There was a good turnout of farmers, managers<br />
and staff members at the field day during<br />
January.<br />
DairyNZ, Environment Waikato, Federated<br />
<strong>Farmers</strong> and Fonterra teamed up last year to<br />
provide Waikato farmers with practical advice<br />
and solutions for managing dairy effluent.<br />
<strong>Wairarapa</strong> <strong>Moana</strong> Farms director, Jim Cotman,<br />
said in the introduction for the day that the<br />
“community is always going to challenge dairy<br />
farmers ... we need to ensure what we do is<br />
‘kosher’ and this day will help get it right”.<br />
Federated <strong>Farmers</strong> Waikato president, Stew<br />
Wadey, who also spoke at the start of the day,<br />

Mangakino was the location for the final in a series of effluent field days<br />
held on <strong>Wairarapa</strong> <strong>Moana</strong> Farms, Farm 4.<br />
said Federated <strong>Farmers</strong> was often frustrated by<br />
the few (dairy farmers) letting the majority of<br />
dairy farmers down.<br />
“We need to get this right. We want New<br />
Zealand to be the best in the world. We must<br />

more intensive farming.<br />
“You gauge the success of a day by the people<br />
who are participating in it and the farmers were<br />
asking good questions on technical aspects of<br />
managing effluent systems,” Mr Wadey said<br />

it’s important that all people<br />

“We were very privileged to have Arawhetu Peretini, a<br />
member of the <strong>Wairarapa</strong> <strong>Moana</strong> Incorporation Committee<br />

of trustees.”<br />
“We were also briefed by Office Manager Charmaine<br />

statutory responsibilities.”<br />
<strong>Trust</strong>ees also took time to consider our priorities for the next<br />
2 – 3 years. We confirmed the following four areas as our<br />

<strong>Moana</strong>. This is a huge project which we expect to come to<br />
fruition in 2010.”<br />
“We also discussed the likely increase in unemployment<br />
over the coming year, and in the hope that we may be able<br />
to assist some of our young people into employment, we<br />
decided to increase the number of trade training scholarships<br />
from 7 to 12 for 2009,” said Sonya Rimene.<br />

