Manaakitanga remains important for Ngāti Korokī Kahukura as kaitiaki of the Karāpiro Valley.
Lake Karāpiro is a famous sports park where world-class competitions take place and champions compete, but few would know about the hurt and pain its construction caused. Lawrence Gullery reports. On a warm summer morning, teams of young rowers speed across the surface of Lake Karāpiro, preparing to become the sport’s next international champions. Most are oblivious that below the surface of the lake lie some of the most sacred places and memories for iwi, in particular Ngāti Hauā and Ngāti Korokī Kahukura.

About James Chapman
Elite rower James Chapman was part of the senior Australian Rowing Team for more than 15 years, representing Australia at 15 World Rowing Cups, seven World Rowing Championships and the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympic Games.
Born in New South Wales, Chapman started his career rowing out of Sydney Rowing Club, UTS Rowing Club and Mosman Rowing Club with the support of the New South Wales Institute of Sport and the Australian Institute of Sport.
Chapman was first selected to compete for his country in the men’s VIII who took the silver medal at the under 23 World Championships in Copenhagen in 2000.
By Stuart Martel TOM RANSLEY will not rest until he has a World Rowing Championships gold medal around his neck. The York City Rowing Club star and his Great Britain eight crew mates are throwing themselves into training ahead of next month’s contest in Slovenia. Driving them on is the knowledge that they have been forced to play second fiddle to the Germans for the past year. The World Championships in Bled, which run from August 28 to September 4, provide the GB eight with one last chance to lay down a marker ahead of the London 2012 Olympics. Since finishing second to Germany in the 2010 World Championship final in New Zealand, GB were again edged into second in the opening World Cup race in Munich.
