Te Rau Hihiri

"...despite running a few events to date, we do not class ourselves as professional conference organisers. Just a group of friends who dream big, take the best of all our pūkenga and smash it together. Believe me, we do plenty of karakia and karanga to our ātua to guide us. We are hopeless addicts to the cause." Elena Higgison, Te Rau Hihiri Trustee, shares her reflections on He Māori Ahau as we wrap up and head into wānanga mode.

At He Māori Ahau, the Mahi ā Tira session focused on co-designing a five-year mahere, harnessing collective strengths to achieve the vision of Hawaiki Mokopuna. It was a hard task to do within an hour but we made a great start. All of the Hawaiki Mokopuna rauemi - vision, activity guidance and mahere, are now available and downloadable on our website. We encourage you to download, share, wānanga, collaborate and feedback. What are you going to do to launch your waka today towards Hawaiki Mokopuna? https://lnkd.in/geEZXQiS #HeMāoriAhau #HawaikiMokopuna #MahiĀTira #Downloadable

Being politically neutral working in the public service doesn't mean being culturally neutral. Despite what feels like many attacks on many fronts, hope, ideas and solutions lie in our culture, our strength, in the mana of the collective. Being Māori is our superpower, and we can and should bring this into our roles in every way we can. #toitūtemanaotetakitini
