WAITANGI’S BEAUTY AS A FAVORITE RESORT TOWNSHIP & HISTORIC NEW ZEALAND SITE
Waitangi Day commemorates an important day in New Zealand’s history. February 6th celebrates the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 between Maori and Europeans.
The beauty of Waitangi is that it is one of the most loved places in New Zealand that people enjoy going to.
I’ve spent quite a lot of time in Waitangi. It’s nice to jet there when you need a break in the off-tourist season. Locals are lovely people.

CONE DEAL DONE – DEED OF SETTLEMENT SIGNED WITH TAMAKI COLLECTIVE
Press Release – Tribal Affairs – The Crown & Ngati Whatua Iwi:
“The Crown today signed a deed to collectively settle the historical claims of iwi and hapū over shared interests in the Auckland area, including maunga (volcanic cones) and motu (islands), Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations Christopher Finlayson announced.
The deed was signed at the Auckland War Memorial Museum. In attendance were Mr Finlayson and Māori Affairs Minister Dr Pita Sharples representing the Crown, representatives of the iwi and hapū groups that have been negotiating as the Tāmaki Collective, a number of local Members of Parliament, and also Auckland City Mayor Len Brown.
“Today we have reached a critical step towards settling all historical Treaty grievances in the Auckland region,” Mr Finlayson said. “This deed of settlement resolves some of the most complex overlapping claims and shared interests in the country, and the relationships built here lay the foundations for a better future for iwi and hapū, the Crown, and the city of Auckland.”
The Collective Deed vests the ownership of 14 maunga (volcanic cones) in the Tāmaki Collective. The maunga will be co-governed by a body made up of representatives of Auckland Council, the Tāmaki Collective and a Crown representative.
“For generations the maunga have been intrinsically important to the iwi and hapū of Tāmaki Collective and the people of Auckland,” Mr Finlayson said. “This integrated management approach will bring benefit to everyone and ensure that our iconic symbols will remain long after we have gone.”
Auckland Mayor Len Brown paid tribute to the work of all parties in reaching the settlement. 
NZ’S PM JOHN KEY EXPLAINS WHY WAITANGI TRIBUNAL CALLS TO REVIEW ASSETS SALES IS WISE

KO NGAPUHI ONA IWI – HOCKEY’S HARRISON SISTERS OLYMPIANS & FRIENDS
While high profile Maori leaders like Sir Eddie Drurie and also their own people, are battling to export their water products to the world from specific water sources (and fix their leaky taps situation), Charlotte Harrison and Sam Harrison are prepping for an Olympics show down.
The stunning Northland family of top athletes are Olympics fit for the New Zealand’s Black Sticks hockey team.
Sign us all up for the Harrison fan club of the Ngapuhi Iwi Maori tribe of NZ. And go Te Taitokerau and Kiwi athletes in London 2012 representing Aotearoa New Zealand with their fun team.
Harrison smart water on the hockey field? That would work in the USA.
The Harrisons are from Te Tai Tokerau Northland, their waka is Ngatokimatawhaorua. Their home is the birthplace of a nation, the place where New Zealand’s founding document was signed. Good ambassadors are these girls of that. Good luck! :)

