Podcasts about tangata

With Dr Thom and The Professor busy prepping for their upcoming expeditions offshore, we had time to squeeze out one more episode before they set sail. We caught up with the legendary Di Tracey from NIWA to talk all things deep-water corals. How they live, what makes them different from their shallow water relatives, and how they are adapted to life in the deep dark ocean. Di's long career in deep-sea ecology is also intertwined with her extensive work in making the marine sciences a better place for women to work. She talks us through what it was like to begin her career offshore, often being the only woman on board, and how she helped change the industry for the better.  In the news this week we have a few exciting new updates. We can indeed confirm that as of our last episode where we spoke about the vulnerability of subsea cables, there were multiple apparent attacks and cables were cut. We can only assume that hostile nations do indeed listen to the deep-sea podcast (thanks for subscribing!). Andrew is back from his stint offshore and he is chock-full of stories for us. Brand new dragonfish species, near-misses with box jellyfish and also some cookie-cutter sharks. It's all happening!   We're really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast.

Earlier this week, the nine-day trek that was Hīkoi mō te Tiriti made it to its final destination, the grounds of Parliament.  The hīkoi was in response to a myriad of policies from the National, ACT, and NZ First coalition government regarding Māori and te Tiriti o Waitangi, including the ACT Party's highly controversial Treaty Principles Bill, and sought to highlight how te Tiriti unites Aotearoa through kotahitanga.  Producer Sofia spoke to renowned Māori activist and artist, Tāme Iti, about the overall energy on the hīkoi, the support for its kaupapa, and the message he thinks it sent to the coalition.  Wire Hosts Caeden and Castor were at the hīkoi in Te Whanganui-a-Tara on Tuesday. They spoke to Tangata Whenua, Tangata Moana, and Tangata Tiriti about why they were there, also asking protestors if they had a message for ACT leader David Seymour, who brought the Bill to Parliament.

This week we're jumping out of series for Labour Weekend with Aidan Wivell bringing us a message titled: Just Rest. Preaching out of Deuteronomy 5:12-15, this Labour Weekend as we remember the history of the 8-hour working day, we explore the Biblical practice of Sabbath, which thousands of years earlier placed limits on work and protected space for rest. We'll look at Sabbath though the Māori framework of Atua, Tangata, and Whenua, and see how Sabbath is an act of justice which creates space, not just for us, but for others and for God's creation.

Sociologist Avril Bell says her new book Becoming Tangata Tiriti is a book of lessons learned. It brings together the voices of twelve non-Maori who have attempted to bring te Tiriti to life in their work and includes stories of missteps, victories, and traversing through the complexities of cross-cultural relationships. Avril Bell hopes Becoming Tangata Tiriti will act as a guide for people starting on their journey towards a Tiriti-based society.

The Budget 2024 has a notable lack of funding for Māori development and cuts to Māori housing. In response, Te Kāhui Tangata, the Human Rights Commission, has urged the government to commit to te Tiriti o Waitangi.  Producer Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Tatau-Urutahi, shared leader at the Commission, Julia Whaipooti, about whether the Budget upholds te Tiriti and what it says about the government's values. She started the interview asking her what parts of the Budget concerned her.

Tangata whenua are taking to the streets Tuesday morning to protest against what they see as a change of attitude from the new Government- which they describe as "anti-Māori" The coalition agreement includes removing te reo from the names of government departments, a review of all legislation that includes Treaty principles, and abolishing the Māori Health Authority. But Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the government is just getting started, and they are committed to positive outcomes for Māori. Minister for Māori Development Tama Potaka spoke to Corin Dann.

Tangata whenua are protesting across 20 centres Tuesday morning in a National Action Day with the backing of Te Pāti Māori. They plan to disrupt traffic in multiple locations and are calling for the new government to honour Te Tiriti, respect the Māori language, keep the Māori Health Authority and ensure a smoke free New Zealand. Lady Tureiti Moxon is taking part in the action in Hamilton.  She says she's angry about plans to remove te reo from the names of government departments, abolish the Māori Health Authority and review of all legislation that includes Treaty principles. All of which she says are anti-Māori. Moxon spoke to Corin Dann.

Te Kāhui Tika Tangata Human Rights Commission has released a statement calling for the respect and dignity of all to be upheld when discussing important issues in Aotearoa, particularly in regards to the election. The statement condemns the use of race-baiting, or using race as a political football, and urges New Zealanders to look out for our most vulnerable people at this time.     Rosetta spoke to Saunomali'i Karanina Sumeo, Acting Race Relations Commissioner at Te Kāhui Tika Tangata about the statement, and what more needs to be done to hold individuals accountable for race baiting and spreading harmful rhetoric.

