What encouraged you to attend the whānau engagement hui?
I like to contribute and love to hear what others have to say. I know it is difficult to engage with whānau and also recognise the importance of Kanohi ki te kanohi engagement.
Why is it important for whānau to have their say in iwi priority planning such as this?
Thejobofthetrusteesisadifficultoneand more input from whānau makes the job a bit easier - if they know what whānau want it is easier to plan for.
HEARING FROM OUR WHĀNAU
What would you like to see the iwi doing for you and your whānau in 30 years?
After seeingwhat thePueblo do inNewMexico I canseearealopportunityforourpeopleof Ngāti Tama to benefit greatly from the treaty settlements. With a small membership base of 500 it could be really easy to be able to reach out and help whānau as groups achieve their dreams and aspirations - on an individual basis thatwillstrengthenourwhānau,hapūandIwias a collective.
