Job opportunities with Ngāi Tahu Tourism Kia ora koutou, my name is Quinton Hall and I am the Kaihautū o Te Pou Tāpoi o Ngāi Tahu/ Ngāi Tahu Tourism (NTT) CE. We are about to head into our busy season and need help to find some amazing people to join us this summer.

We operate some of the most iconic experiences in Aotearoa which include Dart River Jet, Hollyford Track, Guided Walks NZ, Franz Josef Glacier Guides and Hot Pools, Rainbow Springs, Agrodome, Shotover Jet and Hukafalls Jet.

Staffing and recruitment is an on-going challenge for us, not only because of the number of experiences we operate but also because the tourism industry is highly seasonal.

The majority of visitors to New Zealand arrive between October and April so we need fewer people in the quieter winter months when there are fewer tourists around; but then we need to rapidly expand our teams during summer.

This means that from September we are typically looking for relatively large numbers of seasonal and part-time staff. We provide mahi to over 280 people year round which grows to over 350 in the summer months. Sometimes we have to advertise the same role several times a year due to visa or travel constraints of the people we need (often language speakers).

One of the other challenges we face is that our attractions are in rural, sometimes remote locations where accommodation can be hard to find – this often makes it even harder to attract people. In Franz Josef, probably our most remote location, we provide accommodation for some of our team to make things easier for them.

Another challenge is that people tend to perceive roles within the tourism industry to be casual work with limited prospects for the longer-term; however, while some of our roles are short-term or temporary, there are often opportunities to progress.

We also require a relatively high degree of skill in a number of our roles, for example jet boat drivers and mechanics across our jet boat operations (Shotover, Dart and Hukafalls); glacier guides at Franz Josef and wildlife trainers at Rainbow Springs. All of these roles are specialised and need a significant amount of training, which requires investment and time fromNgāi Tahu Tourism.

We always try to retain or attract back anyone we have trained for specialised roles. For instance, Kahurangi Wilson-Mahuika (Makaawhio) is returning for his third season at the Hollyford Track this year and is now a senior guide. He was one of the first young people to be nominated to join the annual hīkoi into the Hollyford Valley back in 2012. He was then employed as a guide and this year has progressed to his senior role.

Where we can, we move people between businesses in order to help us retain to good people. For example, the recent acquisition of Guided Walks New Zealand/NZ Snow Shoe will help us retain key Hollyford guiding staff through the winter months.

We are now gearing-up for the busy period and would like to alert you to the permanent, seasonal and casual mahi opportunities available through the following channels:

• Our careers site: workforus.nttourism.co.nz• www.seek.co.nz• www.trademe.co.nz• www.mahi.co.nz• Papatipu Rūnaka contacts via RU@ngaitahu.

iwi.nz

Māra kai project launchedTe Kākano Māra Kai launched at Araiteuru Marae in Dunedin on a sunny Sunday in late September.

The overarching goals of the Māra Kai project are to advance Whānau Ora through a variety of objectives including ensuring healthy food choices are affordable, available and accessible; increasing the consumption of vegetables in the kāinga; promoting healthy eating and physical activity and reducing the impact of poor physical health and nutrition on whānau.

Along the way, the māra kai initiatives also enable an intimate connection between kai, whenua, wellbeing and connection.

“If I look back on my own family, there’s a long line of gardeners living off and on the land. Māra Kai is not new, but it’s rediscovering and trying to get people back growing food again,” says Wally Te Whaiti.

Te Kākano Māra Kai is being run by Kāi Tahu ki Otago Limited, trading as Tū Mai Ora Whānau Services, and was one of the first round of initiatives funded by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu.

“Te Pūtahitanga is really excited by the ways in which the various māra kai initiatives funded across Te Waipounamu are investing in whānau capability in so many different ways,” says interim Te Pūtahitanga CEO Helen Leahy.

“We see the tamariki playing round the marae, rangatahi entertaining us with kapa haka, whānau celebrating with shared kai, at the same time sharing all of their aspirations for rejuvenating the hāngī pit, growing kai for rongoā, for weaving and producing boxed gardens and terraced gardens. We’ve even a use for the gorse.”