JUDITH BARAGWANATH’S LIPS – BLACK CAVIAR FASHION STATEMENTS, NEW ZEALAND
The brightest stars in (and settling into) New Zealand have always referenced the Iwi-Maori Star System. It sits at the center of New Zealand culture of anyone who ever touched down here or within our ocean-flanked borders and now too our e-commerce governed – sovereign state as New Zealand citizens. Organically grown, Iwi-Maori culture remains one of the most spiritual cultures in the world, a living symbol of what is right for humanity and who our citizens care enough to help.
Kiwi socialite and fashion icon in New Zealand Judith Baragwanath‘s name is rating on the website today.
Here’s a Kiwi story: At 16, I used to work with Judith many years ago at a cafe on Summer Street, Auckland where I lived while studying and working at Ricks Ca[g]e Americain as a chef and at Summer Street restaurant as a waiter part time. Always returning home each night covered in garlic and cooking grease, I worked six days a week back then.
Looking back, I knew nothing, yet there I was doing the mahi with a Northland rural Kiwi smile in ‘the bright lights, big smoke’ of NZ’s largest city. To me, it was another surreal world to what I was used to. As a country farm-raised kid, back then, I was actually quite terrified by all of the sophisticated adults around me. Then along came a real character in Judith. In her I saw how Kiwis made getting over cultural-cringe a statement. She always worked at that, to make New Zealand feel more likeourhome, our place, our part of the world. That gig, she perpetually rocked it!
Always swilling a glass of champagne on the job and dining litely on fresh Pacific oysters and caviar, Judith paid tribute to Iwi Maori women (who wear moko on their lips) by making her own fashion statement her trademark “black lips.” She was different, as she was a fashion model who referenced one aspect of Maori culture as her own fashion statement of being a Pakeha Kiwi. With attitude galore, she did it in a postmodern Parnell-urban way.
In this manner as an artist, she showed her respect to the wahine (women) who had walked before her in the great land called Aotearoa New Zealand. She had cheeky Pakeha chutzpah.
Baragwanath makes me think of those who wear the art of black caviar pearl nail polish and lippy to fashion and Kiwi sports matches around the world. A rising trend worldwide, now incorporating moko culture. The rise of Maori affection is perhaps becoming more evident on a trends tracking level of global consciousness. Perhaps a hint of Russia in Ciaté Caviar fashion and salty textured style is what the trend reveals too.
[Music interlude - The crazy awesome kids earning Kapa Haka degrees in the art of Kiwi fierce, freedom of expression, live performance in ‘Haka Theatre’ that has branched out now to become an official degree of study. The students perform in a bachelors programme created for youth to excel in haka. The course is called Nga Mana Whakairo a Toi. The idea for the course came from the huge success of the Arohanui (Love as limitless as the ocean wide and deep) theatre production. View at their pic above. (more…)

THE ART OF MAORI GRATITUDE – TE PIRINGA MAORI CULTURAL GROUP REFLECT KWI SPIRIT IN SONG
We have been gifted so much in New Zealand to be thankful for.
It’s almost Waitangi day. What I love about Maori culture is that Maori are incredibly grateful people who have never fogotten what our founding fathers and mothers of New Zealand gifted us all as Kiwi citizens in a land of abundance and plenty.
Here’s Te Piringa Maori cultural group in full expression of this gracious spirit of gratitude singing a Waiata Tira (a Choral) in Te Reo Rangatira (the Maori language of New Zealand) with lyrics that translate to:
Give thanks with a grateful heart… Now let the weak say I am strong… because of what The Lord has done.
Mauri ‘Ola New Zealand. And happy Waitangi Day celebrations. It is the day where all New Zealanders celebrate our Kiwi dream of fairness, justice, joy in a land of abundance gifted to us for a purpose mightier than ourselves in a moment. Our Aotearoa New Zealand legacy stretches far into the future of prosperity because we have such wise leaders at the helm who seek and endeavor to be just respecting all that our founding fathers gave us from our rich heritage. That legacy must and will outlast us all for this is our story as citizens of New Zealand. For the potential in this dream of a strong New Zealand future, I give thanks today too. Peace!
And don’t Te Piringa all have such beautiful Kiwi smiles. :)
[This must be about the 6th time, I've played this waiata (song) on horiwood.com now. It's a beauty].

NEWS FROM NEW ZEALAND – 31.1.12
Waitangi Bay of Islands is so beautiful. It is the birthplace of Aotearoa New Zealand as a nation of the South Pacific. It is where our sense of trustworthy partnership first began. Click on pic of the historic marae at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, above to know more. Many school trips to this marae atea were a part of my own memories growing up as a Maori-Kiwi kid many years ago.
Changes of major economic institutions key leaders are upon is in New Zealand. Russia begins a flirtatious obsession with Aotearoa New Zealand and the South Pacific as a future trading partner. And the future of Maori is looking bright in light of justice being honored and the role of Maori to help bolster the NZ economy ahead, as we journey towards Waitangi Day 2012.

The waters of the Bay of Islands is where legendary Maori-Kiwi navigators like Kupe charted and navigated a way forward for all New Zealanders to enjoy today, over a thousand years ago now. Today, the Bay of Islands still provides too much fun. I just love it.