Successful Scholarship Presentation<br />
Ceremony in Masterton<br />
The Papawai and Kaikokirikiri <strong>Trust</strong>s Board administers scholarships to secondary school students who<br />
affiliate to Ngati Kahungunu ki <strong>Wairarapa</strong> and Rangitane O <strong>Wairarapa</strong>.<br />
<strong>On</strong> the 24th January the 2008 scholarship recipients and<br />
their whanau were invited to a Scholarship Presentation<br />
Ceremony, held at Te Rangimarie Marae in Masterton. This<br />
was a great success says trustee Wai Quayle who worked<br />
with the Papawai and Kaikokirikiri <strong>Trust</strong>s Board secretarymanager<br />
Charmaine Kawana to see that events leading up to<br />
the presentation and the day itself ran smoothly.<br />
Wai Quayle (Ngati Kahungunu) is a community health<br />
worker for Whaiora Whanui and is also the Maori Outreach<br />
Liaison officer working with three general practises to help get<br />
those Maori patients who may be high risk of cardiovascular<br />
disease, diabetes or other specific health problems. This<br />
requires the patient to re-engage with their practise nurse or<br />
doctor and be checked on a regular basis.<br />
In the past we have held our scholarship ceremonies at<br />
Papawai Marae in Greytown. Over the years the attendance<br />
by scholarship recipients and whanau diminished and it<br />
was a little disheartening when we had to cancel the 2008<br />
hui scheduled for January due to insufficient responses. We<br />
looked at what changes could be made and decided to hold<br />
the hui at a Masterton venue and this proved very successful.<br />
This year we had a good turnout with nineteen students and<br />
well over forty-five whanau attending.<br />
In the past we usually receive between 160 and 200<br />
applications a year, this year, 2008, we received 170<br />
applications and of these only 150 were successful. Those<br />
unsuccessful are not considered for various reasons, mainly<br />
application forms are not completed – no principal’s report,<br />
forms not signed, no whakapapa. Our criteria is that all this<br />
information is required so that the application is successful.<br />
Our office staff work hard to get applicants to complete their<br />
application forms correctly and to get them in on time, so<br />
please take the time to get them filled in correctly, otherwise<br />
you risk disappointment.<br />
The application forms are available from the 20th of<br />
September each year. They are also sent out to the local<br />
colleges or you can contact the office directly at 4 Park<br />
Avenue in Masterton, telephone 06 3702608 and our staff<br />
will forward one to you. Our office here at the <strong>Wairarapa</strong><br />
<strong>Moana</strong> Incorporation has an excellent record of networking<br />
and informs all those that come to use the facilities for their<br />
hui, or through Ngati Kahungunu office of the availability<br />
and the requirements of the scholarships. We make sure that<br />
the strictly enforced cut off date for the applications is known<br />
and this is the last Friday in November. No late applications<br />
will be accepted for consideration, so application forms must<br />
be back in our office on or before this date.<br />
The recent ceremony saw around 70 people attending.<br />
Our day started with karakia once inside the wharenui<br />
Nukutaimemeha by Archdeacon Hariata Tahana and then<br />
Kaumatua Pani Himona welcomed everyone to the Marae<br />
and to our special day.
Scholarship recipients with their<br />
whanau.<br />
The trustees present were then introduced<br />
to the recipients and at this stage we were<br />
able to inform these young people of the<br />
background of the <strong>Trust</strong>s and the work<br />
the trustees do. After our introduction our<br />
secretary-manager Charmaine Kawana<br />
was introduced and she informed every<br />
one of the agenda for the morning.<br />
Next the 2008 Scholarship Certificates<br />
were presented to the recipients by<br />
trustees Archdeacon Hariata Tahana<br />
and Reomoana Walker and words of<br />
encouragement were given and that if<br />
they continued to work hard the Papawai<br />
and Kaikokirikiri <strong>Trust</strong>s would continue to support them with<br />
future scholarships.<br />
Each year the board sets aside from its net income an<br />
amount towards the scholarship fund. These funds are then<br />
appropriated to two-thirds to Church of England schools and<br />
one-third to ‘Other’ schools, as set down by the Papawai<br />
and Kaikokirikiri <strong>Trust</strong>s Act 1943. At present the board is<br />
processing a Repeal of this Act through Parliament.<br />
Following the awards ceremony, photos were taken of the<br />
recipients and their whanau and everyone was invited to<br />
enjoy a bus trip around all the Papawai and Kaikokirikiri<br />
lands. <strong>On</strong> a bus trip they enjoyed not only the history of the<br />
<strong>Trust</strong> but also local history and landmarks. This was planned<br />
as an enjoyable day out for both the young people and their<br />
whanau but it also had an important underlying purpose, to<br />
have the history of the <strong>Trust</strong> told so that the recipients have<br />
a sense of belonging and to know where the revenue for the<br />
scholarships comes from.<br />
We left Masterton via Akura Road and Ngaumutawa Road,<br />
to show them our farming properties of 57 hectares and<br />
industrial lands of 13 hectares adjacent to these roads. We<br />
then proceeded south to Greytown, then out to Papawai<br />
to see one of our dairy farms of 160 hectares, leased to B<br />
& C Scott, the college site of St Thomas’s, then a visit to<br />
Papawai Marae, the home of the Maori Parliament in the<br />
early 1900s.<br />
Returning from the site visits to PK <strong>Trust</strong>s properties<br />
We then returned northwards to Clareville, via Parkvale<br />
(mushroom factory) just east of Carterton, to Dorset Road<br />
and Francis Line which is another historic site for us. This<br />
was where Hikurangi Maori Boys College was built by the<br />
Papawai and Kaikokirikiri <strong>Trust</strong>s Board and opened in 1903<br />
but unfortunately it burnt down in 1932. Now the land of 60<br />
hectares is farmed and leased to J & J Rose as a dairy unit.<br />
It is from these leased farms and industrial lands that the<br />
revenue for the <strong>Trust</strong> and scholarships comes.<br />
All those present thoroughly enjoyed their day which was<br />
capped off by an excellent luncheon held at Te Rangimarie<br />
Marae. It was at this luncheon that the young recipients<br />
individually thanked the trustees for organising such an<br />
informative and thought-provoking day and showed their<br />
appreciation by performing waiata and haka.<br />
Many parents and grandparents who were present on the bus<br />
tour explained that prior to the tour they did not know the<br />
history of the <strong>Trust</strong> or where the particular lands were and<br />
they were very grateful to be part of an excellent learning<br />
experience.<br />
Five years ago the <strong>Trust</strong> Board only sent out letters of<br />
notification to successful recipients. They, the recipients,<br />
never got to see the lands or hear the history. This scholarship<br />
presentation ceremony is one way the Papawai and<br />
Kaikokirikiri <strong>Trust</strong>s Board can share their story.<br />
It is our hope that recipients will take an interest<br />
in this land so that when they get older they will<br />
want to come back and possibly become Board<br />
members, thus supporting and continuing the work<br />
being carried out by the Board. It is vital that these<br />
lands are maintained for future generations.<br />
The future looks bright for the Papawai and<br />
Kaikokirikiri <strong>Trust</strong>s Board.<br />

