Celebrating the health of our rangatahi in Kura Kaupapa Māori settings is an important way of being able to include our young people in the discussion around hauora Māori, alongside healthy, fun activities that will equip whānau to live long, healthy lives.

Talking about health with our young people should be fun shouldn’t it?

In December a number of organisations and kaimahi came together to help celebrate health and wellbeing alongside our rangatahi from the kura, our future leaders. While health is often seen as being linked to doctors, nurses and healthcare, it is also about sharing healthy kai, healthy physical activity and being able to enjoy ourselves while we learn about all the things we can do to keep ourselves feeling well.

It is also an opportunity to learn about the people we have in our communities who can help us to access the services our families might want to connect with. Bringing health and wellbeing to school settings means that we can come out to you, instead of you having to come and find us. The team from Pegasus Health, Partnership Community Workers, CDHB Māori Health and Oral Health Services, Community & Public Health, and staff and whānau from the kura had a fantastic morning together with a range of activities.

We would like to thank the kura, including our awesome rangatahi and all of the organisations and kaimahi who gave their time during 2015 to share their knowledge with our young people and whānau. By working together we can all contribute to the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Vision for whānau enterprise Keefe Robinson-Gore has always had a passion for kai, where it comes from and how it is prepared and after attending the social innovation programme Live the Dream he feels one step closer to fulfilling his long-term goal of building a self-sustainable thriving ecosystem at his marae.

Keefe (Ngāi Tahu – Ngāti Iraheku), is keen to establish his dream project at his home marae Ōnuku covering everything from vegetables and horticulture to honey, with everything working harmoniously together but also in isolation to outside resources. He recognises the importance of such an environment given the recent earthquake events in the Canterbury region and the need for accessible supplies.

Live the Dream allowed Keefe, a qualified chef, to see the visual progression of his idea throughout the 9-week period. He was able to put his thoughts on paper and work towards a tangible business plan.

The intensive full-immersion programme runs over the course of three weeks. Participants between the ages of 18 and 30 are given the opportunity to connect with other young social innovators and inspirational industry leaders through workshops and mentoring.

Tātou ki te whutupōro“Ōtākou” “Karawhuia Kotimana” and “Rutua” were heard booming from the North Stand as the Highlanders took on the Hurricanes on Saturday 5 March at the Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Kia Kūrapa ki Tuahiwi Ka tū tēnei wānaka reo hai te 10-12 o Maruaroa (Hune) ki te marae o Tuahiwi. Tēnā tuhia he īmera ki a Darren Solomon mēnā e hiahia ana koe, koutou rānei ki te haere mai. Kia Kūrapa is a safe, supportive learning environment for beginner to intermediate Te Reo Māori learners. For those whānau or individuals who are interested in attending Kia Kūrapa ki Tuahiwi, check out our website: www.kmk.maori.nz or contact Darren Solomon: darren.solomon@ngaitahu.iwi.nz; or call 0800 KAI TAHU (0800 524 8248).

There were over 40 KMK supporters cheering for the Highlanders, amped by the electric atmosphere of the first home game for 2016.

Tātou ki te whutupōro is a KMK initiative that brings whānau together to learn some rugby reo and strengthen our networks with other whānau who have a passion and interest in learning and using te reo as an intergenerational language. It was awesome to gather together for this kaupapa and of course the win for Otago capped a great night off.

It encourages its applicants to identify a social ‘problem’ and work towards understanding the issue and how the solution can be best met. In the past, participants arrive on the programme with an existing vision of what they are trying to achieve. This year, applicants were given the opportunity to develop that idea into a venture during the 9-week programme.

The idea of a self-sustaining environment on the marae has long been a passion for Keefe. He attributes his connection to the land at Ōnuku to his grandmother, who instilled the sense of belonging in him at a young age.

The driving factor behind the idea was that it has been done before. Keefe recalls hearing the stories of his whānau living on Banks Peninsula in the 1940s. From picking their orchard and selling it at the local market, to his great-grandmother making the butter from scratch in the morning. These stories resonated with Keefe, and continue to inspire him on his journey.

“We’ve lived off the land as people and as whānau, why can’t it be done again? For me, it’s about that connection with the land where you grow your food and taking a more holistic or symbiotic approach to what you eat.”

An initial starting place for Keefe is to utilise what is currently on the land and follow his grandmother’s recipes to create preserves and chutneys, all of which he considers a closely guarded secret. Having the ability to use the natural resources surrounding his marae provides a strong platform for his ideas in the future.

Keefe is currently on secondment with the Whakapapa Unit at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, another opportunity that he has embraced that allows him to apply the skills and ideas learned from his intense 9-week Live the Dream programme.

“Kai pakē mai tō reo ki a au” = Don’t use that tone with me“Kaua e unu taniwha” = Don’t bite off more than you can chew

The new face of Te Pānui RūnakaIn coming to work for Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu Sarah Fulham feels she is keeping a promise she made to her late granddad, Maurice Nutira and she is delighted to be editing Te Pānui Rūnaka, a magazine he loved and felt connected to.

