NEWS - Maori Party panics seat target will fall short

The Maori Party is planning an all-out assault to gain an eighth Maori seat to fight for next election.Co-leader Pita Sharples says not enough people are signing on to the Maori roll to meet the 14,000 target by August, when the Maori Electoral Option ends. Dr Sharples says the option isn't going the way the party thought it would.

“We're so disturbed about it we are going on the road for a month, starting this weekend We’re going to tour the country and leave one person back in Parliament, and three of us outside talking to people and recruiting people to change young people, inviting them to join the Maori roll,” Sharlpes said.

Pita Sharples says Maori respond best to kanohi ki te kanohi, or face to face discussions, so the Maori Party has to go where the people are.

Wellington Regional Kapahaka Competition

On Saturday I attended this event held at the Micheal Fowler centre in Wellington. I went down to support some whānau who were performing with the group Ngāti Pōneke. As it turns out 3 Hato Pāora old boys performed with the group Ngā Taonga mai Tawhiti. (Te Kapua, Te Mauri & Jono) Their group was very impressive and had strong singing. My wife brought it to my attention that they were graced with 4-ex Waka Huia members and it showed. The overall level of kapahaka on that day was great, all groups - even the so called fill-ins were well rehearsed and professional. The winners on the day were Tutemaungaroa, a group comprised of mainly Tuhoe affliates. Their style was similar to well known Mataatua group Ruatāhuna. As for our whānau's team Ngāti Pōneke, we actually thought they were going to win. They had huge choreography, uniformity and a good kaupapa. Anyway it was a good day, and I must say Ngāti Pōneke know how to look after their manuhiri, kia ora ra koutou katoa.

1st - Tutemaungaroa.
2nd - Ngāti Pōneke.
3rd - Ngā Taonga mai Tawhiti.

Under 15's vs St Pat's Silversteam Under 15's -

LOST 30 - 0

According to coach Doug Rehu the boys were outclassed in every manner. The brute strength and physicality of the Silverstream boys put fear into the Hato Pāora pack and there after losing their confidence. Too big, too strong, the score says it all. (Arohamai no pictures this time)

Visit from Norm Hewitt

Today after lunch break we were fortunate to have former All Black and Dancing with the stars winner Norm Hewitt in to give a motivational speech to the kura. The entire school was seated in the chapel as Norm was welcomed with karanga by Kui Kataraina. Pā Josh Strickland had the honour of welcoming and whakatau of our guest as it was he who arranged the visit.

Norm began his speech in Te Reo Māori. A proud rendition of his pepeha was delivered, "... ko Takitimu te waka, ko Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi". This was to be the foundation of his kōrero. The importance of knowing who you are and where you come from.

He then spoke about making the right choices and in his words 'the 30 second' dilemma we face, especially as young Māori male. In one hand you can be successful and achieve your aspirations, or in the other - end up in prison. He gave an annecdote about a kaumatua who had given him advice. "Which will you choose, tika or teka"?. This was to be another of Norms strong statements. That if we want to be great Māori males we must be living Māori tikanga everyday of our lives. This is the tika that the old man referred to - the truth, the righteous path (Whaia te tika).

Norm then reflected upon his own upbringing to build a link between himself and the students. He was a former student of Te Aute College so he knew what is was like to attend a Māori boarding school. He was frank and stated without shame that he was bullied and then himself become a prolific bully. He recalled his childhood, where the environment was not unlike that of the Hekes in Once were Warriors. He realised that he was becoming like his father, and was continuing the same behaviour. On reflection he said that he learnt that living tikanga was the ability to refrain from physical violence especially in the home, breaking the cycle and being true Māori men by being good fathers and providers.

He remembers watching the rugby on t.v. at the age of 7 and saying to himself that one day he would become an All Black. Norm expressed the importance of having dreams and the power of the mind. In his words "the only thing that was gonna stop me from wearing the black jersey was myself". He took that same attitude to the Dancing with the Stars competition and came through with the desired result. "As soon as we started dancing I knew we were going to win", he stated confidently.

Norm concluded his speech with words of encouragement for the boys saying not to worry about the negativity that is hurled at Māori but to strive to make their dreams come true. He champions their future successes as leaders of this country - All Blacks, Lawyers, Doctors, Teachers or Politicians. Norm Hewitt has definitely weathered the storm and come out triumphant as a positive role model for Māori people and New Zealanders as a whole.
