Panui

On Monday 22nd May, Influenza A [H1N1], commonly known as swine flu, was confirmed in one of our Ngati Kahu whanau at Pamapuria who had recently returned from Auckland. 

Although the virus is highly contagious, the current form of it is relatively mild.   The Ministry of Health is no longer trying to contain it and advises as follows: 

BE PREPARED

The Negotiators representing Te Hiku O Te Ika Iwi Forum plan to hold a series of hui to present and receive feedback from the people of Ngati Kuri, Te Aupouri, Ngaitakoto, Te Rarawa and Ngati Kahu on the Crown offer to settle their claims to Te Aupouri Forest, Te Oneroa-a-Tohe and other lands.  

DATES AND VENUES:

In April 2009 the Prime Minister and Minister of Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations met with Iwi leaders from throughout the motu to discuss seven ideas to accelerate Treaty settlements.

A joint response was made to these ideas by the members of Te Hiku O Te Ika Iwi Forum - Ngati Kuri, Te Aupouri, Ngaitakoto, Te Rarawa and Ngati Kahu.

That response has now been posted into the Private Area.

A detailed report from Professor Maragaret Mutu on the five days of plenary sessions and 'side events' at the UNPFII in New York has been posted in the private area.
