  6. The Challenge • If Māori ‘cannot control the definition we cannot control meanings and the theories which lie behind these meanings.' Linda Te Tuhiwai Smith, 1995

  7. Obligation • ….. kia mau ki te whakapono, kia mau ki te aroha, ki te ture ….. • Potatau Te Wherowhero, 1860 • Hold fast to the Faith, Valued Relationships, and the High Principles of our Humanity

  8. Acknowledging Te Ao Māori • Māori thinking, processes and applications accorded a valued place in all Wānanga activities. • TWoA consciously developing ways of doing this. • Requires rethinking / repositioning of Māori knowledge, wisdom and applications in TWoA.

  11. Framework • Opportunity to add value to the old in a new time. • To locate, position, name and language: • Practises and thinking that underpin TWoA kaupapa; • Points of uniqueness that make TWoA what it is; • Points named from ‘within’.

  12. Contextualisation • Localised sovereignty. • Proposes multiple spaces/sites of activity. • Where people, dreams and kaupapa are worked on.

  13. Hei Whakaarotanga • ‘Ko tāku tēnei ki ā koe, hangaia, houtia ōku nei whakaaro, kia hāngai ki tōhau na kaupapa’ • ‘Mine to you is, recreate and rewrite my ideas and thoughts to your purpose. P. Freire 1998
