Auckland Uni pilots rongoā programme to help Māori recover faster from injury
A new programme designed to help Māori recover faster from injury is being piloted at the University of Auckland.
Named Ngākau Oho, the university and ACC programme aims to implement rongoā Māori (traditional healing practices) in mainstream healthcare systems in Aotearoa.
“We would argue that healthcare inequities will persist unless there is also a move towards attributing equal value to customary Māori forms of healing.”....

Collaboration with Canadian indigenous peoples sets tone for He Puapua
One of the authors of the controversial He Puapua report says the indigenous collaboration arrangement signed this week between Aotearoa and Canada offers an opportunity for Aotearoa to learn how to realise tino rangatiratanga.
Dr Claire Charters, (nō Ngāti Whakaue, Ngā Puhi, Tūwharetoa, Tainui) from the University of Auckland's Faculty of Law said He Puapua had been commissioned by the government to look for ideas to implement the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Rights, which a previous government had signed New Zealand up to.
Dr Claire Charters, (nō Ngāti Whakaue, Ngā Puhi, Tūwharetoa, Tainui) from the University of Auckland's Faculty of Law said He Puapua had been commissioned by the government to look for ideas to implement the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Rights, which a previous government had signed New Zealand up to.
A few of the ideas put forward in He Puapua were separate Māori courts and an upper house of Parliament but the likelihood of these ideas being taken seriously enough to be implemented is unknown at this stage.
“There is also an understanding that Te Tiriti o Waitangi hasn’t been honoured and there is that sense that something needs to be done.”
Charters said there had been studies from Harvard University that concluded indigenous people did better when there was some form of self-government or authority over things Māori.

Who’s telling the truth on mandatory te reo Māori for teachers?
“The Government needs to front up and tell the people of New Zealand the truth on a very simple question: do they want to make speaking Māori compulsory for holding a practicing certificate as a teacher, or not?” says ACT Leader David Seymour.
“This morning, two spokespeople contradicted each other and themselves over the question. Last week Teaching Council CEO Lesley Hoskin told the inquiry into abuse in state care that “The reality is that at some point, we're going to have to say no longer can you have a certificate to teach in Aotearoa New Zealand without that competence.”.....
Teaching Council chief executive Lesley Hoskin told the hearing principals already must verify that teachers were improving their knowledge of te reo and mātauranga Māori.

Re the Kingitanga carry on...if anyone, Luxon included, thinks that co governance/partnership will ensure that the common good will be served efficiently and without conflict they have not observed the operation of the Tupuna Maunga Authority in Auckland. Co governance is maori control. At the higher levels maori act as a coordinated bloc. Nowadays for fear of cancellation, and bearing in mind the tikanga of utu, almost no one within the system dares challenge maori proposals. Only a few totally independent mostly retired persons see themselves in a position to question. And, very likely, very many voters.
I totally agree with John Lehmann. Why do we all have to pretend to be Maori? Biculturism is fine as long as it is not force fed as it is being done. For example at Hawke's Bay hospital the signage is in Maori first, in larger font and bold type. The English is so small it is hard to read. Just a total piss-off. I like Maori culture and have done two Te Reo courses but now I am anti. I am not a Maori so don't need to pretend to be one. Just so I can speak a language that is not mine to some other PC Pakeha at work or to try to be PC.
Hahaha, this is hilarious.
Teachers must be competent in Te Reo. How about competent in real stuff that actually helps kids, English, Maths, reading and writing would be a start.
My sides are still hurting from reading this, it's the best joke I've heard from the Teachers Union in ages.
And what will the Teachers Union do if the teachers are not learning Te Reo quickly enough, sack em? put them on a accelerated learning program with pom poms and face painting.
Re Aug 22, as with so many public agencies, departments and institutions, the Teaching Council seems to have been totally captured by the artful conniving coordinated pro maori movement. Their large staff seems to devote the bulk of their energies to the cause. Even the govt seemed displeased as it recently did not top up their budget shortfall. Teachers were canvassed for new fees, but of course few or none were so foolhardy as to question the extravagant pro maori spend and so incur cancellation, or even de registration. It does not seem to occur to the Council that the major downtown in NZ student achievements correlates with the obsessive preoccupation, at the urging of the Council, with the obsolete stone age language and matters and traditional attitudes maori.
My gosh, how long before msm media start calling the english language a racist language and that all nzers who choose to learn english are racist colonisers also? I would not even be surprised right now. It is just getting beyond ridiculous.
That nz herald article saying your grandchild will need to speak te reo in order to get a good job? Oh really? Why would any young person with a brain choose to stay here? They will be off at 20. Plus how do you attract immigrant workers if they have to speak te reo?
choose to live and work here oncw tgey are an adult?
Aug23. If ACT wishes to romp in at the next election, on the subject of te reo they will have to be more forcefully against than believe "maths, science and English are equally important". in the modern world, the post stone age subjects are far more important than that.
Aug 25. If the shrewd not untalented Tame Iti had abandoned stone age language early he might now be up there with Stephen O'Reagan and the like. Maori do not r mention that the policy of discouragement of te reo was at the insistance of senior maori.
Expenditure on such a non constructive crude mural is absurd. Others should be financed to express logical counter sentiments.
For modern world realists, a Dun Mihaka salute would be an appropriate response to the mural.
Re tvnz weather: i have noticed that they seem to be combining 2 languages into one, forming a new kind of pigeon english/maori language, inserting a maori word into an english sentence etc which is surely an insult. This is not something you see in other countries with more than one official language. In sth africa for example they have english, afrikaans and zulu. They don't have news people over there mixing all 3 languages into one. Why are tvnz doing this? Weird
