Introduction and Welcome.
Guests today are;
Roger Pikia: Strategist with Te Ahuwhenua, AgResearch working with the Māori farming pastoral sector to help make pastures healthier.
Dale talks with Roger about Land Ownership issues for the Central North Island, Crown Forests Lands such as the Kaiangaroa Estate that has ownership disputes for about twenty years. The government has been unable up to now, to get Iwi around the table for discussions. There are about nine Iwi involved with the Central North Island Forests ownerships and they are determined to achieve a settlement but it is very difficult to get consensus.
Grant Hawke: Chairman of the Ngāti Whatua o Orakei Trust Board.
Dale talks with Grant about the 1998 Bastion Point land return back to Ngāti Whatua and they talk about the significance to Māori with the protests, land occupation and eventual return of prime Auckland land.
