David Hanna is a fifth-generation Tangata Tiriti (people of the Treaty), a leader in community-led development, and the director of Wesley Community Action. This conversation delved into addiction, trauma, social systems, and how grassroots initiatives can bring about meaningful change.  David challenges us to rethink how we address addiction, not just as an individual issue but as a symptom of broader systemic challenges. We discussed: The Role of Compassion and Judgment in Leadership David shares insights into his leadership philosophy, emphasising the importance of working at multiple levels of the system—from community practitioners to government ministers. He highlights the necessity of compassion without judgment and the dangers of "othering" marginalised groups. Overcoming Bias A personal story about overcoming judgment that led to a discussion about unconscious bias, social conditioning, and the importance of openness and curiosity. The Real Cost of Systemic Issues Spending on negative investment—prisons, addiction treatment, and care systems—rather than proactive community support. He argues that a healed society would redirect resources toward arts, environmental restoration, and whānau well-being. Addiction: A Response to Trauma David reinforces the idea that addiction is often a coping mechanism for trauma. Highlighting the spectrum of addictions, from substance abuse to socially accepted addictions like workaholism.  Childhood adversity and the intergenerational impact of trauma. A Grassroots Solution: The Walk-In Initiative David shares the inspiring story of a community-led initiative where people affected by meth addiction create safe spaces to support each other. This grassroots effort has become a national movement, offering judgment-free support for individuals and whānau. Looking Up the Microscope: Self-Reflection on Privilege David introduces the concept of "looking up the microscope", a practice where individuals in privileged positions reflect on their family history, wealth, and inherited trauma. This initiative fosters self-awareness and a deeper understanding of systemic inequities. The Role of Māori Knowledge in Healing David emphasised how Te Ao Māori offers valuable wisdom in addressing social issues. He highlighted how integrating Māori perspectives into mainstream society benefits everyone and is an area where New Zealand is leading globally. The Power of Presence and Balance Discussing the neuroscience of addiction and modern society's obsession with growth, David argues that a balance between action and reflection is crucial. He advocates for slowing down, creating space for self-awareness, and fostering a culture that values relationships over relentless productivity. Final Thoughts and How to Support Wesley Community Action David closes by inviting listeners to explore Wesley Community Action's work at www.wesleyca.org.nz. He encourages involvement in Just Change, an initiative that fosters learning and action for systemic change.

Izzy Horrocks joins Mark Longbottom on the Purposely Podcast to discuss the Aotearoa Lifecourse Fund, a new charitable foundation she has co-founded with Jimmy McLaughlan. The fund aims to find, fund, and scale evidence-based programmes that help children and young people develop essential lifecourse skills. Over the next five years, the foundation plans to invest $10million, raised from individuals, foundations, and businesses that share their belief in the importance of life skills for young people. While they are still in the early stages of fundraising, they have already secured a lead investor committed to making a difference. The fund will act as a grant-maker, supporting charities and organisations working with children and young people. It follows a venture philanthropy model, combining funding with hands-on support for social enterprises and charities. Izzy's experience spans both delivering and funding programs that create social and economic impact. Her perspective was shaped early on by time in Ethiopia and Kenya, where she witnessed the power of local trust and community-led initiatives. This continues to influence her work in New Zealand, where strong partnerships with local charities and leaders are at the heart of the fund's mission.While Izzy and her team draw inspiration from global initiatives, she emphasises that the new foundation will be deeply rooted in New Zealand's unique bicultural identity. Integrating both Pākehā and Te Ao Māori—the Māori worldview and its practices—will be central to their approach, shaping how they engage, support founders, and drive meaningful change. With $5 million already secured and discussions ongoing with potential donors, the fund is progressing towards its target.  Izzy's message to potential supporters is simple: by investing in effective programmes, the Aotearoa Lifecourse Fund will give New Zealand's next generation the opportunities they need to succeed.

Welcome to Episode 59! The whole team gathered for our first fully online interview with 2024 Te Kāhui Whaihanga NZIA Gold Medal winners Hugh Tennent and Ewan Brown. Their award citation describes them as having "travelled commonly avoided pathways" in their work, and our discussion delves deeper into their meeting, the strong commitment to listening and learning, and the complementary nature of their partnership. Their inventive incorporation of Te Ao Māori into architectural responses overlaps with the most pressing needs of the profession to mitigate its effect on the environment, and is captured neatly when they say, "All of the Living Building Challenge projects are kaupapa Māori projects" The discussion is better than the audio quality on this chat, for which we beg your indulgence as we test our ability to interview remote guests.

