 Kioromai tātā, ngā mihi kaonara kia koutou katoa kua tatumai i tēnei ra kite whakarungo kia mātau nei marunga i tō mātau nei kaupapa i whakatakato i tēnei ra. Kia koutou. Kia koutou. Kia koutou. Kia koutou. tia ti awa at the welcome week has really emerged in birth the new evolution of that framework which is the youth of tia ti awa Taranaki Fandui if they're not thriving we're not thriving and if your community is not healthy and if your community is not succeeding then we're not succeeding and I'm excited to architect with you how we continue to build the program together. Kia ora everyone we've got a little presentation that we wanted to share with you guys unlike all the awesome presentations that were before us they've actually done something we've just got an idea and it's an idea that we think is worth sharing and we want to share it with you guys and just sort of leaning off what Matt Matthew said around working with our tamariki and our obligation to make sure that we can foster a better future for them we've got an initiative that we have called to tech tribe or a movement if you like and it's all about preparing our tamariki for tomorrow leaders, innovators, disruptors. Kia ora mai tātou, tēnā i te mihi atu ki a tātou ko taiti nana mai i wanginu i te ākuatanga o tēnā i rangi kau ana ngā mihi ki ngā mana, ngā mana ka toko tau, norera tēnā koutou no mai hara mai whakatau mai. Let's rock and roll and to tech tribe this is how we bring the beautiful Māori word te biua to all these wonderful attributes of tech tribe but what we trying to do really and we don't want to do this on our own this is so the reason why we've got a platform today is to say to the world help us build a movement so that the brown kids of our region are the future leaders of tomorrow. So was it's a moi moi a vision and a dream of our iwi we know that this will only work if we're interconnect with i we'r interconnected, i we operate with other people of like minds. So that's what we want to do. We want our kids to have the skills, the networks, but more importantly the pride. Because we've tried poverty, and it just doesn't work. So I guess what we've done is we've come up with the five whais. It was probably something that I learned at some workshop that was inspired by some guy from Stanford. Maybe. But I think it's a really good way of sort of deepening the reason why, sort of getting to what we call the ngakō, the core of it. And I don't know if we've got there yet, but I guess the first one is we need to prepare our tamariki for the future. If we don't, who will? Things don't. If we leave things up to accident, then accidents happen. The future is being changed radically. We don't want to be the recipients on the other side of it because we've been there for a long time. We want to be at the forefront. We want our communities to lead. This is about our tamariki, our whānau, and our communities. We want them to lead. We don't want to create a centralized system. We want to create a devolved system, a decentralized system. We need less bureaucracy, less paper-pushing and lovely strategies that sit on a bookshelf collecting dust. We actually need action. And we need organizations to actively engage our tamariki, our Māori, brown Pacific Island tamariki. That's what we need. We're building a nation. We've got to be intentional. And this is why it's really important. We see ourselves as a co-facilitator, co-creator with EHF New Frontiers and other people with good values and creating a really mega connector. Most of the European New Zealanders and the institutions are not really connected. They'll engage, but they've got a KPI. This is not a KPI. This is a movement. We want a movement of people who are going to stand up and drive. Just like all those early presentations just before us, we're at the infancy stage. We're at the genesis, and we want to do it. Because we're not going to wait for other people to tell us what is good for us. We're going to do it ourselves with others. We're going to stand as part of a mega connector. There are so many good institutions out there who want to be able to participate with Māori and Pacific Island communities. So let's play that space with people with credibility, with people who see the big game. And the big game is the future workforce of New Zealand is going to be brown and yellow. And that's okay. That's real cool. And if you have a problem with it, then I'll have to say it again. It's brown and yellow. Same colours as our rugby team here too, by the way. So I guess that's what sets us apart. We don't want to go out there and build a strategy or another action plan or another this and another that. There ain't going to be a plan. There ain't going to be a written strategy. The strategy is movement. The strategy is movement. We're driving action. And this is what we've started with. So to tech tribe is our movement. Houta Tu is our new programme. And for those of you who don't know the word Houta Tu, Houta Tu is the mischievous one. The disruptor. The curious minds. The creative. And I think when we think of the word Houta Tu for many of us within Māori, it can actually be quite a negative word. Oh, that little Houta Tu, blim and breaking things again. Oh, Johnny doing that again. But we want to reframe that. We want to capture the potential of the Houta Tu. Because in every whānau there is a Houta Tu. There is a mischievous little bugger or buggeress who's out there breaking things, testing things, trying things. Let's capture that potential and give it directed purpose. And not only are they like Māori, but they're like Moana as well. You know? Probably more like Moana. We have all our sisters up here, but they told us to get up here. And I guess just in a little story in terms of Māori and in reference to that Houta Tu nis, the story of him fishing up this land, the North Island, came out of that Houta Tu nis. He heard that his brothers wanted to go out for a fishing expedition. And he knew, because of his Houta Tu nis, that he would be excluded. So what did he do? He got his grandmother's jaw bone, which was carved into a hook, and he snuck into the boat before the sun rose. And that's where the story comes from. He then fished