This Annual Report is published in the
20th calendar year since our Treaty of
Waitangi claim was settled and justice
and apology were achieved.
While some may argue that the monetary and asset
settlement was insufficient redress for what our
people suffered, our reality today is that we have
been able to move on from our mamae to design
a hopeful, more positive future for our whaanau,
hapuu and iwi.
In recognition of the settlement, tribal leaders of
the day published the 1995 Annual Report in a pack
that included copies of the settlement documents.
This year we have mirrored that approach. I hope
you will enjoy the enclosed commemorative
booklet which chronicles the settlement and the
progress made since that time.
In this Annual Report you will read about the
gains made across a wide range of development
initiatives. While there is always much more to
be done, we are making good progress to deliver
benefits for our marae and members.

Teeraa a Matariki kua mooiri kei runga
E wheerikoriko mai raa i te uma o Ranginui

Kia tiaho mai toou maaramatanga ki runga

Arahina aku raukura, aku piki taniwha

I maringi ai aku roimata, i hotuhotu

Horahia oo painga ki runga ki ngaa whenua
Kia makuru ai te puna kai, kia noho aahuru

Rangitaamirotia ngaa herenga waka ki

I hua ai te koorero he piko, he taniwha,

Manaakitia taku reo poowhiri e mihi

E koro maa, e kui maa, whakatau mai,
