HUNTING WITH TUI
Mere Pōhatu
Wash Your Hands 2020 as a date is almost over in our lives. We arrange ourselves around the 12 months. We plan our holidays. We count off the days. Some of us have days of our birth celebrated. We plan our whānau gatherings around the calendar. We decide our education around the 12 months. We do almost everything by hour, by day, by week, by month – sometimes by the minute. Now is the time. It is Time to wind back time. Recall with the whānau why we locked down. Remember how we loved being with the whānau, cooking, eating and keeping well together. Remember how going to the Supermarket was a treat and an adventure. Remember how we simply smiled and waved at one another. Remember how we looked after our pakeke. We shared our kai. We worried about our mokopuna who were locked down with crazies. We backed our iwi to collectivise and run protection strategies. Remember how we made sure that those of us who had less resilience, less resources and less capacity to house, feed and protect, well we made sure they had kai and good health including flu vaccinations. Remember we were all so focused on having supplies of hand sanitiser, cleaning products and keeping our distance from other humans and some of us were even being kind. We had so much organised in our daily lives, along with rituals of karakia and exercise, that we were all positively glowing.
The modern world has disconnected us from our food and our past. It is time to reconnect. Since time immemorial, Māori have been directed by an ancient set of customs: those of Tāne, Tangaroa, Rongo and Haumia. To get food from these four domains required a mastery of tools and ritual, knowledge of karakia, an understanding of nature’s lore and a commitment to hard work. This lifestyle had produced a people described by early observers as the most physically perfect race alive. In a world of disconnect, a return to these principles offers a pathway of wellbeing; to be sustained once again by these customs and Kai Māori. Tui Marama Keenan presenter of Māori TV show ‘Hunting with Tui’ has spent the last 3 years learning the art of Kai Māori. This opportunity has also allowed her to find her identity as a Ngāti Porou Māori Wāhine and connect with Te Ao Māori in a way that has impacted her life immensely.
And we washed our hands. All of the time. We even sanitised our TV remote controls, our light switches, our phones, our door handles. Every surface we touched was wiped. Deep cleaning became the new mantra. No, not just a spring clean, or once in a blue moon clean. We cleaned. Every day all day. We were so good at protection. Our iwi set up better border controls than the real properly resourced government mandated border controls. Pīpīwharauroa readers, we were so good collectively that not one sniff of COVID 19 came anywhere near us. We are so awesome. I want us all to know that the iwi collectives sitting at the table with the Authorities of Local Government, Emergency Management, Health, and other government agencies totally protected this region. We can apply that very same collective tenacity to all of our future plans to be well and vibrant. All we, as community citizens have to do, is take some of our own responsibilities as seriously as we did during Lock-down. Care for ourselves and others and share our stuff and help with others and, for goodness sake, wash your hands. So, read this and think. It’s not about the time of the year, it’s about the state of our thinking in relation to our seasonal environment. Whānau, keep our mokopuna safe, happy and cared for. Help others when you can. Be vigilant and notice if any of our mokopuna want some of your spare kind support and help. Wash your hands. It’s a good practice for your mind and thinking.

In 2019 Tui moved back to Gisborne with her husband and girls to take up a Te Rūnanga o Tūranganui ā-Kiwa position as Kairuruku - Iwi facilitator for the Iwi lead police & iwi family harm team, Whāngaia ngā pā harakeke.
(page 11, Transforming Whānau Violence - A conceptual Framework: Tamati Kruger Sept 2004) Recently Tui and another Ngāti Porou wāhine had the opportunity to skin a deer and cut it up together. The experience was able to uplift her mana and wairua. So much so that the following week she agreed to address her hinengaro and attend a counselling session.
During this time she has taken several wāhine who have experienced family harm into the ngahere. The ability to pass on all she has learnt has benefited not only their freezer but their wairua, hinegaro, tinana and whanaungatanga. The ability to prescribe our whānau with Kai Māori has shown that "If we address our whānau mana and wairua the ‘system’ is starting to recognise the value first the rest will naturally follow," says Tui. that Māori need Māori therapy, not only the western therapy they are often prescribed. Local hunters have heard of Tui's work and they donate wild poaka and tia to be Whakapapa, tikanga, kawa, Māori values, used for her Kai Māori programme with the constructs and practices can be used to wāhine. transform whānau from a state of violence and dysfunction to a state of wellbeing.

