3. From the Waitangi Tribunal Urgency Report
The Tribunal didn’t recommend starting again from scratch.
It recommended we remedy the flaws identified and it strongly encouraged claimant groups to proceed together. This may involve negotiating with the Crown as one entity, or in parallel but with a unified and coordinated approach, and in either case with the knowledge that several settlement packages can be created.” Page 90
A NEW UNIFIED AND COORDINATED APPROACH

9. Key Principle
Hapū and hapū rangatiratanga are fundamental in our negotiations process

10. What we’ve been doing: Process
We have been exploring what a real hapū-driven negotiations process looks like
What is the ideal structure for representation and participation to support our negotiations process
Identifying tasks in our negotiations process and the roles and responsibilities

11. What we’ve been doing: Potential structure for a unified, coordinated approach
Hapu-driven through a regional and collective approach
We are still exploring the potential structures and processes to achieve this
Structure to be discussed in depth at March wananga
- See latest report

12. Issues for Consideration and Feedback
Potential structure for a unified and coordinated approach
Hapū representation
Kuia Kaumātua representation
Urban representation
Rūnanga representation

13. Hapū Representation Hapu rangatiratanga is paramount
Election processes fundamentally flawed
Exploring options that support the ability for hapū to decide in accordance with their tikanga
Hapu rangatiratanga and hapu tikanga are respected, protected and enhanced

14. Kuia Kaumātua representation
Currently there is one kuia and one kaumātua representative on the mandated body
Option discussed for Kuia Kaumātua to instead be represented directly through their hapū to:
Enhance Kuia Kaumātua participation
Support and enhance hapū rangatiratanga

15. Urban representation
Currently 4 urban representatives on mandated entity
Option discussed for Ngāpuhi wherever they may live to be represented through their hapū
Strengthening the hapū of Ngāpuhi through re-connection
Ensuring all Ngāpuhi no matter where they live have the ability to participate in a way that strengthens a hapū driven negotiations process

16. Te Rūnanga-a-Iwi o Ngāpuhi (TRAION) Representation
Currently represented through a seat on the mandated entity
Option discussed is for removal of seat because:
Participation /support by TRAION doesn’t require a seat
Allows more flexibility to include other Rūnanga, Trusts and organisations if desired

17. What we’ve been doing: Further issues for hapu consideration
hapū lists
hapū database development
hapū withdrawal mechanism
Name change
PSGE(s)
Transition
Any other issues and feedback

18. hapū lists
Opportunity to review the list of hapū and regions of Ngāpuhi
Develop understanding of who and where Ngāpuhi hapū are
Things to consider:
hapū within each region (not limited to one region)
Traditional/historical/active/inactive
Relationships with other hapū

19. hapū databases Development of hapū databases is a priority project
Regional
Ngāpuhi Collective
Strengthening communications

20. hapū withdrawal
Need for workable hapū withdrawal mechanism identified in Tribunal report
Need for robust, fair dispute resolution process (withdrawal as a last resort)
Aim is to design a good, sound negotiations process so withdrawal is less likely

21. NEW UNIFIED AND COORDINATED APPROACH
Name change
Suggestions for a new name for the
NEW UNIFIED AND COORDINATED APPROACH
Will be reviewing at the wānanga in March