Today on Not Serious Wine Chats, Pete and John and I sit down with Jannine Rickards (Ngāpuhi & Ngāi the Rangi) from Huntress Wines. I first met Jannine when she was the winemaker at Urlar in Gladstone, a sub-region of the Wairarapa. This part of the country clearly resonates for Jannine as Huntress shifts from a side hustle to the main act. This wonderful wahine still sources fruit and makes wine in this North Island neighbourhood. The name Huntress comes from an extremely pragmatic, utterly pedestrian point of reference for Jannine herself is a huntress. A childhood spent on a sheep and beef farm in the Coromandel nurtured an understanding for animal husbandry and welfare, alongside an innate awareness of the restorative powers of spending time in nature.Her own grandfather passed on traditions such as ancient practices of net fishing for flounder, and her father shared his passion for growing a garden that can feed the family. So it shouldn't come as such a surprise that Jannine grew up to combine the two by becoming a deeply respectful hunter and a massive advocate for a plentiful table laden with homegrown goodness. These things are, in essence, Jannine and factors that contribute to how she sees wine holistically fitting into our lives.Jannine's practice across her winemaking, her gardening and her hunting is based in Te Ao Māori, where land and spirit are inextricably connected. One thing's for sure Huntress wines sure do taste like they summon the powers of Ra, the sun and the mystical whims of Te Whenua, the land, in a magical balance that best reflects the place they come from. There is something of a nomadic story to the Huntress wines. With no vineyards under ownership or her own winemaking space, Jannine leans into the opportunities that exist around her. Much of the wine story is held up by community and people underneath it, and Jannine's story especially represents this as she sources fruit and facilities available to her each season. It means she must work hard across a lot of levels of the business and sure, one day she'd love to put down roots somewhere of her own but for now this huntress is happy just making the most of what Papatuanuku, Earth Mother and Ranginui, Sky Father have to offer from wherever she finds herself. Luckily for us that the universe provides so we can smash a glass or two of Jannine's explorative and most excellent wines. So grab your tramping boots, put on your waterproof parker and make sure the singlet next to your skin is made from New Zealand wool. We're heading bush for this one. This is the Not Serious Jannine Rickards chat.not serious wine chats would like to thank our supporters:TradecraftBy the BottleAntipodes Water Co.

