With a tribute to Te Rarawa Kuia, Whaea DELL WIHONGI who just passed away. Her name is synonymous with WAI 262, a claim lodged with the Waitangi Tribunal to "Protect and preserve indigenous flora and fauna and associated cultural and intellectual heritage". Wai 262 was filed in 1991 on behalf of six claimant iwi by Dell, Saana Murray (Ngāti Kuri), Witi McMath (Ngāti Wai), John Hippolite (Ngāti Koata), Tama Poata (Te Whanau a Rua of Ngāti Porou), and Kataraina Rimene (Ngāti Kahungunu). Kingi shares many things that Dell had been doing for Maoridom. Dell will be taken back to Mangamuka.
NGAHIWI TOMOANA
A Commissioner and Senior Fisheries Negotiator, talks with Dale about what mechanisms are in place for selling of Fishing Quota. Ngahiwi says the process is that every other Iwi have first Option to buy before going to open market. Ngahiwi goes on to say how the process went about to give Rekohu, Chathams, their Deep-water Fishing quota and how disproportionate the size of quota for the Chathams was. Far higher than other Iwi and now he's surprised they now wish to sell.
