Course CONTENT
WHAKAPAPA AND RANGATIRATANGA
Colonisation was a sustained assault on whakapapa. The imperative for Rangatiratanga is the political foundation for whānau, hapū and iwi healing and prevention.
TIKANGA, WHĀNAU MAHI, NĀ RONGO
In situations of need, processes that facilitate the resolution of healing for whānau are vital for the protection of whakapapa and the and the continuity of culture. Using tikanga and kawa, learn to manage cases in the context of the structure, dynamics, relatiohships and processes of whānau.
whakawātea
Whakawātea is a process of healing and restoration, and reconnection of whakapapa. The basis is the proposition that healing based on tikanga can and does work to heal inter-generational mamae/pain. Tikanga is the benchmark against which behaviours are tested, and upon which the recommended pathways towards change are based.
