Turanganui a Kiwa to sign AIP
Turanganui-a-Kiwa will tomorrow sign their Agreement in Principle with a claim settlement timeframe of two years in mind.
The iwi whakapapa to Te Toka a Taiau, is the first landing place of Captain Cook's Endeavour in Gisborne.
The Agreement in Principle will represent Rongowhakaata, Ngai Tamanuhiri and Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki and areas of significance will be researched in the two years following the signing.
Maori Affairs Minister, Parekura Horomia says the claim has been going for a long time.
"The Turanganui a Kiwa claim was to be the model of accelerating claim process. Chief Judge Joe Williams really led with that and got to a stage where we have been negotiating with them for the last three years and certainly they've been positioned and tomorrow we go to Mangatu to encourage them to finalise things," says Mr Horomia, who will take part in tomorrow's signing.
HENARE CLAIMS CREDIT FOR CLAIMS DEADLINE
National MP Tau Henare believes his party should take credit for the speed Treaty of Waitangi claims are being dealt with.
The government have announced next Monday as the cut-off date for the lodging of all historical treaty claims.
Mr Henare says in the nine years Labour has been in power the only real progress has been noted in the past 12 months.
He says now the end of Treaty claims is in sight.
"I think if it hadn't been for the pressure put on by our side, things would have been meandering on. The government needed a bit of a kick up its backside in terms of its processes. we've certainly seen a rush of agreements in principle and I think it's a good idea that people get focused on a date in terms of the furnishing of a claim. The issue is, get the claims in, get them sorted, so we can move on," Mr Henare says.
He says the huge interest in the lodgement of claims shows Maori are able to work with the deadline.
CHEF HAS THE RECIPE FOR CANCER SUFFERERS
It's the New Zealand Cancer Society's daffodil day tomorrow, and one of the most popular Maori chefs in the country says her new cookbook is aimed at people who are battling the disease.
Anne Thorp is the host of Kaiora, a food show on Maori TV that features sumptuous meals using traditional and easily accessible Maori kai.
She says as a 10 year survivor of breast cancer, and having completed 3 series of her popular cooking show , she didn't hesitate when asked to write a cookbook for people dealing with the disease.
"Eating healthy is one of the major ways of getting better through any disease. My book is co-written and endorsed by Trevor Smith who is a leading New Zealand cancer and breast cancer expert and he'll be putting his two cents in for both of us to create a fabulous cookbook," Ms Thorpe says.
She's still gathering recipes for the yet to be named cookbook due out by mothers day next year.
MAORI AT RISK FROM TASER POLICY
Former Green MP Nandor Tanczos says young Maori men will be those most detrimentally affected by the Police decision to arm officers with tasers.
Police commissioner Howard Broad has announced that the Police are pressing ahead with plans to reintroduce 32 Tasers in the three Auckland districts and Wellington this year and throughout the country next year.
Mr Tanczos says while there is an argument for non lethal options to guns this avoids the fact that people like Steve Wallace in Waitara did not need to be shot in the first place.
"You go through the justice system top to bottom, and young brown men, particularly young Maori men, tend to be treated more harshly by the system - more likely to be stopped by police, more likely to be searched by police, more likely to be arrested is there's anything going on, likely to get a harsher sentence and certainly add Tasers into that equation and there's no doubt in my mind that primarily who's going to be Tasered is young Maori men," he says.
Mr Tancos says there is no effective sanction on Police if they breach the guidelines for using Tansers so there will be nothing to stop the Police randomly using Tasers.
HENARE ATTACKS TRUSTEE PLAN AGAIN
National MP Tau Henare is continuing to accuse the Government of theft with its plans to use $35 million from the Maori Trustee to set up a fund for Maori economic development.
In parliament yesterday Mr Henare attacked the government for the planned move and continued the criticism on Radio Waatea this morning.
He says the Crown Law Office has said the money legally belongs to the Maori Trustee but the government still wants to take it from Trustee beneficiaries and use it for other purposes.
"Now the idea may be nice about Maori economic development in that you would find no one to stand in the way of Maori economic development but it's the way you go about it, and you shouldn't be able to go about stealing other people's money, because that's exactly what this is," Mr Henare says.
NEW FOOD SERIES BY CANCER SURVIVOR
Maori celebrity chef Anne Thorpe wants Maori battling disease to eat better.
Anne Thorpe a 10 year survivor of cancer says an improved diet played a big part in her recovery.

The Pakiri beach based chef says her next series will show how food can help people recover from illness.
"The kai that I'll be focusing on is for all those people that have got diabetes and cancer and heart disease, who are overweight, such as myself, which are all prevalent conditions in Maori and of course for all of those who enjoy happy and healthy lifestyles," Ms Thorpe says.
The iwi whakapapa to Te Toka a Taiau, is the first landing place of Captain Cook's Endeavour in Gisborne.
