Last weekend we delivered the first installment of our online wananga (the title page and a section about Maui). Hope you guys received it and had time to review our humble offering. It has been set up as an A3 landscape doc... if you want... you can print it out... you can customize your title page... you can add your own info... like adding more pages... add your own korero... add your own photos to really make it your very own taonga.
The korero about Maui is intended to show the link between the land and the people... and the link between the whakaheke and our whakapapa. Iwi should understand that Maui brought many things including death and whakapapa. We will build on our korero from month to month but if you have any comments about the first installment... feel free to comment here.
I want to use the initial group to develop our resources, understand the technology and fine-tune our delivery options. For the next few months we’ll be focused on how you guys react... what you might recommend or stuff you might request. To that end we have closed our registrations until further notice. May I also say... none of us are tohunga by any measure... we are simply whanau who are passionate about our tikanga and our whakapapa and very willing to share.
Ultimately we want to develop our iwi resources to build a digital library of our korero. Dreams are free... and we want to thank you guys for being part of the TKR journey thus far... Nga mihi whanui ki nga whanaunga maha...
