Coming up on Te Karere... Today marks the most traumatic day for Ngati Awa, 150 years since the battle at Te Kupenga. Mana whenua rights of three Auckland iwi are being played out in high court today as policy and law are debated over land rights. And we get a sneak peek into the Gottfried Lindauer exhibition. 20 October 2016 Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. To mark the exact day in 1865, 151 years since the battle of Te Kupenga in Te Teko, the Crown confiscated some 245,000 acres of Ngati Awa land, the iwi gathered at Te Kupenga Pa in Te Teko to commemorate the occasion. Hinerangi Goodman was there. A day of commemoration, a day when Ngati Awa remember when they were attacked by outsiders, and to grieve the lives of those they lost. The entire value of land confiscated by the Crown is over 245,000 acres. It is a blatant example of theft of land. According to history this is the worst battle between the Crown and Ngati Awa. According to what WG Mair has recorded, who was a major at the time, Ngati Awa was soundly defeated and would never return. It's an important occasion that will never be forgotten by the future generations of Ngati Awa. They are tomorrow's leaders for the iwi. Hinerangi Goodman, Te Karere. An urban marae in Wellington is reaching out to organisations such as the National Urban Maori Authority to help maintain its buildings. Taputeranga was the capital's first urban marae. Now some of its buildings which are nearly 40 years old are in need of repair to manaaki their manuhiri. Eruera Rerekura reports. For 40 years this marae has stood to accommodate visitors. However, the biggest issue facing him at the moment, because the Wellington City Council has closed down some of their buildings, those buildings can't accommodate their visitors. They're now seeking help through donations to fix up the buildings. Mr Stewart is reaching out to organisations such as the National Urban Maori Authority. Mr Stewart says he's still talking with the Wellington City Council, and he hopes the community will support the marae so it can still continue to accommodate their visitors.

The third and final US presidential debate was held between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton today. Our reporter who will be over in New York to cover the election results. Tamati Rimene-Sproat, breaks down the final debate and what it means for Maori. It's a debate to settle who will take the presidency of one of the world's powerhouses. And Labour MP Peeni Henare believes it is a debate that will directly affect Maori. America is one of our biggest trade partners for Maori exporters. The US market is valued at $4.7 billion for main exports like milk products and beef. One of the most important topics of this debate is trade. It is also one of the countries that will be influential in whether or not the TPPA will go ahead. One of the other major topics that will influence Maori is the changes in immigration. The result will be announced on November 8. Tamati Rimene-Sproat, Te Karere. After the break, We have Mana Party leader Hone Harawira live with us now. Tena koe, Hone. Hone Harawira, thank you for your time. Mana whenua rights of three Auckland iwi are being played out in high court today as policy and law are debated over land rights. Ngati Whatua have taken the Crown/Attorney General to court that Ngati Paoa and Marutuahu say have impacted on their ongoing treaty settlements with the Crown. Peata Melbourne was at court today. Ngati Paoa and Marutuahu are in disagreement with Ngati Whatua, Ngati Whatua is in disagreement with the Crown, and the Crown is in disagreement with how policies will play out in the name of Maori protocol. Maratuahu, Ngati Paoa, Tainui and Ngati Whatua all have interests in properties Ngati Whatua say are theirs by right of ahi ka. The areas of interest are Pukekawa and Maungawhau. Ngati Whatua have already settled their treaty claims. However Ngati Paoa and Marutuahu are still in negotiations with the Crown and say these court proceedings are implicating the process. Ngati Whatua also contend the Crown's overlapping claims policy including a refusal to recognise areas of exclusive mana whenua. They say they are judicially reviewable. of the 13 mana whenua coalition in Auckland? Ngati Paoa told Te Karere today it's a matter of reciprocity for them. Whatever the outcome, defining the role of tikanga in court proceedings may set a precedent for any other iwi with mana whenua over land with multiple intersects. Peata Melbourne, Te Karere.
