From the desk of the Minister of Mäori AffairsTënä koutou katoa e ngä iwi, i tënei tau hou.Ko te wä nui o te tau mö te whakawhanaungatanga, ko ngä rä whakatä ote Kirihimete. Ko te tümanako, kua rongo koutou i ngä painga o te nohohei whänau. Kua tangi koutou ki ö koutou mate o te tau; kua whiriwhirikoutou i ngä take o te wä, kua täkaro tahi, otirä kua whakapakari koutoui a koutou, kia kaha ake ai mö te tau hou.Whakawhanaungatanga, the theme of this edition of Kökiri, isabout building and strengthening a sense of family among a groupof individuals. During the Christmas holidays most of us will haveexperienced that reality and felt the benefits. Families give their membersstrength, if everyone works at the relationships.The Treaty of Waitangi was also about whakawhanaungatanga. There wasno way, in 1840, that Mäori would invite Päkehä to settle in Aotearoawithout expecting whanaungatanga to develop.It’s taken a while, but Treaty settlements are helping to restore thevision of our tïpuna. The investigation of history, the acknowledgementof past injustice and an apology by the Crown, help to restore positiverelationships with iwi as a platform for working together (see KaupapaMatua p23-25).We have seen that what’s good for Mäori is good for New Zealand, as iwiinvest in their local and regional economies to create wealth and jobs;provide health, education and social services; and participate in localgovernment.As iwi regain control over their cultural, social and economic destiny,they are starting to work with the Crown on business and developmentprojects overseas.Here we see the distinctive cultural contribution that Mäori bring – notjust indigenous branding like the haka, but traditional ways of buildingrelationships with others: whakawhanaungatanga.What’s good for Mäori business is good for New Zealand Inc, so this cooperationand whanaungatanga between iwi and the Crown benefits allNew Zealanders.Nö reira kia kaha te mahi tahi – work hard at working together!Kia ora,Hon Dr Pita R Sharples,Minister of Mäori Affairs.Kökiri is published bi-monthly byTe Puni Kökiri (The Ministry ofMäori Development).
