Tō mātou haerenga: the journey of a fractured-connected Taiamai whānau: Reflections from a hapū wānanga

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: For some whānau Māori, colonisation has resulted in the disconnection from their home marae, whenua, hapū and iwi. This paper takes a collective authoethnograhical approach to describing and exploring a recent journey of reconnection and discovery embarked on by one whānau. The journey is framed by the construction of a waka hourua, a double hulled canoe, to represent the two parts of the hapū; those who retained their home base connection and those who were disconnected through generations of colonisation, racism and geographical distance.
