Coming up on Te Karere... The clean-up continues today after the violent deadly tornado that ripped through West Auckland. Ngati Toa has signed its treaty settlement. What does it mean for the Haka, Ka mate? The Aurere and Ngahiraka mai tawhiti crew are welcomed on to Rapanui. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Police have now named the three men killed by the tornado which ripped through the suburbs of Hobsonville and Whenuapai in North-West Auckland yesterday. The deceased are 22 year old Brendon Johnson, 60 year old Keith Langford and 42 year old Thomas Stowers. The men were in or beside a truck which was flattened by falling slabs of concrete at a construction site. We're unable to provide subtitles. The clean-up continues today after the violent deadly tornado that ripped through West Auckland. Hundreds of people are still cut off from their homes or without power. The damage of the storm is estimated at $11 million. Raiha Johns joins us now live from Hobsonville with the latest. 600 homes are still without power and the council are still cleaning up the streets. Most of the residents here have already left their homes. We spoke to a family who packed their belongings and left with what they could carry. There were 150 residents who were still at home when the tornado hit Hobsonville including this mother and her child. They heard banging on the door and windows which gave them a huge fright. Now they have been barred from staying in their home. Most of the contents in the house were damaged. First were the photos of our old people. They were the first things we took from the house. They're lucky another house has been prepared for them. Other than the lucky escape with their lives, they're also lucky their Christmas hasn't been ruined completely. Christmas presents have been salvaged and they'll be given out to the whanau. Lucky indeed. This family have made plans to move into a new home but for now they'll be staying with friends in another Auckland suburb. It's hope the weather here in Hobsonville will improve. Thank you Raiha... That was Raiha Johns live from Hobsonville. Ngati Toa has signed its Treaty settlement which paves the way for the tribe to have legal rights to the Haka, Ka mate. The - of the Wellington region and the top of the South Island resolved its historical grievances at Parliament this morning. It's been a long journey for Ngati Toa Rangatira to their final signing of the deed of settlement. We're happy this day has finally arrived. They have encountered many challenges along the way. However we still have many tasks ahead of us that need to be settled. In the settlement there is a special piece of legislation that includes rights to the internationally known Haka 'Ka mate', composed by Ngati Toa's own Te Rauparaha. We're please because we now have right to our Haka and our ancestor Te Rauparaha has been acknowledged. That was one of our main reasons for pursuing this case. Ngati Toa Rangatira will also be gifted the Kapiti Island Nature Reserve site which in turn will be gifted to the nation in recognition of the conservation values that are important to the . We have compassion for our environment and will be giving back 200 hectares. The is now looking at how to further grow the current asset base. The Aurere and Ngahiraka mai tawhiti crews have been welcomed on to Rapanui. The voyage across the Pacific has taken 16 weeks using the tradition navigation techniques off the stars, moon, stars, tides and sea guardians. Mana Epiha reports. I'm currently in Rapanui but for the indigenous people here it's also known as 'Te Kakahu o Hera'. It is said over a thousand years ago Maori departed this island in search for new land and today they have returned again. My heart skipped when I saw the canoes in rapanui waters. I didn't want the journey to cease, nor did I want to be a burden. The journey is complete, they left home with the goal to land here. They are example that this can be done. Many believed they wouldn't make it. Maori have rekindled their relationship with the people of Rapanui and their connection to each other will be forever bound Mana Epiha reporting from Rapanui, Te Karere. In the New Year Mana Epiha will broadcast a special piece profiling the Rapanui voyage. After the break, Waikato Tainui prepare to hold their elections this weekend and... A $20 million building opened today at Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi. The power struggle continues in Waikato-Tainui, as they prepare for yet another Kauhanganui meeting tomorrow to decide on who the executives are. The King has stepped in to the messy tribal politics, and has asked for a fresh mandate, but not everyone is listening, and the debate between tikanga Maori and Pakeha law