tēnā koutou! I no longer use this platform, but I have a new paper out today on mātauranga Māori in published taiao research & thought that my previous connections on here might be interesting in reading and sharing.

Keeping people culturally safe, tiakitanga, cultural labour, is all labour. The skills and mana to be kaikāranga, kaikōrero, kaikarakia, to whakatau, to translate, to whakawhanaungatanga, should be compensated like any other skillset.

[Lilly Leadbeater @mintyhiggins]

But also in a generic context, these payments are in recognition of a skill. It’s usually got some sort of aptitude assessment to get the payment. But any employer will offer bonuses for certain skills. I’ve seen American jobs offering an allowance for Spanish fluency

[Lilly Leadbeater @mintyhiggins]

Former union organiser here. These payments exist for a couple of reasons. The first is because often Māori are expected to undertake cultural duties without it being part of their job. These payments mean you can provide te ao Māori support in house for cheaper than contracting

[Grace @graceeruiha]

I’ve been in the workforce in a predominantly Pākehā organisation for around 9 months. I’ve been asked to translate things despite it not being part of my job. There is demand for te reo Māori and it’s not going away. They just want to make sure we aren’t compensated for it

[Grace @graceeruiha]

Alongside rolling back Te Tiriti and the visibility of out reo this govt is now blocking Māori from being fairly compensated for our skillsets and disincentivising people from learning te reo Māori

[Grace @graceeruiha]

@nzsamueltaylor @nzherald 3. This language is condescending towards Māori voters implying that they must have accidentally “forgotten” to support the Labour candidate rather than the reality which is employing strategic voting in the Māori electorates (as we have always done)

[Grace @graceeruiha]

@PolEditing2 @damienmgrant hype to see that I’m already blocked HAHAHA

[Taitoa - Free Palestine 🇵🇸 @Taitoa_]

I think you’ll find Māori are more than happy to ditch the principles and go back to the actual articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi

[Grace @graceeruiha]

If anyone has a good way to access this book I’d be really interested to see the track of their argument.

[Grace @graceeruiha]

So I have a google alert for mentions of mātauranga Māori, which usually has beautiful gems of knowledge

But today I’ve been led to what looks like a book about regimes using science to justify their awful ideas (interesting!!) but then turns into an attack on IK and (contd)

[Grace @graceeruiha]

Same with the adoption of te reo Māori in various areas, which by the way some people in recent interviews have been talking you would think the English language was being banned and replaced

A STATEMENT FROM INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS WHO SUPPORTED THE VOICE REFERENDUM:

[nick @popcornhistory]

HELL YEAH METIRIA TELLING LABOUR TO STAND ON THEIR PRINCIPLES

[Grace @graceeruiha]

go off Ōtautahi!!!!!!!!! Bet he thought he was safe here

[Jason Walls @Jasonwalls92]

David Seymour just endured the media stand-up from hell in Christchurch.

It was hijacked by protestors with signs with explicit language, calling for climate action, a member of the public called him a ‘parasite’ & members of the public jumped in with their own questions.