Taku Ao, Taku Ora Shearing (continued)
The shearers were always first to shower. By the time the rousies finished, the presser and sheepo were lucky to have warm water. Toilets were long drops … and you had to bring your own paper. For a quick wash at smoko, most just had a tap over a trough outside the shed. Some provided a basic basin. By the mid-1970s, with the support of the Workers Union, many old shearers’ quarters were replaced or upgraded. Finally, there were proper mattresses, lined and painted rooms, electricity, electric stoves, hot showers and fridges. Other than crutching, we worked nine-hour days starting at 5am; breakfast 7am to 8am; 1 ¾ hours’ work; smoko, ½ hr; another 1 ¾ hours’ work; lunch, 1 hr; 1 ¾ hr; smoko, ½ hr; last run of day, bell rung 5pm.
drying wet and damp clothes. Most cooks had a younger relative as their assistant. They definitely needed one but most were never considered to being paid.
While the Māori boss or ganger had their roles, a good cook was the queen, the most important member who made or broke a gang. I had some incredible ones – Molly, until Kiri started to walk, Nanny Oke, Nanny Kui Te Ota, Aunty Rii, Meimei Jones, Rawinia Te Kani, Uncle Peter, the pommy cordon bleu chef who came as a rousie and others. Nanny Oke and Kui Te Ota were old school. Nothing was wasted, every meal was delicious. All meals were big. Before a 5am start, a mug of tea was available. Breakfast was porridge, three or four chops with gravy and onions plus bread; smoko, sandwiches, parāoa koroua (cartwheel bread); lunch, stew with plenty of potato, kumara, pumpkin; smoko, the same as morning and always filling; dinner, a big meal of roast mutton with veges, alternating with cook’s creations and sometimes a pudding.

With shearing pants on the outside, the bags made comfortable seats. In hindsight, we should have patented it. In time, shearers started to bring their own cars and would cart the rousies they had time for.
Clothing Typical shearers’ working clothes included black woollen singlets, saddle tweed trousers and sack moccasins. Army and Air Force trousers were cheaper and more readily available from Barwicks store in Gisborne. Younger guys started wearing corduroy then jeans. These were OK but could only be worn for a day’s work. Until the advent of proper shearing jeans, now most used, all shearers used bowyangs, string or light strap under the knees to keep trousers secure on your legs and more grip on the sheep. Younger shearers wore cotton singlets in hot summers but the older ones stuck with wool. Very few shearers shore without a singlet. At the start of every shed, the owner or manager had to supply a jute fadge or good sacks for the shearers’ footwear. Every shearer made his own moccasins, which usually lasted that shed’s shearing. Some of the older men asked for the short-wool sheepskins from the mutton killed for the gang and made their mocks from these. They were a bit smelly for a while but, with socks, were OK. The advent of properly made leather and felt moccasins were welcome changes for the overall wellbeing of shearers.

