Analysis led to the recommendation of a bespoke management entity. New Zealand is all the stronger for having had the courage to attempt to reconcile its past with its present, and to make some amends. redress for ng hapu o Ngpuhi, so the possible existing vehicles would either have had to change to take on a function relating to settlement and/or the objectives of the und F would have been compromised. ‘‘Despite inevitable controversies and misunderstandings, the process continues to move forward. Given the depth of New Zealanders’ grievances this has been a long, and at times, difficult process. ‘‘It is a story of New Zealanders - Maori and Pakeha - reassessing their understanding of our history, and openly and frankly addressing the wrongs that were committed in the past. In his Waitangi Day address Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand saw the treaty as a shared story. Mr Harawira’s view flies in the face of a statement by Ngapuhi leader Sonny Tau who is quoted on the Ngapuhi website as saying nonsettlement is holding back Ngapuhi and Aotearoa.

Te Roopu oTuhoronuku is a committee set up by Ngapuhi hapu leadership and financially underwritten by Te Runanga A Iwi O Ngapuhi to advance settlement for all Ngapuhi.Ī series of hui will be held in March and April this year. THE LEGENDARY STORY FROM THE TE POPOTOHAPU OF NGAPUHI RELATES THAT. It will be asked to give Te Roopu o Tuhoronuku its vote to represent it in negotiations with the Crown for a comprehensive settlement of all Ngapuhi historical Te Tiriti o Waitangi grievances against the Crown. Ngapuhi is the biggest tribe with membership of more than 123,000. The Ngapuhi treaty settlement process is about to embark on a fourth round of consultation hui as Te Roopuo Tuhoronuku seeks a mandate from Ngapuhi. We have it in our hands to ensure that the principles of partnership as embodied in the treaty are guarded forever.’’ That is not likely to happen for 100 years. The government wants to settle all claims by 2014.

Te Tai Tokerau MP Hone Harawira, speaking at the launch of Professor Mutu’s book, predicted that once settlements had reached a certain level, the government will assume the treaty is null and void because iwi will have signed in full and final settlement. He says the country must focus on the health and education of future generations, and not stay stuck in the past. Prime Minister John Key urges Maori to look forward. "One of the tools remaining in the activist’s handbag is their vote.’’ Ms Turei highlights three points: ‘‘Governments continue to make policy without us, they continue to be hellbent on taking natural resources and they make access to the courts increasingly difficult - most recently in the case of the second version of seabed and foreshore legislation.’’īut people can bring about change, she says. Professor Mutu, Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei and lawyer Moana Jackson say successive governments have made the same mistakes over and over again.

