Tai Tokerau initiated discussions have led to a three-year research project on the rise of the entrepreneurial leader and its impact on traditional notions of leadership. In particular, the project will investigate how tribal groups balance the competing demands of culture and commerce, heritage and development. Te Rarawa, Ngpuhi and Ngti Whatua leadership transformations will be part of the study.
A team facilitated by James Henare Mori Research Centre (JHMRC), led by anthropologists Dr Merata Kawharu and Professor Paul Tapsell and including economist Dr Christine Woods and historian Dr Hazel Petrie, has secured coveted Marsden Fund support for research into Mori entrepreneurial leadership.
This research will reveal the significant contribution that indigenous entrepreneurship can make in areas of wealth creation, social stability, and national identity, and its importance to New Zealands social, economic, and political future. The results of this project will lead to a new model of indigenous entrepreneurial leadership that is culture-centred from an indigenous and a tribal perspective. The study will make an important contribution to the international literature on entrepreneurship.
It is thought that the project will be the first major analytical work on contemporary Mori leadership in 40 years. In many areas, the economic condition of Mori tribal groups has changed dramatically during that time, from a state of resource-
lessness to an unprecedented phase of economic development as a result of Treaty settlements and tribal (including hap) ventures.
The team is using a national case study approach involving iwi and hap of Te Rarawa, Ngpuhi Ngti Whatua, Te Arawa, Tuwharetoa and Ngi Tahu regions. Comparative research into North American First Nations entrepreneurial leadership will also be undertaken with the Centre initiating Pacific Coast Canadian sessions in July. It is anticipated that the case study approach will indicate how matters such as commercial/cultural balance, trusteeship, accountability to multiple stakeholders and reciprocity between leaders and their people are negotiated; and how their successful resolution contributes to tribal wellbeing.

Te Ara : Mori Pathways of Leadership on the international stageTe Ara: Mori Pathways of Leadership is a visual and historical depiction of Mori leadership which has been taken to the world stage in the form of both an international, touring photographic exhibition and a publication. Te Ara showcases tribal leadership past, present and emerging - from the regions of Hokianga, Peowhairangi (Bay of Islands), Tmaki Makaurau, Waiariki and Murihiku. The accompanying booklet gives insight into the leadership challenges from historic through to contemporary times. The five regions are the lenses through which Mori leadership may be viewed and understood.
In September 2010, the exhibition of photographs featuring those by internationally renowned photographer Krzysztof Pfeiffer, was opened in Olstyn, Poland, by the New Zealand Ambassador to Poland, Penelope Ridings. It then went to Warsaw. While in Poland, Te Ara received wide public and media interest. Te Ara will be exhibited in Oxford in July 2011 followed by Durham University, England.
Professor Paul Tapsell (Ngti Whakaue, Te Arawa) and Dr Merata Kawharu (Ngti Whatua, Ngti Rahiri, Ngti Kawa) of the James Henare Mori Research Centre
(JHMRC), curated the exhibition. The publication was produced by Paul and Krzysztof, with support from postgraduate student Hirini Tane (Ngpuhi), Otago PhD student Michael Stevens (Ngi Tahu) and Dr Merata Kawharu.
Te Ara: Mori Pathways of Leadership has been supported by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology (FRST) grant for Te Wehi Nui a Mamao and by the universities of Auckland and Otago.
Te Wehi Nui a MamaoTe Wehi Nui a Mamao, a two-year research project funded by The Foundation of Research Science and Technology and undertaken by James Henare Mori Research Centre staff, has explored how to maximise Mori youth participation and success in society from a Mori values position. The project comprised separate
stages including the surveying of over 500 school children on marae and regional language; the filming of community leaders, kaumatua and kuia; the mapping of tribal marae in Tai Tokerau (www.morimaps.com ); the exhibition and publication of a visual history of tribal leadership including those of Ngti Whatua, Ngpuhi and Te Rarawa
(Te Ara); and the establishment of a web resource (www.tewehinui.com). An edited book is to be published about the crisis of Mori tribal identity, including chapters by the FoRST team on tribal marae and te mita o te reo o Te Tai Tokerau.