Shearers who shore in my gangs
These individuals were all good representatives of the industry that most of them spent the greater part of their working lives in. They represent a typical cross section of the industry during the 1960s through to the late 1990s. Six brothers, four cousins, a son and a nephew followed Pop; all of them were good shearers. Quite a few others included those Elbert de Konig sent up from the South Island for the main shear. *Pop: taught me and all my brothers, started me as a contractor. *Sam Hokianga: an uncle, very strong, a top shearer, joined Army 1966. Butch: patient, consistent, good ganger, a dog and horseman. Henry Beauchamp: a good shearer and nice person *Jack Edwards: a tough old bugger but clean shearer. *Rangi Akroyd: was just another job. *Rangi Brown: a mate, top Māori boss. Shearer, fencer, good people skills.
But for others who enjoy it, it’s quite a lot of fun. For those who don’t like dirtying their hands, this is not the job for you. Because you get pretty paru shearing rams, lambs and ewes. Jobs vary in the shearing shed from ganger to the sheepo. For the ganger gets everyone up in the morning, while the sheepo gets the smoko.
*Deedum Wharehinga: a tally man, took an adult carpenter appretaship.
But, don’t forget the cook and fleecos because they are important too for they sweep the fleeces And cook up spuds and stew.
Duke: a good one, went to UK with LeRoy.
But there’s one man I forgot and he’s important I think, For he does the job like pressing bales and sewing up cut sheep. But don’t forget the person who’s behind this bunch of workers. For without his help and contacts they would surely be no hopers.
For those who know what I’m talking about you’ve probably guessed his name. For those who are less familiar I will now and explain. His work is hard and strenuous, it seems he never sleeps Some are good, some are bad, and some are real characters, The transistor radio brought the biggest So I guess you’ve guessed his name, it’s impact to shearing sheds.

*Joss Stewart: my big uncle, a mighty shearer, first man to shear 600 sheep, HB 1957. John: best shearer in family, went to Australia, shore to 65, still there. *Ivan: another good shearer, also a ganger for me. *Geoff: moody bugger, a cack hand, top shed shearer. Robbie and Gary: both top shearers, product of Bowen technique. *Tommy: a weekend man, always willing to help out, with his big smile. Peter Huna: really tried hard to be like Pop and his brothers. Blacky: typical Pop’s son, always a clean job, no money for contractor. Taane: very determined, went to Whanganui. Joe Reihana: a thousand blows, a V8 motor, big heart, I was his father figure. LeRoy: went to shearing school while at Otago to get a stand. *Jim Raroa: typical Nati, good gang man also handy fencer. Phil Ryan: a tidy reliable shearer, always had a goal. *Frank Nepia: average tallies, one and only 300 at Woodgreen Station. Peter Maukau: a character.

Te Whare Taonga o te Tairāwhiti | Tairāwhiti Museum Whakairo Rākau and Pou Rākau Re-housing Project
Since October 2020 Tairāwhiti Museum has been working collaboratively with Kaitieki ā-Iwi Claudette Collis and Poutu Puketapu in a project to undertake specialised cleaning and re-housing of taonga cared for by the museum. A number of taonga including maihi-raparapa (bargeboards), paepaeroa (front horizontal board) from three different wharenui (meeting houses), three pou/pā tūwatawata (palisade posts) and a pou whakapapa (genealogical post). These architectural components or taonga have been identified as originating from Ngāti Porou wharenui, the pou/pā tūwatawata from a Te Aitanga ā Hauiti pā (fortified village) and the pou whakapapa from the Cook bi-centenary. The focus of this project has been about improving the storage conditions of these taonga which, because of their size, have been inadequately stored in the past.
Kaitieki ā-Iwi Claudette Collis and Poutu Puketapu
The taonga have been cleaned, fumigated and put on display within Natalie Robertson’s exhibition ‘Tātara e maru ana: The sacred rain cape of Waiapu’ providing respective whānau, hapū, marae, iwi and the wider community with the opportunity to engage with the taonga before transferring them into their new permanent home in the Taonga Māori Store.

Tao Matarau Junior Darts Academy Leadership Programme During the last four weeks we have been running a leadership programme to enhance the knowledge our tamariki have of their pepeha, whakapapa and Reo Māori as well as learning from leaders in other sporting codes. The Programme also focuses on developing leaders for the future in whichever sport they pursue and life in general. So far they have had the opportunity to participate in badminton, trampolining and softball. The next big event will be the final Dart Tournament of the Year in Hamilton where they will be going up against some of the big guns from across the country. We wish them all the best. From all the Tao Matarau Academy Whānau, we wish you all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Bring on 2021.