Now we've known for some time that New Zealand's once world class education system is no longer – that it is failing. And I really, really feel for the teachers. Education has been hijacked by ideologues who want children to share their world view and care little for the fact that our kids have no idea how to spell world or view. Our literacy is bad, our numeracy is even worse. According to international studies, we are now one of the least numerate countries in the developed world. In the 2019 Trends and International Maths and Science study, New Zealand's 9-year-olds, the Year 5s, ranked 40th out of 64 countries. Year 9s were even worse - their scores fell by the largest margin since the study began in 1994. Māori and Pasifika students ranked lowest of all. In 2021, a report published in New Zealand by the Royal Society of Mathematics Advisory Panel, which advised the Education Ministry, noted that 1/4 of preschoolers cannot count from 1-10. That's not on the ideological educators at the ministry, that's not on teachers, that is on parents. By Year 9, fewer than one tenth of students are working at their age-appropriate level. Massey University Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Gaven Martin described maths education in this country as a “goddamn mess”. Families with money or access to money or the desperation to find money from somewhere, anywhere, have been sending their kids to after school tutoring. The NumberWorks'nWords franchises and the Kip McGraths that you'll see around the country. One parent in a New Zealand Herald story from 2021 said if you have the money, the kids go to Kumon, which is a another one of those franchises, or NumberWorks, two to three times a week. It's like a form of wealth separation, he said, as only the wealthier families can afford it. And at around about $700 a term, they're right. The wealthy families will do it, but they seldom talk about it. The other kids just languish in the school system and remain at the bottom of the class. And so the gap between the haves and the have-nots gets wider and wider and wider. Now the Government has announced a form of after school maths tuition, but actually in school, and free. They're starting with intermediate students in terms 1 and 2 next year – around 2000 Year 7 and 8 students who are behind in their learning will take part in an intensive support program to bring them up to the required curriculum level in maths. The trial will use small group tutoring and supervised online tuition for 30 minutes, up to four times a week for each child. Basically, your Kip McGraths, Your NumberWorks, and what have you. There will be $30 million for high quality curriculum aligned workbooks, teacher guidance and lesson plans to be provided into every primary and intermediate School, $20 million for professional development and structured maths for teachers as well as (hip hip hooray) getting the Teaching Council to agree to lift maths entry requirements for new teachers. Education Minister Erica Stanford spoke to Heather du Plessis-Allan last night, saying intensive tutoring is one of the best things you can do if you're behind in maths. “We know that all of the international evidence tells us that if you are really far behind, especially in mathematics, one of the best interventions you can do is intensive tutoring in small groups to get up to where you need to be. Because a lot of our students have missed big chunks of their learning and mathematics, and we are particularly targeting those in Year 7 and 8 who are not going to see all of the benefits of our amazing new curriculum and all of our new materials and they're going to go off into high school and, you know, not be where they need to be. So we've had reading interventions in the past, we've never had one for maths, and my intention is that we put this trial up, see what it does and then roll it out.” Yes, yes, yes, yes and more yes! We know the tutoring works. Anyone who has sent their child to one of the expensive but efficient after school tuition programs knows that it works. You've got that one-on-one – and I'm quite sure that our teachers, if they had one-on-one time sufficiently with kids who were falling behind, would be able to raise them up as well, but they simply do not have the time or the resources. Now they will. To be fair to the previous administration, they understood that education was failing our children, they were not getting the education they deserved. The gap between the haves and the have nots, those who could and those who couldn't, was getting wider and wider and wider. In fact, I think we managed to top one aspect of the Trends in Science and Maths by having the biggest gap between those who were succeeding and those who were not. The vast majority of parents cannot afford that kind of one-on-one tuition, but we had Labour tinkering with the curriculum and bringing into Te Ao Māori into maths and science, and it was all very localised and communities could kind of pick and choose how they wanted to teach, with no resources teachers were left floundering as well. They basically had to do the work of the many thousands of bureaucrats and the Ministry of Education and come up with a curriculum. As Professor Elizabeth Rata at Auckland University said, the draft of the new curriculum, as devised by Labour, was a national disgrace. It's a curriculum without content, it's an ideological manifesto. Children in the Far North should receive the same education as children in the far south. It should not be left to chance. And that's what happened. That's exactly what has been happening now. We've got an Education Minister who is a) passionate about giving our children what they deserve and b) has ideas about how to make it happen. It shouldn't be left to chance, as Professor Rata says, it shouldn't be left to teachers to come up with some kind of vague curriculum which they have precious little time to do. And it shouldn't be left to parents to find $700 a term to shore up the gaps in our education system. It shouldn't be that those who can and those who have are able to circumvent our education system and be better and do better, leaving the others languishing. That is not the way we make a better New Zealand. That is not the way we make a productive of New Zealand and that's not the way we make a New Zealand that gives every child the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

