PĒPI PACKSPēpi packs are our special way of creating a hononga to new uri of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. We want all our pēpi to be well looked after and have the chance to grow into the best humans they can possibly be. Filled with Māori-inspired pēpi resources, our little ones know who they are from the get-go!

This quarter, we delivered 21 Pēpi Packs to new pēpi in both Australia and New Zealand.

Cameron Rameka is 32 years old. He moved to Australia 11 years ago. Cameron is an avid Warriors supporter, recently converted to the NSW Blues. He is well known for his cheeky smile, great humour. His partner Shannon is Irish and English, raised in Australia. They welcomed our precious mokopuna Jackson Takaparawhau Megahey Rameka earlier this year.

"I saw the pēpi packs on Facebook. I like the books. Jackson likes being read to. On the back of the books it’s got a thing on how to pronounce the words and what they mean. For Pākeha it is easy to sound out the words. Heaps of us have Aussie partners and this helps heaps. They can learn too."

KAUMĀTUA ORADon’t be fooled by Matua Harley Nathan's 89 years of age! You will not find a walking frame parked next to his favourite chair, there are no handrails leading up to his front door and don’t even think about treating this octogenarian with cotton wool lined kid gloves... Born on the 5th of November 1928 on the Papakainga at Orakei to Te Ruihi Netana and Miriama Paenganui Aparehama, Matua Harley and his siblings lived in a whare just across from where the present day bathing sheds are located.

While he was still a baby his parents moved the whanau to Reweti where his grandmother, Te Hiria Nathan (Kawharu) was living. Matua Harley spent his growing years attending the local schools, helping on the whanau plot and being involved in the life and activities of Whiti – Te – Ra Marae. trips to Orakei with his parents During this time there were still many trips to Orakei with his parents to visit whanau and this continued until he left Seddon Memorial Technical School and began an Engineering apprenticeship in the city. It didn’t take the keen musician long to explore the city’s burgeoning music scene which featured many up and coming young Maori bands. Places like the Trades Hall and the Municipal Dance Hall in Victoria Street were the top spots of the day and fuelled his appetite to play in a band. Together with four other young Maori men the new band was formed and quickly began to draw a large following. The dance hall managers recognised the potential of the up-and-coming new band and soon they were the Thursday night regulars at the Municipal Dance Hall and had even won the coveted regular Saturday night slot at the Trades Hall. Professional wrestler turned hotelier, Lofty Blomfield would have his launch waiting at the wharf at the bottom of Albert Street to whisk the band off to Waiheke Island to play at his hotel on the Sunday afternoon where sandy-footed guests danced in swimming togs and quaffed copious amounts of kai and drink. By day Matua Harley was the hard working engineering apprentice and by night the hard playing member of a popular band yet he still found time for his other passion, dancing. Nelson, the town at the top of the South Island that would eventually become his home. By the late 40’s he had met a young woman from Morrinsville who proved a willing partner at the regular dance competitions held at Te Puru o Tamaki, winning on more than one occasion.

111 July 2018 - 30 September 2018 |

Eventually his apprenticeship required him to be ship-based and while serving aboard a vessel transporting war brides to the USA Matua Harley made the realisation that life as an engineering apprentice may have great benefits in the long term, but his short term dreams and goals were changing. With the Waitamata and the Kaipara in his blood the lure was not to be on the sea, not even to be in the sea, but to be under it, as a deep sea diver. Leaving his apprenticeship with only a year to go Matua Harley embarked on a career that took him to many far flung corners of the world to work contracts as diverse as salvaging torpedoed and bombed boats to the varied tasks of a construction diver and running his own company.It was while he was living on his boat moored at Mansion House Bay, Kawau Island that opportunities began to fall in to place that would ultimately take him to Nelson, the town at the top of the South Island that would eventually become his home. These included an offer to look after the bar at Kawau Island for the Publican which lead to the chance meeting with a person who knew a person who needed a person who had the skills Matua Harley had... which lead to a job selling Heavy Industrial Machinery all over the North Island relieving staff who were taking leave... which lead to winning a 3 week all expenses paid holiday to anywhere in the country... which lead to a return visit to Nelson and the districts of Tasman and Marlborough... which lead to a job at Golden Bay... which lead to meeting a lovely lady who would become his partner in life and business... which lead to buying a gold claim on the Buller River and building a dredge... which lead to establishing a hugely popular and very busy Tea Room and Catering company in Nelson... which has lead to... a richly deserved retirement following a life of adventure and challenges faced full on. Yet, even in retirement Matua Harley continues to live a rich and diverse lifestyle, regularly driving the 200 odd kilometres to Westport to visit his daughter is almost a small journey, he wants to drive to Auckland. He has taught himself to find his way around the electronic world and prefers to do all his business online. The back courtyard is flooded with colour from the well-tended flower garden yet also shares space with a well stocked and varied vegetable garden. He takes an avid interest in local politics. He attends Te Reo classes at the local Polytech. As if that isn’t enough to keep him busy, Matua Harley has also started a new project, carving a tekoteko, a project he predicts should take at least a few years to complete.For a man who celebrates his 90th birthday in a few weeks...Yes, I repeat, don’t be fooled by Matua Harley’s 89... make that 90 years!