Rangatiratanga: We placed Pou whenua firmly in the ground across our expansive tribal estate, led conversations of inquiry to address treaty legacy matters and engaged in disruptive conversations that challenged uninformed and complacent attitudes. We reclaimed our right to write our histories, to tell our stories and initiate international conversations on ownership of taonga, loan protocols and bilateral trade discussions. The Trust invested in securing opportunities for Rongowhakaata representatives to take their seats in key regional decision-making forums while negotiating places for hapū representatives on committees and panels overseeing developments that directly impact them.

Rongowhakaatatanga: The outreach we achieved through online reo classes and wānanga led to increases in the numbers of our people accessing information, resources and kōrero to support their own Rongowhakaata journeys of cultural discovery and connection. Technology now allows people to connect anytime, anywhere to anyone in the world from almost any device. The emphasis on engagement and participation is going to be critical to the success of major work streams such as the restoration and relocation of Te Hau ki Tūranga and rebuilding the cultural and physical infrastructure of our Marae.

Pipiwharauroa Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival 2020
A splendid Tairāwhiti Arts festival day continued...
Reflecting on "Ngā Mata o Te Ariki Tāwhirimātea" - The Maisey Rika Concert during the Tairāwhiti Arts Festival Last month I wrote a piece about my day, Saturday 10 October, 2020. A day enjoying various Tairāwhiti Arts Festival events. The culmination of the piece was experiencing the amazing Witi's Wāhine. But that wasn't the end of the richness experienced that day, there was more because I had tickets to Maisey Rika's concert, "Ngā Mata o Te Ariki Tāwhirimātea" held that night at the War Memorial Theatre. I had been to see Maisey Rika in 2017 at the Black Barn Vineyards in Havelock North. She was one of several artists, all amazing. That was a stunning night. Three years later, at the Tairāwhiti Festival, was the first time I would be attending a concert dedicated to Maisey Rika on her own. I looked forward to soaking in the new songs she had written during the 'lockdown' paying tribute to new knowledge unearthed by Dr. Rangi Mātāmua in regard to Matariki. Going back to that concert night, I remember walking slowly into the expansive foyer of the War Memorial Theatre, much more deliberately this time, trying harder still to read the dynamic visual art of Erena Koopu, complementary visual stories to the songs I am about to hear, songs I've not heard before from Maisey Rika, songs brought to life here in the deep blues of ocean and sky, in shining whites, sky reds, deep blacks and more. Important Māori history is held here in suspended animation, here in midair, so we can walk with the god of the wind amongst his stars. Though imposssible to take more than an overall reflection in this prelude is an incredible doorway into the concert we are about to experience.
Page 11
Karanga mai Ngā Mata o te Ariki Tāwhirimātea!
It was an unexpected pleasure to be seated upstairs among equally excited whānau. And because this is Maisey singing, we sit in eager anticipation that all of Maisey's waiata are going to be in Te Reo Māori and nourishment for all our taringa! Soft stage lighting awakens to reveal a smooth as silk band and sweet soulful backing singers.
To me, for the duration of the concert, Maisey seems to floats as a goddess, a star herself shining in the deep tranquility of a peaceful evening sky. For me, each waiata presented is medicine for the soul of this world. Each has its drama and uniqueness and wows the crowd in the moment and yet they each feel as connected to others as the stars in the constellation itself. Each waiata a living and breathing aspect of Matariki including the waiata about Tāwhirimātea himself, the breathe of life and the winds within our life giving atmosphere. Safe to say these songs will be played on repeat over summer. I think also about Maisey's lament for the disaster at Whakaari, White Island, how bitterweet, how achingly beautiful. And just when you think your concert is over, Maisey shares the spotlight with her band members, a reminder that the spirit of tuakana-teina and whānaungatanga is an integral part of who she is. He toa takitini, this concert has been a multi-scholarship experience from the lead-up to the concert to now, setting this concert goer on a journey of deeper learning about Tāwhirimātea me ona Mata Ariki. At the end of the evening, while I can't pretend to have absorbed every lyric yet nor matched any of Maisey's songs to the artworks of Erena Koopu, what I can say as an educator is that I know now that these important knowledges about Matariki, having been experessed through the written word, through dynamic painting and exquisite singing, are therefore able to be revisited, like the stars themselves with learning deepening with each visit. These songs and associated books and artworks can be seen therefore as tauira and taonga for kura, wānanga and individual learners alike to
also absorb the learning and, then, if they feel inclined, to add their own creativity as these wāhine toa have done in amplifying the learning within Dr. Rangi Mātāmua's orginal scholarly seed. And so I, inspired, attempt poetics... Seed in midwinter sky as they, the seeking fronds, feel the sound of distant suns rising together in the north-east, in the pre-dawn, in the page turned, as each, unique solar song calls, to the lamenting wind blindly threshing to history reclaimed to heightened knowing, to Tawhirmāteai, the children upon the earth begin to see their stars anew... Because of this concert I bought a copy of Matariki: The Star of the Year by Doctor Rangi Matamua (2017) as a gift for my uncle to further inspire his journey in writing. It is now time to buy a copy of my own to read this summer, upon Papatuanuku, under Pōhutukawa while listening to Maisey Rika sing the stars.
Reasonably priced, I purchased the comics: Ōtea Part 1 (Waipara, 2015), Ōtea Part 2 (Waipara, 2020), Pepeha (Waipara, 2020) and so the creative process information is now more accessible for me to gain learning from them should I wish to try writing a comic, especially one based on my own pepeha. Seeing local places in a comic capturing my interest to know more about the work the artist does. I begin researching to see that Zac Waipara also illustrated the recently launched children’s book, 'The Stolen Stars of Matariki: Nga Whetu Matariki i Whanakotia' written by Miriama Kamo. Fantastic.
For me this exhibit showed that one person's artistic presentation can become another person’s whare ako, place of learning. I love making zines by hand, with glue, scissors, craft paper, old magazines, but 'Pepeha' as a zine is not only stylish and slick, it is invitingly authentic and modern. A way back E ngā kaiwhakahaere ki Te Whare Taonga to capturing one's own history and perhaps to o te Tairāwhiti tēnā koutou.

