Carwyn Jones (Ngāti Kahungunu, Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki) is one of the Māori scholars behind Me Tū-ā-Uru who provided the funding for Together for Te Taiao. Me Tū-ā-Uru relates to the whakataukī (proverb) ‘Me Uru Kahikatea’ which symbolises the strength of unity and the vision for our wānanga was to bring that to life by hosting kaimahi (workers) for te Tiriti (the Treaty) and te taiao (environment) together with wairua (spirit) at the centre.

Me Tū-ā-Uru is an action plan for a flourishing and abundant taiao (environment, including humans) that sustains and nurtures all life. It envisions a future where tangata whenua (people of the land) and tangata Tiriti (people in Aotearoa by virtue of the Treaty) value, are informed by, and live in good relationship with Papatūānuku (Earth Mother) and each other. The full report features case studies that serve as real-world glimpses of this better future and a relational framework to guide us to create more real-world examples. You can check out the report in full at metuauru.co.nz and the Matike Mai report that Carwyn references at matikemai.maori.nz

Taraheke describes Nadine Anne Hura (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hine) as a "poet, essayist, zine maker and activist-by-stealth".

Nadine's writing harnesses the power of Indigenous storytelling to inspire collective action and sees Indigenous reclamation as creative practice. She shared this reading with us from her latest pukapuka 'Slowing The Sun' which is a collection of essays looking at the impact of climate damage through a relational lens rather than a wholly ecological one - enabling people to the connect with the kaupapa (cause, purpose) by understanding its impact on our spirit, our communities, our hauora (holistic health) and our cultural practices.

You can subscribe to read more of Nadine's writing at the link in her bio: @nadineannehura or grab a copy of Slowing The Sun from @bwb_books.

Dr. Ruakere Hond (Taranaki, Ngāti Ruanui, Te Ātiawa) is a prominent Māori language revitalisation expert and educator with over 30 years of experience, particularly with the Te Ataarangi immersion method. A Parihaka leader who embodies the spirit and values of his ancestors, Matua Ruakere chose to use his time at Together for Te Taiao to talk about the commodification of whenua (land) underpinning the climate and biodiversity crisis and traced the beginning of that ideology in Aotearoa back to British colonisation and the land wars they initiated to facilitate it. You can learn more about the colonial history of Waitara, including from Matua Ruakere, on the RNZ documentary NZ Wars: Stories of Waitara.

Whaea Ramari Stewart (Ngāti Awa, Rongomaiwahine, Ngāti Mahuta) is a renowned tohunga tohorā (whale expert).

In an @nzgeo article about her titled, 'Call of the whales' we learn that from a young age, Whaea Ramari was tutored by her Elders in Mātauranga Māori (traditional and ancestral knowledge of the natural world). “It’s about developing your senses, and your ability to perceive your environment and survive in it,” she says. “But most importantly, your ability to be part of that environment, not separate from it. It promoted in me a profound sense of kinship with the environment. I regard all life as my tuākana, my Elders.” During her kōrero, her key message to our rōpū was that mātauranga has to be lived and practiced to be made real.

We were blessed to have Whaea Ramari travel all the way from her home on the mighty West Coast of Te Waipounamu to Owae Marae in Waitara, Taranaki to share some of her knowledge at Together for Te Taiao earlier this year. You can learn more about her extraordinary life in a documentary called Whale Out My Window.

Being grammatically incorrect has never stopped me from voicing my kare-ā-roto,
yet now it seeks the form of expression through poetry.

Nei te mihi mahana to @nadia_hineaorangi_rose + @ahapiata
for guiding me beyond imposter syndrome and encouraging my level of creativity,
ahakoa ngā hapa.

This piece was written at wānanga
during a poetry workshop led by
@laniyuk + @rangimarieprosery

Te whakatinana-tanga
o tōku nei tuakiritanga.
E rite tonu ana ki te hāngai
o hine-ahu-one.
Te patopato o tōna nei toto.
E pērā ana ki te Paopao
o koro Taranaki.
Te rere haere o ngā awa tipua.
E pērā hoki ki te tangi o te kākano.
He mokopuna ano tēra.
Mai i a Rangi, tae noa ki to tātou
whaene a Papatūānuku,
te reka hoki ki te noho
i waenganui ia kui mā,
a koro mā. Anō nei hoki ngā taongai whakatinana-hia mo tātou,
mo koutou hoki,

The embodiment of all that I am,
every thread of my whakapapa.
Like Hine-ahu-one, her blood runs through me, through you, through us. The sound of her blood dropping is like a familiar rhythm.
Familiar like the heartbeat of Koro Taranaki,
like traditional drums of mana whenua that echo across our rohe. But the blood of hine ahu one still flows, it flows like the rivers that undress themselves over papatūānuku,
flowing like tears that come from our pēpi. Tears often associated with sorrow,
but it’s often the 1st sign of mokopuna
being healthy after leaving te whare tangata.
From Rangi’s stretch to the grounded roots of Papatūānuku, how delicious it is to dance with our ancestors, a kui mā, a koro mā.
To taste the treasures they laid to feed our tinana, wairua, whenua, land. They leave behind these tangible and intangible instruments for kaitiaki who are
still yet to arrive.

