He hui taumata - Journeying towards a Tiriti-led, mātauranga informed Aotearoa

When?

A half day online hui taumata, 9.30 -1pm on Wednesday 31st. May

Who's hosting and running the kaupapa?

The Auckland Co-Design Lab is an innovation and learning initiative hosted by Auckland Council in partnership with eight central government agencies. We help nurture conditions for equity and intergenerational wellbeing in Aotearoa.

This kaupapa builds on our ongoing Practice Foundations Series. We support the public sector to build capability in complexity, place-based and equity informed ways of working. It is in this work that we start to grapple with what it means to be Te Tiriti-led and mātauranga-led.

What is the purpose?

Public sector teams are on a collective journey towards a Tiriti-led, mātauranga Māori informed Aotearoa. This symposium is an opportunity to pause and reflect. How are we navigating these shifts? What are Crown agencies, teams and leaders grappling with in bringing a Te Tiriti, equity and complexity lens to their everyday mahi? What are the capabilities and conditions that need to be enabled? What does it look like from the perspectives of Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti?

Who is this for?

This is a symposium aimed at people in the public sector, their partners and others that are working to deliver equity through this approach.

How will it work?

This is a live conversation in Aotearoa and we hope to make a small contribution to the kōrero from what we are learning with our partners.

There will be an opportunity to:

Connect with others grappling with this in Crown settings
Hear from other Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti around their experiences of this journey
Work with others to map where we are at currently and what helps us navigate forward

Two teams will share some of their learning so far as a platform for a collective discussion. Justine Pivac-Solomon (Hvartska / Eire (Koroātia/Aerani) and Te Miri Rangi (Tūwharetoa, Te Arawa) from the ACC Injury Prevention group will share some of the work around the Waka Hourua model of practice that is emerging from our learning partnership with them.

Tania Faulkner (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngaiterangi, Ngāpuhi descent) will talk to her role in Tuitui te Hono - a Māori outcomes research programme in Inland Revenue. She will be able to share on the work being undertaken through Te Mana Rangahau (the Māori Research team) and Te Kāhui Tūhono (the Māori strategy team). This work is specifically to support IR to be a good Treaty partner by articulating and implementing te ao Māori principles, concepts and practices in the mahi at Inland Revenue. Tania will also be joined by Dr Debbie Goodwin (Ngā Tūhoe, Te Whakatōhea) to help identify what is being learned.

How much will it cost?

There is a small charge of $35.00 to register to help us manage numbers, and cover costs to capture and share what is generated over our morning together. If this cost is a barrier to you attending let us know and we can work something out!
