Whanaungatanga is one of the core values we pride ourselves on at Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga. With that in mind, we were delighted to have the opportunity this month to visit with the Hon Dr Shane Reti, the Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, and to update him on the good mahi being undertaken at NPM and Kanapu.
In this e-pānui we speak with Tāne Karamaina, a Māori language translator and one of the researchers involved in the NPM research project Te Ahunga atu ki ngā Ōhanga Oranga Māori: Towards Māori Economies of Wellbeing. Born and raised in Australia, Tāne’s love for the reo has taken him on many interesting pathways including creating a Māori dictionary of business and financial kupu for the project. Some of his colleagues will share their main findings from the project in a NPM webinar on 28 August - the link can be found below.
In this e-pānui we also speak with Dr Jaclyn Aramoana-Arlidge, one of the organisers of Māori Doctors in Solidarity with Palestine, about the devastated health system in Gaza and the urgent need for global solidarity and action.
