Coming up on Te Karere... 02 December 2016 Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Hundreds of mourners have travelled to Te Whetu o Te Rangi Marae to pay tribute to fallen Tauranga Moana leader Awanui Black. As Te Okiwa McLean reports, the feature today was tribes from the Bay of Plenty acknowledging Awanui Black's legacy he created in the region. Many iwi mourn the passing of a great leader. It's abundantly clear that Awanui was involved with all iwi. Hence the large crowds who came to pay their respect. And all kept saying it is a tragedy that he died so young. At 6am tomorrow the war parties of the New Zealand Land Wars will arrive and do one last guard of honour for their chief. Te Okiwa McLean, Te Karere. Today was the first day of a new era for three Taranaki iwi. Yesterday, long standing treaty grievances were finally settled at Parliament. The compensation will see more than $225m paid to iwi. So what do the leaders of these iwi have planned for the future? Yvonne Tahana has this report. Taranaki Maunga has seen more than 150 years of injustice, land loss and cultural oppression suffered by iwi in this rohe. But perhaps its treaty settlements present a new way forward to prosperity. The Ngaruahine settlement includes a Crown apology, $67.5 million, and the option to buy nine sites of significance in its rohe. We all have a stake in this settlement. It offers an opportunity for future generations here and abroad. The Te Atiawa settlement includes a Crown apology, $87 million, and the option to buy 51 sites of significance in its rohe. We're now able to turn dreams into reality - that's the important factor. Our dealings with the Crown are completed, we now embark on our journey of self-determination. The Taranaki settlement includes a Crown apology, $70 million, and provision for Taranaki iwi to participate in local government. We have secured a significant settlement package for whanau. I believe very few were not supportive of the deal, but we need to be strong and come together. These are tribes now on the road to prosperity, under the shadow of their revered mountain. Yvonne Tahana, Te Karere. A mix of jubilation and frustration tonight in the South Island settlement of Goose Bay. 35 residents have been evacuated from their properties south of Kaikoura since a dam formed due to a slip caused by the earthquake. 12 homeowners were told at a meeting with Civil Defence last night they can return but 23 homes are still considered under threat from a potential breach. Goose Bay is also the location where the Kaikoura Runanga and locals rallied to save paua affected by the quake. Residents will have to wait for another week until another update is given. After the break, a perfect start for our women's sevens team at Dubai. The Maori female cricketer who's just scored a scholarship. It's three from three for our NZ Sevens Black Ferns in the opening round IRB world series tournament in Dubai. Our girls beat Ireland, Fiji and France convincingly to sit at the top of their table but it has come at a loss. Shakira Baker, Niall Williams and Tenika Willison all falling to injury but new coach Allan Buntin is pleased with the team's performance given the short time they have had together. They will play South Africa tonight in the quarter final but are not expecting their three injured players to be available. There is a big challenge ahead of this team. Kerry Tomlinson is a special and unique person. She's a Maori woman who plays representative cricket. And as Tamati Rimene-Sproat reports, Tomlinson has been the awarded the annual Kirikiti Aotearoa Scholarship, the first female to win the award. It's hard to come across a lady like Kerryanne Tomlinson from Ngati Porou and Te Whanau-a-Apanui who is paving her own path. Kerry Tomlinson is the winner of this year's Kirikiti Aotearoa Karahipi o Te Tohu Taakaro o Aotearoa Scholarship for her work in developing cricket in Maori communities. She started the first ever Maori women's cricket team in the north. She is their captain and coach and they are succeeding on the international stage. The goal now is to start more Maori women's cricket teams across the country and to grow the game among Maori communities as well. Tamati Rimene-Sproat, Te Karere. Now let's take a look at what Maori Programmes TVNZ has to offer over the weekend. This week on Marae. 10.30am Sunday TV One. After the break, And we have the weather. To the weather now. For weather, see tvnz.co.nz. Alice in Wonderland is an iconic novel that's been a hit with children for more than a century. With help from international funders, the Maori translation of the novel will soon be distributed to Maori schools throughout NZ. Children like young Piatarima will now be able to delve into the world of Alice in Wonderland, with a Maori twist. At a special ceremony at Waikato University's Te Kohinga Marama Marae, local students got a glimpse of what will soon be on the shelves of more than 200 kura kaupapa Maori libraries. The popular novel was originally written by English author Lewis Carroll. The society dedicated to Carroll gifted over US $2000 to ensure Maori schools received the Maori version of the tale, translated by Waikato University academic Tom Roa. For now, the youngsters will have to wait until their Maori Alice fix arrives in a week's time. Let's take another look at today's top stories. To close we end with the latest global social media craze - the Mannquin Challenge. Kapa Haka Tamatea Arikinui staged this scene at their noho at Rongomaraeroa Marae, Porangahau, and are challenging other kapa haka from Kahungunu to do the same. Captions were made possible with funding from Te Mangai Paho. Copyright TVNZ 2016.
