Relatives of the three young victims of a horror smash north of Auckland have gathered at Parakai to grieve. Police are investigating what caused the fatal smash near Helensville yesterday afternoon after a car being driven by a 17-year-old woman is reported to have crossed the centre line. A family and community are in mourning today. The driver of the car was 17. She was driving her niece and nephews from Huapai home to Parakai. The driver died The driver died along with her two-year-old and 11-year-old nephews. A six-year-old girl survived and is in hospital with a broken leg. Police say the driver was unlicensed, but the family say she was an experienced driver. The children only started at Huapai School The children only started at Huapai School at the start of the term, but they say it has been a big shock and they are trying to cope with the tragedy. For the family, it's a big loss. The family of the deceased have gathered at a house behind me, they asked for privacy and didn't want to make any comment. They are now waiting for the bodies of their loved ones to be returned here where the tangi will take place. It's understood the burial will take place early next week. Irena Smith, Te Karere. Relief for Ngai Tuhoe today as negotiations on a deed of settlement to settle the historical claims of Tuhoe come to an end. The deed is now subject to ratification by all members of Tuhoe who are being encouraged to make their vote. A Crown apology for breaches to the Treaty is part of the redress but as Peata Melbourne reports, an apology for the 2008 Urewera raids could be on the table. An emotional day for Tuhoe. The signing of a deed of settlement for $170 million for Treaty breaches going over 100 years of feelings of alienation to end. And it hasn't been a smooth road with the recent challenges to Tuhoe from Ngati Ruapani. An apology will be part of the redress but a second apology for Tuhoe Raids could also be in the wings. A social service management plan for the Tuhoe region is included in the redress but its bringing concern amidst the general public about on-going public access to Te Urewera and Management of the National Park. The real work begins now, resource consents are already underway for the new $15 million state of the art, environmentally sustainable Arts building and Tuhoe working towards their goal of Mana Motuhake. Peata Melbourne, Te Karere. Hinerangi Goodman took to the streets to ask Tuhoe descendants what they thought of the Treaty settlement. She asked them whether they supported the settlement or not. We caught up with these descendants of Tuhoe busily getting their hangi kai ready to sell to make money for their haka team to travel and perform at the Tuhoe Festival next week. Following are their responses to the signing of the deed of settlement this morning. We are full of joy and in total support of moving forward as an iwi, although among us there are those who are detractors. My hope is that they will spend the money wisely My hope is that they will spend the money wisely and not just squander it everywhere. I spoke to some of those who were strongly opposed to I spoke to some of those who were strongly opposed to the manner in which the whole deal has I spoke to some of those who were strongly opposed to the manner in which the whole deal has been handled; however they declined to comment on camera. Although they are challenging and angry at what's going on, at the end of the day they are still Tuhoe and part of us. No doubt this will be a huge topic of conversation at the upcoming Tuhoe Festival. Hinerangi Goodman, Te Karere. Mana motuhake, self-determination is another chapter in the genealogy of Tuhoe people, it's etched in Tuhoe people's lives and to achieve it would make their treaty settlement a full package. Tuhoe have observed the way Scotland has been working towards their own goals of becoming independent from the UK and today they have reached a milestone. The Scottish people will be able to vote on September 18 to decide whether to sever the 300 year ties as part of the UK or become an independent country. 71-year-old Pita Sharples has made it clear he's not giving up the leadership until he's dead, which has raised the spectre of a three-way leadership to allow Te Ururoa Flavell a chance in the driver's seat. Is it divine intervention or an unholy trinity? Tina Wickliffe wraps the week in politics. I've raised the flag; I've said I'm ready. So who exactly is leading the Maori Party? But he's not going anywhere until he's dead, hence the prayer for a Maori Party trinity. If all of you are leaders, who are you leading other than yourselves? Three, three, three, three of us. And the rest of us are just as confused. They're proposing a special role for someone. Which is him. The Maori Party leadership will be determined by the executive and membership. We're all Maori, despite this disagreement over the leadership... But the angel says otherwise. Tina Wickliffe, Te Karere. After the break; I'm living off $5 a day for food. Stay tuned for details. Rev Mike Tamihere of the Anglican Church has been living on $5 a day for 40 days to remind himself of the challenges poor families face with food. There's also another reason he's doing it, but the end is near and he says it hasn't been easy. Anzac Pikia has more. God has helped him on his $5-a-day journey. I'm over it. I love my food, as you can see by the size of me. as you can see by the size of me. It's all about thinking of the poor, but there's another reason behind it. This is Lent season, and what we do is likened to what Jesus did when he went into the desert for 40 days. We do it each year. His food has been simple - a bit of meat, eggs, vegetables and fruit. It's a big change to how he used to spend his money on food. I'd spend $5-$30 on the one meal, but I've cut that down to $30 a week. Lots of benefits have come out of this for him. Sometimes we think that to be successful, we need a 50inch TV or a new mobile phone. I've learnt that we don't and I m sticking to it. I've learnt that we don't and I'm sticking to it. He finishes next week, when we'll all be pigging out on chocolate Easter eggs. Anzac Pikia, Te Karere. Labour Party frontbencher, Shane Jones pours cold water on the transfer of spectrum management rights from the Crown to Te Putahi Paoho, the Maori Television Service Electoral College, and he points the finger of blame directly at the Minister of Maori Affairs, Pita Sharples. He says it's easy for the minister to make rash decisions when he hasn't secured any funding to make it happen, nor has he injected any extra funding in to what already exists. He goes on to say that all this does is set the Maori Television service Electoral College against MTS and the only result will be on-going conflict. Sir Paul Reeves lives on. The newest building at AUT is dedicated to him as a former chancellor of the university. Raiha Johns went to see the building and to hear what his mokopuna thinks about it. A splendid building for a splendid man. The newest building at AUT bears Sir Paul Reeves' name, a former professor and chancellor. A building is just a building, A building is just a building, but this is a dedication to Sir Paul Reeves and his dream. That dream was that the students succeed in whatever field. His granddaughter is also a student here studying fashion design. There are 12 floors in this building. It's been two years in the making. The building cost $98 million to make. It's no wonder that the classes taught here are of design and broadcasting. It's no doubt the students will succeed with the modern and innovative classrooms. Sir Paul Reeves' family brought his memory along to open the building. The grieving stops and now we move forward which is what he wanted, The grieving stops and now we move forward which is what he wanted, for all the students to leave capped. It is with feathers that the bird will fly. It is with a new building and keen students, Sir Paul's dreams will be fulfilled. Raiha Johns, Te Karere. And now we talk sports with Tumamao Harawira. Tena koe, Tu. We're unable to provide subtitles. Tumamao Harawira, thank you for your time. Now let's take a look at the Maori Programmes TVNZ has to offer over the weekend. I'm on an island and it's said that this is how Aotearoa looked before the arrival of Europeans. So watch Marae Investigates on Sunday. It's probably because his spirit is still with me. Sunday, TV One After the break, the weather. To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz. That's all we have for today. Turou Hawaiki. Captions were made possible with funding from NZ on Air.