Whakapapa
Whakapapa is your lineage and ancestral history. Although my family is a melting pot of many different ethnicities, including English, Scottish, Welsh, Indian and Greek to list a few, to focus on my Maori heritage, there are three primary lines. These meet at my great grandfather, with two lines coming from his mothers side, and one line coming from his fathers side. 
…….
Mere Kouperu was the daughter of Heitiki Kouperu and Te Kouperu. Te Kouperu was born in Northland in 1770 and died in 1821 when he was 50 or 51 years of age. Te Kouperu died in Auckland in the battle at Maui Naina Pa. Te Kouperu and Heitiki Kouperu had Mere Kouperu in 1807 at Whawharu, Hokianga. She later died in Rawene and is buried in Waima, both of the Hokianga region. Mere Kouperu married James Baker, a man who was born in Ireland but migrated to New Zealand (Aotearoa). James Baker and (now after marriage known as) Mere Baker had many children including John Baker (Maori name: Hone Peka) who was born in Rawene. John Baker eventually married Maria Baker and they too had many children of which one was Thomas James Baker. Thomas is my great grandfathers father, thus concluding this first primary line.
…….
As previously mentioned, my great grandfather has two primary lines on his mothers side of the family. The two lines stem from his mothers parents. 
I will begin by discussing the first of these two primary lines with Alexander Gray. Alexander Gray was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. Alexander Gray was a Blacksmith by trade and he arrived in New Zealand on the Immigrant Ship “Rosanna”, in the year 1826. Alexander Gray married Kotiro Hinerangi in the year 1830, in Paihia. Alexander Gray later died in the year 1839, he is buried in Russell, Northland (Bay of Islands). Kotiro Hinerangi is of the Ngati Ruanui iwi located in Taranaki. During a raid, Kotiro Hinerangi was taken from her Taranaki home and brought to Northland, more specifically the Bay of Islands, which is the place she met Alexander Gray. The pair had two daughters named Sophia Hinerangi and Jane Hinerangi. She also had another daughter Lucy, with a man called William Lord. After Alexander Gray passed away Kotiro Hinerangi, Jane Hinerangi and Sophia Hinerangi moved to the Rotorua district and she adopted a son. Her daughter Sophia Hinerangi thrived in Rotorua, she worked as a guide in the thermal region for the pink and white terraces but unfortunately passed away in the eruption of Mount Tarawera, which took place in the year 1866. Jane Hinerangi, had 4 husbands. One of them was Sedborough Mayne. Sedborough Mayne was of the 58th Regiment, British Military Forces. Sedborough Mayne was born in the year 1819 and passed away in the year 1842 and was further buried in the location of Symonds Street Cemetery. Together, Jane and Sedborough Mayne had a daughter named Mary-Anne Constance Mayne. 
I will now start by discussing the second primary line stemming from my great grandfather's mother with a person named Hone Mohi Tawhai. Hone Mohi Tawhai was born in the year 1827 in Waima, Hokianga. Hone Mohi Tawhai lived his entire life in Waima as this is where he passed away in the year 1894, he is also buried in Waima. Hone Mohi Tawhai was a Ngapuhi (iwi) leader. Hone Mohi Tawhai was also a politician and a Maori member of parliament. Hone Mohi Tawhai had two wives throughout his lifetime. One of his wives was Makere Maraea. Makere Maraea was born in Auckland (Tamaki Makaurau) and lived a long life as she passed away in 1922, at the age of around 81 years old to 90 years old. Makere Maraea and Hone Mohi Tawhai gave birth to a daughter who was named Moehuri Whareumu (her maiden name was Tawhai). Moehuri Whareumu married Te Whareumu also known as “King George”. Te Whareumu was born in Taheke, Hokianga and passed away in Waima, also in the Hokianga region. However, throughout his life he spent a lot of his time in the Kororareka region (now known as Russell). This was due to him being the chief of a hapu within the broader Ngapuhi iwi, called “Ngati Manu”. Ngati Manu, although covers a wide area of Kororareka, has its primary marae in Kawakawa, slightly inland from the coastal Russell town that we know today. Te Whareumu and Moehuri got married and had a daughter together named Kohu Katherine (Katerina) Bryers. Kohu Katherine was born in Hokianga in the year of 1812. Kohu Katherine lived a long life until she was 79 or 80 years of age when she passed away in the year 1892, also in Hokianga, Northland. During Kohu Katherine’s lifetime, she married three different captains of whom migrated from various areas in Europe. One of these, Captain Joseph Bryers was born in England and spent some years of his life in Belgium. Later on when Joseph Bryers came to New Zealand, he and Kohu had a son together who was named Charles Bryers. Charles Bryers was born in Kawakawa in the year 1849 and passed away in Omapere, Hokianga, in the year 1924 at the age of 74 years. During Charles Bryer’s life he obtained a bush license in the year 1869 and built a hotel for travelers at the mouth of the Hokianga-o-kupe moana (Hokianga Harbour), in Omapere. Charles Bryer named this “The Heads”. The hotel still remains today although it had a name change to “The Copthorne Hokianga” but has now been reverted back to its original name. The dining room of the hotel is called “The Bryers Room”.
The two primary lines of Maori heritage from my great grandfather's mother’s side of the family connect with Charles Bryers and Mary Anne Constance Mayne who married and had many children including a daughter named Frances Sophia Bryers. Frances Sophia Bryers was born in the year of 1872. Frances Sophia Bryers got married and had seven children.
���..
Here we see all three of the primary lines of my Maori heritage come together. The man Frances Sophia Bryers got married to was named Thomas James Baker. The seven children they had were Leonard Baker, Ena Rita Reynolds (maiden name Baker), John Sidney Baker, Mavis Ruby Love, Grace Marion Johnson, Matthew Charles Baker and Mervyn Kenneth Baker. Matthew Charles Baker is my great grandfather.
