ASPIRATIONS
WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER TO GET THE BALL ROLLING.
In the Ngāti Ruapani mai Waikaremoana Aspirations Movie, we interview whānau. They tell us of their dreams to create a prosperous and vibrant Waikaremoana for their mokopuna. This movie departs from the typical negotiation settlement process but reminds the trustees of what is truly important.
YOUR ASPIRATIONS
When we screened the Aspirations Movie at Te Waimako Marae in 2020, we sat with whānau to hear their aspirations. What we learned was valuable in approaching the negotiation talks with the Crown. To read the aspirations from whānau, click on the + sign.
MĀRIRI - Identity
Our Waikaremoana Identity brings us healing.
Ngāti Ruapani mai Waikaremoana will benefit only when we learn to put our differences aside for the good of a common goal. This is perhaps our biggest challenge, but when done we stand to gain more, and the healing has begun.
This is what you told us...

Tamaiti ako i te kainga.
Expanding, future, sustainability.
RITENGA - Manaaki
We begin to renew our respect for each other.
Like our taiao we must learn to live in harmony with one another. But first we must care for the taiao, and this includes making time to sit, observe and learn. Because when we do this we begin to understand how our taiao survives, regenerates and heals.
This is what you told us...
That matter most to you.

KAHA - Mana
We are strengthened.
We cannot rely on the Crown systems to bring us into a space of prosperity and vibrancy. It is time for us to re-learn our systems to bring about change that is sustainable and return us back to being prosperous and vibrant.
This is what you told us...
What we need to do to enact mana motuhake.
Self-determination, oranga, mind, body, soul.
Consciousness, maramatanga. Mahi tahi.
Authority in who we are.
Bring our ways back to life.
No deflection, be responsible.
Our own systems, justice, health.
