Your Aspirations
"We need to come together to get the ball rolling."
In the Ngāti Ruapani mai Waikaremoana Aspirations Movie, we interview whanau members who share their dreams of building a thriving and vibrant Waikaremoana for their mokopuna.
This movie takes a different approach from the usual negotiation settlement process and is a reminder of what is important in this settlement.
What you said
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.
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.
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 relearn our systems to bring about sustainable change and return to being prosperous and vibrant.
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.