Marae in Tai Tokerau and Tmaki have been the first in Aotearoa to be part of the new Mori Maps website, following a two-year research project funded by FoRST, the Tindall Foundation and the ASB Community Trust and undertaken through the JHMRC. Mori Maps helps to connect Mori descendants with their marae, and enable visitors to make appropriate contact with these centres of culture - in particular, linking Mori youth with their ancestral identity. The project has evolved as a response to the emerging crisis of Mori cross-generational alienation. Todays challenge is to find an effective way to meaningfully reconnect our urban-raised potiki generation to their home communities and elders.
Professor Paul Tapsell and Krzysztof Pffeifer, accompanied by kaumatua Renata Tane, have mapped over 150 tribal marae in Tai Tokerau and over 20 in Tmaki, by collating relevant geographical, GPS and photographic information. Basic protocol pertaining to the marae, along with information relating to the existing facilities of marae, hap and iwi, are provided on
Mori Maps in Tai Tokerau and Tmaki Reconnecting Reanga Tipi Haere
A new website www.tewehinui.com features oral histories, kiwaha, whakatauki, waiata, brief written histories from manuscripts and visual images from various rohe of Tai Tokerau: Te Rarawa ki Hokianga, Ngpuhi ki Hokianga, Patuharakeke ki Takahiwai and Te Uri o Hau ki Kaipara.
In the form of podcasts, photos, video and audio recordings, and pdf files, these taonga can be accessed by the public. An interactive function on the website encourages uri of the north to share and upload their own stories and whanau histories. It is a web 2.0 site which means it
is designed for two-way use: both to access information and to share information. The site is designed for people to interact and there is a function by which people can share and upload their own recordings, korero in MP3 and digital forms.
Created by the JHMRC FoRST team, the website is designed to engage taitamariki from Hokianga, Takahiwai and Kaipara and encourage them to access and enjoy their own hapu stories and traditions. As a pilot project, the site has involved rural schools in Tai Tokerau including Te Kura Kaupapa Mori ki te Tonga o Hokianga, Te Kura Kaupapa Mori o Kaikohe, Northland College, Otamatea College, Panguru Area School, Opononi Area School, Broadwood Area School, and Bream Bay College.
www.tewehinui.com includes interviews with holders of traditional knowledge in both Mori and English. Phase two of the website development will include interviews and korero from other hapu of Tai Tokerau. Enquiries can be directed to the sites creator and administrator, Mike Hennessy at [email protected].

the website, with the aim of informing and empowering tribal members who wish to connect to the w kainga. Renata Tane is the kaumatua for field research.
Mori Maps aims to establish a database of information, photographs and maps for the 800+ tribal marae of Aotearoa. It will supply
essential information and empower marae networks. The projects outputs will be affordable and practically designed to assist the 500,000 plus Mori of New Zealand find their way back home again. The site will also offer private-access areas for marae use for the digital storage of archival and other private material.
The ongoing work of Mori Maps is facilitated by the charitable organisation Te Potiki National Trust. For further info on the work of the Trust visit www.morimaps.com, or direct enquiries to the trusts Kaihautu, Peter Dowling, [email protected]
It is an objective of JHMRC to attract the best international researchers on indigenous issues to Auckland to contribute to the knowledge bank of Tai Tokerau. In 2010, the Centre hosted Professor Shigenobu Sugito from Sugiyama Jogakuen University, Japan, while he undertook comparative resource management studies and the development of a genealogy software programme.
In March 2011, Professor Jon Altman from Australia National University, Canberra, presented an in-depth look at mining and energy issues in Aboriginal nations across Australia. JHMRC hosted one in a series of seminars and lectures given by. The law relating to ownership of both lands and mining resources has developed differently in Australia and affords both opportunities and issues that Aotearoa must pay heed to, especially given the current
political and economic focus on mining and petroleum exploration. The Bluemud Bay foreshore case, for example, has seen legal recognition of tribal ownership of the marine foreshore (The Blue Mud Decision Gumana v Northern Territory of Australia [2005] FCA 50). Professor Jon Altmans expertise and experience in mining and energy issues will continue to provide an important contact and resource for JHMRC.

JHMRCs website is to be re-launched in 2011 after operating at a maintenance level for some years. Archived copy and materials harvested by former JHMRC Director Dr Richard Benton will enable us to offer both the academic community and the people of the Universitys rohe access to a range of resources including:
The JHMRCs research approach and current activities.
Past research including key reports such as Well-being and Disparities in Tmaki-Makaurau.
A comprehensive bibliography of the JHMRCs publishing history from 1993 onwards
A range of archival material harvested by Dr Benton and colleagues prior to the JHMRC going into recess in 2003.
Copies of various academic papers delivered by JHMRC staff at international conferences.
This is an important milestone as it will give a public face to key Centre research projects and publications that havent been accessible for some years.

The JHMRCs Assistant Director Andrea Tunks (Te Whanau a Apanui, Te Whakatohea) attended the Environnmental Defence Society (EDS) conference Coastlines: Spatial Planning for Land and Sea, 1-2 June 2011. A powerful environmental lobby group and not-for-profit organisation, the EDS brought together scientists, planners, politicians, lobby groups and community environmentalists to inform and collaborate on how to progress a marine environmental management regime within and extending to New Zealands exclusive economic zone.
Various Mori were present at the hui, though iwi were not formally represented
at the conference. Tania McPherson (Ngti Wai), a marine scientist and strategist at Te Ohu Kaimoana, gave a formal presentation on how Mori fundamentals should be part of any planning regime for our oceans.
Presentations and workshops covered issues from oceans reform in the UK and USA and issues for New Zealand reform; implementing the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement and protection of marine eco-systems; spatial planning for coasts and lakesides; marine spatial planning, aquaculture, land-sea inter-face and offshore petroleum and minerals. There was debate about whether the Resource Management Act 1991 should be extended
to the exclusive economic zone or whether comprehensive marine and oceans policy needs to be developed.
There was a very brief presentation on customary rights sections of the Marine and Coastal Users (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 by Derek Nolan, but no discussion ensued. Derek Nolan is a partner at Russell McVeigh who represented the New Zealand Law Society before the Select committee on the Marine and Coastal Users (Takutai Moana) Bill.