There is a beauty about the Bay of Islands which 175 years of somewhat ill-considered settlement has failed to destroy. Onside of the bay is Waitangi, which has come to be regarded, in the metaphysical way we construct our views of ourselves, as the cradle of the nation.
From the grounds of the property where the first subscribers to the Treaty of Waitangi camped is a view of the sea beyond. A Peninsula runs fromthe south, shielding the bay, and nestled at the foot of its hills is the township of Russell.
It was an accident of war that I was conceived in Russell. My father was a doctor and joined the army at the end of 1941, serving with the 3rd Auckland Regiment, deployed to defend the Bay of Islands from enemy assault.”–David Lange – the latePrime Minister of New Zealand, describes the importance of Waitangi, New Zealand in his book My Life, Viking Penguin – Albany & New York Press.
Lange is most known for his legendary speech to University Students at Oxford, when he said “nuclear weapons is not what the New Zealand people voted for.”

TAMATI WAKA NENE – FOUNDING FATHER OF NEW ZEALAND – TOP OF THE NORTH
When I was being schooled in New Zealand, many starring Ngapuhi nights ago, I had a teacher named Eileen Paraore. She taught her class the Maori language, took us on fun school trips, encouraged Maori lads to leave their tribal regions and go to Maori boys boarding schools and once thought I should take up medicine “for our people.”
Most of all, I loved her love for kapa haka, Maori cultural performing arts. She died when I was in the USA, and she was buried with her husband Tom on his marae in Dargaville. On a recent outing, I heard her name mentioned by a lady who came to join the Maori Women’s Welfare League, through the work that Eileen did (voluntary) on weekends, helping Maori people who weren’t well off, in a suburb called Otangarei. This lady’s testimony, made me smile. Eileen used to take all of her class on trips to Waitangi, where we would stay at Te Tiriti o Waitangi marae and she would tell us of the founding New Zealand Maori fathers, such as Tamati Waka Nene, pictured.
In honor of her love for this man’s story, here’s seven things about a founding father of New Zealand history. I’m writing this blog post at a time, when Sir Roger Kerr has concurred and shared recently that “Keynesian economies (economy building based on nation’s ramping up a war effort) do not necessarily work, as America’s case is proving” to be so. Waka Nene also had the same view, about shunning war as much as one could, yet he was a great warrior too. I think perhaps Roger Kerr, had he of had the opportunity to have learned from people like Tamati Waka Nene, would have learned a lot from him and men of his ilk. They would have got on famously. Here’s seven facts about a strong Ngapuhi Chief, we all loved to hear about growing up.
From wars of acquisition to protecting peace making settlers: Tamati Waka “Nene was a veteran of the Musket Wars of the 1820s. After the death of Hongi Hika in 1828 he took responsibility for protecting the Wesleyan mission at Hokianga. During the 1830s he adhered to the Wesleyan denomination although he was not baptised until 1839. He took the baptismal name of Thomas Walker (Tamati Waka) after an English merchant patron of the Church Missionary Society. [NZ History.Net]
He favored Maori and Pakeha working together in fair patnership: He was a strong advocate of New Zealand’s founding document being relevant.”
He valued good governance: “In 1840, he argued that British intervention was necessary for peace and stability. Given the lawless Pakeha who were already in New Zealand the protection of the British was necessary” was his view.
He saw good leadership as fathering peace: “He believed that while the Governor should be a ‘father, judge and peacemaker’ Maori customs and lands should also be preserved. His speech was the turning point of the debate and influenced many of those present to sign the following day. Nene was among the first to sign” the Treaty of Waitangi.
His family were strong leaders: “Nene was the son of Tapua, a noted warrior of the Ngati-Hao hapu of the Ngapuhi tribe of North Auckland. He was also the brother of Patuone.” Sometimes, leadership traits do run strongly through families. Especially Maori-Kiwi families. :)
Queen Victoria was one of Tamati Waka Nene’s biggest fans: Governor Grey once gifted a chaste silver goblet from Queen Victoria on a return trip to New Zealand, for Waka Nene.
He bailed out the guy who wrote New Zealand’s famous rugby haka: After Te Rauparaha’s (author of New Zealand’s world loved sporting haka) arrest, Nene and Potatau Te Wherowhero stood surety for his good behaviour and, in January 1848, they accompanied Grey to Wellington to reassure themselves that the Ngati Toa chief had indeed been released. In December 1848 Grey appointed Nene to be one of his squires at his investiture as a Knight.
He showed that Peace required changed actions towards people once-rivals: “Nene’s services were recognised by the British authorities and he was granted an annual pension of £100. With his characteristic generosity Nene devoted his first year’s pension towards erecting a flour mill as a peace offering to his former enemies.”
There are many men of Ngapuhi descent, both here in New Zealand and abroad, who share the admirable traits of this man today. They are fine leaders. I won’t name their names, but they too were raised on stories of Tamati Waka Nene’s courage, bravery to embrace change and yet firmly ensure a place for Maori in the future of New Zealand’s unknown terrain.
New Zealand history has always been adventurously exciting.

