The Crown has told the hapū that members who have not received voting packs can instead cast a special vote. “The reason why we're standing here today is that the Crown has put our hapū, the tuakana line, the direct descendant and jeopardised and we say no we've had enough,” Roebeck told Te Ao Māori News.ĭue to an issue within the ratification processes, the majority of Kauahi hapū are not receiving voting packs, says Roebeck. Members say the current process is not allowing all Kauahi hapū members to vote, and since the hapū is the tuakana line of Ngāti Paoa they deserve more of a say.ĭanella Roebeck, of Kauahi and Ngāti Paoa, took part in the protest in which members walked from Karangahape Road to Aotea Square in central Auckland on Saturday.

The Wai 808 claimants have drawn upon evidence presented by Ngati Horowhenua witnesses in the course of Wai 100, 105 and have adopted in full the closing submissions of Wai 100. All we say is that Ngati Horowhenua has rights in this area. We know there are heaps of other hapu, many of whom are our whanaunga. Our people would never be so bold as to say we are the only hapu with rights over this area. Ngati Horowhenua has interests in lands along the Western side of Tikapa Moana, around the islands of the Hauraki Gulf, and to the South towards the Waikato to Te Hoe o Tainui. This hapu is a tangata whenua in the Hauraki region. 103Īccording to the evidence of Raumiria Te Mihiao Katipa: 102 The Wai 808 claimants also acknowledge ‘the evidence on Ngati Horowhenua by Tipa Compain on behalf of the Wai 345 claim that illustrated the whakapapa from Marutuahu to Horowhenua’.
This whakapapa, counsel states, ‘is vital to their claims and has been set out in the evidence of Tomo Baggs and from representatives of Ngati Hako’. In closing submissions, counsel for the Wai 808 claimants stated that the claimants ‘have brought this claim as a hapu of Ngati Paoa within Hauraki’, and that their claims in Hauraki ‘focus upon the whakapapa from the union of Paoa and Tukutuku, and, in particular, Tukutuku’s lineage from Ngati Hako and Ngati Tamatera’. The claimants also highlight environmental degradation of their resources and inadequate protection of Ngati Horowhenua customs, relating to the naming of individuals, as sources of grievance.
Issues of claim relate to pre-Treaty and pre-emption waiver transactions, Crown purchases to 1865, war and raupatu, and the operation of native land legislation. The Crown, in breach of the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, are the primary cause of the prejudice that has resulted from these key grievances’ 100
