From <strong>the</strong> desk of <strong>the</strong> Minister of Mäori AffairsTënä koutou katoa e ngä iwi, i tënei tau hou.Ko te wä nui o te tau mö te whakawhanaungatanga, ko ngä rä whakatä ote Kirihimete. Ko te tümanako, kua rongo koutou i ngä painga o te nohohei whänau. Kua tangi koutou ki ö koutou mate o te tau; kua whiriwhirikoutou i ngä take o te wä, kua täkaro tahi, otirä kua whakapakari koutoui a koutou, kia kaha ake ai mö te tau hou.Whakawhanaungatanga, <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me of this edition of Kökiri, isabout building and streng<strong>the</strong>ning a sense of family among a groupof individuals. During <strong>the</strong> Christmas holidays most of us will haveexperienced that reality and felt <strong>the</strong> benefits. Families give <strong>the</strong>ir membersstrength, if everyone works at <strong>the</strong> relationships.The Treaty of Waitangi was also about whakawhanaungatanga. There wasno way, in 1840, that Mäori would invite Päkehä to settle in Aotearoawithout expecting whanaungatanga to develop.It’s taken a while, but Treaty settlements are helping to restore <strong>the</strong>vision of our tïpuna. The investigation of history, <strong>the</strong> acknowledgementof past injustice and an apology by <strong>the</strong> Crown, help to restore positiverelationships with iwi as a platform for working toge<strong>the</strong>r (see KaupapaMatua p23-25).We have seen that what’s good for Mäori is good for New Zealand, as iwiinvest in <strong>the</strong>ir local and regional economies to create wealth and jobs;provide health, education and social services; and participate in localgovernment.As iwi regain control over <strong>the</strong>ir cultural, social and economic destiny,<strong>the</strong>y are starting to work with <strong>the</strong> Crown on business and developmentprojects overseas.Here we see <strong>the</strong> distinctive cultural contribution that Mäori bring – notjust indigenous branding like <strong>the</strong> haka, but traditional ways of buildingrelationships with o<strong>the</strong>rs: whakawhanaungatanga.What’s good for Mäori business is good for New Zealand Inc, so this cooperationand whanaungatanga between iwi and <strong>the</strong> Crown benefits allNew Zealanders.Nö reira kia kaha te mahi tahi – work hard at working toge<strong>the</strong>r!Kia ora,Hon Dr Pita R Sharples,Minister of Mäori Affairs.Kökiri is published bi-monthly by<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Puni</strong> Kökiri (The Ministry ofMäori Development).

Whänau OraNational-MäoriParty AccordThe Government is renewing its supportfor <strong>the</strong> evolving focus and ongoingimplementation of <strong>the</strong> Whänau Oraapproach.Three key commitments are outlined in aRelationship Accord negotiated between<strong>the</strong> National-led administration and <strong>the</strong>Mäori Party:• A specific annual Whänau Oraappropriation will be developed toimprove <strong>the</strong> reach, capability andeffectiveness of Whänau Ora.• The Government and <strong>the</strong> MäoriParty will actively work towards<strong>the</strong> establishment of a standalonecommissioning agency over <strong>the</strong> next 12months.• Whänau Ora will increasingly bringa greater focus on addressing <strong>the</strong>issues of employment, housing andeducational achievement as wellas supporting <strong>the</strong> most vulnerablewhänau, including those on lowincomes.Hon Tariana Turia, who has beenreappointed as Minister for WhänauOra, says <strong>the</strong>se are important measureswhich <strong>the</strong>y will closely focus on in <strong>the</strong>irdetermination to improve <strong>the</strong> lives of allNew Zealanders.“Whänau Ora is about enabling ourfamilies to dream <strong>the</strong> dream, to bringtoge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> resources that can create<strong>the</strong>ir own opportunity to grow.“It is not a soft option. Trusting peopleto find solutions for <strong>the</strong>ir own lives takestime – it is about dismantling <strong>the</strong> reliancethat we have placed on providers andgovernment departments to find newways of believing in ourselves.”