(Picture supplied by Hawke’s Bay Today) Ngäti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated has been a proud sponsor of the Kahungunu Mäori Sports Awards for the past few years. A partnership between Sport Hawke’s Bay and Ngati Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated was initiated in 1999. The relationship has grown from that time to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the two parties at Waipatu Marae mid 2001. The Ngäti Kahungunu Sports Awards have been announced a success and a positive focus for the iwi to portray Kahungunu role models and achievements. This year the Kahungunu Mäori Sports Awards event held at the Pettigrew Green Arena in Taradale portrayed a high standard that complemented the evening, depicting a touch of class in pursuit of excellence. Those in attendance enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere and entertainment while waiting in anticipation for the announcement of the category winners and the overall 2003 Kahungunu Mäori Sportsperson of the Year. The 2003 Kahungunu Mäori Sports Awards acknowledged the following people: Junior Sportswoman of the Year: Ramona Belmont - NZ Women’s Snooker/Billiards, Junior Sportsman of the Year: Nui Bartlett – HB Magpies and NZ Men’s Touch Team, Mäori Administrator of the Year: Carlien Paul – NZ Swimming, National Softball and Regional Netball, Senior Sportsman of the Year: Paul Winitana – NZ Tall Black and Mäori Koru Captain, Coach of the Year: Dion Crouch – Zero Tolerance Kick Boxing Trainer. The 2003 Kahungunu Mäori Sportsperson of the Year was awarded jointly to Ramona Belmont and Nui Bartlett. NKII congratulates all those who were nominated in the various categories and wish them every success for 2004. We also acknowledge Sam Christie and Gevana Dean of Sport HB, for organising this positive event, evidence of the strong relationship between our two organisations. Planning of the 2004 Kahungunu Mäori Sports Awards, are well underway. In less than 15 months the Inter Iwi Sports Challenge will take place here in Kahungunu. Three iwi: Kahungunu, Te Arawa and Tainui will compete in the 2nd tri-annual Inter Iwi Sports Challenge hosted by Ngäti Kahungunu Iwi. This event requires quality planning and extensive preparation and already a committee has met to identify what needs to be done to make this event a great success. Ideally each Marae will conduct a sports challenge to lead up to an inter Marae challenge, thereafter a Taiwhenua challenge that will lead up to the main inter iwi tournament. If you are interested in learning more about the Ngäti Kahungunu Sports Challenge contact Danielle Keil-Lambert or Sam Christie at the Pettigrew Green Arena (06) 845-9333. The Ngäti Kahungunu Mäori Hockey Committee plans to hold their inaugural mixed junior Hockey Tournament on 7th-8th of February 2004, at Legends Hockey Stadium, Park Island, Napier. The Committee hopes to draw six teams to Napier for this weekend tournament mainly from the Ngäti Kahungunu area. Accommodation will be provided at local marae and kura kaupapa with a night of kapa haka entertainment. Ngäti Kahungunu Mäori Hockey will enter two teams which are primarily made up of Provincial Representative Age Group Hockey players under the age of 17. If anyone is interested in entering a team or needs further information, please contact the Secretary, Angie Fergus on any of the following: Email: angief@ihug.co.nz, home: 06 834-2924 or work: 06 974-4307.
Five years ago a couple of Mäori hockey parents decided that there was not enough skill building for our tamariki. In this vein in 1999 we embarked upon our journey of organising an inaugural Hockey Camp for young Mäori players. Ngäti Kahungunu Black Sticks, Caryn Paewai and Tina Bell-Kake were approached to coach and upskill our tamariki and provide good role models. According to our tamariki and parents this Camp was a success! Since this time we have held three further Junior Mäori Hockey Camps where tamariki me rangatahi from Wairarapa through to Poverty Bay have attended. Mäori Players from the Blacksticks, the NZ Men’s Team and the NZ Mäori Men’s Team have attended and have provided outstanding coaching and leadership skills. Though we would have liked our tamariki to have participated in the Iwi Sport Challenge, we decided that we would use our initiative and hold a tournament where young players are able to network with other provinces. Our Mäori kids need to have opportunities in their sport and we hope that we can provide some assistance to help them strive for their goals by offering these opportunities. Secretary: Angie Fergus For the past 6 years Kaitoki, Makirikiri and Whiti te Ra Marae have hosted a Marae Golf Tournament. Each year more and more people have participated. The idea of each marae taking turns to host gives that marae the opportunity to raise funds. This year all funds will go to Kaitoki Marae. Tee-off is at 10.00am on Saturday 28th February 2004 at the Dannevirke Golf Club. Entry fee is only $20.00 which includes morning tea and an evening meal. You’re playing for the ‘Dave Barber Memorial Cup’ and the ‘Inaugural Inter-Marae Trophy’. Entries close on Sunday 22nd February 2004, so hurry up and get in with a grin.

The U21 Women’s team came third overall with the Open Mixed making it to the semi-finals and the U21 Men’s team winning their section in an exciting final. A total of 19 Kahungunu rangatahi were selected for the Mäori National Squads intending to participate in the Youth World Cup in 2005. Wahine Community Nurse shares her aspirations with the iwi Ko Kahuranaki raua ko Maungakahia oku Maunga Ko Ngai Te Rangikoianake raua ko Ngai Tu oku hapu Ko Ngäti Kahungunu raua ko Ngäti Rongomaiwahine oku iwi Ko Takitimu toku waka Ko Ada Hapuku raua ko Hamiora Tangiora oku Matua Ko Angeline Tangiora toku ingoa Angeline Tangiora born and bred in the community of Te Hauke Heretaunga, has nursed the Hawke’s Bay community for the past 12 years. As a youngster her career focus was to become a secretary. However with the influence of her mother, Ada Tangiora, Angeline reluctantly began studies towards becoming a nurse. In 1976 she completed her training which meant staying at the hospital quarters and working in the hospital for 3 years as a registered nurse before moving into the community. Believing she lacked the passion to be a nurse, she decided to leave the country to travel the world, where her nursing qualification came in handy and she began nursing in Australia. Angeline returned home 15 years later and her passion grew stronger as she saw the health needs in her community. Angeline initiated some wonderful projects that to this day are still unfolding. On her return to Kahungunu she saw many changes in the Health system that were positive for Mäori. Angeline worked with Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga Hauora which is now one of Heretaunga’s main services to the community. She then moved on to work with Te Roopu Huihuinga Hauora and created a support group for community nurses where they were able to meet on a regular basis to share with each other and nurture each other so that they could be more effective in the community for our people. Recently Angeline left the workforce to further her studies by completing her Masters Degree in Nursing and Management. The objective of this move is to gain a higher qualification and come back into the health sector prepared for a leadership role rather than working at grass roots level. Angeline said that we have many Mäori Health providers working at grass roots and it’s time for us to move to the next level. Angeline hopes that other Mäori workers and nurses will follow so that Mäori representation at Management level is strong and powerful. Good luck Angeline!