is inciting more debate and division. Praying for peace in Waikato. The Te Ara Taura panel must resign and refresh their mandate. Next year in February, the people will have their say. Let Te Ara Taura see out its term, then the people can decide. We shouldn't be judged on just 9 months. From the first month Te Kauhanganui was established, it has clashed and has faced continued legal litigation. We need to change the rules let Maori customs rule, not Pakeha laws. We need to uphold the King's mana, and challenge those that are destructive to Waikato - that must stop. Everything Te Ara Taura has done has been aligned with what the people want. Tomorrow, the 200 Kauhanganui members will debate the issue. Potaka Maipi, Te Karere. The new meeting house costs $20,000, and was opened today at the Te Wananga o Awanuiarangi Whakatane Campus. It's point of distinction was that it was built by Maori, for Maori. Here's Ngahuia Wade's report. Education is the key to life at Awanuiarangi. This is the entrance of our new house. This is the entrance of our new house. You can see the Maori symbolism decorating it. Maori built this house in their writings. Yes, designed by Maori Architects, for Maori. This room is for our students to sit or to rest. Our students come in for their classes and sleep here. The dining room is just behind, and after class, they come back here to sleep. It can fit around 100 students, like a marae, but it's more of a dormitory for them. Where Maori knowledge will be transmitted to the world. This is the classroom for indigenous studies. The information is loaded here and can be sent nationally and internationally. A place where Ngati Awa leaders are honoured, who in turn honour the whare wananga. This is where we keep works by Sir Hirini Moko Mead. That's the name of this library. The library houses works by Sir Hirini Moko Mead and Sir Harawira Gardiner. Books by these Ngati Awa scholars are kept here for the students of this institution to read. A Maori initiative embraced by its community. Ngahuia Wade, Te Karere. NZ's cricket team is off to South Africa, but their captain Ross Taylor is staying behind due to issues that have come to light recently, and Tumamao Harawira and I discussed this, I'll say it like this while he wore the mantel of captaincy for the Blackcaps, the team was not at its best, so I don't disagree with Coach Mike Pearson's decision, but they did win a test. It's been about 12 months since their last victory. Ross Taylor and his team need to keep at it so that they might improve in time. But I can't argue with Cricket NZ. It's right, considering how bad the Blackcaps have done in the last year. It seems Brendon McCallum will be filling in for him was that a good move? It's okay, seeing as he's one of the best bowlers in the world, for 20-20, there's no one better. He's lacking a bit in tests and one-day matches. Brendon McCallum is a part of NZ's cricket holy trinity he's an expert cricketer. There's Brendon McCallum, and Ross Taylor is another. So it's a good choice. Now let's take a look at the Maori Programmes TVNZ has to offer over the weekend. Tomorrow on IAMTV, we catch up with Beulah Koale from Shortland Street, we play basketball at YouthTown's birthday, and we talk to rap artist Shirlay tomorrow on IAMTV. For our last show of the year, the stars of NZGT join us, J-Geeks and Mihirangi Fleming to entertain us this Sunday on Marae Investigates. Pouakani Marae, a standing place for those of Mangakino, and reaching to Kahungunu ki Wairarapa who were ousted from their homelands by the Crown. Waka Huia, Sunday TVOne. After the break, more than 1,000 young adults have converged on Auckland today, but why? And the weather. To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz. More than 1,000 youths were in Auckland today for a conference about climate change, and they weren't just New Zealanders, but from all over the Pacific. A Maori groups came down from Northland to discuss their own climate concerns. Climate change affects us all. Which is why this climate change has been set up for the first time for Pacific nations. Caring for our planet, the environment, the climate, the sky father and his children. The ocean is a food source for many Maori across the country - Northland tribes are concerned because lots of oil exploration companies are up there looking at different blocks of land to drill. We're here to listen to what's being said, to be like Te Whanau a Apanui who fought away Petrobras. We have connections to Hokianga ki Kaipara, where the Turbines are situated in the Kaipara area. Dayle Takitimu of Te Whanau a Apanui is one of the keynote speakers here. Looking after the land and people - moving ahead. This is the motto of this summit - it finishes on Sunday.