“Whänau potential is high and readyto be unleashed; Whänau Ora providernetworks are extensive, committed,innovative and ready to learn fromeach o<strong>the</strong>r; and Whänau Ora is alreadyanchored on solid foundations that willbring fresh opportunities and gains forwhänau in <strong>the</strong> decade ahead.”Professor Sir Mason Durie – WhänauOra Governance Group Chair.<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Puni</strong> Kökiri works closely with <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Social Development and <strong>the</strong> Ministryof Health to support <strong>the</strong> Governance Group to implement Whänau Ora – an inclusiveapproach to providing services and opportunities to all New Zealand families in need.• Twenty-five provider collectives have completed Programmes of Action that outlinekey steps <strong>the</strong>y will undertake to transform from individual to whänau-centred servicesas part of <strong>the</strong> Whänau Ora approach. All submitted Programmes of Action have beenconsidered by <strong>the</strong> Governance Group.• The Governance Group has now approved core capability and capacity investmentpackages to support <strong>the</strong> change management plans for 18 of <strong>the</strong> 25 providers. Thisforms <strong>the</strong> most significant investments in Whänau Ora to date – with multi-yearfunding involved – and <strong>the</strong> contracting of <strong>the</strong>se is underway.• Central to <strong>the</strong> development of more holistic service delivery to whänau has been <strong>the</strong>work to progress integrated contracts. This has ga<strong>the</strong>red considerable momentum over<strong>the</strong> last 10 months with increasing support from some District Health Boards as keyfunders and contract holders for <strong>the</strong> providers.• By October 2011, 15 Whänau Ora providers had entered into integrated contracts and afur<strong>the</strong>r 20 are under development. The Ministry for Social Development will continue tosupport o<strong>the</strong>r government agencies and providers to fur<strong>the</strong>r integrate contracts.• The Whänau Ora navigator model – supported by funding administered by <strong>Te</strong> <strong>Puni</strong> Kökiri– enables on-going training for frontline provider collective staff to ensure <strong>the</strong>y are wellpositioned to engage with and take a leading role in better outcomes for whänau.• Almost all <strong>the</strong> provider collectives in <strong>the</strong> first wave have developed an approach basedon a whänau navigator model. Each of <strong>the</strong>se navigators is designed to work with at least20 whänau at a time. Additionally, provider collectives have been engaged in whänauplanning and implementing whänau plans.• All eight of <strong>the</strong> developing collectives have received resourcing to support <strong>the</strong>irdevelopment.

<strong>Te</strong> Ao MäoriNew BeginningsAlthough he’s still in his early thirties, Jamie Tuuta has packed a lotinto his life and has had some significant governance roles in somemajor Mäori organisations, like chairing <strong>the</strong> major Taranaki Parininihiki Waitotara Incorporation.In keeping with his Taranaki roots and whakapapa he has also chaired<strong>the</strong> Ngäti Mutunga O Wharekauri Iwi Asset Holding Company.When <strong>the</strong> Minister of Mäori Affairs announced <strong>the</strong> appointment inMay last year he said, “Jamie Tuuta is an outstanding example of <strong>the</strong>new generation of Mäori leaders.”The new Trustee took over in August and is very up beat about hisjob. He began cautiously, reviewing all <strong>the</strong> chores that <strong>the</strong> Trusteehas to undertake and looking at ways <strong>the</strong>y might be able to improve<strong>the</strong>ir services to Mäori landowners.He believes many Mäori simply don’t know what <strong>the</strong> Trusteeundertakes. Currently <strong>the</strong> office manages about 100 000 hectaresof land on behalf of <strong>the</strong> owners, <strong>the</strong> land is in about 2000 blocks,<strong>the</strong>y have 130 000 client accounts and hold 65 million dollars ofclient funds.He says for too long <strong>the</strong> Mäori Trustee has been <strong>the</strong> last resort whenlandowners go looking for help to administers <strong>the</strong>ir properties andhe wants to turn that around so that <strong>the</strong> Trustee is who strugglinglandowners think of first for help and advice.Under <strong>the</strong> legislation <strong>the</strong> Mäori Trustee is a sole trustee, andalthough he isn’t strictly required to Jamie has appointed an advisoryboard to help him with his work.His appointment is for five years.The new Mäori Trustee – Jamie Tuuta – has been quietly settling intohis new role, but already his arrival indicates a new beginning for <strong>the</strong>organisation, which has been around since <strong>the</strong> 1920s.At 34 he’s certainly <strong>the</strong> youngest person to hold <strong>the</strong> job, which in<strong>the</strong> past used to be part of <strong>the</strong> public service and allocated to apublic servant.The previous Trustee – John Paki – who held <strong>the</strong> role for someyears led <strong>the</strong> transition that saw <strong>the</strong> office set up as a standalone organisation with its own building and outside of <strong>the</strong> publicservice. Having its own head office building has allowed <strong>the</strong> Trusteeto ga<strong>the</strong>r o<strong>the</strong>r Mäori organisations around it in <strong>the</strong> building inWakefield street in Wellington; Mäori Tourism and <strong>the</strong> Federation ofMäori Authorities have moved in.T E P U N I K ö K I R I | K ö K I R I | H u i - t a n g u r u — P o u t ü - t e - r a n g i 2 0 1 221

Policy wähangaMäori, Young and in Demand<strong>Te</strong> <strong>Puni</strong> Kökiri commissioned researchsuggests <strong>the</strong>re may be a window ofopportunity for Mäori economic futures as aresult of demographic trends being forecast.The research, released in <strong>the</strong> report Mäori:Demographic Dividend for Economic Return,says that <strong>the</strong> Mäori population’s youthfulness,following a wave of retiring New Zealand babyboomers, will become vital in creating NewZealand’s workforce of <strong>the</strong> future.At <strong>the</strong> heart of this possibility is <strong>the</strong> conceptof <strong>the</strong> demographic dividend; a period duringdemographic change which exposes <strong>the</strong>potential for an economic dividend or bonus.Differences in <strong>the</strong> timing and speed ofdemographic change between Mäori andEuropean populations have led to verydifferent age structures.In 2006, half of <strong>the</strong> Mäori population was agedless than 23 years. By comparison, <strong>the</strong> halfwaypoint for <strong>the</strong> European population was 38 years.As a result, Mäori account for a significantlylarger proportion of those aged 0-19 years(21%) than <strong>the</strong>y do of <strong>the</strong> total population(14%). By comparison, Mäori account for only 1in 20 of those at 65+ years of age.Figure 1: Age-sex structure by major ethnic group* (2011 on 2006 Base)AgeAge90+80-8470-7460-6450-5440-4430-3420-2410-140-490+80-8470-7460-6450-5440-4430-3420-2410-140-4Maori8.06 .0 4.02 .0 0.02 .0 4.06 .0 8.0Percentage at each ageThe report also points out <strong>the</strong> demographictrend of <strong>the</strong> baby boomer phenomenon whichsees <strong>the</strong>m entering retirement en masse thisyear and asks “who will be <strong>the</strong>re to replace<strong>the</strong>m?” The future labour market, <strong>the</strong>refore,will be tighter than it is now with a muchhigher proportion of retirees to those working.The historical coincidence of a youthfulMäori population alongside a significantlyolder European one reveals <strong>the</strong> potentialwindow of opportunity for Mäori who willmake up a much larger proportion of <strong>the</strong>working age group. The young will be in evershorter supply and ever-greater demand in<strong>the</strong> labour market of <strong>the</strong> future.However, <strong>the</strong> report cautions that thispotential can only be realised if <strong>the</strong>re hasbeen sufficient investment in social capital,especially education, and facilitated by anappropriate policy environment.The full report, written by Professor NatalieJackson for NZIER, can be downloaded at <strong>Te</strong><strong>Puni</strong> Kökiri’s website: www.tpk.govt.nz/en/in-print/our-publications/90+80-8470-7460-6450-5440-4430-3420-2410-140-4European / New Zealander / O<strong>the</strong>rMales Females90+80-84 Males Females70-7460-6450-5440-4430-3420-2410-140-48.06 .0 4.0 2.0 0.0 2.0 4.06 .0 8.0Percentage at each ageMalesFemales*Based on multiple count ethnicity (Series 6 - see Appendix