Statement by Te Runanga-a-iwi o Ngapuhi
Te Runanga-a-iwi o Ngapuhi board met yesterday, and recommitted to going forward to achieve its vision: Kia tu Tika ai te whare tapu o Ngapuhi – that the sacred house of Ngapuhi stands firm.
At the meeting recent issues surrounding a Department of Conservation investigation involving the Chairman were discussed. The board resolved: - It is very disappointed with the actions of the Chairman - It does not condone his actions - It does not condone the taking of kereru - The concept of Kaitiakitanga is a sacred obligation - It is committed to the environmental safeguard of taonga tuku iho.
The board acknowledged the leadership shown by its Chairman Raniera Tau over the past 15 years, taking the Runanga to the position where it is now.
Mr Tau continues as Te Runanga-a-iwi o Ngapuhi Chairman.
No further comment on this matter will be made while the investigation is on-going.