Together for Te Taiao 🤎🙌🏽

MANAVA was honoured to attend this wānanga that brought together some of our rangatira in the climate space 🌊🍃

As @dinnie_moeahu shared, "I am a by-product of hope." This wānanga reminded us that the work we do together is a continuation of the whakapapa of hope we inherit from our ancestors. So let's keep moving 🌏🌺

Nga mihi nui to the organisers of this amazing wānanga @teraukura_oc_rapira @locapinay @rangimarieprosery @alva.feldmeier, Tina and Lourdes 🙌🏽 We are excited to watch the seeds you have planted through this kaupapa grow 🌱🌱

Indigenous knowledges, sovereignty and hononga has brought me home with my heart so full and inspired to keep fighting, building and growing spaces of resistance, connection and love.

From the big belly laughter and hugs of chosen whānau to the collective tears for our Lands and Waterways and the tūpuna that inhibit them, taking the many first of many’s, gay panic, whaea wero, Takatāpuitanga in abundance, the healing mahi of our toi, intergenerational manaaki and watching your mates heal intergenerational pains whilst running with the flame all in one weekend of wānanga.

Endlessly grateful and proud to keep our connections growing.

Ngā mihi nui

Calling all Māori Writers! Tickets are now available for Tukua! Te Hā Hui + Zinefest 2025 - Friday 29th of August to Sunday 31st August at Kōraunui Marae in Stokes Valley, Te Whanganui a Tara.

Whether you're an established writer or just starting out i te ao tuhituhi, there'll be something for everyone.

The themes this year are connection, creativity and collectivity. Tukua te Hā refers to the exhalation that allows us to clear old energy and to draw fresh inspiration. Nourished by delicious kai, we look forward to te kai a te rangatira - wānanga alongside kaituhi with diverse skills and experience. The dialogue will be intergenerational and intersectional, traversing a range of subjects including:

🖊️ Pūrākau and oral narratives
✏️ Activism as an artform
🖊️ Mātauranga-led creative practice
✏️ How to find and create opportunities for others
🖊️ Narrativising memory
✏️ Art as healing science with He Puna Oro
🖊️ Tips to help prepare you for performance and publication

The Zine Fest will run concurrently in the adjacent hall, offering an informal and comfortable space for small group discussions and zine-making - with all-day cups of tea and snacks. There will also be a range of limited capacity workshops, including Starting a Novel, Reo Māori Editing and Translation, and Healing Through Poetry.

For those who want to write and connect with friends, we will have early morning offerings for the tinana (Tu Pū Āio Yoga flow, reo rua) as well as for the hinengaro (Journaling). Ka whakakapi te hui ki te pō whakangāhau - on the last night we look forward to our traditional Open Mic and the Zine Fest Stalls will be open for trade.

The full programme, including our invited manuhiri and workshop facilitators, will be released shortly. Tickets are limited so don't wait too long - hope to see you there!

I had so much fun making this invite. Compared to the amount of mahi behind the scenes, this was PURE JOY. [note, apart from the lower text it was NOT made on canva !!]

As always when collaging, the name “tukua te hā” revealed itself much more sharply as I played and experimented (sending iterative pics to the committee as I went). I could feel myself exhaling the wary / weary breath while the elements took shape on the page. Clearing the frustration and riri and exhaustion to allow for the intake of fresh inspiration. Collective, creative and joy making. That is exactly what we want for this gathering. That is a big part of the intention and the substance behind the name.

Just for background, cos I realise a lot of people don’t know. Te Hā is a kaupapa aroha (I’ll tag the committee so you know who we are). We are in it for the pā harakeke, for the mutual support, for the championing of each others ‘success’ (whatever that looks like for each of us) … and in my case at least, for the scissors and staples and cellotape!

If you want to find out more about the kaupapa of Te Hā, especially if you would like to start meeting in the regions where you are, reach out to one of us. It’s not a membership community. It’s a whakapapa community. If you’re a Māori writer, you’re already part of it. I mean, if you wanna be.

Thanks to the many hands that have supported us to bring this hui to fruition (esp Toi Māori kaimahi!), as well as all those who held the kaupapa before us.

I shall now begin collaging the programme!! Stand by for that… and grab your tickets before the sell out!

As tangata tiriti I've been hesitant to add my voice to the huge outpouring of aroha for Robyn Kahukiwa that's been so beautifully expressed by so many over the last couple of days. But I just feel so phenomenally privileged that she agreed to be included in Sight Lines - there's no way to publish a book about women and art in this country without her work.

Robyn chose Rangimarie Sophie Jolley to write about her mahi for the book, having known and trusted her for some time. I'm humbled that the essay they shaped together, titled 'Ka Whawhai Tonu Mātou: The revolution reflected by the art of Robyn Kahukiwa' lives in Sight Lines.

Robyn's work is singular, unshakable and sovereign, and will remain so for generations and generations to come.
