Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori 27 Hongongoi - 2 Here Turi Koka 2009, Maori Language Week 27 July - 2 August 2009.
Its maori language week and our recent hikoi to Te Ra o Maui Pomare at Owae Marae confirmed my 'learner' status for Te Reo Maori, I have since stumbled across an awesome website. www.korero.maori.nz Not all of you are in the same ‘waka’ as me but for those that need to brush up on the basics you should check it out, there’s also a facility to have an interactive conversation! I also hope you all have been keeping warm in what some have said has been the coldest winter ever! Uncle Paora & Aunty Tyne have arrived home after 5 weeks in Queensland!…..lucky, lucky things, but don’t fret! Koanga is not far away and I have included a spring recipe in this edition of our panui.

MATARIKI – CELEBRATING STARS IN KAPITI
Although not as well known as your average Hollywood celebrity, 10 people from Kapiti have been identified as Stars by members of Iwi Social Services, Youth Group –Taiohi (pictured)
The Stars have been recognized for their outstanding leadership qualities, dedication to Young People, and their service to the community.
“This was also an opportunity for our organisation to let the Youth Group take charge of the “black and white” formal event held at Whakarongotai Marae on 27th June” said Georgia Lewis, Manager for Iwi Social Services. “The event was very successful and proved that given а chance, Young people can do some pretty amazing things. That it was held during Matariki Season, was а bonus, and an opportune time for us to be the change we want to see in others”
From teen violence to alcohol and drug abuse, negative youth behaviour seems to be the focus in much of today’s media. In an effort to change the cynical perception of this younger generation, IwiSocial Services works to encourage all youth to believe in themselves and reach for their dreams.
“Choosing the Stars, was quite hard” says Amanda Swainson, Youth Leader for Taiohi. “But we think we managed to find 10 people who we are inspired by. Having а formal ball, meant that other young people who might not get а chance to go to one, could get dressed up and feel pretty special, even if it was for just one night”
Matariki is а time for growing and harvesting and our aim is to grow confident and respectful young people who will become tomorrow’s leaders. The recipients of the Awards were:
Kaumatua - Paora and Tyne Ropata, Mrs Shirley Edwin, Don and Pat Te Maipi, Tuki and Pauline Takiwa,
Mentors - Chris Laursen, Andy Fraser, Paora Trim,
Nic Auckett
Youth - Paige Bellamore, Jack MacDonald
The evening was well supported by four bands who specialised in music perfectly suited to Matariki and by а professional photographer who captured guests posing formally and in а casual setting. “If it wasn’t for funding from Te Puni Kokiri and the support of Vyletta Arago-Kemp, the event for Matariki would have been too expensive to hold – а huge thank you to them all” said Georgia Lewis.
TE TONO – IWI REPRESENTATIVE
Ko te amorangi ki mua, ko te hapai o ki muri.
An opportunity has opened for an Iwi representative on the Kapiti College Board of Trustees. Having followed in the footsteps of some amazing people who made a remarkable difference, I have been honored to hold this portfolio over the past few years ensuring that our tikanga has been upheld and that the disparity between mainstream education and our way of learning are working hand in hand. Why….because our mokopuna deserve the best. This is a tono for someone who is interested in the following:
· Sit at a governance level
· Networking and meeting a variety of business people, parents, teachers and whanau
· Work with a board who share the same vision for rangatahi and education today,
· Make a difference in the rohe ensuring that the Iwi have a say in educational matters
· Be involved in Kia Aio te Noho Tuarua, the college Marae, the kura, the kaiako, superb whanau support & akonga.
· Support & deliver positive outcomes for management, staff and akonga.
· Contribute and learn the mechanics of mainstream education
· Policy/procedures intact for effective learning

Speaking of kai see recipe below……only 3 weeks to go Koutou!
WHITEBAIT ON A POTATO AND SPINACH NEST
2 large potatoes 3 bunches spinach
¼ cup onion diced ¼ cup bacon chopped
100mls balsamic vinegar
2lts canola oil for deep frying
lemon wedges fresh coriander
1kg whitebait 50mls virgin olive oil
1tsp crushed garlic pinch of salt & pepper
STEP 1 – thinly slice the potato into strips, heat the canola oil to 180 degrees. Place the potato into a wire ladle and pat down with another to hold the shape of a nest. Carefully place into the hot canola oil and cook till golden brown. Remove potato nest from the ladle carefully and place on a paper handy towel to soak up remaining oil.
STEP 2 – wash the spinach and roughly tear the leaves into pieces. Heat some virgin olive oil in a pan, add the diced onion and chopped bacon. Cook out for 2 minutes. Then toss the spinach leaves and warm thru. Finally sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar and fold into the ingredients. Arrange onto a serving place, place the potato nests on top.
STEP 3 – heat olive oil in a pan and add the whitebait, toss, add the garlic with a little salt & pepper for seasoning. Cook for 1 minute, spoon into the potato nests, garnish with some lemon wedges and fresh coriander leaves.
I know your all thinking ‘aue’ what a lot of humbug to cook up whitebait, but it is ka pai to try it in another form apart from a fritter! Thanks to Kai Time on the road for this recipe.
Until next panui whanau! Would you like to see birthday calls? And or more whanau announcements included in Whakarongo ki te Tai? Let me know …..