Reflecting on "Pepeha - Words and Pictures" - A multimedia exhibit by Zac Waipara on show at the Tairāwhiti Museum during Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival 2020.
During the week of Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival I took a walk up to the Tairāwhiti Museum. There I visited an exhibit that intrigued me. It was called 'Pepeha' and belonged to artist, illustrator and university lecturer, Zac Waipara. When I visit exhibitions in art galleries and museums, unless I have done some homework, I am sensing what is presented through 'not-knowing' eyes and interpeting fresh what I see. Here at this exhibit I have such eyes, I don't know Zac Waipara nor his work, so I don't know what to expect and I am delightfully surprised. What captured me first was that the artist is a rarity in Te Ao Māori, someone who makes comics and zines and reflects Te Ao Māori and his own Pepeha in each. As a nanny of preschool boys who, I think, would love to read comics derived from local whakapapa, from their own whakapa, and, as a community writing tutor, this immediately heightened my interest. Furthermore, recognising the swing bridge at Manutuke in the video presentation above and in the Pepeha Zine also peaked my curiosity. The Ōtea comics in the museum are amazing with cool characters. It is obvious that much work has been put in to their full creation. What fun it must be to build up characteristics, whakapapa, names, personalities, place, narrative arc and from Māori story and tradition. A feature of the comics for this teacher is the notes section featuring the creative process that invites and guides me not just to consume the material but also have a go at producing comics from stories.

to create and leave stories based on local people and place as a legacy for tamariki and mokopuna to come, to enjoy. The subtle expanding of the product range here to include trading cards and digital video and animations of the cards, further displays the modern artistic skills and explorations of Zac Waipara. I hold two sets of trading cards that came free with my koha and purchase and I think about buying future action figures for my mokopuna. A start to reading the comics to them this holiday season. I thank Tama Waipara for inviting me to write about the exhibits at the museum and therefore being able to connect to the work of his tuakana, both as a former digital technologies teacher and as a current writing tutor. I hold great respect for the Pepeha exhibition, a small but inspirational set of reading material for leisure for children or adults and the example it holds for how to create a legacy of stories from one's own pepeha in really cool ways.

