  1. Tangata whenua: Principles & directions Michelle Thompson-Fawcett & Hauauru Rae Department of Geography, University of Otago Artist: Theresa Reihana

  2. Māori & Mining: A tool kit for navigating through the mining information miasma Katharina Ruckstuhl (R&E), Diane Ruwhiu (Management), Michelle Thompson-Fawcett (Geography), Jacinta Ruru (Law), Lyn Carter (TeTumu), Andrew Gorman (Geology), Janet Stephenson (CSAFE), with research assistance from Abby Suszko, Rachel Turner, Hauauru Rae This project has been supported by a Manu Ao Academic Development Grant

  3. What is the issue? • Pressure to capitalise on rich diversity of mineral resources • For Māori, that pressure has to be balanced with broader sets of responsibility embodied within TeAo Māori • This places different values on the environment and its use as a resource to be nurtured or exploited “What affects Papatūānuku, affects our tamariki” Maika (2010)

  4. Why should Māori be involved? Iwi are facing increasing demands to come up with a position of support or opposition to mining proposals. A difficult undertaking because : • broader range of priorities for iwi /hapū ; • technicality of mining activity

  5. Potential for growth Currently, mining of mineral resources is worth only $5 million of value to the Māori economy, the lowest earning industry for Māori besides the government sector. • Employment, training, upskilling • Royalties, access permits, concessions • Development of community infrastructure • Organisational learning through joint ventures

  6. Contentious issues July 2012 NgatiHako fighting Newmont Gold's application to vary its mining licence Waihi’s Martha open cast gold mine.Pukewa had been a burial ground for ancestors although it was also recognised by kaumatua (elders) as being a source of great energy and power called the crystal mountain “Sacred mountain that is now a massive hole in the ground” (Cousins, 2012)

  7. Contentious issues August 2012 NgatiHau face issues with Newmont Waihi Gold/heavy metal exploration at Puhipuhi"NgatiHau is not supportive of mining at this stage but then we haven't been given the information we need to decide otherwise." (Laird, 2012) Concern about local waterways if gold is mined in Puhipuhi mountain.

  8. Contentious issues Govtprovides an exploration licence to Petrobras for Raukumara Basin. MP TeUruroaFlavell"Much of TeWhanaua Apanui's way of life is based around the sea, including the native fish stocks which provide them with sustenance, and now this Government’s decision has placed that in a state of threat." “Our job is to look after Tangaroa, to ensure he and everything in him is sustained for our mokopuna.”

  9. July 2012 Te Ao Marama and Te Rūnangao NgāiTahu gave their approval in relation to non-notified resource consent to carry out petroleum explorationand drill a well on Stewart Island * • "NgaiTahu would look at anything, as long as it's sustainable," says tribe leader Mark Solomon. "If the environmental impacts are negligible, then we would look at it."