The theme of the launch of Te Kākano Māra Kai was ‘in growing gardens we also grow whānau.’ In many ways it expresses the potential and the power of Whānau Ora. For more details have a look at our website: www.teputahitanga.org

Exploring Ngāi Tahu birthing traditions University of Canterbury PhD student, Kelly Tikao will present a wānanga on her journey to date looking at traditional Māori birthing practices at Hui-ā-Iwi in Dunedin in November. Kelly (Ngāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha) was this year’s recipient of both the Health Research Council PhD Māori Scholarship and the Ngāi Tahu Research Centre UC Māori PhD Scholarship and she is looking forward to sharing her doctoral studies with festival-goers.

Kelly has a wide background in tertiary level studies. She is a registered nurse, she studied a Bachelor of Arts in Māori Studies at the University of Auckland and a Master of Science Communication (film-making) at the University of Otago. After an encouraging prompt by her aunty, she decided to enrol at the Univesity of Canterbury to complete her final degree.

Kelly is now in the first year of her PhD studies where she is under the supervision of Dr Sonja Macfarlane, Dr Te Maire Tau and Dr Merata Kawharu.

“This is the first time in my life I am able to work full-time on my own research – thanks to the two scholarships, the support of my whānau and my awesome supervisors. I hope my research and eventual findings will have an impact on Māori and particularly my Ngāi Tahu whānau.

“One of the reasons I decided to study this kaupapa was because I wanted to know what particular practices and rituals were undertaken by our Ngāi Tahu tīpuna around pregnancy and birth. I wanted to learn about the origins of these traditions.

“I want to remind people that we have beautiful birthing traditions and tikanga and that they are still relevant today. These traditions aren’t just about birthing a baby, they are about creating an identity,” she says.

Kelly says Ngāi Tahu tīpuna were knowledgeable around the process of birth and were in their own right, scientists. Plants like harakeke, kawakawa and black fern were used before and during birth, and even afterwards, to aid the healing process; and often bird or seal oils were dripped into the baby’s mouth as a cleansing process after birth.

“They knew the importance of why all of the whenua (afterbirth) needed to come out – it was crucial if the baby and the mother were to avoid complications post birth. Some women would even get into water and use the strong currents to relax and encourage the whare tangata to contract the whenua out,” she says.

Although some Māori birthing traditions have been forgotten, Kelly says more whānau are starting to show strong interest in using traditional Māori birthing practices, in particular the use of rongoā which is not just a form of herbal ingestion. Rongoā methods also include waiata (song) taonga pūoro (instruments), karakia (prayer), mirimiri (massage) and much more.

From next year, Kelly will begin planning wānanga at Papatipu Rūnanga around Te Waipounamu. She hopes whānau will share their own or their family’s birthing methods and stories. She is aiming to complete her PhD towards the end of 2017.

Hui-ā-Iwi 2015 will be held from Friday 20-Sunday 22 November and will be a celebration of all things Ngāi Tahu. It is an opportunity for all to share in whakawhanaungatanga and experience the best of Ngāi Tahutanga. All Ngāi Tahu whānau are welcome to attend and there will be an open day on the Saturday for all members of the public. Find out more about Hui-ā-Iwi at by visiting: http://ngaitahu.iwi.nz/ngai-tahu-events/hui-a-iwi-2015/

Poem an exile thinks of Bluffat the north end of townthe footpaths havetwisted out of shape;Bluff, if you like,in its singlet

hillsides bare – the gorse blooms pale there – and the streets

i’d be there now, reallyif i could -but i’m stuck herein the North Islandfor good.

Poem for James Spencer who landed there in 1824. Nā Brian Pōtiki.

New life for lake tributaryFifteen years ago, Harts Creek, one of the key tributaries leading into Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere, was in trouble. The stream was silting up, fish numbers had declined and cattle were grazing right down to the water margin. Local fisherman Allan Fife was concerned. Back in the late 80s he’d been impressed with the world-class trout he and others had been able to net in Harts Creek and he had sadly watched the slow decline in stream conditions. In search of a solution he met with local farmer Peter Chamberlain, who in turn met with an Environment Canterbury representative. It was decided to get local landowners together, to demonstrate to them that some of their actions were impacting on the stream and from there, the Harts Creek and Birdling’s Brook Streamcare Group was formed. Peter Chamberlain approached Environment Canterbury, and with support from the Department of Conservation and Selwyn District Council and the thirteen neighbouring landowners, extensive work has

