Kaitiaki Action What are the kaitiaki doing to bring about change to the rate of loss of kai? Summary of key points: Reseeding kai furthering Māori education to better understand Treaty rights trying to gain better relations with Crown and therefore have more input into decisions increase capacity building within iwi exercising kaitiakitanga customary law Quotes: we <strong>mana</strong>ged to convince the Minister to keep each foreshore and seabed team. – Interviewee #3 ..................... when the mussels were getting too heavy for the float, ... they are just getting weight on them and it's sinking the float. Then we have to dive down to the bottom and pull them back up and just keep thinning them out, putting more lines up. We only started off with two lines, now we've got 20 because we've had to take them off and grow them, seed them out onto another line. – Interviewee #4 ..................... When I went away to study, I studied the Treaty of Waitangi and I realised what my rights were to this land that I had inherited. ... as far as I am concerned, they are interfering with my undisturbed rights under Article Three. I refuse to pay rates, basically because my parents, ... gave a lot of their land for the roads, for the schools, for reserves, for libraries, for recreational use-– Interviewee #9 ..................... 18 months ago, the iwi only had one employee ...that poor secretary had to look after every entity in the iwi marae and that was only 18 months ago. ... 18 months down the track we have a staff of 22 ... we’re actually in a position of <strong>mana</strong>ging growth, rather than growth’s just upon you and then what do you do. – Interviewee #13 ..................... we actually raised over $5,000 through the web site from whanaus all around the world that couldn’t get home but wanted to– Interviewee #13 ..................... 33
There was absolute commitment, like we had this background in Maketu and we were just really clinging for our lives so there was an absolute commitment and the estuary, you know, it looks at us every day. It was all part of that. – Interviewee #15 ..................... they wanted to sink the boat into our rohe. ... so now we have this boat, but the boat, there was three reasons why we bought the boat. ... The first one was because we were linked to the boat, we didn't want to go down with it so... The second thing was there was some economic upside through divers’ fees and maybe some intellectual properties stuff but we haven't tested that yet. The third thing was the fishery enhancement, which was another primary reason ... it was really built around an economic base for the community because we knew that it sort of put us into that tourism spectrum as it were. ... it was a symbol of our kaitiakitanga. It was our pō, that was in the ground that no one could take it away from us. It was exercising kaitiakitanga. – Interviewee #17 ..................... Interviewer #1 - And so the rāhui has been in effect for? Interviewee #17– Since March this year and to support it, we did this brochure. Now we know it has no legal traction from a L-A-W point of view, but we were exercising kaitiaki customary law, and to me, we have a right under the Treaty to do that, but people still go in there and fish and all we can do is shoo them away and I know that that cause (eruptions?) inside the Ministry of Fisheries- 34
