NGÄ rohe Te Tai hauäuru Taumarunui rangatahi train for Christchurch Rebuild Taumarunui Trade Trainees take a break with their tutors for a photo. Close to 29,000 construction workers will be needed in Christchurch over the next 20-years and some of those heading south will be thirteen rangatahi from Taumarunui. Their training is the outcome of a new relationship established between North Island Polytechnic UCOL, Christchurch’s Te Kaihanga Cooperative and Hinengakau Development Trust in Taumarunui. Te Puni Kökiri, the local council and Ministry of Social Development have helped broker the relationship. The students are undertaking preliminary training and will go on to complete UCOL’s pre-apprenticeship Carpentry certificate later this year. Danny Reilly is the polytechnic’s Construction programme leader and says students will graduate in time to start work later this year. The project is the North Island arm of an initiative by Christchurch-based Te Kaihanga Cooperative - a group of Mäori tradesmen who first got their start together under the original Mäori trades training scheme run by the Department of Mäori Affairs in the fifties through to the eighties. They banded together after the 2009 Christchurch earthquake and since then have been working to support training and apprenticeships so young Mäori can up skill and take part in the rebuild. Taumarunui lawyer and Te Puni Kökiri business mentor Graham Bell says the project fits with the community’s role in government work to create better outcomes for young people in the region. Te Kaihanga spokesman Danny Reilly says the project is also in line with UCOL’s drive to improve educational outcomes for Mäori. "The importance of that is reflected in the great attitude shown by our 13 young Mäori students," he says. "They’ve hit the ground running, keen to learn all they can so they can make a useful contribution to the rebuild - and build themselves a productive career." CERA reports that the build in Christchurch is not a short term boom and bust dynamic either: the mahi will be over the next twenty years. “The vision for Te Kaihanga includes harnessing Mäori potential and enabling Mäori tradespeople to tender for, manager and deliver large building projects in the rebuild: while also providing training and employment opportunities for rangatahi Mäori wanting to enter the building and construction sector,” says Acting Deputy Secretary, Eruera Reedy. 32 T E P U N I K ö K I R I | K ö K I R I | R A U M A T I / S U M M E R 2 0 1 3
NGÄ rohe Te Tai hauäuru Ara Mai He Tëtëkura! Like many marae throughout Aotearoa, the whänau of Te Aroha Pä, Kai Iwi, faced the challenge of passing pahake and a lack of marae whänau to carry out normal cultural practices without seeking support and mentorship from neighbouring whänau and marae. Te Aroha Pä. Te Aroha Pä is a small marae on the southern most borders of Ngä Rauru Kïtahi and Whanganui. The whänau of this marae decided it was time to take action and with the help of Te Puni Kökiri, they assigned the job to one of their own. In stepped Teraania Ormsby-Teki (Ngäi Te Rangi, Ngäti Ranginui) and Marama Taiwhati (Ngä Rauru Kïtahi, Ngäti Ruanui). “The report we produced was developed from a combination of research methods including interviews, focus groups and literature sources. We looked at paepae körero, karanga, te kaauta, trustee governance, advancing business opportunities and marae administration. It set the foundation for us – we knew what we were aiming for.” Mentoring was constructed around these kaupapa. In an effort to seek out key mentors and potential participants, marae focus groups and individual interviews were held to identify past and current leaders who could be guided into these roles that have now become essential to ‘marae life’. Teraania revealed, “This was very special: Listening to elders speak about the leadership of old; understanding the role of whakapapa in succession planning; watching succession planning in action, from those who have held such roles through the generations was truly inspiring.” Increasing the whänau Te Reo capabilities was also identified as essential to succession planning for paepae körero and karanga. “The fact that there were only two mentorees in the area of whaikörero shows how big a challenge we had,” says Teraania. A Marae Succession Planning Toolkit was also designed as a practical guide for others. “The highlight? I’d say it was the sharing of personal strengths between Ngä Rauru Marae and Hapü”.
