Ringa hāpai:
Di Grennell
My journey with He Whakaputanga has been a personal one. I hold the memories of many tautohetohe, hikoi and wānanga. My upbringing with my grandparents meant I heard kōrero about te Tiriti from an early age, and each year we worked our farm to transport kai to the Waitangi commemorations. As I grew older and became more politically aware in the late 1970’s, I was privileged to sit alongside kaumātua who also spoke about He Whakaputanga, to be their driver, attend hui and listen to the kōrero. I look forward to sharing stories of my experiences with kaumātua for whom He Whakaputanga was a lived reality, and who met as he wakaminenga. I hold to the vision that was spoken of, ‘he whenua rangatira.’
Out of respect for our kaikōrero and ringa hāpai, we have not translated karakia, pepeha from Te Reo Māori to English.
