Awanui Te Huia

Koianei ētahi whakaaro mō te whakaraora reo. Some thoughts this wiki o te reo...

This looks like an awesome kaupapa

@TarahNikora @Breakfaston1 Oh ngā mihi nui e te tuakana 💟🙏🏽

He wāhine rangatira 💃💃 what an absolute delight to watch Breakfast TV this morning seeing Hana-Rawhiti and Awanui hearing their kōrero. You don’t see that very often. Great way to start a Thursday. #MāoriOra @AwanuiTH @hana_rawhiti @Breakfaston1

New book spotted in the wild.

Hobsons Pledge white supremacist propaganda on the front page of our most widely read national newspaper. While they don't have a huge amount of organic support, they have heaps of money and mates in high places. Unsurprisingly its landlords and capitalists all the way down.

@ElisaLoncon Yes, we were so fortunate to have you come and teach too! Thank you for sharing with us 🙏🏽🤍

Grateful for the opportunity to spend time with Dr @ElisaLoncon the former President of the Chilean Constitutional Convention. Inspiring to learn more about her work on indigenous rights and language activism. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe e te mareikura Dr Loncón🙏🏽.

Thanks to the Capes @CraigNich and @MatthewOMeagher for allowing us to come together.

By now we know thru western media the name, age, photos, & story of each of the 4 Israelis who were retrieved from Gaza, but no one knows the name let alone the story of a single one of the 200+ Palestinians whom Israel massacred in the process. Blatant dehumanisation.

@ChioneNgozi Kia ora, I'm pretty sure residents can make submissions. I can check this too. 🙏🏽 Not just tangata whenua. We encourage tangata Tiriti to make submissions opposing this bill.

@AwanuiTH Thank you for highlighting! The only thing that is not clear to me yet - is WHO is eligible to make a submission...I am guessing citizens (not residents), only? Tangata Whenua only? Not finding the answer yet. I will look again later. parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/how-t…

A new bill that proposes that "Taumata Arowai must not have regard to the hierarchy of obligations contained in Te Mana o te Wai" effectively sidelining hapū/iwi voices in water related decisions, is open for submissions today closing next Thursday. At this point...

“I wrote the book in te reo Māori first. For me, that's a whakamana o te reo: an elevation and validation of our reo. The English version is the translation. Te reo Māori wasn’t the second thought here. It was the first.” — Qiane Matata-Sipu @qianephoto   e-tangata.co.nz/arts/qiane-mat…

There's something about liberal democracy, particularly in settler colonial states like NZ, that stigmatises and punishes any militant decolonial movement as inherently wrong, even though Indigenous peoples have the right to resist colonialism. This pacifist context does not help return stolen land.

I repeat, one of the greatest myths of Western modernity, capitalist development, and Eurocentrism is the belief that the colonial hell imposed on others is the road to civilization.

That 7-month old baby who has just died due to malnutrition in Gaza,,, 7 months!!! He is as old as the genocide is. He was born when the genocide started. The genocide was everything he had lived. Hunger & dehydration is everything he experienced in his entire existence. Imagine

Kanak youth being shot at from French military helicopters in Kanaky. French are not winding down the violence AT ALL. #FreeKanaky

The depth of knowledge shared with us by our colleagues here was so appreciated. We learned so much. Tēnā koutou katoa.
