Vision
he taura whiri mo te reo o Ngaa Whaanau
The strategy and the resultant process that brings the whaanau voice into the decision-making of the health system is like a woven rope.
At one end it connects with the multiplicity of whaanau that make up the rohe of Ngaa Pou Hauora o Taamaki Makaurau. Doing so in ways which are quintessentially Maaori, bound by reciprocity and framed by kawa.
At the other end it connects Ngaa Pou Hauora o Taamaki Makaurau into the health system in ways which, over time, transform the relationship between Maaori and the system from powerless dependence towards Mana Motuhake.
The centre is the translator, the gearbox the weave or the framework that converts the raw data from whaanau into a source of a narrative that has cut through in the health system and the political discourse.
It is unclear as yet what shape the centre will take. But it will make sense within the underpinning values of tikanga whilst capturing the realities of whaanau.
