Rather, this section looks at the relationship of Māori with the natural environment and how opportunities are provided for them to be involved in the management of natural and physical resources of the region. The tangata whenua section of the policy statement differs from other chapters in that it is not a resource area, albeit people are part of the environment. These sections also include those issues that relate to tangata whenua in regards to the particular resource. The operative Regional Policy Statement for Northland details council and community objectives for each natural and physical resource in our region. What do we want for tangata whenua involvement in the management of natural and physical resources? (Source: Te Puni Kokiri, Te Kahui Mangai) The three remaining (one ratified, two working through ratification) are Deeds of Settlement which have been agreed to with Far North iwi of the Te Hiku settlement (consisting of five iwi). One of these Deeds of Settlement has reached its second reading as a Bill before parliament. These take in an area from Ōmāpere in the north to Poutō in the south, across to Mangawhai.Īs of July 2012, four Deeds of Settlement had been agreed to between iwi and the Crown with two having been through the ratification process with their respective iwi constituents.

Two treaty settlements have been legislated for – Te Uri o Hau Claims Settlement Act 2002 and the Te Roroa Claims Settlement Act 2008. Northland – commonly referred to as Te Tai Tokerau – has nine iwi whose tribal boundary falls either partially or entirely within Te Tai Tokerau Te Aupōuri, Ngāti Kuri, Ngāti Kahu, Te Rarawa, Ngāi Takoto, Ngāti Kahu/Ngāpuhi ki Whaingaroa, Ngāpuhi, Ngātiwai and Ngati Whātua (Figure 24). The council provides funding to support tangata whenua to undertake monitoring projects and to also develop environmental planning documents, to assist it in its role of providing for the relationship of Māori with the environment. Due to this, the council aims to provide opportunities for their involvement in council processes and the management of natural and physical resources. Sections 6, 7 and 8 of the Resource Management Act underpin their values, perspectives and traditions in this regard. Tangata whenua have a holistic approach to the management of the environment and its resources. The close attachment of tangata whenua to their ancestral lands and resources stems from the belief in their common origins and from occupation of the land and use, and establishes tribal identity and continuity.
