Tūhoe to sign Terms of Negotiation

After a hikoi with hundreds in November 2007 to protest against the state terror raids and the signing of the Central North Island (CNI) Iwi collective agreement with the Crown last month, hundreds of Tūhoe will come to Wellington for the signing of the Terms of Negotiation of the Historical Ngāi Tūhoe Claims at Parliament this Thursday (31st July 2008).

Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe

In 2005 Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe (TKAT) was formed by mandate of Ngāi Tūhoe. Ngā Rauru ō ngā Pōtiki (NRONP) and the Tūhoe Waikaremōana Trust Board (TWMTB) as two groups, came together with a willingness to co-operate on mandate and negotiation. Ngāi Tūhoe claims are currently represented by this combined group. The consolidation of these two groups bring together a powerful political alliance in support of a strong mandate process leading to negotiations and a robust Treaty of Waitangi settlement for Tūhoe.

Mission Statement

Working with the whānau and hapū of Tūhoe to represent their interests accurately and comprehensively, whilst working toward the establishment of a new tribal entity, and the achivement of a full and enduring Treaty settlement with the Crown.

Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe Trust is an organisation created to umbrella, coordinate and facilitate the progression of Tūhoe's Treaty Settlement process, until such time that a new Iwi entity is formed to facilitate and manage Tūhoe Iwi affairs in full. It therefore has a finite life of 2-3 years, or until such time that the new entitiy is formed and in a position to take control.

Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe has emerged as a natural progression of Ngā Rauru o ngā Pōtiki and the Tūhoe Waikaremōana Trust Board, under the direction of Tūhoe iwi, working jointly on a range of Treaty Settlement and Iwi related projects.

A History of Resistance

In 1866, 448,000 acres (181,000 hectares) of land belonging to Tūhoe, Te Whakatōhea and Ngāti Awa were confiscated by the government. This area was subsequently reduced to 211,000 acres (85,387 hectares), of which Tūhoe lost 14,000 (5,700 hectares). Tūhoe was subjected to a scorched earth policy, in which their crops and buildings were destroyed. Ōpouriao and Waimana were taken, their only substantial flat lands, and their only access to the coast through Ōhiwa Harbour. The Tūhoe people were left with harsh, more difficult land, setting the scene for later famines.

In June 1866, Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Tūruki, of the Te Rongowhakaata tribe, was exiled to Wharekauri (Chatham Islands) on suspicion of being a spy for the Hauhau. Two years later in July 1868, following prophetic visions, he led a mass escape of 298 captives and returned to the East Coast of the North Island and began a guerrilla war against colonial troops. Clashes with militia on the East Coast culminated in a bloody and unsuccessful attempt by Te Kooti to take Poverty Bay. Te Kooti and his followers turned inland to the forests of Te Urewera. He waited on the eastern Te Urewera borders for permission from Tūhoe to enter the territory. In March 1869, at a meeting at Tāwhana in the Waimana valley, Tūhoe committed themselves and their lands to Te Kooti.

The government waged a bitter campaign in Te Urewera in its search for Te Kooti and his followers. Old enemies of Tūhoe fought on the side of the government; they carried out most of the raids into Te Urewera during a prolonged and destructive search between 1869 and 1872. In a policy aimed at turning the tribe away from Te Kooti, a scorched earth campaign was unleashed against Tūhoe; people were imprisoned and killed, their cultivations and homes destroyed, and stock killed or run off. Through starvation, deprivation and atrocities at the hands of the government’s Māori forces, Tūhoe submitted to the Crown. The whereabouts of Te Kooti, however, were never revealed. In 1872 Te Kooti escaped to the King Country where he remained in exile. In 1883 he received an official pardon from the government. Although best remembered as a guerrilla fighter, he was for Tūhoe a spiritual leader in their time of need, and the founder of their pre-eminent faith, Te Hāhi Ringatū. The Urewera District Native Reserve Act 1896 made provision for ‘the Ownership and Local Government of the Native Lands in the Urewera District’. But it also facilitated extensive land sales to the government.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Ngāi Tūhoe never signed the Treaty. According to Tamati Kruger, it was never seen in the villages of the Tūhoe nation. Still, they have decided to enter negotiations with the crown. This signing on Thursday will only be the second time Ngāi Tūhoe has entered negotiations with the crown (the first time being the CNI). After the Tribunal hearings in 2004/5 and the creation a mandated body (Te Kotahi ā Tūhoe), signing the Terms of Negotiation is the final stage of the pre-negotiation process.

In the negotiation stage claimant groups "are negotiating with the Crown the basic elements of a settlement such as the nature of the historical account and cultural and commercial redress. The culmination of this stage is the signing of a Heads of Agreement or an Agreement in Principle, which will include a proposed financial quantum of the settlement. Sometimes progress may slow or stall for groups in negotiation because of internal representation issues, cross-claims made by other tribes, or disagreements between the Crown and claimants on the appropriate level of redress. Once a Heads of Agreement or Agreement-in-Principle has been reached, the Crown and the claimants work on the fine detail of the settlement to agree a draft Deed of Settlement that can be put to the claimant community for ratification. Although the essential elements of redress have been agreed, this stage can also be protracted if there is a need to resolve outstanding issues relating to internal representation or to cross-claims from other tribes." (Office of Treaty Settlements)
