Many among us have lost muchin recent weeks as the result ofthe Canterbury earthquake andaftershocks.Butoutofadversityourcommunityspirithasgrownstrongerand we continue tomarvel that noliveswerelostinthedisaster.

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu has also grown stronger,proving that people aremore important than buildingsandthatonatemporarybasiswecandrawtogetherourresourcesandrespondtothedisastereventhoughourown buildingwas not available. The businesses alsoshowed their flexibility, applying their own responseplanstokeepoperationsgoing.Ourwhānauandmaraewere just as quick in helping the community, giving ahandtoneighbours,andofferingmanaakitangatoall.

One of the more important messages I have seen inrecentdays is thatallwhānau in theearthquakezoneshouldnotgatherkai from localwaterways–streams,creeks, rivers, and the sea – because of sewage andpollutioncontamination.