The fast track approvals bill, it's been in the news in the last couple of days. Fast track - I was thinking fast food, like drive through, how quickly we can get infrastructure done in this country. Something we haven't been able to do very well for a very long time. Like you would drive into the McDonald's or whatever it is to get your speedy infrastructure done. What would you like, sir? I'll have a housing development, I'll have a bridge or perhaps I'll have a mine on the west coast. Drive straight to 3 pay there, Uncle Shane, there's cousin Simeon ready to take your card and then, oh, lo and behold, Chris Bishop gives you a free Sunday, he's on the milkshake machine. Great. Everybody's happy. Bam, bam, bam and you're straight through. But no, not anymore. Now they are going to revise it and they're going to take away some of those quick decisions making power. So the decisions will now be made by, you guessed it, a panel of experts, not ministers. There's a new process that involves environmental experts, Iwi authority representatives, Māori Development and Te Ao Māori experts extended time frames. So this is not fast food anymore people, this is like a long lunch for infrastructure construction in New Zealand. Why can we never just get on and build stuff? Who cares about a bit of corruption, just build it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm just wondering if there's a big box of prezzy cards stashed somewhere inside the Beehive, or somewhere all the bureaucrats can go, to just bundle up endless prezzy cards to hand out to people.   In the latest prezzy card scandal —and let's not forget there've been a few— 'defendants on serious charges', it was reported, got $75 dollar prezzy cards to attend meetings. These were meetings in Hawke's Bay at the courts, and it was reportedly to ‘share ideas and court experiences.''  So the news report said 'about 50 people attended the meetings'. This was at the start of the month, a couple of weeks ago, and they were held in Napier and Hastings. So who held these meetings and were handing out the prezzy cards?   ‘Ministry of Justice Chief Operating Officer Carl Crafar..' alongside 'Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated, and supported by the Ministry.' The story said the meetings 'were held in order to gain a deeper understanding of the local community's aspirations for Te Ao Mārama.' Which means enhancing justice for all. Which starts with prezzy cards it seems.   The Ministry of Justice's COO was reported saying, "the vision for the District Court, [was] a journey towards a more enlightened justice system, in response to repeated calls for transformative change."   Now here's the key point: the story says the Ministry of Justice claims it didn't know how many attendees at these meetings were defendants or victims. Why not? Why didn't they measure that? Surely that helps inform what they're trying to do in terms of how to improve the experience. Don't you need to know who people are in regards what end of the court system they were dealing with? But it gets worse, Stuff said one attendee was someone currently on bail 'while facing various charges of assault including a charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.' So a very serious charge, an offender still before the courts, on bail, getting handed a prezzy card to the value of 75 dollars so he can buy himself something nice for the trouble of his time to tell the Ministry how his experience before the court could have been better. Are you kidding me?   The Ministry's chief operating officer was quoted saying 'the knowledge shared at the wānanga was invaluable for all those involved, and many participants expressed their appreciation at the opportunity to share their views.' I bet they did. I just don't know how or why this prezzy card reward system has grown into such a big thing for government departments, and why they're so happy to spend our taxpayer dollars on token rewards for anyone and everyone they want information out of. Including alleged offenders.   There has become this general acceptance it would appear, that the best way to entice people to do stuff, is to hand them prezzy cards, or KFC, or takeaways, or any token gesture that gets them over the line... at our expense. I mean I guess it's cheaper than millions on consultants, but how much is being spent on prezzy cards by government? How deep is the prezzy card pot? And why is there no vetting of whose getting them and who isn't and why and how even offenders can get them?   It just feels like more reward-based politics, based on little fact, and using our hard earned money to achieve... what? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Breanne Peters (Kai Tahu, Ngāti Ruanui, Te Atiawa) was born in Naarm (Melbourne) and didn't know anything about her Māori heritage until a trip home to Aotearoa a few years ago that changed the course of her life. Now, the 18 year old artist is on a mission to heal intergenerational trauma so that future generations can have access to their language and culture. She is a passionate advocate for rangatahi Māori (young people) and has found community and support for her journey with the Naarm based kapa haka T'HONI. Breanne shares how singing vocals on Mana Takatāpui helped her to put words to what she had been feeling and how Te Ao Māori (the Māori worldview) has deepened her respect for First Nations people and culture in Australia.

The National Party leader Christopher Luxon made his first appearance as leader at Waitangi over the weekend, distancing himself from previous iterations of the National Party. Luxon said the Don Brash era of National Party politics wasn't a great one, and he did not support the type of politics Brash was known for regarding Māori. Māori leaders are calling for a clean and positive association with Te Ao Māori during election year, something Luxon and Labour leader Chris Hipkins also support. Luxon spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Matariki takes us on a journey of ReMembering the enchanted forests and rivers of Aotearoa, known on most maps as New Zealand, and the continuing journey of the Maori peoples and the pakeha (settlers) who colonized and have enacted grave violence on their land and their people. Her narration of the history becomes a narration of the history of a movement and a set of legislation that has inspired people the world over: recognizing the inherent sovereignty and personhood of forests and rivers. Often known as part of the Rights of Nature Movement, this narration lightly touches on rights-based language, stemming instead from the complex and often immensely challenging relationship between the Maori and the New Zealand government; sovereignty, freedom, and finding ways to be a part of an animate, living world. This episode infuses poetry and fable, legal constructions and historical struggle, contemporary learnings, and the complex endeavors of some hard-core innovation between two vastly different cosmovisions. Listen to a story by one whose family and whose life is shaped by and for it: Matariki uses her training and expertise as a lawyer to be in service to her forest.Timestamps:5:05 - Remembering, ReEnchanting, and coming back to life in Aotearoa New Zealand12:04 - Treaty of Waitangi (Settlements negotiation and settlement process) legislation14:50 - The Crown - what is this government, anyways? 18:10 - “Settlement” process: the journey of understanding colonial pasts differently30:49 - How do you shift away from a national park?42:00 - What does it feel like to stand before the Forest as your mother?46:20 - The great law of peace, Sara's ancestors and working with democracy differently1:02:15 - From the Ocean1:11:24 - Some of Matariki's current work and artistic journeyWe all do belong to earth.Matariki's bio:Erin Matariki Carr: (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Awa).

