Subject: Conference set to increase Maori potential in forestry



The Futures Forestry Finance Conference has been touted as the most
important event of the year for Maori in forestry.



"The opportunity for Maori trustees to learn from international forestry
market experts and to get alongside senior managers from other forest
producers and financiers only comes around once every two years, " says FIEA
director John Stulen.



The Forestry Industry Engineering Association has specifically focused on
accommodating for Maori authorities and businesses to connect with key
industry leaders at their upcoming conference in March from the 7th to 8th
at the Crowne Plaza in Auckland.



"We've had excellent feedback from trustees attending previous conferences
in this series. So we've responded by adding more sessions of direct
relevance to increasing Maori participation in forest management and the
business outcomes as a result.  Aside from hearing the speeches, trustees
can gain a lot from the networking with these senior managers in the
business."



Jacob Kajavala (Ngati Ruapani, Tuhoe, Ngati Kahungunu), one of the keynote
speakers, says the conference couldn't have come at a better time given the
imminent possibilities for Maori to capitalize on the industry's growth.
Jacob says their participation is key to NZ's forestry future.



"The values we hold as Maori make us ideal partners to the NZ forest
industry. The long term view of our people and our land is perfectly aligned
with the long term nature of forest investment."



The current climate supports the need for Maori forestry networks to connect
with key players. Statistics show that whilst Maori own an increasing
portion of forestry lands, there is a real need to address the lack of
interest in forestry production and management.



"The gap that is yet to be effectively addressed is one of clear, cohesive &
courageous direction. We have all the skills from frontline operations
through to strategic, financial and business leadership. Our challenge is to
create a crisp, nimble and focused body that will direct and unify our
strategies."

Being Pkeh can be an ethnic and cultural identity, as well as an
understanding in a Treaty context. As a word with a history, Pkeh was used
in the Declaration of Independence 1835 and te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840,
and as a word, could be said to have gone into disrepute as a result of the
process of colonisation, and breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.
Adopting the name Pkeh can be a signal of belonging here and not somewhere
else, and also as being a commitment. Rather than framed in the negative as
non-Mori, Pkeh is framed in the positive.
If we wish to build cultural competence, including to be able to have robust
conversations about New Zealands future, it is useful to understand where
we are. This also serves as good opportunity for reflection in the week
before Waitangi Day- Monday 6th February.
 Do we see diversity as a positive value?
 What is the first language spoken in our homes?
 Do we value te reo Mori?
 How does the 'we' vary by age, gender, ethnicity and geography in New
Zealand?
These questions and more will be explored in this session with a
presentation from Kate Terry, Director Client Services Media NZ and Anca
Cernic from the Nielsen Company. The cultural perspectives available through
Nielsens Consumer and Media Insights database represent five years of data
from face to face interviews with a diverse range of New Zealanders. The
nature of the database means the different responses can be distinguished,
explored and discussed by age, gender, ethnicity, geography (and a myriad of
other variables).

When: 6-7:30pm Thursday 2nd February
Where: Whare wananga, Level 2, Central City Library, 44-46 Lorne St,
Auckland CBD (For a google map, click here)

The session will be introduced by Carl Chenery- sustainability strategist
and Citizen of Auckland. Carl is a Pkeh New Zealander of English, Irish,
Scottish and French descent.
Hosted in association with the Treaty Resource Centre, and the Tmaki Treaty
Workers.

In attending, participants will be asked to consider what steps they would
like to take themselves in the year ahead.
