Yeah, and apologies to kaweka for hijacking his thread
I've recently heard that Tuhoe have no intention to replace the huts and if they do it won't be for general public. Time will tell...
For those who are affected by this, or anyone just wanting to voice their concern, there is a protest outside the office at Taneatua tomorrow 10-1
Organised by local hapu amd other affected parties.
OK???? so I have no idea what Ive been lumped into....and how is it that maddoghunter has only 1 post showing????
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

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.
Did anyone hear Poto Williams on ZB today, omg makes my blood boil.
All huts will be replaced she reckons. Great tui ad I’m thinking.
Heard poto on radio this afternoon,wouldn’t give yes or no answer ,just swerved all the questions..typical political dribble.
The potato “interview “ was a waste of oxygen, despite HDPA doing her best to get straight answers. Potato accused HDPA of lying “no huts have been burnt down, that’s a lie. They have been dismantled and taken away” according to minister responsible for DOC. Disgusting
Pretty sure I was at one of those huts last year. My boy recognised the hut clearing on the news.
Such a shame all that history is gone. Many folks would have made good use of those huts over the years regardless of who they were.
They were our property as kiwis.
The potato interview with hdpa showed potato’s complete and total incompetence.
Those huts will never be replaced.
The photos look like they were torched not dismantled as potato claimed….I suspect they just flew from site to site and lit them up. Really sad all that history is lost.
I messaged POTO on FB, commented on a post she had up. I Attached some photos of the burnt out huts, that must have hit a nerve because she messaged me back saying that all huts will be replaced. Nek minute the post gets deleted
I wonder why they didnt start building the new huts (using the old "network" as a bases) before bowling the old ones, makes no sense at any level . . .
I would imagine the plan is to get DoC to fund the new huts. A lack of existing huts would put pressure on DoC to comply. Of course all the light shone on what's happening will now put an interesting political perspective on things i.e. if DoC do fund new huts it will look bad for Labour on a whole bunch of levels.
I don’t know what they have planned, but I can guarantee it will be all about Tuhoe reconnecting with the land.
After that it will be about Tuhoe having employment.
Then it’ll be about other kiwis.
I’m not actually against that thinking.
They obviously have a problem with things like crime, drugs and gangs.
If this is a way of them improving themselves then maybe it’ll work out for everyone.
Worth a listen ......

Would it not have made better sense to take 2 to 3 years to do the "consultation" and design the new huts before burning or demolishing the old ones. I feel pretty confident that the huts would have stood for that long and provided emergency shelter should it have been needed. Any port in a storm ! A patch of scorched earth is no good to man or beast.
They say "dismantled" and "decommissioned", we say "burnt down". One nation divided by 2 languages. Face it, Te Urewera is from now on for Tuhoe. They have a different attitude to conservation (cultural harvesting?) and management of natural landscapes to pakeha. This is our future.
My guess considering the talk of 'cultural experience' etc is that the huts will be replaced with big flash ones like on the Great Walks and the whole show will be turned into a big tourist facility modelled on Doc's Great Walks
It also seems as though he wants to round up visitors and offer them a genuine experience of being a fleeced tourist.