Trades Are For Rangatahi Wahine Hoki!<br />
The <strong>Wairarapa</strong> <strong>Moana</strong> <strong>Trust</strong> (WMT) would like to see our rangatahi, young Maori women and men,<br />
consider a wider range of career options and to contemplate trade occupations.<br />
Research released by the Ministry of Women’s Affairs<br />
(MWA) in September 2008 found that young women can<br />
feel limited in their options when choosing a career and<br />
those limits are reinforced by factors such as peer pressure,<br />
parental opposition, media portrayal of some jobs and school<br />
systems. The research was commissioned because the MWA<br />
wanted to know the factors that influence young people<br />
when they are deciding on a career and, in particular, why<br />
so few young women enter the trades, where there are good<br />
career opportunities and where there can be an opportunity<br />
to earn-while-you-learn.<br />
The research report Trading Choices: young people’s career<br />
decisions and gender segregation in the trades includes<br />
examples of the reactions some young women encountered<br />
when they expressed an interest in learning a trade.<br />
<strong>On</strong>e young woman talked about the response she received<br />
when she said she wanted to work with her hands. “My<br />
Dean asked what I wanted to do in the long-run, what am I<br />
good at and I said ‘something with my hands’. She said ‘so<br />
you want to do sewing?’ I said ‘no, fixing things like metals<br />
and things,’ she said ‘What! There’s woodwork but there’s<br />
lots of guys in it’.”<br />
Another young woman talked about the reaction she got<br />
from her peers when she attended woodwork classes. “The<br />
boys thought we were there as a joke.” Another said, “The<br />
first time we showed up to class it was pretty crazy. All the<br />
boys were going ‘What is she doing here?’.”<br />
<strong>On</strong>e young woman, however, talked about her work<br />
experience, saying ‘it was really valuable to realise that the<br />
way you might be thinking could be too narrow. Broaden<br />
your horizons and give things a go, you won’t know until<br />
you try’.<br />
WMT Chair, Sonya Rimene, said it was important for our<br />
rangatahi, young Maori women and young Maori men to<br />
consider a wide range of career options in particular farming<br />
and agriculture.<br />
While women have entered many jobs that were once<br />
dominated by men, such as law or medicine, many jobs<br />
remain dominated by either men or women. For example,<br />
99 percent of builders, electricians and motor mechanics<br />
are men. Women make up over 90 percent of people working<br />
as caregivers, registered nurses and secretaries.<br />
“The fact that men and women continue to do different<br />
types of jobs is one of the factors in the gender pay gap.<br />
Currently, when comparing men’s and women’s median<br />
hourly earnings, women earn 12.5 percent less than men.<br />
“The young women who were interviewed said there<br />
are challenges to seeking a job in occupations such as<br />
engineering or building. These included how the trades are<br />
portrayed in the media, what friends say when they mention<br />
they might be considering working in a trade and the extent<br />
to which schools encourage young people to consider a<br />
variety of career options.”<br />
<strong>On</strong>ce at work, however, girls often found ways to fit in and<br />
adapt the work around their strengths.<br />
“I hope that this research will be useful information to our<br />
rangatahi. I’d like to encourage our rangatahi to consider a<br />
career as farmers of our own land.”<br />
The MWA commissioned the New Zealand Council for<br />
Educational Research to carry out the research which<br />

AN OPEN LETTER FROM<br />
POUAKANI MARAE<br />
Kia ora koutou,<br />
My name is Lesley Pedersen. My<br />
husband, James Wairukuruku Murray<br />
Pedersen, is a shareholder and<br />
<strong>Trust</strong>ee Treasurer of Pouakani Marae<br />
in Mangakino.<br />
Pouakani Marae has a new website<br />
through www.naumaiplace.com and<br />
I am the new Content Manager. My<br />
job is to put any information relevant<br />
to Pouakani Marae on to the website.<br />
I would like to ask if any of the<br />
whanau have items of interest and/or<br />
photographs that relate to the Marae<br />
and would like to have them put on<br />
to the website.<br />
This can be done either by going<br />
into the website www.naumaiplace.<br />
com and locating Pouakani Marae<br />
and submitting it through the website<br />
or by emailing me at lesley11@xtra.<br />
co.nz<br />
Everything is still new and I am going<br />
to be putting in photographs and any<br />
news and events relating to the loss of<br />
our Marae when destroyed by fire.<br />
I would be grateful for any<br />
correspondence by mail or email.<br />
This website will help us keep in<br />
touch with whanau both at home<br />
and overseas and perhaps someone<br />
from overseas may like to have some<br />
input.<br />
We have whanau in Perth that have<br />
been fundraising towards helping us<br />
with the re-build and as they were here<br />
for Christmas gave us a very generous<br />
cash donation. They have assured us<br />
that mahi is on-going so we are very<br />
grateful indeed to the whanau.<br />
I look forward to hearing from anyone<br />
and excited as this is something new<br />
both for myself and our Marae and<br />
being on the worldwide web can<br />
open up many doors.<br />
Na Leslie<br />

