Ka pū te ruha, ka hao te rangatahi ✨

The old net is laid aside, the new net goes a-fishing.

This whakataukī speaks to renewal — a passing of knowledge, strength, and leadership from one generation to the next.

It honours those who have come before us, while making space for rangatahi to rise, lead, and shape the future.

There is power in both —
in the wisdom of our kaumātua,
and the courage of our next generation.

Matapoorehu ana a Puutauaki,
Wairutu ana ko te Rangitaaiki, rohi ai e
Teenei hoki au, kei te kaarangi noa,
he nui noo te aroha.
_
Kei te pou tikanga,
Kei te pou whakairo i te kupu,
Whai atu koe i te ara i tohua e koe, e oou kupu.
Ahakoa ka ngaro koe i te tirohanga kanohi,
Ka mau tonu oou kupu mo te ake ake.
_
E Taa Hirini, e moe.

Puutauaki stands in mourning. The Rangitaaiki carries our sorrow. Though you pass from our sight, your words and your legacy remain.

Dr Mara Andrews brought a wealth of experience in Māori and Indigenous development to the Toitū Hauora Emerging Leaders programme.

Holding a PhD focused on Tribal Self-Governance in Healthcare and having worked across Aotearoa, Canada, and Hawai‘i, Mara shared insights on leadership, rangatiratanga, and the many ways Māori continue to shape their own futures.

A thought-provoking session that encouraged emerging leaders to recognise the power of everyday acts of sovereignty.

A new generation of Māori nurses are stepping into the workforce determined to change the narrative for our people.

Backed by a $1M Southern Cross Healthcare scholarship fund, Māori tauira are being supported through the financial pressures of nursing studies, helping more Māori nurses graduate and thrive.

“There is a lot of focus on Māori deficit out there, and I want to focus on Māori strengths.” — Mallory Ahmu

This kōrero hit deep.

The idea that self-sabotage can disguise itself in our language, our habits, even the way we speak about being “busy” or “stretched”... so insightful.

A reminder that growth is not just about changing our actions, but becoming aware of the thoughts and patterns quietly trying to pull us back into old versions of ourselves.

So much wisdom in this one. 🌱

Mihi to Planting Seeds for another powerful whakaaro. Definitely worth watching the full podcast and sitting with this whakaaro a little deeper.