Māni Dunlop (Ngāpuhi) and Jamie Tahana (Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāti Makino, Te Arawa) are journalists and national broadcasters who actively champion te reo Māori me nga tikanga Māori through their work. Māni was the first Māori journalist at RNZ to host a weekday show, while Jamie is one of RNZ's youngest Māori News Directors. They began their careers as RNZ interns, Māni in 2011 and Jamie in 2014. Māni initially worked in the general newsroom focusing on housing and social issues. Jamie started at Radio New Zealand Pacific (formerly International) with a focus on climate change and political undulations. Now, they're incredibly popular Māori broadcasters. Every week, more than 600,000 people listen to RNZ and in 2021 the listenership of Te Ao Māori shows increased 55%. Thousands of Twitter followers want to know what their ‘takes' are, beyond the stories they write and produce to the public. For Mahuru Māori, Māni and Jamie spoke about their experiences, challenges, and triumphs of being at the front line of change in public radio. The past decade has seen dramatic changes in public radio, influenced by iwi radio, social media, politics, and pandemics. Today, these two young Māori journalists are now major decision-makers in the inclusion of Māori content and te reo Māori at a national level. Facilitated by Pou Matua Mātauranga Māori, Senior Historian Mātauranga Māori, Matariki Williams (Tūhoe, Ngāti Hauiti, Taranaki, Ngāti Whakaue). These monthly Public History Talks are a collaboration between the Alexander Turnbull Library and Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage.

Mary Holm is a bit of an institution. Her long-standing finance columns, radio appearances and down to earth books on savings and investment, have helped demystify what can be a daunting topic for so many. I'm particularly struck by her encouraging and reassuring tone. Money doesn't have to be a burden, and that's a view shared by my good friend and first returning podcast guest Te Waka McLeod who's working with whānau in Taranaki to build financial stability. She shares what her late mother taught her about money, as well as offers insight into Te Ao Māori values around the topic. Catch Te Waka in the last episode of Season 01 - 'Inevitable grief'.