More News<br />
From Pouakani Marae<br />
<strong>On</strong> Saturday 24 January, Auckland Anniversary weekend, a karakia<br />
(blessing) for our Marae site was held by Apotoro Rehita Maatai<br />
Ariki Rawiri Kauae Te Toki.<br />
The blessing is in readiness to watch over and pave the way for haukainga<br />
(home people), manuhiri (visitors) that may come and go and all the workers<br />
that will be involved in the rebuild from start to completion.<br />
Excavation of the wharenui commenced the following Tuesday, 27 January.<br />
We are now ready to use Te Awhina (old bowling club) for tangihanga, as<br />
has not been the case previously, with whanau having to make alternative<br />
arrangements.<br />
The cost of meeting council requirements is too expensive and because it is only<br />
for temporary use, we are concentrating all our efforts towards the rebuild of our<br />
Marae, hence, we have managed to bypass the requirements by purchasing a<br />
marquee.<br />
Fundraising by having Housie every Thursday night, selling hangi and raffles has<br />
given our Marae putea a little boost. We are looking at other ways to fundraise<br />
plus we have Marae teeshirts of which we have sold a good number to whanau<br />
both here and overseas. If any whanau are interested in purchasing teeshirts I<br />
will have all the information on our website or I can be contacted by phone<br />
07 882 8481 or email lesley11@xtra.co.nz<br />
Unfortunately, there are no small sizes<br />
left. The sizes are XL up<br />
to 4XL.<br />

3rd Newsletter<br />
Kia ora everyone,<br />
At time of writing the urupa is<br />
looking as good as it has been for<br />
many a year. Our thanks go out to<br />
local farmer Jim Bicknell for the<br />
initial slashing of the long grass,<br />
fennel and broom.<br />
A massive thanks to Wiremu<br />
Kingi-Brightwell and his whanau<br />
for getting the area down to lawn<br />
mowing standard, an awesome<br />
job by a dozen or so people over<br />
a wet couple of days and also for<br />
the second mow a couple of weeks<br />
later.<br />
An aerial photo of the urupa area<br />
has been taken just after the first<br />
mowing by the Kingi-Brightwell<br />
whanau. The photo is courtesy of<br />
Jim Bicknell taken from his glider.<br />
Rangiurunga Urupa<br />
Photo courtesy Jim Bicknell<br />
A big thanks also to JR of JR’s Orchard for spraying the fennel<br />
and scrub all along the northern fence line and the area in the<br />
north west corner. There are a number of old formed graves<br />
that at the moment are unable to be mowed around until all<br />
the foliage is removed and we can expose the outline of the<br />
graves. This will have to be done manually.<br />
I am at the moment creating a new garden along the western<br />
fence line as well as small gardens in between graves that<br />
have gaps too narrow for the mower to fit. All the plants have<br />
been grown from seed, from cuttings or donations.<br />
The cleaning up of formed unmarked, unknown graves is an<br />
on-going project that I have undertaken to do and is both<br />
satisfying and time consuming. It involves re-shaping the<br />
outline of the graves where needed, weeding, newspaper<br />
and rock mulching to stop weeds reappearing and then<br />
planting out to enhance the area.<br />
If you intend visiting a loved one why not bring a plant or<br />
ten to plant, remember it gets really hot here in summer and<br />
heavy frosts from March – November. Live plants are so<br />
much better than plastic as the plastic deteriorates to a dirty<br />
bleached state in quite a quick time and they also create a<br />
problem for mowing because they tend to get blown all over<br />
the urupa in strong winds.<br />
We still need plenty of tools, materials, time and koha to get<br />
to the next stage of the refurbishment of the urupa.<br />
The GPR survey is going to be one of the big cost items now<br />
costing approximately $6000. There is only so much that<br />
can be done by volunteers and this is one of those things that<br />
has to be done by the professionals.<br />
The urupa date has now been confirmed as being pre-1867<br />
as shown on William Skeet’s plan of native village at Papawai<br />
dated 1867. A copy of this plan is held at the Masterton<br />
District Council Library Archives.<br />
If you have any history or stories about the urupa or those<br />
buried here we would love to hear from you so we can publish<br />
such interesting facts and stories in upcoming newsletters. I<br />
have heard a number of stories told of plums and puha being<br />
picked and many a clip over the ear.<br />
We still need, from you and your whanau, names and<br />
addresses of people that you know who relate to anyone<br />
buried at Papawai for our register. It’s getting bigger by the<br />
day but is far from complete.<br />
