Thread: Te Urewera

I’ll take the kids down and let them know what I think .

Things are getting hot in the Urewera Country. As many have said they bet your everyday Tuhoe are not happy with TUT/DOC and the huts destruction/removal.

Hundreds gather in Tūhoe country to protest 'desecration' of back country huts https://www.stuff.co.nz/bay-of-plent...k-country-huts

So good to see that so many Tuhoe are on the same page as us.
That’s a better reflection of the people I’ve met in there.
Real down to earth people that just want to be left alone to do there thing.

Yeah, it seems Tut are calling all the shots and DOC are sitting back. Nothing was ever good to come out of this arrangement as soon as TUt got involved and seems to have the main say.
They are a disgrace. Nothing will surprice me if they replace the huts with some money making scheme which they charge the earth for .....the new Bush church in diguised lol.. wonder if Tamaiki is
on the board

Um, just my take on that, is there isn't much damage control work going on there.

Pretty much a snapshot of life here in NZ at the moment: Unelected officials chasing ethereal fantasy filled policies whilst the vast majority of practical just-leave-me-to-do-my-thing-as-long-as-it-doesn't-hurt-anyone-else folk get trampled upon.

was small bit of footage on one news tonight,just caught tail end of it.

This is just unbelievable, I am utterly disgusted , who could believe 20 years ago a thing could this could happen , maybe a bit off topic but this this and all the Māori language crap has just gone to the next level , saw a school certificate yesterday that the only non Māori word was his name , WTF is going on , this country is in a very bad state of affairs . The back country life is changing before our very eyes

I've just now got to this point in what I found to be an interesting thread.

Let's not get it taken down/nuked...

Next poster please chose your words carefully...

Does anyone know what huts have already been burned down😭😭

Just got back from long weekend hunting trip there. Right Branch, Casino and Takarua burned down Duckville still there. Beyond that not sure.

yeah who would have thought the most aggressive and fighty Iwi out there that are known for burning out trucks and threatening people wouldnt run things in a way that suits anyone but themselves

who could have seen this coming? oh wait everyone

All huts will be replaced she reckons. Great tui ad I’m thinking.
