In this conversation, Chelsea shares her journey of deepening her political awareness in Te Ao Māori and how Te Tiriti is a critical part of her mahi as a kaupapa Māori evaluator.

Te Tiriti Kōrero with Dr Kathie Irwin – “When you take a critical analysis view, a kaupapa Māori view, you don’t start with the individual.”

Dr Kathie Irwin MNZM, PHD, MInstD is a third generation Māori, woman and educator. This interview outlines how public service and social justice are deeply embedded in her bloodlines. Her passion inspires her to contribute to nation building in innovative and creative ways that are framed by Sir Apirana Ngata’s whakatauākī, “E tipu, e rea”.

Te Tiriti Kōrero with Mike Smith – “We have to invest in the vision of all peoples in this country.”

Mike Smith (Ngāti Kahu, Ngāpuhi) is an educationalist and has spent the last 40 years focussed on taking action where it matters.

In this interview, Mike shares the impact his Mother had on his life, especially in reminding him of his identity and his tūpuna who were original signatories to Te Tiriti.

Te Tiriti Kōrero with Ali Hamlin-Paenga – “We do not need others to be Māori for us.”

Ali Hamlin, the Kaihautū – CEO of Ngati Kahungunu Community Services, provides her insights into how Te Tiriti informs her practice when advocating for equity and fair outcomes for whānau.
