Coming up on Te Karere... We're on the remote Guernsey Island for the repatriation of a Toi Moko held for over 100 years. Why Tariana Turia says she's lost heart in Maori Television. They've been looking after visitors for over a century, today Tuhourangi are honoured by Tourism NZ. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. A tattooed Maori head, or toi moko, which has spent more than 100 years in a foreign land is being returned to Aotearoa. d The toi moko was part 8 of the Guernsey Museum's 19th Century collections of antiquities. Also being brought home are koiwi and other toi moko from the UK and Ireland. Guernsey is an island between France and England and Te Karere cameras were there. The joining of two cultures - for this ancestral head to be returned to its rightful home. I've seen his eyes. He's a chief, royalty. The Guernsey Museum initiated talks with Te Papa Tongarewa about having the head returned. Seven other toi moko and five koiwi tangata are being returned from the UK and Ireland. They were smuggled out and at the end of this month they'll be returned home in the proper manner. The university has no records about the bones and heads. And that's the task ahead for us - to research who they are. The main thing is we know that they're Maori. Te Papa estimates there are 650 ancestral remains held around the world, with the majority of these in European institutions. Anzac Pikia, Te Karere. On October 31 all the toi moko and koiwi tangata will be repatriated to NZ in a ceremony which will be held at Te Papa Tongarewa. Education Minister Hekia Parata assures the 470 kohanga reo and its 9000 kids they have not committed any impropriety and the allegations of financial misappropriation only relates to one staff member as part of the trust. An audit by Ernst and Young is underway into the misuse of money and should be completed in the next few weeks. Walking in to the fire stoked by accusations of misuse by the Kohanga Reo Trust. In their efforts to clean up their own house, they got into worse trouble. Through seeking answers over the dismissal of Titoki Black, it seemed these descendants of Mataatua opened a can of worms and now have no option but bite the hand that feeds them. There are many questions left unanswered, like will the board members be stood down for wrong doing? It's a question that will be left for the audit to be answered A stark reminder from the minister if the language is a taonga then treat it as such and don't let it be choked to death by shame. Tini Molyneux, Te Karere. Meanwhile Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia has lashed out at Maori Television and its portrayal of the credit card spending saga. Turia says perilous links were made between the company at the centre of the allegations and the actual trust. Peata Melbourne with that development. Maori groups and organisations need to stick to Maori 'kaupapa' and protocols. That's according to Tariana Turia for the way in which Maori Television broke the Kohanga Reo scandal the Kohanga Reo scandal in recent weeks. She came out publicly of her opinion on Radio Waatea today when asked about the coverage on Kohanga Reo and the spending by the subsidiary group It was Maori TV who obtained the documents pertaining to the Kohanga Reo Trust and first disclosed their contents, and it was that coverage which brought about her disappointment. She goes on to say that she has no qualms about investigations into financial misappropriation, especially when there has been any wrongdoing. But in terms of the media coverage? She says she expects more of Maori organisations such as Maori TV. Peata Melbourne, Te Karere. Joining me now from our Wellington studio is Maori Party co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell. Tena koe, Te Ururoa. Hekia Parata was at pains today to state that the Kohanga Reo review is not a probe into the thousands of kohanga children, teachers and whanau. Do you believe the bigger kaupapa has been damaged by the Maori Television reports? We're unable to provide subtitles. Te Ururoa Flavell, thank you for joining us. After the break, Tuhourangi is honoured for its contribution to NZ tourism. And Katarina Cooper is set to debut for the Silver Ferns against Malawi. A new pou has been unveiled in Rotorua to honour Tuhourangi and Ngati Hinemihi's ancestors. Tourism NZ wished to acknowledge both iwi for laying the foundation of tourism in NZ more than 150 years ago. At the crack of dawn, Ohomairangi was unveiled and placed as a sacred guardian for these Ngati Hinemihi lands. Ngati Hinemihi have been waiting over 150 years for the return of these lands. The pou, carved by experts at the NZ Arts and Crafts Institute, was gifted by Tourism NZ acknowledging the iwi as pioneers of tourism in NZ. The history of international tourism here stretches back to well before the eruption of Tarawera in 1886. The pink and white terraces were the main attraction back then where tourists were taken on tours. Initially, it was never their main priority to take tourists around. But once it happened, they took the opportunity. Thousands of people traversed the seas every year to come to Rotorua, then across Lake Tarawera to see the wonders. Our great-aunts were the guides. They all moved to Whakarewarewa and continued being guides and now their descendants have followed in their footsteps. Today, NZ's tourism industry is currently worth $23.4 billion. The iwi's newest addition to the sector is a historic trail that will reach 30km. The main objective is to share the stories of our land, our mountains and our lake with the world. The priority, however, is to host their many visitors. A legacy to be left to their descendants. Kereama Wright, Te Karere. The decision to close a Maori-medium class, Te Whare Kakano, at Parakai School has been made carried out. Despite this, the families of the unit are determined to continue to keep it open. Despite instruction from Education Minister, Hekia Parata, for them to come up with a way for Te Whare Kakano to remain open, she says that the final decision rests with the school board. This is the only Maori language unit in the south of Kaipara. The Maori All Blacks team travelling to North America has just been named. Tim Bateman from the Hurricanes is captain. Six of the players have played for the All Blacks, whilst 11 of the squad played for the Maori All Blacks last year. The squad departs for North America on Monday 28 October. Today, the Silver Fern's team was named for the next three games. Anna Thomspon has been named while Courtney Tairi being left out. Katarina Cooper and Te Huinga Reo Selby-Rickit have been announced to play this Friday. After the break, a special Auckland City edition of Monopoly will be released, but it features a misspelt Maori place name. To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz. An Auckland version of Monopoly has been launched with all the fanfare, but manufacturers failed to pick up a spelling mistake of one of the most famous Maori street names. Piha, Akoranga and Waitakere feature amongst the 21 Auckland landmarks unveiled at a launch this morning. However the spelling of Karangahape Road is incorrect. Aucklanders were consulted by the game's manufacturers about what should be featured, with Mayor Len Brown adding the infamous Karangahape Road on his list. Plans are also underway for other NZ cities The game hits shelves next month, in time for Christmas. That's all we have for today. Turou Hawaiki.
