Forum

The meeting was opened with a mihi whakatau
for the Co-Chairpersons.
Karakia was given by Ngāti Wai Kaumatua Mr Carmen Hetaraka,
which was followed by a whaikorero given by Tangata Whenua member Mook Hohneck
and responded to by Tangata Whenua members Dean Ogilvie and Paul Majurey. The
mihi whakatau welcomed both Co-Chairpersons, supported their leadership roles,
and opened the Forum to the new pathway of co-governance.
Co-Chairperson Nicola MacDonald
commissioned two Kahu Korari / Pake (woven capes) and gifted these for the
Co-Chairpersons as a symbol of the enduring relationship and commitment to
uphold the values and aspirations to protect our taonga tuku iho, the Hauraki
Gulf. The Tangata Whenua members named the capes Tīkapa Moana and Te Moananui ā Toi, representing the interconnectedness of the ocean and people.
The Co-Chairpersons are the kaitiaki of the Kahu Korari / Pake, which will
remain with the positions of Co-Chairpersons for as long as they are maintained.
