Te Hunga Rōia Māori o Aotearoa Hui-ā-Tau/ Annual Conference 3-5 September 2015, Copthorne Hotel & Resort, Waitangi E Tū ki te Kei o te Waka Stand at the Stern of the Canoe E tū ki te kei o te waka, kia pakia koe e ngā ngaru o te wā Stand at the stern of the canoe and feel the spray of the future biting at your face Dr Apirana Mahuika Programme & Registration Booklet Up to 11.5 CPD Hours Sponsored by: Proudly supported by: 0

From the THRMoA Tumuaki Tēnā koutou katoa E nga mana, e nga reo, e nga mataawaka puta noa i te motu, a, puta noa i te ao, nau mai, haere mai. Ko Te Hunga Rōia Māori o Aotearoa tēnei e mihi atu nei ki a kōutou kua anga mai ki tēnei pae tukutuku o mātou, me kii, o tātou katoa. On behalf of the Executive Committee for Te Hunga Rōia Māori o Aotearoa (THRMoA/the Māori Law Society) we invite you to join us for the 2015 annual conference at the Copthorne Hotel & Resort in Waitangi. We pay homage to the late Dr Apirana Mahuika (Ngāti Porou) with the overarching theme of this year s Conference: E Tū ki te Kei o te Waka Stand at the Stern of the Canoe, which is based on a whakataukī he gifted to the New Zealand Police (E tū ki te kei o te waka, kia pakia koe e ngā ngaru o te wā Stand at the stern of the canoe and feel the spray of the future biting at your face). Standing at the stern allows us to foresee potential obstacles amidst the waters ahead and steer our waka accordingly. In this sense, Māori lawyers working intelligently and collaboratively can build on THRMoA s mantra Mā te Ture, Mō te Iwi and lead the charge in bringing Māori legal issues to the fore, not just nationally, but globally. It is our belief that as Māori lawyers we must stand at the stern to navigate the path ahead for not only iwi Māori but for Aotearoa, our home. Dr Apirana Mahuika (Ngāti Porou) Revered Māori leader, Treaty of Waitangi Scholar, and Anglican Minister. Māori Development Minister Te Ururoa Flavell described him as a man who exuded rangatiratanga and was unrelenting in his promotion and protection of all Ngāti Porou taonga We also commemorate the 175 th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, so there will be a considerable focus on how the evolution of the Māori legal profession has been, and will continue to be, influenced by Te Tiriti, having particular regard to the following sub-themes: (a) (b) (c) Te Tiriti o Waitangi; Hauora; and Whakawhanaungatanga. The vibrant programme offers approximately 11.5 CPD hours on a variety of topics that encompass these sub-themes, and showcases an exceptional line up of speakers which includes some of the greatest legal minds in Aotearoa. This is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone working in all areas relevant to Māori to network, engage, be inspired, and gain valuable CPD hours in the process. As a not for profit organisation we have to acknowledge our sponsors who have made this Conference possible, in particular our Toto Weka sponsors: Chapman Tripp; Westpac; Deloitte; and AUT Law School. This year s Conference is open to both members of THRMoA and nonmembers. We encourage you all to register early for what will be an exciting and dynamic Conference.