Collaborative processThe over-arching resolution from the conference was that stakeholders in our moana and takutai moana work within a collaborative process. Examples of collaboration to mediate competing iwi, environmental, economic, private property interests include the Mackenzie Country in Te Wai Pounamu and the Land and Water Forum. The Environmental Defence Society will be advocating this collaborative approach with its strategic focus of good
environmental governance and anticipates working alongside iwi and community groups as oceans policy develops.
Tikapa Moana: Pilot project for collaborative resolution of interests: JHMRC registers as stakeholderThe EDS has also recently initiated a pilot project advocating a collaborative stakeholder engagement process in respect of the Hauraki Gulf-Tikapa Moana. The
JHMRC has registered its interest as a stakeholder in this process, as a watchdog for the coastal interests of Mori in the Auckland region; and in order to stay abreast of marine management issues that may affect mana whenua and mata waka of Tai Tokerau.

Tn r koutou katoa,
The revival of the JHMRC first began in 2007 and has been a difficult process because quality research is dependent upon quality funding and in the New Zealand
context that funding comes from national organisations and agencies. Our early work was concerned with looking at the needs and opportunities within Tai Tokerau and endeavouring to see whether our research could bring real long term benefit. As well, we had hoped to show how better utilisation and management of our assets, including people, would result in a greater contribution by Mori in Tai Tokerau.
The resignation of Dr Te Tuhi Robust in late 2009 and unsuccessful research applications resulted in the need for very prudent oversight of funding in 2010 and only essential work was undertaken.
Dr Kawharu and her FoRST team continued with the FoRST project and their sound and relevant research are reflected in the comments in this newsletter.
The present outlook is much more optimistic. First, the Marsden grant recently gained by Dr Kawharu and the JHMRC has allowed
her team to begin a much needed project. Second, the JHMRC is looking into a major diabetes research study in Tai Tokerau. Earlier, in 2008 Dr Robust and Rob Swales undertook a study about diabetes in Tai Tokerau and this research was developed from that study.
The Office has been very fortunate to appoint Andrea Tunks BA LLM (Auckland), former lecturer in Law, to the position of Assistant Director of the JHMRC.
The newsletter will be our ongoing communication with you all and will update you on the work of the JHMRC.
Hei knei r,

Word from the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Mori)
E te hunga taketake o Te Taitokerau, tena koutou.
It is a great pleasure to be in touch with you through this newsletter, to inform you of our research projects and progress.
We are so grateful for the support that many of you have given to Te Wehi Nui a Mamao a project designed to re-connect
taitamariki with their turangawaewae. Ka tukuna nga mihi mahana ano ki a koutou, na koutou i whakatinanahia te kaupapa mo nga tamariki mokopuna. The website www.tewehinui.com is the first of its kind for Tai Tokerau. Thank you to the schools who have tested and evaluated its usefulness. We will be re-engaging with you to ensure it may enhance the knowledge base of your school curriculum and projects. Krero from Matauri Bay will also be uploaded onto the website in the near future and a second phase of interviews is planned for 2011. Likewise with www.Morimaps.com; the project is ongoing but Tai Tokerau will be the first in the country to utilise and test the GPS tool, linking the generations who live away from the ahi ka, to their ancestral kainga. Tmaki ki te tonga is the next rohe to be uploaded onto the website. Thousands of kilometres have been covered by the Mori Maps team to photograph and document the many marae included on the site; a distance made smaller by the manaaki of the communities we have visited. I give my thanks to the team for their incredible efforts and to the ahi ka of the marae who are represented on the website.
The opportunity for the JHMRC to present Te Ara: Mori Pathways of Leadership to Europe has been an exciting one. This was made all the more significant when our kaumatua and kuia from home and the group Ki o Rahi from throughout Tai Tokerau came to tautoko. Our Masters research student Puawai Linter-Cole represented the JHMRC team.
Our next challenge and opportunity is the three year entrepreneurial tribal leadership project. Being awarded funding from the highly coveted and competitive Marsden Fund is a major achievement for the JHMRC. It will enable our project team to work alongside hap and iwi movers and shakers. Postgraduate researchers Whakarongotai Hokowhitu and Hirini Tane, Marsden scholarship receipients will be working as part of our team.
Heoi ano, naumai ki tenei huarahi whakaputa korero hei mohiotia whanuitia.
Na matou ki a koutou katoa, Merata me te ropu kaimahi o Te Whare Rangahau Mori o Hemi Henare.
