What do the 3 teams do?
Team 1; Whakapapa Research Team
That this group research those hapu and Marae that are named in the
Rangitane Mandating Document e.g. Ngati Hamua, Ngati Moe,
Team 2; Project Management Team
This group is largely involved with meeting the requirements of CFRT so
that we may obtain the funding
Also looking at the employing of a project manager project
Team 3; Mandating
This group has been focusing on getting the Mandate Strategy and the Trust
Deed signed off by the crown
Crown Forestry Rental Trust
The organisation that takes all unclaimed monies from
Maori forestry interests and invests it
The funds from the interest only are used to fund the
work needed to be done for Treaty claims by iwi
Only those iwi who have forestry interests are eligible
Because Ngamu forest is in our region of interest our Trust
qualifies.
Points of interest;
• The process will take 42 months but probably longer
• To get funding support the Trust needs to meet
certain milestones
• All systems must be robust
• Funding is not retrospective
• Funding is applied for in 6 phases
• Additional funding is also available for mapping and
research
Summary;
We have almost completed negotiating with CFRT to be
their client which means we can get funding for first phase
of the process - Getting the Mandate
We just need the Trustees to read over the contract and give
their tick of approval so that Ian can sign the contract.
At the moment we have our interim Lawyer looking over
our Mandate Strategy so that it can be signed by the crown.
Had our first meeting with Rangitane. The second meeting
had to be postponed but it should happen in the next
month or two.
With your help I hope to report to members of our claimant
community via the Papawai Marae email tree
