Te Tai Tokerau (Northland) has an epic history of powerful leaders who have had a positive impact in the Maori world and beyond. This strengths-based Marsden project, led by Ng\u0101puhi and Muriwhenua descendants, has identified uniquely Tai Tokerau pathways, identities and perceptions of success. The project celebrates Tai Tokerau distinctiveness, success and history using Te Whare Tapu o Ng\u0101puhi as the boundaries of the study\u2019s reach.<br \/>\nThis presentation will outline the emerging findings of this project, highlighting the ways Tai Tokerau have responded to adversity, change, and challenges over many generations. This project has produced powerful narratives of M\u0101ori success, identity and thriving from Tai Tokerau by re-telling narratives of success and thriving that put Tai Tokerau icons (both human and non-human), p\u016brakau, and mohiotanga (knowledge) at the centre of that conceptualisation. Using narrative and thematic analysis approaches this project has produced accounts that express unique understandings of identity and success through a distinctive Tai Tokerau lens, prioritising Northern whakapapa (genealogy), m\u0101tauranga (ways of knowing), m\u0101ramatanga (deep understanding) and w\u0101nanga (debate).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Melinda Webber (Ng\u0101ti Whakaue, Ng\u0101puhi, Ng\u0101ti Kahu) and Kapua O&#8217;Connor (Ng\u0101ti Kur\u012b) will be presenting the next Te Tumu seminar,\u00a0looking at\u00a0 pathways for the success of M\u0101ori students from the Tai Tokerau.\u00a0 Dr Webber, based at the University of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15374,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[314],"tags":[67401,67399,67400,67398],"class_list":["post-923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-seminar","tag-kapua-oconnor","tag-maori-student-success","tag-melinda-webber","tag-te-tai-tokerau"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15374"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.otago.ac.nz\/tetumuresearch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