Auckland Transport's controversial parking strategy has been pushed back until after the local body elections, when there's a risk of it being scrapped. The hot button policy would see AT removing parking spaces across the city for cycleways and bus lanes, and charging at park and ride stations, in a bid to unlock choked roads and reduce congestion. But the Herald can reveal that public feedback has drawn strong opposition and there are also concerns about the level of engagement with Māori. The policy is now in danger because only a slim majority of councillors currently favour rewriting the city's parking rules, and that could change after the polls close on October 8. The parking strategy is one of the biggest transport upheavals undertaken by AT since the Super City was formed in 2010. It works to the principle that kerbside parking is the "lowest priority" on arterial roads and will automatically be removed for cycleways and busways, except under exceptional circumstances. Busy arterial roads like Mt Eden Rd could lose car parks for cycleways and bus lanes. Photo / Peter Meecham Auckland Mayor Phil Goff trashed the first version that gave AT unfettered power to remove parking as "totally arrogant". The council's planning committee was divided by 13 votes to 10 to endorse a revised version for public consultation that allows for parking plans in town centres. Acting AT chief executive Mark Lambert and planning boss Jenny Chetwynd said gaps in public feedback and engagement with Māori require more work meaning the strategy will be delayed until February next year. AT plans to go back out to consultation in West and South Auckland and try to repair relations with mana whenua, mataawaka and the Independent Māori Statutory Board (IMSB), which advances the interests of Māori at Auckland Council. Public feedback on the strategy attracted 943 submissions and showed strong opposition. Planning committee chairman Chris Darby. Photo / Dean Purcell Supporters of the parking strategy said it was required to address climate change, it should be implemented as fast as possible and parking should be banned on all main roads. The Automobile Association has mixed views on the strategy, saying it makes sense to remove parking on arterial roads, but concerned the strategy could later be extended to residential streets where parking is a real challenge. The AA is also concerned about the double whammy of AT removing car parks and new Government-imposed rules that mean developers no longer have to provide off-street parking. Chetwynd said the council advised her it wanted the issue delayed until after the election to get the new mayor and the council's eye across it. Planning committee chairman Chris Darby is also seeking an assurance from AT that it has engaged properly with mana whenua and mataawaka when the strategy comes back to his committee for a final decision. Documents obtained by the Herald under the Official Information Act show the AT board was keen to get final approval from the council before the election, but last night Chetwynd said the most important thing is the council is comfortable with where the strategy lands. Auckland Transport's parking plan involves removing kerbside parking for cycling and bus lanes. Photo / Brett Phibbs AT is on the back foot with Māori following a mana whenua hui and talks with the IMSB. The Official Information Act documents show Māori at the hui expressed serious concerns about the impact of removing car parks for less able-bodied kaumatua and kuia and tougher enforcement creating a cycle of debt for Māori. After two members of the IMSB, Tau Henare and Karen Wilson, voted against endorsing the strategy for public consultation in March, the AT board called for a "leader to leader" meeting to address IMSB concerns about the engagement process. An email from the AT officer overseeing the parking strategy, Andrew McGill, said this is "no fault of ours, but we need to make sure we repair the relationship. Their votes will be critical for the final approval". Chetwynd said mana whenua input is critical for AT to have a Te Ao Māori perspective, saying it is an ongoing learning experience for the council body and Māori. She wanted to understand the depth of Māori concerns and was "absolutely" prepared to make changes to the strategy. "We have to not just learn from Māori, but all sectors of the community," Chetwynd said. Independent Māori Statutory Board chairman David Taipari. Photo / Dean Purcell IMSB chairman David Taipari told the Herald a meeting took place following the board directive with senior AT staff to discuss poor engagement and the need for it to be done better. "Some stuff has been done recently, but it is still not good enough," said Taipari, saying in his view Henare and Wilson are unlikely to change their position when the matter returns to the planning committee. Said Lambert: "We do need more time to progress the strategy and try and get a more balanced approach, looking to listen more and make changes to the strategy over the next few months." - Bernard Orsman, NZ HeraldSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It all started with a dream... literally. Jay Ruka, the new co dean at Taranaki Cathedral Church of St Mary in New Plymouth, joins me on an episode to talk about religion and its relationship to colonisation and the reconciling of those two worlds in the modern day. We explore what it's like growing up within a household run by church leaders and how those influences rippled out into social circles. Surfing, church, colonisation, family and the churches role in settling Aotearoa as an English colony all play out heavily here. We also get into a very elaborate kōrero about chicken and Jays immersing back into Te Ao Māori. Before you change, you need to be challenged. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bestsiiide/message

Dame Anne Salmond and Moana Maniapoto take to the Going West stage for a kōrero on Salmond's landmark publication Tears of Rangi: Experiments Across Worlds. They discuss the convergence of Te Ao Māori and Western thinking in Aotearoa, helping us to inform our future together. Salmond's book explores how lessons from the past can inform our future, providing us new ways of tackling global challenges. It illuminates how the power of transformative thinking, combining Te Ao Māori and Western world views, can bring about a pioneering approach to living in Aotearoa informed by our bicultural past. In this warm, intelligent and provocative conversation with kindred spirit, musician and documentary filmmaker Moana Maniapoto, Salmond recounts her own life and experiences as a Pākeha academic seeking to better understand and connect to Te Ao Māori. The book - and this conversation - pose a significant question: can different worlds converge in Aotearoa? It explores the difficulties, challenges and successes since the first contact between Europeans and Māori, and presents ideas on how the two worlds might successfully build a future together.

In this episode, Debbie and Josie interview Nadine Toe Toe, Co-Director of Kohutapu Lodge & Tribal Tours, a whānau-owned and operated tourism business with a vision to “Change a town through tourism”.  Nadine shares how her family and business are an integral part of their community and the experience they offer visitors is one of deep cultural exchange that gives back to the tamariki (children) of the area through opportunities for travel, growth, and development. Nadine also discusses how regenerative tourism practice is strongly aligned with Te Ao Māori, the Māori worldview, and therefore is not new, but deeply rooted in ancient indigenous wisdom.  We've introduced regenerative tourism principles in our first two episodes from an overarching view and then a regional view. In this episode we hear from a local, community based tourism business owner providing an inspiring example of regenerative tourism in practice.