up the North Island. So without Māori and his Houta Tu nis, we wouldn't be here right now. So kia ora Māori. And obviously the word ho can also mean new and wind. So this is the wind of change, the two, to stand for the wind of change. So we can create a dialogue and a narrative around this, which is going to meet. But the Houta Tu is going to be a programme we want to design, and we want to design with you. And just as a little aside, I showed this little presentation to my mum and she was going, oh, you're not going to put those Disney pictures up. There might be some copyright issues. And I was going, eh. But else. But else. And that's the other part of this story. We want to create our stories. We don't want to be told our stories by Disney anymore. We want to create our own stories in our own way, according to our own bias. And that's an assertion of our mana motuhake. That's who we are. And so we're going to... We're going to do that. So we're not going to cry about that. We're just going to do something. And so this is just the starting phase of what we might do. But we're really keen to test this with you guys in the next phase when we have a little focus group session. And we're going to have a focus group session later on because we've just decided to. But we're going to create a camp hototu or something like that. And we're going to bring them together with hototu experts like Wayne and the rest of them who create what we call whakarou hototu. Business schools might call them business plans or something like that. We call them whakarou, thoughts, ideas, knowledge about being a hototu. And then we're going to present it at a hototu festival. So we're going to bring a whole bunch of crazy people and creatives and break stuff. And present it at an inaugural festival in te Upoko o te Ika a Maui. So that's the connection. That's the whakapapa. And then hopefully we can create some whakarou hototu that we can get some support from other partners. I just, I love words and so I want you to look at this word hototu. So we can break that down. Here's another narrative and I just noticed it. The word ha, HA the breath utu, the reciprocality to, to stand. You see the Māori language and the Māori worldview has much to offer. But why don't we do it together? The breath of reciprocal standing together as one. That just came to me when I was looking at the words. Oh jeez, Christ. So, yeah we're getting to the end of our presentation but it's all about innovation, creativity and being a hototu is nothing new to us. It's how we got here in the first place. Some people think that we kind of got here by accident. We didn't. We navigated our way here. So what next? So these are sort of the systems that we're doing. We've got a little project team. Welcome more. You can be a whole project team right here. We've got a little plan. Not a big plan. Just a tiny little plan. Because if you've got a big plan then you're giving it to someone else. We've got a little plan. We've got a little plan. We've got a big plan. Yes. And we know how much we need to make to Tech Tribe successful. We need all of this. And then more. So I guess this is our open invitation to you all to join the movement and be the next hototu because you guys are all hototus in your own way and you've got to help us. And you wouldn't be here without it. So yes we're going to have a workshop and we've agreed we had a workshop a few weeks ago and got some of our family members together and a lot of the younger ones because this has really got to be driven by a lot of the younger ones and the mums because that's where the families start. So when you look at the word, when you look at the statement, we want to attach a thousand, we want to affect a thousand families. You can reach multiple families. This is not one. I can reach literally tens if not hundreds of families. And in fact this year we're celebrating my mothers and fathers grandchildren and we've just reached their hundreds mokopuna, grandchild. So that's how it works. So come with us, come and join us and we'll be in touch with you between the Te Raukura Te Atiawa Taranaki whanui Te Whareki Kuhumai Whakatauimai Mihimai Tumai i wainganui i a matau. Tena koutou. Namaste. I do do yoga. Kia ora. Thank you for planting that seed with us please. I guess one quick thing I would say from EHF perspective having been a little bit on this journey for the last few months and thinking through this vision we just crushed the surface here and I invite you all to approach with a very open mind and open heart what really resonated with me when you shared that vision started off by saying that we hate poverty. That's a shared enemy in this space but also a clear recognition that the way we're building our economy right now the way we're using the creative potential that we all have isn't creating the type of world that we want to create in our communities and therefore really struck with me here is less about let's just take technology and bring it to indigenous communities it is really bringing various tools and platforms that we have and the wisdom and knowledge and vision that you have and co-create something very new together and so I invite you all to be thinking about various ways of nation building that we are part of and in supporting your community you want to be building together if you take the word nation and in the word nation there's lots of concepts but there's three things that really resonate with me and that's the ATI and that's a Māori word for people āti it's āti so whether you like it or not the Māori's are coming and we're everywhere that's how you get names like dentist and mulligan but Joseph is right let's have an open mind if we're going to design this what we want to do is we're prepared to be vulnerable in our thinking because without vulnerability there is no creativity and that's okay so long as everyone is prepared to be vulnerable so we don't have a template but by God we've seen some really cool stuff that inspires us and if we can get many of our Māori woman and Pacific Island woman doing what was presented this morning I just think we've got to have a better country and more importantly better homes better homes for our people
