Independent Māori Statutory Board Presents:

The Māori Report for Tāmaki Makaurau

The Independent Māori Statutory Board will launch The Māori Report for Tāmaki Makaurau 2016 at the Auckland University Business School on Tuesday 15 November at 5.30pm. The launch will be co-hosted with Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga as part of their Indigenous Research Conference.

The Māori Report was commissioned by the Board and informed by the Board’s Expert Data Panel, headed by Māori development champion Sir Mason Durie.

Data in the report is used to measure the extent to which the goals of The Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau, released by the Board in 2012, have been achieved.

The Report provides baseline information about the current situation for Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau as it relates to aspirations captured in the Plan.

The report compares Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau with Māori elsewhere in Aotearoa and shows that Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau generally fare better in gaining governance and management roles, participate more in local body elections, have higher household incomes and more apprenticeship opportunities.

The report shows how marae, iwi and whānau collectively contribute to Tāmaki Makaurau, providing its distinctive identity and bringing strength, character and compassion to the region. “The unique competitive advantage that Māori heritage offers Tāmaki Makaurau is a story not told often enough”, says Sir Mason Durie.

The report takes a positive, future-focused approach, however, it does highlight some areas of concern around the decrease of Te Reo Māori speakers, disengaged youth and freshwater decline.

The report also brings to light the lack of data in several areas particularly in capturing data-sets that relate to Māori leadership in a cultural context and the contribution of Māori collectives, such as whānau, marae and kura. The Board will, therefore, continue to work with Māori, Auckland Council and data collectors such as Statistics New Zealand to develop data sets which capture information that better tells a holistic story of Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau.

Board Chairman David Taipari says, “The report is a vital tool for the Board in its future advocacy work and partnership with Council and other organisations, to improve outcomes for Māori and benefit all those who live in Tāmaki Makaurau”.

Ka Takoto i te Ohu Independent Māori Statutory Board:

Te Pūrongo Māori mō Tāmaki Makaurau

Ka rewa i te ohu Independent Māori Statutory Board Te Pūrongo Māori mō Tāmaki Makaurau 2016 ki Te Kura Pakihi o Te Whare Wānanga o Tāmaki Makaurau hei te Rātū, te 15 o ngā rā o Whiringa-ā-rangi, hei te 5.30 o ngā hāora i te ahiahi. Ka hautū-ngātahitia te whakarewanga me Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, hei wāhi o tā rātou Wānanga Rangahau Taketake.

He mea tono Te Pūrongo Māori e te Poari, ā, he mea whakamōhiohio e Te Pae Raraunga Mātanga a te Poari, ko tōna tumu, ko te toki whakawhanake Māori, ko Tā Mason Durie.

Ko ngā raraunga i te pūrongo hei ine i te whakatutukihanga, i te whakatutukihanga-kore rānei o ngā whāinga i Te Mahere Māori mō Tāmaki Makaurau, tērā i rewa i te Poari i te tau 2012.

Ka takoto i te Pūrongo he pārongo tūāpapa mō te āhua o te Māori i Tāmaki Makaurau i tēnei wā, tērā e hāngai ana ki ngā tūmanako i mau i te Mahere.

Ka whakatauritea e te pūrongo te Māori i Tāmaki Makaurau ki te Māori i wāhi kē atu o Aotearoa, ā, e kitea ana, i te nuinga o te wā, ka angitū ake te Māori i Tāmaki Makaurau ki te whai tūranga mahi kāwana, whakahaere anō, ka kaha ake te whai wāhi atu ki ngā kōwhiringa pōti ā-rohe, ka nui ake ngā whiwhinga pūtea ā-kāinga, ā, he nui ake anō ngā ara whai tūranga whakangungu pia.

E whakaaturia ana e te pūrongo ngā takohanga ngātahi a ngā marae, a ngā iwi, a ngā whānau anō ki te rohe o Tāmaki Makaurau, nā konei i hua ai te tuakiri motuhake o te rohe, nā konei anō i whai kaha, i whai kiko, i whai aroha anō ai te rohe. “Ko te huanga whakataetae motuhake o ngā taonga tuku iho Māori ki a Tāmaki Makaurau he kōrero me kaha ake te kōrerotia", ko tā Tā Mason Durie.

E anga tōrunga ana te pūrongo, e anga ana ki anamata anō, heoi, e tohua anō ana he wāhi e māharahara ai tātou, mō te iti haere o te hunga kōrero i te reo Māori, mō ngā rangatahi e noho arokore noa ana, mō ngā pākinotanga ki ngā wai māori.

E tohua anō ana e te pūrongo ētahi wāhi he torutoru noa ngā raraunga e kitea ana, tae pū atu ana ki te kohi raraunga mō ngā mahi hautū Māori i te horopaki ahurea, me ngā takohanga a ngā momo kāhui Māori, pēnei i ngā whānau, ngā marae me ngā kura. Nā konā, ka mahi tahi tonu te Poari ki te Māori, ki Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau, ki te hunga kohi raraunga hoki, pēnei i a Tatauranga Aotearoa, ki te whakarite i ētahi kohinga raraunga e mau nei i ngā pārongo e tika ana kia arowhānui ake ai ngā kōrero mō te Māori i Tāmaki Makaurau.

Ko tā te Heamana o te Poari, ko tā David Taipari, “He rauemi mātuatua te pūrongo mā te Poari i āna mahi waha kaupapa ā anamata nei, i tāna mahi ngātahi hoki ki te Kaunihera me ētahi ohu kē atu, kia pai ake ai ngā hua ki te Māori, kia whai hua anō ai te katoa o te hunga e noho ana ki Tāmaki Makaurau”.