Sacha McMeeking spoke at the 2020 Hillary Laureate Dinner to give the closing remarks.  She somehow managed to weave together so many unique threads that touched on colonisation, climate change, Te Ao Māori and some real challenges about who we are taking along with us and will lead in the future.  Sacha is Head of School of Aotahi: Māori and Indigenous Studies at the University of Canterbury.  The evening was to honour the latest Hillary Institute Laureate, Christiana Figueres.   Other speeches and videos are here: https://www.hillaryinstitute.com/2020-hillary-laureate-dinner This talk as video: https://youtu.be/7d1LCK_9754  Some excerpts of the talk: "One of the practises in Te Ao Māori that I don’t think we have carried through enough is that most of our chiefly types didn’t get there because they were the best person for the job, they got their because when they were young somebody picked them and made them do something they were utterly unprepared to do.  So collective imagination should be partnered with - where is your Rangatahi, who are you taking with you? What we need to do here tonight is to clothe each other in expectation… I challenge you all to ask yourselves - what are you going to give up?  Who are you going to believe in? Who are you going to jump start?  And what are you going to expect them to do for the world.  I can tell you a few things that I expect all of you to do because I know quite a few of you and I know your potential, I know your roles, I know your talents - that knowledge is arguably the most important component for belief.  When we talk about Manaakitanga, it’s one of those words that makes us feel good, because we think about hospitality and being cared forgot if you are going to Manaaki someone, you have got to know them - you have got to genuinely know them, you have got to genuinely care… so if we are genuinely going to do all of those things, then we have also got to deepen the relationships with each other, which is the reason I am most grateful to be here tonight sharing with you under an envelope of expectations that you will give up something tonight, that you will take someone with you tomorrow and that collectively we will self determine a better future." "It would be quite common at this point for a Maori speaker to tell you soothing tales from our traditional knowledge - but that’s not my lane... Instead what I want to do is talk to you about our practices and what I think our practices can teach us all.  The first is the power of small deeds.  I think in New Zealand we are really uncomfortable with small deeds… we are a small country so we don’t like small things.  We like to be the first to grant women the vote and we like to be doing grand international statements like nuclear free.  But I think actually what things like the Ngai Tahu settlement teach us is this power of small deeds.  So one of the things in the Ngai Tahu settlement which, when I was young and impetuous and probably a bit arrogant, I didn’t’t understand at all was the power off the place name changes.  So in the Ngai Tahu settlement, and in all settlements that followed, there are a raft of place name changes.  And I used to think but there is so much egregious unconscionable history - how can place name changes be at a level commensurate to offset the horrors of that history.  And then as I got older and started to appreciate that it is not just radical protest action that changes the world, I realised that the power of place names is that it changes habits.  So that now it is the exception to be on a plane when they actually fly and the pilot doesn’t mention Aoraki.  That power of changing habits is remarkable and it is something that I think we need to get more familiar with.  Because we expect and perhaps with the naivety and impetuosity of youth that’s got a long hangover - we expect that grand normative wins will change the world.  We expect that the declaration of women’s equality will translate to pay equity and a reduction in domestic violence.  But that grand normative change has done neither of those things - what has moved us closer to those are the small steps, the changes to habit, the changes to daily routine.  And that is what place name changes did.  So just over 20 years ago when the Ngai Tahu settlement was passed it caused outrage that we might refer to this landscape by its original names.  And now it is just habit, now it is just an expectation because day by day, small step by small step, normative change came through habit, through routine.  And that is something that we all have the power to do.  So my first challenge is to look at our daily habits and our daily routines."

