Tā Tipene O'Regan is calling on Southlanders to start thinking nationally for the benefit of Murihiku.
Speaking on the subject of regenerating the region as part of the Ngāi Tahu Treaty Festival on Saturday, O’Regan said Southlanders, and New Zealand as a whole, were facing a once-in-many-generations opportunity to reset the way it handled energy.
He was referring to the future of the Manapōuri Hydro Station when the New Zealand Aluminium Smelter at Tiwai Point - the biggest user of its power - inevitably stopped manufacturing activities.
In October 2020, Ngāi Tahu officially activated its partnership with the Crown, under the Treaty of Waitangi, to ensure the economic, social, cultural and environmental values were upheld in Southland’s transition.
