AbstractAbstract


Whanau have the solutions to the changes that need to occur in their lives.

The Maori workforce needs to be bold, be smart, be creative, be strategic, be sympathetic, but most of all BE Maori.

Kaupapa Maori approaches need to form the foundation of their work with whanau.

A collective workforce will be mobilised, a movement will be formed, but more importantly whanau will be transformed.

Messages from the Messages from the Wananga...Wananga...Whanau Ora promotes whanau, hapu and iwi

as drivers of positive change.Our tipuna passed down their knowledge

through iwi korero, waiata, karakia and haka. These are situations unique to our

people. They allow us to revitalize the essence of who we are.

Whanau Ora heralds a transformation in our own lifetime. We leave behind the industry of misery to focus on how to achieve the best outcomes for whanau.


Messages cont...Messages cont...The transformation is based on the premise that

whanau are the best people to take ownership of their solutions; whanau must be empowered and supported as a whole, to achieve the best outcomes.

This is a shift from what WE will do for you, to what whanau will do for themselves.

Whanau Ora is about developing confidence in one another; respecting our differences, working together.

Singing the same song so that whanau are not confused. It is not about the ching, ching, or about the bling, bling. We just want to make the World dance. Wheturangi Walsh-Tapiata- CEO Te

1. Te Ao Maori: Cultural constructs to be

applied

as practice tools. Whakapapa: collectivity

and collective consciousness

Tikanga: collective practice

Wairua: self realisation Tapu: self esteem Mauri: inner values:

influence and identity Mana: outer values: power

and influence Te Reo: our identity

2. Te Ao HurihuriThe contemporary

influences

that prohibit or undermine the

practice of cultural constructs

from Te Ao Maori. The most

significant of these is

colonisation and its associated

outcomes.

3. Transformative practice...the ability to change beliefs and

behaviour. Transformation of behaviour is brought about through applying cultural constructs from Te Ao Maori and taking into account environmental and contextual interference and influences from Te Ao Hurihuri.
