Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki Nui-a-Rua Settlement Trust

Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki Nui-a-Rua Settlement Trust We are the post-settlement governance entity for the whānau and hapū of Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua. Ngā mihi

Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua Trust was initially established in December 2010, following extensive consultation with our iwi, hapū and marae. We then became the Settlement Trust, as work towards our Tiriti settlement with the Crown was undertaken and eventually completed. The Settlement Trust is a Post-Settlement Governance Entity (PSGE) that administers assets for Ngāti Kahungunu

ki Wairarapa Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua. We will continue taking our whānau forward on our post-settlement journey. House rules

📣Pānui: Appointment of Kaiwhakahaere

E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā karangatanga maha, tēnā koutou katoa.

The Wairarapa Moana Statutory Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul-Jason “PJ” Devonshire to the position of Kaiwhakahaere / General Manager.

PJ is mana whenua, of Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, with whakapapa connections to Ngāti Kaiparuparu, Ngāi Tāneroa and Ngāti Muretu. He brings with him a deep commitment to Wairarapatanga, te reo Māori me ōna tikanga, and the aspirations of our iwi, hapū and marae.

PJ is well known to many across Wairarapa. He previously served as General Manager of Kahungunu ki Wairarapa, and has held several iwi, marae, governance and advisory roles over many years. More recently, PJ has worked in senior cultural advisory and Māori leadership roles within the Crown and public sector, including as Pou Ārahi at the Commerce Commission, where he supported the development of kaupapa Māori approaches, strengthened relationships with iwi and mana whenua, and provided advice at senior leadership and Board level.

In acknowledging PJ’s departure, the Commerce Commission recognised the significant contribution he has made:

“Over the past five years, PJ has led our tikanga and supported the Commission to embrace Te Ao Māori, develop our Rautaki and He Kawa, and strengthen relationships with mana whenua. We are incredibly grateful for PJ’s guidance and leadership, for his wisdom and aroha, and for the significant and lasting contribution he has made to our people and our culture.”

PJ, his wife Pania and their son Tūtahi have been living in Wairarapa for the past few years, while PJ has continued to travel to Wellington for his work. This appointment brings his day-to-day mahi back home, grounded again in Wairarapa and in service to iwi.

The Board warmly welcomes PJ into this role and looks forward to the experience, tikanga leadership, relationship skills and commitment he will bring to the kaupapa of Wairarapa Moana.

We look forward to supporting PJ as he takes up this important mahi and as we continue to strengthen the Board’s role, give effect to our statutory responsibilities, and advance the long-term vision for Wairarapa Moana and the Ruamāhanga River catchment.

Nāku noa, nā

Tēnā koutou, e te whānau

As you know, we're reviewing our Trust Deed and we need your whakaaro to get it right. BUT, our current Trust Deed (2017) is over 100 pages long and, unless you're a lawyer, it's not an easy read 😆

So, in the lead up to our hui on this kaupapa, we've put together an Information Booklet to help. 📖

It gives an overview of:
🔎what the Trust Deed does
🔎what it needs to do
🔎what we could consider
to ensure it reflects and supports our hapū and whānau aspirations into the future.

And please join us at one of our upcoming hui! Ngā mihi nui.

Taiahahā! Taiahahā, kua rere te kohu i Puketoi maunga, ka horo rā a Parikauiti, kua tau iho te korowai o mate ki runga o Papawai e.

It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of Missie (Mizpah) Elizabeth Metāpere Mansfield, formerly Ammunson (née Matthews), cherished māmā of Paora Ammunson (our Chairperson) and Christine Ammunson (our kaimahi), and grandma of mokopuna including our kaimahi, Jenishavorne Waipuka and Herewini Ammunson.

Whaea Missie loved and worked for her whānau and community her entire life. She passed peacefully in Masterton yesterday, surrounded by her close whānau.

Moe mai rā e te whaea 💔
