This is a story from one of our kaiārahi, Arohanui West, who has been delivering our Ikura Wānanga online.
What is the Ikura Wānanga?
This wānanga raises awareness for the te ao Māori worldview of ikura. We talk about colonisation and its impact on the relationship we have with our ikura, and how in contrast, traditional Māori practices celebrated the mana of ikura.
We discuss the waste that single-use conventional products produce and how harmful it is to the environment. We also talk about the ways and methods of our tupuna and the modern alternatives that are available today.