A very special guest host this week, Sezzo: kōtare/kingfisher turned proud Ngāpuhi DJ, writer, curator, and medical student. She stepped on to the mic bringing with her a profound and loving dialogue with her kin Grayson and Hāmiora visiting from Aotearoa for World Pride. Their conversation spanned questions like "what is World Pride on stolen land?" and delved into First Peoples solidarities, the unique challenges and gifts of Takatāpui experiences, decolonial connections and cosmologies and what it is to be visitors on stolen land, and queer Māori futures. So much richness, tears and laughter in this dialogue, we are deeply honored to have been able to share Race Matters with them.  Image: An artwork from Te Timatanga curated by Hāmiora for Auckland Pride. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean to be Tangata Tiriti? What is the difference between the Treaty and Te Tiriti? How can immigrants engage with Te Tiriti? Mika and Rachel chat with Etienne Wain, a Ph.D. student and law tutor here at Te Herenga Waka. Etienne's Ph.D. considers what rights and responsibilities are associated with being Tangata Tiriti/People of the Treaty. Definitions Tangata whenua: people of the whenua (land), people with an ancestral connection to the whenua of Aotearoa. The use of this term overlaps with the use of the term “Māori”. Tangata Tiriti: people of the Treaty; people who are living in Aotearoa because of Te Tiriti, i.e., all tauiwi. Tauiwi: migrants, settlers, people who have come here from somewhere else. Refers to both tauiwi of colour and Pākehā. Tino rangatiratanga: Māori self-determination, involving being in control of one's own destiny or the destiny of the collective group one belongs to. Linked to the concept of mana and sometimes compared with sovereignty. (Please note that these are Etienne's own definitions, compiled for this episode, and are not authoritative definitions. Others, especially tangata whenua, will have more authority to define these terms.)

New data from Centrix shows that 400,000 people ended last year behind on paying their bills. The number of people in debt from missed home loan payments and household bills has gone up by 10 percent from 2021. However, as more people go into debt, charities designed to help low-income Kiwis back on their feet are expecting to lose Government funding by June. Nga Tangata Microfinance chief executive Natalie Vincent says that she's noticed an increase in people needing their services over the last few months.  "What's been alarming to us looking at those figures is the increase in people who are applying for new consumer finance, like personal loans or credit cards, to get them through this time of high cost of living."

Māori leaders say Jacinda Ardern will leave a lasting legacy for tangata whenua, including health reforms, better representation, a Matariki public holiday and the teaching of the country's history.    But there is also frustration among some sectors about the pace of reform, criticism of Crown overreach into Māori affairs and scorn at continued inequities.    Ella Stewart has more.

Jonathan West reviews Tangata Ngai Tahu Vol 2, from the Ngai Tahu Archive Team, published by BWB

The Government will on Monday consider the next steps in developing a plan for Aotearoa to realise its international obligations around Māori self-determination.Māori Development Minister Willie Jackson will take a paper to a Cabinet committee with feedback from Māori on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and seeking approval start drafting a plan.It comes as the Act Party launches a campaign to have issues around co-governance - which would cover the role of the Declaration - put to a referendum, so the public can also decide what the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi should be.Last year Jackson launched a consultation process around implementing the Declaration, starting with Māori leaders and organisations.Following Cabinet sign-off, likely by April 5, work will begin work on a draft Declaration plan, scheduled to be released for consultation from June, with the aim of having a final plan signed off by the end of the year.Part of the consultation included discussions around the document He Puapua, produced in 2019 to advise how New Zealand could realise its commitments under the Declaration.The document included a roadmap to 2040 by which time it envisages various co-governance and Māori-run arrangements to address the huge inequities currently facing Māori.Māori Development Minister Willie Jackson. Photo / Mark MitchellThese include a separate Māori Parliament or upper house, health and justice systems, further return of Māori assets including foreshore and seabed, and recognition of cultural rights and equity.The document became a hot political topic in 2021, forcing the Government to rule out certain aspects like a separate Parliament.Jackson said it had been a good consultation process so far, but he wanted to reiterate the plan was "non-binding"."Despite what the other side says, that this will create a race riot, the feedback has been good. There have been some extreme views, but that's fine, it is a consultation process."I'm sure we will get some extreme views in the Pākehā process."But our job is simply to collate different views about what the Declaration should mean here, and get that into a document and make some decisions about how we commit to the charter."Jackson said the main feedback from Māori was around equity, in all aspects of life."Others want to totally replace the system, I've never been into that. I'd rather us be in the jobs themselves. We have five Māori ministers in Cabinet."New Zealand signed up to the Declaration in 2010 through then-Māori Affairs Minister and Māori Party co-leader Pita Sharples, under a National-led Government.New Zealand is one of 148 countries that support the Declaration. Canada last year backed the Declaration with legislation and will have a plan in place by next year.If New Zealand enacts the plan by the end of this year, it will be the first country in the world to do so.Meanwhile, Act Party leader David Seymour has launched a campaign to have a referendum on co-governance, also proposing the next Government pass legislation defining the Treaty of Waitangi principles, meaning it would be part of any discussions with a National Government.Co-governance arrangements have been a part of Treaty settlements - such as those reached under National in Te Urewera and the Waikato and Whanganui rivers - and at local government level.Act leader David Seymour. Photo / Mark MitchellSeymour said Labour was taking this further and "trying to make New Zealand an unequal society on purpose"."It believes there are two types of New Zealanders. Tangata whenua, who are here by right, and Tangata Tiriti who are lucky to be here."Seymour, who launched the campaign in a speech this week to the Milford Rotary Club in Auckland, said a "Treaty Principles Act" would be short but decisive, and prevail over any other determinations around the Treaty.Seymour said this would see New Zealand assert itself as a "multi-ethnic,...