(Written by Steve Pihema. ‘And just to boast, during my visit with Matua Harley and Whaea Jo I was served whitebait fritters that they, along with Whaea Jo’s sister, caught themselves on one of their driving trips to Westport... and they were delicious’).

KĀINGA ORAWhai Maia manages 69 homes in Orākei. The homes are owned by Whai Rawa, our commercial entity and leased to Whai Maia so that we can rent the homes to whānau. Here is what we’ve been up to:

• Set up our first ever transitional home.• Providing Whānau Ora support for whānau in areas such as budgeting

services, engagement with other government services.• Working with whānau to meet rent and arrears.• Joint home inspections with Whai Rawa. Whai Rawa manages the

maintenance of the homes and we work with the whānau in the homes.• Creating a campaign for whānau around ‘Drug free Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei

Homes –There is no Mana in Drugs”. Kia kaha tātou kia taru kino kore ngā kāinga.

• Managing the housing waiting list with the majority of our whānau waiting for 2-bedroom homes.

• Working with housing providers such as the Auckland Community Housing Providers Network to around what is happening in and around Auckland regarding social housing. Regionally there is a major issue the cost of homes and the number of homes available for rent.

TE REO MĀORI

This year we jumped on the Mahuru Māori wagon and decided to celebrate te reo māori not only for te wiki o te reo māori, but for the entire marama of Mahuru (September). It was wonderful to see so many whānau engaging in the kaupapa. He koanga ngākau ki te kite i ngā tini whānau i tahuri mai ki te reo māori.

We kick started Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori in the right way, with kai! Whānau poured through on their way to mahi or school for parakuihi with a dash of te reo māori. Mīharo!

We held two FREE Te Reo Māori lessons for the wider Orākei community. It was exciting to see so many locals (and mainly non-māori) wanting to give te reo māori

a go. I kī pai te ruma! These lessons were well received and they’re asking for more…

Tautohetohe mai, tautohetohe atu. 16 amazing kaikōrero no Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei makes for 2 amazing tautohetohe. Ko ngā kaupapa kōrero:

TUNUKAI101

A first on our social media platform! We created a four-part bi-lingual cooking series showcasing how to cook some of our favorite kai dishes including kūtai parai, steam purini, mussel chowder, and another goody - parāoa parai. It featured our very own Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei whanaunga – the real deal e te iwi!

TE WIKI O TE REO MĀORI – THE ORĀKEI WAY!

MAHURU MĀORI

“E pai ana kia tapaina e te hunga pākeha ō rātou tamariki ki te ingoa māori?”

“Me Tautoko Te Matatini, hanga whare rānei mo ngā whānau o NWŌ?”

Ngā mihi ki ngā whānau i tae taringa mai, i tae arero mai!

In addition, we brought back our Te Reo Māori Hunt and managed to release our very own NWO branded KeepCups, brought to you by Koi Café!

Despite the temperamental weather, our haerenga ki te whare kararehe was a success! The objective of the day was to spend Saturday at the zoo with as many NWŌ faces as possible all navigating through the different kararehe via our recently translated into te reo māori zoo maps and activity sheet. We managed to fill 75 x whānau passes. That equals 375 NWŌ whānau that hit the zoo last Saturday 22 Mahuru 2018, Haramai tētahi āhua.

Mahuru Māori was full on but that’s exactly how we love to celebrate our reo! Ngāti Whātua Heru Hāpaitia Te Reo Māori.

NGĀTI WHĀTUA ŌRĀKEI KI TE WHARE KARAREHE