My mokopuna of three years and five years live in Upper Hutt. If they lived in Gisborne, I'd have taken them and they would have loved this play. I believe all the children who did attend and the adults accompanying them were thoroughly entertained throughout. From the teasing humour to the clever choreography, to the use of familiar children's toys, to the passionate acting and audience interaction, I observed happy, captured tamariki. Ngā mihi nui ki a Jandel J and The Funky Friends for creating such a riveting play, full of laughs, dancing and singing for young children to enjoy.
Four characters are involved in this play. The voice of mum, and three young brothers Justin, Tipua and Talia, all dressed in PJs seemingly just having gotten up and getting straight into playing with their toys. The play, part slapstick, part musical begins with Mum’s voice booming out, "boys, have you done your chores?" So begins the "clean up" scene of song and dance with the boys taunting and teasing each other while they sing and dance as they clean up causing the audience to laugh loudly at their antics. From this first musical scene it was easy to see that this
In the end they must work together to create their mother’s gift from their own talents that have their mother saying, "Thank you my beautiful boys." In case you get to see the play in the future, it is important the gift is not revealed.
After the clean up, the story elevated to urgency with the boys remembering at the last minute that one of their chores was to buy a gift for their mother's birthday which is TODAY! Fortunately they gather some coins to buy the gift and take off on an imaginary adventure. They discover in their room a magic portal to go through, a magic carpet ride, fortune and misfortune and monsters to conquer. Three gifts found against the odds and once secured they find their way back home, a journey during which, unfortunately, they lose the gifts.
ARENA HINEKURA SHERBURD WILLIAMS MP
Te Aitanga ā Māhaki, Tuhoe, Kai Tahu, Rongowhakaata
“… and I grieve a little, as many working parents before me have and many after me will I give up some time with Waioeka and Te Mākahi, three tomorrow— happy birthday, baby. They will no longer have a mum who is at every playdate and rocks them to sleep. I hope when they're older that they'll understand that there were other kids in Manurewa, kids I met in schools whose eyes light up when they meet a politician who looks and talks like them.” “Doing my best for the future of my kids means fighting for all families in Aotearoa.”
Pene Brown, Tama Brown, Michael and Maringi Brown-Sadlier moved to the parliamentary gallery to witness the pomp and ceremonials of parliament, Thursday 26 November 2020. We held a collective breath when Arena rose. I comment, Rangatahi o Aotearoa stand up, your time has come; qualities of youth, grit, wit with empathy fit to take our nation on a new wave under new stars bound for 2040. Māori, Pākehā and other cultures comfortable in our founding cultures to sculpt a future from within Tikanga. I see Labour, this government in particular bristling with fresh talent, Māori youth, te rangatahi on a new voyage,’ … anei te tira hou te haere nei.
and Angela Roberts, Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer. In total, forty MPs will begin new careers in the capital, including New Zealand's first African, Latin American and Sri Lankan Members of Parliament. Shanan Halbert of Rongowhakaata was another. “Dad was my biggest supporter, and I dedicated my 2020 campaign to him,” he said. In return, he promised he'd fight the cancer to be with me until election day. I last spoke to Dad the night before the election and I was able to tell him again, ‘I love you, Dad. “Mum called me the next morning that he had passed away in the night but had kept that promise.”
With a victory behind her, Arena paid tribute in her speech to the female Labour MPs she looked to the most, including Ardern, “With whom I learnt so many lessons. When she was a list MP in Auckland Central I saw first-hand how hard she worked to advance progressive policy while I was the president of the Auckland University Students Association," she said. "She stood out back then as a leader capable of connecting so well with young people. I love that she explicitly talks about kindness. In New Zealand politics we've never been brave enough to talk about the need for kindness in policy making.” Ardern has long emphasised the need for more kindness in politics. She told the BBC in 2018, “It takes strength to be an empathetic leader." In her address to the United Nations General Assembly in 2018 she told the world that New Zealand, under her leadership, is committed to being pragmatic, empathetic, strong and kind. She suggested that kindness is lacking across the globe. “She's shifted the goal posts and now we expect our politicians not just to be kind in their interactions but to put the welfare of people at the heart of political decisions."
If I had one wish, I’d wish to bottle this one moment in history for a tapu-lifting ceremony somewhere. So many uplifting moments over past months never to be forgotten. Arena is just one on the cusp of change, despite the obstacles they are poised, waiting in the changing room Arena also praised Labour MP Nanaia with progressive, creative and positive Mahuta, who was recently appointed as New Zealand's first female Foreign Minister and leadership. Ko wai hoki ka mohio, nera? hailed Mahuta as a ‘trailblazer.’ “Since I was At the 2020 General Election, the New a teenager, I have been inspired by Nanaia's Zealand public gave Labour a strong work in her community and in Parliament," mandate to govern alone, the first Party to said Arena. “My Dad's grandmother was achieve this under the MMP system in New born around 1870.

