Te Tuarongo

I whakaturia te Taraipiunara i te tau 1974, oti ake ka timata te whakarongo ki nga aweawe o te iwi Maori mo nga mahi he o te Karauna. Akene ka whakawhanuihia te kaupapa o te Taraipuinara hei te tau 1984 kia whakarongo ki nga ngawe no mua ra ano – mai i te hainatanga mai o te Tiriti. Ka ahua poturi haere te whakarongo ki nga kereme, tae noa ki te tau 1990 ka tipu mai te pirangi o te Kawanatanga kia oti te katoa o nga kereme (i roto i te kotahi piriona tara te kopaki). No reira ka ahua haere totika tae noa nei ki tenei wa, kua tata oti te katoa o nga kereme – a – iwi. Kati, he tokomaha noa nga kereme kai te toi, ka ata whakaarohia e te Taraipuinara kia whakaropuhia – a – kaupapa nga kereme. Ka timata nga kereme-kaupapa i te tau 2016 me te kereme a Ngati Tumatauenga, a hei te 2017 ka timata te kereme-kaupapa mo te Hauora. Ko ia tera ka huaina ko Wai2575 Health Services and Outcomes Kaupapa Inquiry.

 

Ka tata atu ki te rua rau kereme ka kohia, a ko Te ORA tetehi o nga kai-kereme. Ko nga ingoa o te taumata hei kawe i te mana o te kereme ko nga tiamana o Te ORA me nga rangatira, ara ratou ko Prof David Tipene Leach, Prof Papaarangi Reid, ko Prof Sir Mason Durie, ko Prof Joanne Baxter, ko Assoc Prof Sure Crengle, ko wai atu, ko wai atu – ara ko tatou.

 

In April 2015 the Waitangi Tribunal published its intention to hold Kaupapa Inquiries. “In the past, claimants with kaupapa grievances have been able to have them heard only under urgency or within the Tribunal’s district inquiry programme. From the 1990s, the Tribunal has prioritised the hearing of claims on a district basis in order to assist the Crown and claimants to achieve settlement of historical claims”.1
