Inmy opinion, themost amicableandconstructiveIwiChairsForumof thepastfiveyearswasheldatŌnukuMarae on the weekend ofMay8-9.Themanaakiof thehaukāinga was exceptional and thecomments from the Iwi leaderswere consistently about thewarmth of the marae, the beautyof Ōnuku, and the generosity ofthepeople.AsIsaidattheendof

proceedings,Ōnukuandthesuccessofthehuiwillberemembered and talked about around the nation. SoagainIextendmythankstoallthosewhocontributedtotheweekend,includingtheFridaynightfunctiononthe7thattheRobertMcDougallGallerywhichIwillrefertoinamoment.

First however, an update on the business issuesthat were discussed by the Iwi Chairs. Therewere anumber of unanimous resolutions passed throughouttheweekend.Importantly,thechairswereofthesamemind on the current state of the the government’sproposedforeshoreandseabedframework.Theirview,

likethatofNgāiTahu,wastheframeworkasitstandsis inadequateandmustbe improved to recognise iwi,hapūandwhānaumanaandtikanga.Ourviewswerealsosimilarontheissueofwaterandagooddiscussionwas had around our future positions as part of anygreaterdebateonownership.Other topics covered included Whānau Ora, public-private-iwipartnershipsandkotahitanga–howiwicanworkbettertogethertoachievemutualoutcomes.It ismy view that the iwiChairsForum is becomingmorecohesive and gaining momentum. All who attendedwereveryclearonthemandateof theforumbeingtofacilitate discussion, particularly between the Crownandiwi,butthatthedecisionmakingprocessesbelongsbackwithtribalauthorities.On the Friday night before the forum, the scene forthe weekend activities was set at Te Hokinga Maiour exhibition at the Robert McDougall Gallery inChristchurch.IwaspleasedtowelcometheMinisterofMāoriAffairs,HonDrPitaSharples,whospoketotheIwileaderspresentaboutthefutureeconomicdirectionforMāoriandtheworkofhistaskforce.

aumatua John Manuel is enjoying having more money in his pocket to go fishing – one of his favourite past times - now that he’s

been Auahi Kore (Smokefree) for more than a year.“I’ve been able to save money and, because I used to be broke, I’ve been able to go away fishing more. I’m spending money on something I want to do.”The 70-year -old, a Kaumatua at Te Whare Roimata in Gloucester St, Christchurch, is also appreciating having enough spare cash to buy treats for his mokopuna after quitting his 30 to 40 a day habit.After smoking for 54 years, John decided to quit last year after having a heart attack and says he has since noticed a huge improvement in his health. He is no longer short of breath, which allows him to take his dog for a walk, and a persistent cough has disappeared.“The dog used to take me for a walk. Now I take him for a walk and we walk a lot further and walk a lot faster.”Monday 31 May is World Smokefree Day and the theme of this year’s celebration is ‘give quitting a go – you can do it!’ (Me Mutu – kia kaha!). It also focuses on the importance of whanau supporting those who want to quit.Tobacco smoking is still the leading cause of

preventable death in Canterbury. Almost 19% of people still smoke in the region but that figure rises to 41% among Maori.Quitting smoking is the single best thing people can do for their health as it can lead to a raft of health problems including heart disease, lung problem, cancer and decreased fertility. It is an expensive habit, with someone who smokes 20 cigarettes a day spending about $5500 a year.Research shows that 70% of people who smoke want to quit and support from whanau is an important tool during the quitting process. According to evidence, people who use Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), such as patches and gum, and join a quit

smoking programme that offers one-on-one support are more likely to be successful in their attempt.John says the support of his whanau was crucial when he was quitting smoking. “Stopping smoking is hard. A lot has got to do with your immediate family...you need a lot of support from them.”He also joined the Aukati Kaipaipa quit smoking programme where he was given one-on-one quitting advice. Although he tried patches and gum to try to ease cravings, he found sugar-free chewing gum worked better for him.Although he still has cravings every now and then, John is determined he’ll never go back to smoking now that he’s been Auahi Kore for so long.“For my 70th I went to the pub with the kids and I was hanging on to a pack of cigarettes but never once did I go out for a smoke. You get it in your brain: I have gone this far. Now there’s no looking back.”

• Quit smoking services include Aukati Kaipaipa for Maori women and their whanau (0800 425 700); Quitline (0800 778 778) and Smokechange for pregnant women and their partners on 03 379 9947. The PEGS programme is also available through General Practices.
