Be in consultation with your people or organisation. You’re not on your own, you’re not the boss, there’s only one boss: Ihoa. Be mindful of your health and wellbeing, so that you can be there servicing your people and be working with your people.

“Whakapapa will put you into the pool from which leaders emerge, but whakapapa by itself will never make you a leader. Leadership requires a dream and the capacity to inspire others.”

We had a rangatahi from the same iwi as each kaikōrero do the interviewing process for Te Kai a te Rangatira. It was powerful to see the intergenerational success that happened when everyone came together to capture each kōrero shared! #tkatr#Māori
With Ngā Tamatoa in the 1970s, there was a big critique in our own Māori community of what we were doing. The label ‘activist’ was seen as negative. To me, I thought, ‘How great to be called a Māori activist, because what’s the opposite of that?
A Māori who does nothing.’
“E mōhio ai koe he rangatira te tangata mā te rangatira o ana mahi. Ko te rangatira o ngā mahi,e kore e takahi i te mana o tētahi atu, he manaaki i te hunga whai i tōna huarahi ki tōna ora. Ko te mahi a te rangatira he whiriwhiri me pēhea e puta ai ngā hua ki te nuinga.”

“I do think our greatest enemy is a lack of imagination, our own lack of ability to imagine ourselves in a different reality as a people. That’s what our leadership needs to be challenged to do – that’s what we all need to be challenged to do.”

"Took me nine months to become a master diver and then when I completed that, I thought, ‘Shit, that was my biggest fear in my whole life and I’ve just got over that, so I can do anything.’ From that moment on, it was easy to give up crime."

“Kei te mōhio koe ko te hoariri nui, ko te ito nui o te reo ko te Māori tonu, ehara i te Pākehā. Ko tātou Māori tonu nei ngā mea kei te kaha takahi, kei te whakahāwea mai, kei te whakaiti mai, kei te aha mai, kei te aha mai."

It’s one thing leading te ao Māori in a fight, it’s another thing running a cutter in a ship-shape way, keeping it orderly, keeping it moving, keeping it in the right direction and heading out to new horizons.”