from the only book that his grandparents had, the Bible. "He was raised by his Māorispeaking grandparents on the shores of the Ōhiwa Harbour in a raupō whare with a dirt floor, in a place that is sacred to the Hāhi Ringatū and to Te Kooti.” “Dad’s grandmother knew just three English words well, Michael Joseph Savage. “These were people whose first touch-point with the State, after years of not being extended the rights of every other citizen, was the extension of the old age pension to Māori by Savage in the first Labour Government." “Every family in Aotearoa New Zealand,” she says, “Deserves a warm, dry home, bringing down barriers to healthcare, and combat domestic violence. “Anger, fear, and division, is no way to lead, gentleness can be expected of the strong and cruelty, fear and bullying from the weak. “Having courage and humility to do the job allows others to prosper is vital for me. “I believe in the politics that empowers ordinary people to come together, organise and build power in their communities and to shape our country and build a better life for themselves and their families. Labour has always been the political party that stands for progressive change and I've seen the power of this change in four generations of my own family.” Members of Parliament know, and we know or should know, that their work is strewn with hard work, harder still when you are Māori, even harder when you are a young Māori mum. But, Arena knows why she’s there, who she’s there for and who put her there. She knows her reward is often to be mocked, scrutinised and generally held in low esteem and other indignities of being an MP. I know too she will not be put down nor will she put down opponents as fools or liars. Democracy, the ballot box’ is the lifeblood that powers ordinary people in our communities, virtue and experience drawn together by hard work, discipline and reverence. I see in her a gentle spirit, te ngawari not lost on others, nor does she imply that her opponents are fools or liars those who disagree with her are opponents, hoa riri not enemies and recognises her own limitations and accepts that no one is perfect. I see the Māhaki trait of a gentle spirit of giving, ‘te ngawari’ not lost on others. We live in a time of uncertainty that may go on for a while, maybe years. She was asked, “How do we make life richer?” Her reply, “Think richness is a good start.” So, let’s make life richer by thinking smarter and richer. Let’s think about virtue as an experience drawn together by hardwork, discipline and reverence. Arena concludes, “My Uncle Charlie Wirangi Pera keeps me grounded by reminding me I am of Te Whānau ā Taupara and Ringatū,” she smiles. Nā Haare Williams

This is my personal thank you to the band of dedicated workers that kept Turanga Health’s heart beating this year. Early and deserved praise must go to the nurses and kaiāwhina working in the community during the lockdowns. But behind the scenes an army of Turanga Health staff also pulled together to help with the logistics of creating and distributing thousands of hygiene buckets and kai parcels to whānau around the rohe. Administrative staff also worked hard to keep Turanga Health running. I also want to personally thank all Turanga Health funders and governance kaitiaki for the part they played during this most extraordinary 2020 year. Reweti Ropiha | Turanga Health CEO
