Funding for Wanganui research comes at critical time for health reform
Two Kaupapa Māori research centres in Whanganui are among four independent research organisations that will share $38.3 million in Health Research Council (HRC) funding over the next seven years.
Iwi-owned Whakauae Research Services and Whanganui-based Māori health and environment research institute Te Atawhai o te Ao are the only Kaupapa Māori research centres in the country to receive the funding.
"In health and other sectors, people are saying the same thing: that Māori voices must be heard, Māori have to be in the driver's seat, Māori need to be determining their own futures."
Boulton said the end game is equity.
"At least equity – equity of outcomes for Māori. In every socio-economic indicator that you can think of, we have to be at least enjoying the same level of life and happiness as our non-Māori counterparts.
"And then there are other things that we as Māori should be able to enjoy without having to justify or rationalise or make excuses for. There are things that we do as Māori that we should be able to do unencumbered and unhindered."....

Marae to host ceremonies as part of council’s new te reo plan
Citizenship ceremonies in Invercargill are set to take place at marae, as part of the Māori Language Strategy Plan the Invercargill City Council approved this week.

When will all of the treaty partnership crap finally be exposed for the myth that it is? Why don't Opposition MPs and the gutless mainstream media stand up against the racist propaganda. Kiwialan.
if i ever become eligible for citizenship, it is possible for me to receive the documents by post and send an acknowledgement in english instead of having to visit a marae and converse in a language i don't know?
"Intergenerational trauma" anybody have any idea what that is meant to mean?
Intergenerational Trauma: It basically means by way of race one has a fake sense of entitlement above their peers in the asylum. Usually characterised by an inflated ego & frequently attends race appraisal events. The individual has chosen to summon demons from the past & spook the living day lights out of you if entitlement is either delayed or wose not met, such is the supposed trauma. It can be random indeed. Even an Exorcist finds it pointless getting out of bed to dispel such nonsense. Apparently the solution is to throw confetti at the individual to dispel any form of evil next time it rears it ugly head.
when a parent beats the child, the child suffers 'regular' trauma. when the child grows up and becomes a parent and beats his/her child, that child suffers 'intergenerational' trauma.
