Te Paati Māori rises to support this motion to mark the 10th anniversary of the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes, and to acknowledge the people of Ōtautahi, along with the hundreds of volunteers, the emergency services, and the selfless public. We acknowledge the mana whenua, Ngāi Tahu, Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Ngāti Irakehu, Ngāti Kuri, Ngāi Te Rua Hikihiki for leading the way in supporting the entire community in the aftermath of the earthquake, including Rehua Marae. This is yet another example of how mana whenua in the aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies set up and provide much-needed support for all its community and to fill gaps that Government and official responses have not yet provided for. It demonstrates what tangata whenua leadership can do for us all.
