Education Engagement Specialist: I help teachers and school leaders raise engagement & achievement
You know that having a relationship with our Treaty is important, but you haven’t had to really think about it until the last year and now you’re wondering: How do I get up to speed? How do I understand why we have a situation in our country where Māori are very clear about what the treaty means to them and are holding strong as they have been for the last 180 years, but us non-Māori are still working it out, perhaps for the first time, what our treaty relationship is? How do I show my support for Māori? How do I get a clear understanding of where the Treaty sits within me and the community I am connected to? Gone are the days when we could turn away and not engage with our treaty. Māori are protesting the Fast Track consenting legislation. The Waitangi tribunal asked for the minister to come and speak to them about section 7AA before it was removed from the Oranga Tamariki policy. There has been a letter sent to the King, because his subjects are being unlawful. Māori have been standing strong on honouring their part in our treaty for nearly 200 years, and they are still doing it now. They are standing strong together with unity for their people for Tino Rangatiratanga. If you want to understand better, if you want to be able to show your support for our treaty and for what it means to Māori then keep following me. #cultural capability #cultural competence #cultural intelligence #leadership Kia ora, I’m Lisa Heald.