Sarah (Ngāi Tahu – Ngāti Irakehu), remembers her granddad watching the letterbox every month waiting for his latest issue of Te Pānui Rūnaka.

“He was very proud of TPR and he’d go through each new magazine pointing out whānau he knew. He loved looking at it and I think he would have been proud of me editing it,” she says.

Sarah has always had a passion for all things Ngāi Tahu and that was nurtured by her granddad, Maurice. He had close ties to his marae at Wairewa and he shared many of his stories about his early experiences in Little River and Birdlings Flat with her.

“Granddad talked a lot about his ties to Wairewa. He was very involved with the tuna heke there and his pōua is pictured in a number of early photographs that captured the Wairewa tuna harvest,” says Sarah.

“He was also well known from his time as Māori Studies lecturer at Lincoln University, a position he retired from in the 1990s.

“He always pictured me working for the iwi. I wish he was here to see that. He passed away in 2013, but I know he’s always with me.”

Sarah’s own background focuses on marketing. After she completed a Diploma in Contemporary Photography at the Design and Arts College in Christchurch in 2007, she applied for the first intake of the Ngāi Tahu Tourism Scholarship, which saw her complete a Bachelor of Tourism management, majoring in marketing.

She graduated in 2012 and then spent five months travelling around Europe before taking up a job at Harcourts gold in Papanui, as a marketing support specialist.

Over the next three years she progressed up the ranks to become the company’s Digital Services Manager; and now, in her role as Te Pānui Rūnaka editor, she is looking forward to meeting all the people her granddad has talked about, along with all those who send in their words every month.

“TPR has so much potential but I’m very aware of the huge connection whānau feel to the magazine. It means so much to a lot of people and I’m honoured to have my name associated with it – and I look forward to receiving the next round of submissions,” she says.

Tawini has a clear vision for her future, so it’s no surprise that she has worked really hard during all her summer breaks and holidays so she could pay her university fees. “My parents signed me up (to Whai Rawa) when I was young and always talked to me about saving. My Dad made us kids give him half our wages in High School to pay for our first year at University.” Tawini goes on to say, “It’s quite hard to own a house these days, so I found it reassuring that my Whai Rawa account was growing and would help me to own my first home one day.”

Te Pūtahitanga o Te WaipounamuOn 23 February Kākano Café and Cookery School opened at 100 Peterborough Street in Christchurch – a first of its kind. Funded primarily by Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu, the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency for the South Island, Kākano Café and Cookery School is proudly whānau focused – whānau learning, whānau benefitting from healthy lifestyles and whānau living sustainably off the land.

Jade Temepara (Ngāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) is the visionary behind the project. She has boundless energy and a passion for growing her own food, and the skills and healing that comes with that. Over the last 16 years, Jade and her husband Wiki have demonstrated a selfless belief in the value of growing kai, saving seeds, cooking, preserving, pickling, fermenting and harvesting food that is not just great for the puku but nurturing for the soul.

As the founder of the ‘Hand Over a Hundy’ project, Jade grew in confidence and began helping families and particularly young parents to begin growing food as a more healthy option. The success of ‘Hand over a Hundy’ was followed by a period of exploration in garden design. Jade has won various awards in the Ellerslie International Flower Show, featured in numerous articles, TED talks and garden publications, and has won the New Zealand Gardener of the year award.

All of these areas led her to dream bigger, and create plans for a large central city urban farm/garden where she could run a café, hold workshops, tend the gardens and start a seed saving bank.

The whānau are actively involved in the café, including the five tamariki and Pōua Colin, who first planted the seed, literally, for the garden of vision.

Life in Vacant Spaces has supported the scheme by giving the space to set up their site. The Christchurch City Council provided support to enable Kākano Café to have chemical-free garden beds and an action plan to reduce waste, through the opportunity of the Sustainable Initiatives Fund. Hale Compound Conditioning and Help for the Homeless have also played an important role in shaping the ideas into reality.

Kākano Café is much more than a café. The café transforms at night into a space for workshops, seminars and cooking classes. Each Friday night Kākano Café will host a movie screening and a hāngī. These are whānau-friendly events to promote connections across the community. On Wednesdays there will be wahine evenings – time for women to come together, be inspired by an amazing speaker and share some delicious mānuka tea, a beetroot smoothie and a tītī sandwich. The cooking school helps to build a sense of community, adding to the knowledge bank of skills and educational opportunities. The urban farm will enable collective efforts to grow affordable food, to build a whānau of growers and producers.

The kaupapa is all about creating the optimum conditions for whānau to thrive. The kai is affordable, healthy, free-range, fresh, 100% nutrient dense, organic and spray-free. It’s all focused on feeding the whenua, the culture and the whānau - manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, whakawhanaungatanga. It is, indeed, a dream come true.

Artwork for Te Pānui Rūnaka Each issue, we showcase a piece of artwork created by a Ngāi Tahu artist – will it be yours that features on the next cover of Te Pānui Rūnaka?

While we already have an existing collection, we would like to add to it and ask that whānau send in their artwork. A submission should include a good quality photograph of a painting, sculpture, or a drawing – the options are endless.