Production Note: Some of this conversation was featured in our last episode. This episode contains the conversations with Jacqui, in its entirety.Waveney chats to Jacqui Forbes (Ngāruahine), the Kaihautū Matua (General Manager) for the Māori zero waste organisation Para Kore. Starting with Poihakena Marae in Raglan/Whaingāroa, Para Kore now has now touch almost half a million participants at wananga, events and presentations.Jacqui is sharing knowledge with and between marae throughout Aotearoa to reduce waste and pass on methods to work with the environment. Her philosophy is steeply grounded in a Te Ao Māori perspective and using mythology like the Māori creation story - borne of the separation of Papatūānuku and Ranginui, we can look at we humans as being the youngest creatures inhabiting the land. Respecting that we are part of nature and thus need to protect our fellow living beings felt very normal to Jacqui from a young age and she shares stories from her upbringing which still inform her approach today.LinksCollapse by Jared DiamondPara Kore's website See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

By RNZJesse Mulligan alongside The Edge radio station's Sharyn Casey and Jayden King have been announced as host of the inaugural Aotearoa Music Awards.The awards replace the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards and aim to "reinterpret what it means to be a Kiwi musician".In addition to the new name and identity, the format of this year's event will be different. In previous years the ceremony was a fast-moving two-and-a-half-hour presentation including eight musical performances. This year's show will be extended to three and a half hours and will include an impressive 18 performances, which organisers are promising will be "intimate".Twenty awards will be presented on the night and multiple inductees will be welcomed into the NZ Music Hall of Fame.After a rough year for the music industry due to Covid-19, the awards' charity partners will be a key focus of the ceremony. Partners include MusicHelps, Crescendo Trust, Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre, and Girls Rock Camp.The Aotearoa Music Awards are organised by industry body Recorded Music NZ, which represents record producers, distributors and recording artists who sell recorded music in New Zealand.Its manager Sarah Owen says, "The decision to rebrand the awards aligns with continued efforts to recognise Aotearoa's tangata whenua and te reo Māori as the first language of New Zealand, as well as the importance of Te Ao Māori in our lives."With the renaming to Aotearoa Music Awards and the kaupapa behind that, we are taking another step in bringing the awards back to the core of what they're for: to celebrate, support and encourage the creative journeys of all our recording artists."-RNZ

Former Air New Zealand cabin attendant Taaniko Nordstrom, and her sister-in-law Vienna Nordstrom, are the creative duo behind Soldiers Rd Portraits, a photography-based business they set up together in 2011. Based in Cambridge, they dress their customers in Māori, Pasifika, Native American and First Nations' clothing and then photograph them to create a vintage-style portrait. Soldiers Rd have taken this idea overseas to Australia, the US, Europe and India, and in 2016 started a project called Behind the Wire- Rangatahi ki Rangatira. This social enterprise involves them taking portraits of inmates at the Te Ao Mārama Māori Focus Unit at Waikeria Prison in the Waikato as a means of re-connecting them with their cultural identity and whakapapa through portraiture.

Dame Anne Salmond and Moana Maniapoto take to the Going West stage for a kōrero on Salmond's landmark publication Tears of Rangi: Experiments Across Worlds. They discuss the convergence of Te Ao Māori and Western thinking in Aotearoa, helping us to inform our future together. Salmond's book explores how lessons from the past can inform our future, providing us new ways of tackling global challenges. It illuminates how the power of transformative thinking, combining Te Ao Māori and Western world views, can bring about a pioneering approach to living in Aotearoa informed by our bicultural past. In this warm, intelligent and provocative conversation with kindred spirit, musician and documentary filmmaker Moana Maniapoto, Salmond recounts her own life and experiences as a Pākeha academic seeking to better understand and connect to Te Ao Māori.  The book - and this conversation - pose a significant question: can different worlds converge in Aotearoa? It explores the difficulties, challenges and successes since the first contact between Europeans and Māori, and presents ideas on how the two worlds might successfully build a future together.

This interview with Liana Poutu was recorded not long after COVID-lockdown to get her take on Taranaki .

Xavier Forsman - Poukōkiri Rangahau Māori at Research North reviews the 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake from a Te Ao Māori perspective. He breaks down the Maori concept of mana as an illustration of the unique way in which the Maori community were impacted by this disaster and the ways in which recovery was intimately tied to the restoration of mana. His work in this area led Xavier to the story of the Whakatu Freezing works and the further impact its closure had on a close knit community. In the following talk, both events are discussed in terms of disaster, environmental and economic, offering a deeper understanding of their wider impact and ways in which we might better embrace new opportunities moving forward with a shared understanding. Haramai tētahi ahua! Enjoy the journey!
