PETITION & CALL TO ACTION FROM THE WAIROA HAPU SETTLEMENT TRUST

Ka tu te mana o nga uri o te awa tipua.....
Te Wairoa !!!

Sad to see such bullying tactics taking place In a forum where we are supposed to tautoko each other and have respect for our tikanga. Regardless of culture - Maori or Pakeha, clearly there was lack of common courtesy and common sense. Truth will always prevail, and I hope for all our whanau that this is not going to be a continual hindrance on our being able to move forward / progress. I pray our Kaitiaki protect our whanau through-out this journey, as sadly this seems to be an ongoing issue for Maori on a national scale when we enter into a forum that even with the best of training, we always tend to think we know better and believe our own agenda is shared by all, and sadly those who lack knowledge of our tikanga think this is how things should be done. How we manage these learnings will be the challenge on whether or not we are all able to row our waka 'as one Iwi' or whether we walk away divided? This creates a decrease in whanau support for other positive things.... Let's stay strong, stand together and ensure that we uphold the integrity / mana of our Tupuna.

Thank you for clarifying this situation!
The lengthy mail posted out twice has been drawing disrepute by its lack of specifics. The innuendo filtered through the notices has been unsettling and I tossed all those papers as a consequence.
Kia kaha Te Ruruanga me nga hapuu o Wairoa!!!

Right behind you 100%

Kia kaha Ngati Kahu
Kia kaha Ngati Rangi
Kia kaha Ngati Pango!!!!!

Nga mihi maioha, mihi aroha kia tatou katou e aku whanaunga o Ngati Kahu.

Kia kaha tatou nga Uri o Ngati Kahu, Ngati Rangi me Ngati Pango!!! If anything this will only make us stronger as a Hapu (not that we're not already)....at least we still maintain our integrity and mana, with our heads held high and proud, our Tupuna are standing right beside us, no reira nga mihi nui ki a tatou katoa!!

Very good Whanau...I too threw the letters out...I saw you Charlie stand up at the AGM and say what you did and I was so proud of you cousin. You have my vote any day!

I'm hear to support our marae in anyway possible

KIAKAHA NGA WHANAU KATOA.

Kia kaha Ngati Kahu...

thank you for the clarity I tautoko my hapu 100%

Mã te whãnau e ora ai te hapu; mã te hapu e ora ai te iwi. Kua kore te tauihu e eke panuku ai ki te titoki
ngã kaihautu. E te PSGE mã te whakamã e patu, mã ngã tikanga e ea. Nã ngã hapu te mana I eke ai
Koutou ki taua ropu, ã, mã ngã hapu te mana e heke ai koutou ki raro. He tikanga tera psge ãkona

Kia kaha tatou katoa,nga hapu katoa o Te Wairoa; kia mau tonu ra ki nga taonga ao matua tupuna me o ratou mana tuku iho ki a matou katoa i enei wa.

Stand strong together whanau, have your say, its important to send a strong message to those who sit in positions of power that they can not bully us or our kaumatua. enough said.

I support the content of this petition

Full support to Te Ruruanga and other hapu reps.

Ae.e tautoko te Ruruanga

Kia Kaha tatou nga uri o Te Wairoa!

There are 3 things that make us who we are as Maori......that is Tika, Pono, Aroha handed down from our Tupuna. Lets not forget this and do what is right by Matua Te Ruanga Keeti. He manaaki, he aroha au kia koe Matua mo to mahi a Wairoa, Kei te mihi, kei te mihi, kei te mihi

I support this petition, its very understandable and it seem to make sence, thanks

How dare they treat our kaumatua like that. If you treat our kaumatua like that, your basically treating all of us like that. It is discusting, of course I will sign this petition.

Whanau katoa you need to say we are tuturu Nga Marama. I always remember my koro and dad talking about it. Mauri Ora

Tuturu Nga Marama

Tautoko my dad

Tautoko all the above and so agree entirely with the comment from Te Pura - shame on you Ngatiranginui PSGE - you have no mana !!!
