Ngāi Tahu tribal wānanga on mining, oil and gas

By

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu invites Ngāi Tahu whānau to attend and participate at a tribal wānanga on mining, oil and gas activities in the takiwā on 4 – 5 October at Puketeraki Marae, Puketeraki. 

The tribal wānanga will give an overview of the situation and is aimed at facilitating discussion, sharing current knowledge and identifying gaps in knowledge among Ngāi Tahu about mining, oil and gas activities in the takiwā.  This is in order to prepare for increased activity in new areas of the takiwā, and new activity that is untested in the takiwā.

He first attended the taiaha wānanga in October 2012 and the weekend at Tuahiwi was his fourth.
“They’ve completely changed my life. I was pretty much brought up the Pākehā way and I’ve been trying to find my Māori roots for some time. I saw my sons picking up Māori culture at school and that motivated me to begin my own journey.” [Read more…]
