Hosted by Community Research, this podcast series delves into candid and insightful kōrero, offering a deeper understanding of how Te Tiriti o Waitangi has shaped our nation.
In today’s landscape of Te Tiriti challenges, authentic conversations about equity, inclusion, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi are crucial. Te Tiriti is widely recognised as New Zealand’s foundational constitutional document. Yet, its profound significance to Māori and the ongoing impacts on their rights over the past 184 years are often overlooked.
This podcast series features conversations with six influential thought leaders deeply versed in Te Tiriti understanding. Kaye-Maree Dunn from Making Everything Achievable leads discussions on He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni and Te Tiriti o Waitangi, engaging with knowledgeable thought leaders.
This series is an easy entry point to the key subjects related to the creation of our New Zealand constitution, and the impacts of colonisation on both Māori and all people in New Zealand. The kōrero in these podcasts are reflective discussions that delve into history, unity, education, allyship with tangata Tiriti, tangata Moana, and the empowering influence of rangatahi leadership.
The first episode is a deep kōrero with Pita Tipene about the history of te Tiriti, and Ngāpuhi sovereignty.
Dr. Makere Mutu, Te Huia Bill Hamilton, and Dr. Luke Fitzmaurice-Brown share their unique perspectives and deep insights from a tangata whenua perspective.
The podcast explores a tangata Tiriti perspective with Joseph Nicholls, and from the tangata Moana perspective with Faumauina Felolini Maria Tafuna’i, as they discuss their roles as advocates and supporters of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
