What happens when Māori writers are given a culturally safe space to tell their own stories, in their own words?

Te Manunui was created to explore that possibility.

We sat down with Toi Tangata Kaiārahi (Design, Innovation and Research Lead) Chelsea Cunningham-McLean to reflect on the journey behind the inaugural edition of Te Manunui.

Eight kaituhi feature in this first edition, bringing diverse experiences and perspectives across hauora Māori, mātauranga, whakapapa, community and research.

For Chelsea, Te Manunui: A Toi Tangata Journal is also about creating pathways for people who may not traditionally see themselves in academic publishing, including community practitioners, tauira, early-career researchers and first-time writers.

Māui Pōtiki is a kaupapa that reflects how rangatahi see and experience tākaro today. Over the past four weeks, two Toi Tangata kaimahi have been working alongside tauira and kaiako from two kura Māori, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kōtuku ki Rānui and Ngā Puna o Waiorea.

CrossFit has been the modality used to bring tauira together, using movement, challenge and play to create a space where they are eager to participate, connect and learn. Through this approach, tauira are able to engage with pūrākau beyond the classroom and experience these stories through kori and movement.

We’d like to acknowledge Te Yard Fitness for their manaakitanga and for allowing us to use their space to give these rangatahi the opportunity to grow, challenge themselves and thrive within this kaupapa.

“Ko au te taiao, ko te taiao ko au.” 🌿
I am the environment, and the environment is me.

He mihi nunui ki Te Kura Taiao 🏞️ mō tō koutou manaaki, mātauranga me tō koutou ū ki te tiaki i te taiao, ki te tuhura taiao anō hoki.

He mea whakamīharo te kite i te hononga me te mōhio ki ngā tohu o te rangi, o te whenua me te wai. Koia nei hei kawenga whakamua mā ngā whakatipuranga. 💚🌱

Our kaimahi, Chels & Tays had the privlege of leading two tutorial sessions today’s for a Māori Public Health paper at the University of Otago today.

What makes days like today special is being able to share kōrero & wānanga about hauora beyond the theory and to show what it can look like when whakapapa, pūrakau & kori are brought to life through it.

Ngā mihi to the tauira for their engagment and kōrero and to Karen Maclennan & Brent Paehua for having us.

He kaupapa hirahira, he haerenga ngātahi.
I hui tahi a Te Pae Tawhiti, a Ihi Aotearoa | Sport New Zealand, a Toi Tangata me Ngā Pākura ki te wānanga i te pae tawhiti me te aronga whakamua mō tō tātou kaupapa o Mātaiao.
Kāore tū atu i te kanohi ki te kanohi, sharing our whakaaro, celebrating the progress that has been made, and looking ahead together at how we continue to strengthen Mātaiao for our kura, kaiako, tauira and our whānau.
Whāia!