been carried out to fence and plant the creek. A short video created by the Waihora Ellesmere Trust with the support of Environment Canterbury and the World Wildlife Fund has been produced to celebrate the success of the conservation group. Harts Creek runs through the property of local farmer and poet Colin Patterson and fifteen years ago, he was hesitant about being involved in the restoration project. “I knew it was a complex and expensive job but I was encouraged to think differently at the time so I got involved. One of the great successes of the project was electing Peter as chair. He recognised the significance of the creek running through his farm 20 years before we even started this. And I’m pleased to say it’s all worked very well and I’m pleased to have been a part of it. What the group has achieved to date has been very rewarding,” he says. Fellow farmers and fisherman are also enthusiastic about the stream restoration project and the difference it has made to Harts Creek. Today the vegetation is lush, the water is clear and fish and birds have returned to the environment. It’s a testament to the fact that patience and perseverance do pay off. You can watch the WET video of the Harts Creek restoration at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGo1vCaaGW8&feature=youtu.be

Harts Creek restoration has been a great success.

NohoangaNohoanga provide all Ngāi Tahu with an opportunity to experience the landscape as their tīpuna did, and to rekindle the traditional practices of gathering food and other natural resources.

The term ‘nohoanga’ (literally meaning a place to sit) traditionally refers to the seasonal occupation sites which were an integral part of the mobile lifestyle of Ngāi Tahu whānui as they moved around Te Waipounamu (the South Island) in pursuit of food and other natural resources.

This traditional concept has been given contemporary effect as a result of the Settlement of the Ngāi Tahu Claim through the allocation of specific ‘camping’ sites to support mahinga kai activities.

Under the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, nohoanga sites are specific areas of Crown owned land adjacent to lakeshores or riverbanks, which can be used to facilitate the gathering of food and other natural resources by Ngāi Tahu whānui. They are usually one hectare in size.

Ngāi Tahu whānui have temporary but exclusive rights to occupy these sites between the middle of August and the end of April each year.

There are 72 allocated nohoanga sites within Te Waipounamu. Not all of these sites are available for use.

Boost for mahinga kai species Whitebait and river birds will benefit from a new partnership between the Community Conservation Partnership Fund and Ngāi Tahu, which aims to restore their natural habitats after the upheaval of the Christchurch earthquakes. The Hon Nicky Wagner, Associate Minister of Conservation officially announced support for whitebait and Canterbury’s colony-nesting river birds at a function at the Radley Road Bridge, Heathcote on Sunday 13 September. The Community Conservation Partnership Fund (CCPF) is providing more than $126,000 to the Whaka Īnaka project, which will set up temporary īnanga habitat using straw bales along the Ōpāwaho/Heathcote and Ōtākaro /Avon rivers. The site will be monitored over the breeding season to see where inanga are spawning following the earthquakes. Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga chair Clare Williams says: “Whaka Īnaka is driven by iwi and community aspirations for healthy rivers that sustain mahinga kai (traditional food gathering) species. We want rivers to be full of food and clean enough that it is safe for everyone in the community to eat from them.” “The findings from the project will then inform where best to invest efforts for permanent habitat restoration in the future,” she says. Whitebait spawning in Christchurch has been declining for some time, and has been further affected by the earthquakes. The Whaka Īnaka project, in partnership with EOS Ecology and University of Canterbury, will

provide immediate temporary spawning habitat for whitebait along a three-kilometre stretch of Christchurch river banks. “Our ultimate goal is to encourage more īnanga breeding and to develop greater awareness and support for cleaning up our rivers,” says Shelley McMurtrie Principal Aquatic Ecology Scientist for EOS. Whaka Īnaka is allied to the Mahinga Kai Exemplar project on Anzac Drive (between Travis Wetlands and the Avon River), which aims to increase understanding of mahinga kai values and encourage other projects along the river corridor to also recognise and provide for mahinga kai. Project spokesperson, Te Marino Lenihan says: “If we build for fish then the people will come. If we build for people, the fish will not.” The project demonstrates the value of conservation on a number of levels and by bringing whitebait back into city rivers, people will have a greater appreciation of the value of central city conservation projects. The CCPF is also investing more than $33,000 in the Braided River Partnership project, which aims to improve the success of colony-nesting birds along Canterbury rivers. It aims to work with people who regularly use the rivers to preserve braided river species such as the critically endangered black-billed gull (tarapuka), the nationally endangered black-fronted tern (tarapirohe), the nationally vulnerable wrybill (ngutu pare) and banded dotterel (turiwhatu).
