Kaumatua assert their territorial sovereignty. Made with funding from NZ On Air.
Tūhoe kaumātua led another peaceful protest in Taneatua on Monday.
Up to 100 chairs lined the hill facing the building of Te Uru Taumata, the Tūhoe iwi governing board.
It was the second protest by the Tūhoe council of elders against leadership that s been described as dictatorship by one kaumatua, Paki Nikora. We were put into structuring committees seven years ago and when settlement came along, they didn t ask us our view, Nikora said.
Hapu protest Tuhoe dictatorship Te Ringahuia Hata
A Tuhoe kaumātua says last week’s protest against the tribe’s governing body was just a start.
Members of several hapū picketed the Tanetua headquarters of Te Uru Taumatua over a range of grievances including a letter saying hapū would no longer have access to education grants, hunting licences, fish and tents for tangihanga if they withdrew from the board.
Paki Nikora says resentment has been growing over the way chair Tamati Kruger runs the board, including enforcing policies to stop marae and hapū accessing funds from government agencies.
Hapū were incensed at being told they could not access grants from the Provincial Growth Fund to upgrade their marae.