The ACT party is calling for a referendum on co-governance saying the country is abandoning liberal democracy and replacing it with an "ethno state" where there are two types or people. Tangata whenua, here by right, and tangata tiriti, here by the grace of whatever the courts and the Waitangi Tribunal think the Treaty means. In a speech to the Milford Rotary Club yesterday David Seymour said a referendum is a bottom line in any coalition talks after next year's election. David Seymour has declined Morning Report's offer to speak to him. Former National MP Chris Finlayson, who negotiated the co-governance model with ACT Party leader Rodney Hide, spoke to Guyon Espiner.

The ACT party is calling for a referendum on co-governance. It says the country is abandoning liberal democracy and replacing it with an "ethno state" where there are two types of people: Tangata whenua, here by right, and tangata / tiriti, here by the grace of whatever the courts and the Waitangi Tribunal think the Treaty means. In a speech to the Milford Rotary Club yesterday he said "over the past forty years there has been a quiet shift in the way that the Treaty is interpreted". He says the problem is that "this shift is transforming our constitutional underpinnings, but has never been subject to public debate". Citing Three waters, the health reforms and He Puapua, Seymour says we are now seeking to create division. David Seymour says a referendum is a bottom-line in any coalition talks after next year's election. Seymour has declined Morning Report's offer to speak to him.

Had a nice chat with three of the police manning the roadblock at Uretiti this morning. One was up from Nelson, another from Wellington and one was from Whangarei. Standing in the rain in the middle of the night, but still cheery and positive, even though it's a job no-one really wanted. It was nice to meet you guys, as I said to them, they're keeping the peace and that's part of the job. If police hadn't gone along with this, we'd have had chaos and confrontation and no one needs that. Coincidentally, it's the one-year anniversary of that shonky Ihumātao deal and you might see a connection between the two. Ihumātao was a piece of privately-owned land, bought by Fletchers for a housing development. Tangata whenua objected, occupied, and eventually got their way, forcing the Government to buy it. Taxpayers shelled out $30 million, with the promise there'd be some housing there, but of course a year on, what's happened? Not a thing. The Housing Minister says there was never any promise it would be a fast process to get houses built on the site. The message from the whole Ihumātao debacle was that if you stick to your line for long enough and occupy, illegally, you'll get your way. And that message has emboldened those who forced these roadblocks in the North. The police didn't want to do it and still don't want to be there. But the alternative would have been an illegal, and most likely very ugly obstruction, confrontations, without a doubt. So, to keep the peace, the Government bends over. And what message does that send? 

The head of a Māori health provider in Lower Hutt fears vaccine hesitancy among tāngata whenua is leaving the community vulnerable in the event of a Covid-19 outbreak.

Naomi Nicholas works for Karuwhā Trust.  She is part of helping facilitate learning and understanding about Te Tiriti o Waitangi, a.k.a. the Treaty of Waitangi, particularly amongst non-Māori. For those of you overseas and unfamiliar with it, Te Tiriti is the treaty that was signed between the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the British Crown in 1840.  It is also a treaty that was then repeatedly breached by the colonisers, resulting in much pain and loss for Māori.  Yet, understood well it is a great platform from which to work towards reconciliation and even justice.  Naomi shares about what she does in her role, what she notices about the revelations people have on their journeys, how non-Maori can appropriately learn the true history of this nation without simply consuming and taking all over again, and what hope she sees for the future of this country.

Iwi and Hapū in Te Tai Tokerau are stunned by proposals which could restrict how they use their land and plan to march on the Far North District Council next week.   Up to 40 percent of land in the Far North may be reclassified as Significant Natural Areas to protect the high number of native plants and animals there.  Tangata whenua are furious they weren't told sooner - and say it undermines their role as kaitiaki or guardians of their land. Down in Wellington, Ministers are urging the council to hold off.  Meriana Johnsen has this report.

Coming up on Te Waonui - A former member of the immunisation advisory group quits after feeling unheard, the first Māori judge with a moko kauae is appointed to the district court, whanau are still trying to convince their own that the vaccine is safe and a study says Tangata whenua are 56 per cent more likely to die in the month after trauma than non-Māori.

Glaring inequities for Maori hospitalised with life-threatening trauma have been unearthed by a new study. It's the first time the Health Quality and Safety Commission has examined whether critically injured Maori have the same survival rates as non-Maori. The findings are unequivocal - inequity exists. Tangata whenua are 56 percent more likely to die in the month after the trauma - excluding brain injuries - than non-Maori And Maori aged 15 - 18 are three times more likely to die. Dr Dick Ongley from the Commission told Meriana Johnsen questions need to be asked of DHBs.