FAST TRACKING HIGHWAYS NEW ZEALAND – GERRY BROWNLEE TALKS NORTHLAND’S NEW BLUE HIGHWAY BUILD
Northland is a fun region of North Island, New Zealand known for its beach life, farming, education, agriculture, innovation in machinary design, art - as well as being an entrepreneurial sanctuary haven with picturesque properties. Billionaires have homes in the beaut North.
Northland is also set to be a converging destination of the wealthy and famous, when Orion’s Larry Ellison and the America’s Cup yachting team begin practice-training on Northland’s ocean waters in the near future in their preparation to The America’s Cup.
What Northland may benefit from though is a new streamlined road. A proposed blue highway to the north’s coasts – that opens up the region, so that guests will appreciate with ease, the place that was the first capitol of New Zealand in history. As mentioned a lot on this blog, it is also the place where our founding document was inked too in good faith, as a nation of one people under Fun.
Te Tai Tokerau Northland is what our founding fathers and mothers of NZ, christened: the birthplace of a nation.
The highway’s cost is $2 billion. In Beverly Hills, a figure like $2b can be described as being like a year of wrangling on the stock market. For example watching the markets, from 7am to 10am, Mon-Fri – with the rest of the days free - are all in a billionaire’s mornings of trading. They have it sweet. That was when the markets were in more trustworthy days.
So with billionaire earning caps on then, a 2 billi road is totz achievable. A doddle. Needless to say our elite rising sports stars and their audiences would appreciate this enhanced road to get to the significant sights of cultural importance. in the birthplace of the nation region.
I wonder what oil wells in the South of New Zealand could pay for this important road? Just kidding. :)

Like all builds, the benefits vs disadvantages of a floated spend when investing in vital infrastructure projects of all kinds in New Zealand – need to be discussed as a normal process in a democratic nation’s dealings and planning efforts. The discussion is taking place at the moment. It should alway start with the minerals map, really! And a region’s agricultural potential and lay out. These two factors always determines the shape of a road if a road is designed smartly. If we get this right, the region’s growth is more robust, and people can enjoy the weekends with a better roading system created too.
TVNZ’s Bernadine Oliver-Kirby and Rene Graham brought an exciting story for Te Tai Tokerau Northland’s future on the topic.
It’s also a New Zealand story, as instead of going to Aussie all the time, on vacations; Kiwis should just spend a week in Northland bonding with family at the beaches instead during summer. Our domestic tourism would love the thoughtfulness of Kiwis as we seek to rebuild our economy.
Northland is a playground for too much ocean fun, as epitomized in the smiles of our bronzed blonde Maori hockey babes, the Harrisons, for example, at London’s Olympics this year. It is these athletes home hood and playground. Ye-ah!
MP Gerry Brownlee of Ilam, Otautahi, South Island (aka Christchurch), gives the highway a nod in the news. So: Kia ora. Life be to you and our hardy hearty people in the South’s mainland too.
Click on the holiday destination road signs to watch the news rheel excitement.
Hollywood Northlanders travel story time: (It is Sunday): Once upon a time, a young lad grew up playing the guitar in church in a town called Memphis.
He sung gospel tunes. His hero was his momma.
Observing the talent of his African-American neighbors, he went on to borrow their sound, put his own spin on the music, present it in a sexy way as a white small town boy, American music artist. As we know, his name was Elvis. His legend: from gospel roots Tennessee to the King of Rock N’ Roll.
Today in Hollywood, his image is used in niche supermarket stores like Trader Joes, to make even rice and water blended drinks, more appealing. The power of good art and marketing as something Elvis helped add to as an artist of pop art’s legacy. It is still on show today.
Summary of Elvis highways in NZ: It would be really cool to listen to some classic Elvis anthems, sunnies on in a convertable - heading to the beach on the new blue highway of Northland. Groovy summer fun, without the snooze fest of compulsory patience testing with roadway congestion on Northland roads at peak times.

Updated: Good News for Christchurch peoples too: Q+A: Gerry Brownlee (11:59) - Rebuild should get underway before year’s end.
