Nau mai haere mai ki te tomokanga mōhiohio.
I whakarewahia e Pātaka Whenua, te tomokanga tuihono hou a Te Kooti Whenua Māori i te Hune 2023. I te Pātaka Whenua, ka kitea e ngā rangatira whenua ngā mōhiohio mō tō rātou whenua, ka taea te rapu te pūkete kooti, ā, ka tono tuihono tonu atu koe ki te kooti.
“He tohu nui te whakarewatanga o Pātaka Whenua mō Te Kooti Whenua Māori,” te kī a Pae Matua o Te Kooti Whenua Māori a Steve Gunson. “Ko mātou te mana whakahaere tuatahi i Aotearoa ki te whakahaere matihiko, ka pā ngā hua o tēnei hangarau ki te Kooti me ngā rangatira whenua mō ngā whakatipuranga e haere mai.”
Ko Pātaka Whenua te whakaratonga whakamutunga o te Kaupapa Whenua Māori, he kaupapa ngātahi i waenga i Te Tāhu o Te Ture me Te Puni Kōkiri. I tēnei wā, i takahuria e te kaupapa ngā whakahaere mō te Kooti Whenua Māori, tae atu ki ngā huringa ā-ture, he tauira whakahaere hou, me ngā hātepe whakahaere rere pai. I tua atu i tēnei, kua whakatūria te Ratonga Tohutohu Whenua me paetukutuku Tupu e Te Puni Kōkiri.
Ko te Pūnaha Mōhiohio Whenua Māori (MLIS), te pūnaha o te Kooti o mua, i pupuri i ngā mōhiohio mō ngā whenua Māori me te pūkete kooti, i taea anake i roto i ngā tari ā-rohe o te kooti. I Pātaka Whenua, ka taea e ngā rangatira whenua ngā mōhiohio te toro tuihono, ahakoa te wāhi, ahakoa te wā.
Ka taea hoki te tuku tono me ngā uiui tuihono me te whiwhi whakamārama i te wā tūturu.
“Ahakoa e mōhio ana mātou he pai ake ki te maha o ngā rangatira whenua te hono mai kanohi ki te kanohi ki a mātou, kei te mōhio mātou kei te tino matatau haere ngā whakatipuranga tamariki, ā, ka pai ki a rātou te Pātaka Whenua i te mea mā rātou anō e whakahaere,” te kī a Steve Gunson.
“Ka whakamana anō te Pātaka Whenua i tētahi tūhonotanga kāore anō kia kitea – ka ōrite te toro atu a ngā whānau e noho ana i Ahitereiria me tāwāhi hoki ki te pūkete kooti, he taonga tuku iho, pērā anō i te hunga ka taea te haere ā-tinana atu.”
I tua atu anō i tētahi tomokanga ā-waho, he pūnaha whakahaere kēhi a te Pātaka Whenua mā te Kooti, e taea ai e ngā kaimahi te whakaoti te nuinga o ā rātou mahi. He mea hanga te pūnaha hou kia rere pai ai ngā hātepe, ā, kia kakama ake hoki.
Ko te whakarite ka tukuna ngā whakarākeitanga whakamutunga o te pūnaha hou i tēnei tau.
