaty settlements and this iwi Ngāti Tara Tokanui—as in the tribes of Hauraki—have done their best according to the rules set by the Crown. Because the Crown sets the rules the Crown negotiates and the Crown seeks to save a dollar and not spend a dollar there is no justice for this iwi. They are trying to rebuild their iwi. The $100000 offered to them for revitalisation—when you are stripped of your land your language and culture and $6 million is offered to you as your settlement full and final for all your losses for 184 years? Meinga meinga nā wai i tika. Tēnei mahi he mahi rangatira nā te Kāwanatanga? Kāhore kāhore. E mihi nui ana ahau ki tēnei iwi o tatou e noho pōhara nei mō te wā roa. [Is that so; according to who. Is this a prestigious effort made by the Government? Incorrect incorrect. I acknowledge this nation of ours who have been in poverty for a long time.]But within the rules of the Red Book they did their best and they've negotiated this very small settlement—because you see $1.6 billion was offered to South Canterbury Finance. If we want to do what's right then there is plenty of opportunity for a willing Crown to do what's right and support Ngāti Tara Tokanui to truly re-establish their tribal footprint in their tribal rohe. This is about raupatu this is about tāhae and if we want to really honour Te Tiriti look at a offering genuine compensation package that can re-establish this tribe tēnei iwi rangatira o tatou ki runga i tō rātou ake whenua [this esteemed nation of ours on their own land]. So thank you for Paeroa School—that's a good contribution. Thank you for the seven properties that are being offered to Ngāti Tara Tokanui. But as an uri of Hauraki I say wow! When will we as this House genuinely uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi? When will we come as negotiators and look at something that is a redress package that will uphold the mana of these tribes who have lost so much?Nō reira e te Whare tēnei taku īnoi ki a tatou te Whare Pāremata. Kia ora.[So dear House this is my plea to us the parliamentary House. Kia ora.]"
