The freedom that Tuhoe long for, is true freedom – it’s the freedom to live as one with the land, not own the land. It’s the freedom to gather kaimoana and fish for whanau without being fined for getting more than your quota. It’s the freedom to engage in the reo handed down by our ancestors as our FIRST language, as our ONLY language. It’s the freedom to raise our tamariki free from violence and fear as in the days of old. It’s the freedom to treat illness with rongoa not with pills and potions that make you sick. It’s the freedom to teach from the marae, not from a school with its imposed rules and regs. It’s the freedom to gather kai from the land to enjoy, not eat toxin enhanced food from fancy packets. It’s the freedom to train rangatahi in the ways of weaponry as handed down by our tupuna, NOT to be accused of running terrorist training camps!

Email from Clifford Akuhata for the Tuhoe Elections - July 2nd 2009
Morena People
$67 Million dollars arrived in the Tuhoe Establishemnt Trust On Wednesday afternoon.
We Are Collecting $30,000 every 24 hours!
By now your Tuhoe Waikaremoana Trust Board ballot paper will have arrived.
Vote for Clifford Akuhata
Monty Kora
Minnie Tamaki
Max Temara
This is the team that will move to bring Tuhoe into one whare.
If this team is not successful at getting on to the board then we may be in for a long and torturous battle with our own board.
The recent litigation with Te Umutaoroa and it's supporters cost you
$100,000. We Won those two battles but look at what it cost us all.
Marie Stewart, Tunui McLean and Richard Tumarae need to be removed. I believe they are all Tama Nikora Supporters.
I Believe that Tama is the person holding the board together. Without Tama the board would naturally meld painlessly with the new structure that is being proposed.

$88,000 For 2 months work - NZ Herald. Sunday 5th July 2009
Two months of intense treelords negotiations have resulted in 3 Iwi facilitators being paid party by the treasury - a first for the department.
Papers obtained by the Weekend Herald reveal that at the top of the tree is lead negotiator George Asher, who was in line to earn $88,000 during May and June 2008 from Crown Forestry Rental Trust.
2 other Iwi facilitators, Matt Te Pou and Graham Pryor earned $67,000 each over the same period.
Mr Asher said the negotiations component of the settlement cost about $5 million included administrative support.
He said the sum should be measured against successfully negotiating the Central North Island Collective (Treelords) settlement, worth roughly $500 million, in five months when others had taken years and been paid multi millions for no result.
Mr Te Pou said he earned considerably more from consultancy work, although the CNI negotiations meant working 7 days a week for months.2 Comments 2 hours

Forests handed to iwi in biggest settlement
: 4:03PM Saturday July 04, 2009
Source: ONE News
The biggest Treaty of Waitangi settlement in New Zealand history has been formally handed over.
The deal, worth nearly $500 million returns hundreds of thousands of hectares of central North Island forests to eight iwi.
Celebrations at Hirangi Marae in Turangi were a little late starting on Saturday after bad weather sent the plane with the Minister of Maori Affairs and also the Treaty Negotiations Minister to Rotorua. But after 20 years of negotiations to reach the settlement, nobody was worried about a few hours of waiting.
It has taken decades of legal, political and tribal battling to get to this point.
"It feels absolutely wonderful," says George Asher, iwi negotiator.
Eight North Island iwi with claims to nearly $200 million worth of Crown forest land wrestled over who had the right to claim it back.
While they fought, another $225 million in rent from those forests piled up in a trust. Now it's in their hands.
"Everybody realises that the money has got to be managed prudently and has got to be something that's sustainable. Nobody here has the view that tomorrow we'll have a spending spree and that's it," says Tamati Kruger of Tuhoe.
After high-level negotiation between the chiefs and then deputy prime minister Michael Cullen, both sides emerged happy any bargain they struck would last.
I'm also somewhat overwhelmed with emotion at this point," said Cullen at the time.
George Asher, iwi negotiator, says there was strong leadership.
"The collective became stronger as the process developed. Everybody was focussed and we were serious about reaching an outcome," he says.
The forests deal dwarfs the 1992 Sealord Fisheries settlement.
Some have dubbed this deal "Treelords". It's unlikely there will ever be a bigger settlement.
In the midst of a recession, sudden wealth puts the tribes in an enviable position
To get engaged in forestry on a large scale, to look at the other potential that's in that region including geothermal. And I think it gives the kind of economic muscle to the central North Island tribes which they've never had before. And I think from that point of view its fantastic," says Wira Gardiner, Crown facilitator.
A hundred thousand members of the eight iwi stand to benefit, some of them from remote forest towns where the jobs vanished years ago. Their future now looks a lot brighter.

Tūhoe Rangatahi forum 2009
by
Mere McLean
Tēnā tātou kātoa,1 Reply 2 weeks
E taku iti, e taku rahi tēnei te mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.
In the last few weeks Tūhoe as a whole have come under pressure in relation to our claims and the CNI – There seems to be a gap between young and old, as well as Tūhoe as a whole.
I would like to see a Rangatahi forum be set up as well as workshops for Tūhoe Rangatahi that let us express what we deem important for Tūhoe in the years to come as well as understanding the concept of these land claims being rushed.
He aha o koutou whakaaro?

Anei he manawa, i wish i could say something positive about the CNI but i can't.
coz i'd be lying.
Don't preach kotahitanga then stab peeps back eh Mr Akuhata, don't receive money that you know would be better spent else where Matt Te Pou and yes shit happens but it's wot u do about it that matters
And no Tuhoe does not have Para Mount Chiefs just Paru Mouth Chiefs-you Temaras will neva be anything more than that becoz you's act moa like the little cuzzins than me!!!!

Kia Ora, just abit confused again on the process that WTTE is using only because voting papers have been sent out for the Ruatoki division as my mum received one for her dad Kunere Tumoana. So from this email, it is suggestin that u dont have to vote as the komiti has put up its 4 peeps they wanted from that list not giving any of the other people who were purposely left out of all the publications in the media a chance to be herd. At this point i only agree with Hohuas name as the other 2 males are pretty dodgy. We have uncle Peho or Basil, Tamiana or meihana or Tait gee only krooks have heaps of names as for Paki hes all talk no action. But hey wot do i know rite? im just a nika for my marua. And can they even rep all of the whanau and not just the TKAT supporters????

How informed are we as a people? are we going out of our way to hear both sides of the story as far as TKAT and Te Umutaoroa is concerned or are we just listening to our friends and marae delegates.

Anei he Taona
Have finally put a korero on forum of mine and my tamariki its our whakaaro about coming to Ahurei ki Ruatoki 2009 for our first time.
To some it maybe a typical "City" Tuhoe response engari what took place i roto i toku Manawa reigned from purely returning to the place where we feel home.
To us who have not had the privelege to be brought up living and breathing Tuhoetanga we still slightly sitting on the outside of the boundary lines as far as acceptance goes.
But the more we keep coming back the more that line will disappear we hope....

Since Ahurei we are missing the Whaarua more now
Have seen and felt again the "uniqueness" of why TUHOE
are a nation of their own.