B)AgeAge8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0Percentage at each ageMalesAsianFemales8.06 .0 4.02 .0 0.02 .0 4.06 .0 8.0Percentage at each ageDemographicDividendThe ‘demographic dividend’ is sometimesalso referred to as <strong>the</strong> demographic‘bonus’ or ‘gift’. It refers to a periodduring demographic transition (<strong>the</strong> shiftfrom high to low mortality and fertilitylevels), which is looked at in economicterms because it has <strong>the</strong> potential toconvert into an economic dividend.The first potential dividend takes placeas fertility levels fall and <strong>the</strong> proportionat <strong>the</strong> youngest ages (0-14 years)reduces. At <strong>the</strong> same time, <strong>the</strong> workingage population (15-64 years) increases.During this period – which may last twoto three decades – <strong>the</strong>re is potentialfor significant economic gain. But itcan be realised only if employmentopportunities expand as rapidly as <strong>the</strong>number of persons seeking new jobsand <strong>the</strong>re is proactive investment inhuman capital, especially education.The second dividend begins – orhas <strong>the</strong> potential to begin - whenworking age adults are reaching <strong>the</strong>end of <strong>the</strong>ir income-generating andchildbearing years. During this phase,a greater proportion of <strong>the</strong> workingage population moves through <strong>the</strong>(potentially) higher income earningand/or saving age groups.The second dividend is linked to <strong>the</strong>level of investment in <strong>the</strong> first dividend.In <strong>the</strong> report Mäori: DemographicDividend for Economic Return, <strong>the</strong>collateral demographic dividend is athird interpretation of <strong>the</strong> demographictrends with significant positiveimplications for Mäori. They arise as <strong>the</strong>result of <strong>the</strong>re being two very differentage structures (Mäori and European) in<strong>the</strong> same economy.38T E P U N I K ö K I R I | K ö K I R I | H u i - t a n g u r u — P o u t ü - t e - r a n g i 2 0 1 2

ToiBack in ActionThe Mäori art quality and au<strong>the</strong>nticity brand Toi Iho is up andrunning again, following a glitch in 2010.People like Sir Apirana Ngata talked about a quality assurancetrademark or qualification in <strong>the</strong> 1930s; <strong>the</strong> New Zealand MäoriCouncil debated it again in <strong>the</strong> 1960s. But it wasn’t until 2002 thatCreative New Zealand was able to set it up.Toi Iho continued for <strong>the</strong> next seven years until public fundingpressure meant Creative New Zealand needed to divert funds too<strong>the</strong>r areas of its work. Toi Iho went into abeyance.After a series of discussions, eventually <strong>the</strong> Transition ToiIho Foundation was formed and finally TIKI – Toi Iho KaitiakiIncorporated – transferring <strong>the</strong> Toi Iho trademark and all <strong>the</strong>intellectual property involved into Mäori control.A big challenge for TIKI and Toi Iho was last year’s Rugby World Cupwith Toi Iho associated artists seeking, and getting, <strong>the</strong> ability todisplay <strong>the</strong>ir works at RWC venues and also at Waka Mäori. It wasa major success.Professor Bob Jahnke from Massey University one of <strong>the</strong> seniorartists behind <strong>the</strong> new arrangements feels very relaxed about howthings are progressing.“The Trust is currently working through <strong>the</strong> re-registration of artistsand outlets that can use <strong>the</strong> Toi Iho trademark. We’re concentratingon those two categories, artists and outlets.”“There are about 50 or so artists seeking re-registration, and <strong>the</strong>reare o<strong>the</strong>r senior artists with proven track records of quality andau<strong>the</strong>nticity who have honorary status to use <strong>the</strong> Toi Iho mark,people like Sandy Adsett.”Ta Moko Mask - Totara - Matt Smiler.Two years on <strong>the</strong> trademark is back in action in Mäori hands.The Kura Galleries around <strong>the</strong> country are <strong>the</strong> sorts of places Toi Ihoartists display <strong>the</strong>ir work.Mäori Girl - Hand carved mdf -James Atutahi.Bone pendant - Kerry Thompson.T E P U N I K ö K I R I | K ö K I R I | H u i - t a n g u r u — P o u t ü - t e - r a n g i 2 0 1 245
