He Whakapakari ake i te Tuakiri Maaori 鈥� Strengthening Maaori Identity through 鈥楾uupuna Times鈥� 鈥�  Preserving the narratives of Ruuruhi (elderly women) and Koroheke (elderly men)

Presented by Dr. Tangiwai Rewi, University of Otago, New Zealand

The importance of knowing where you come from, who you are and where you belong is critical in developing a sense of identity in youth.  It is important to grow iwi M膩ori and Indigenous peoples鈥� capacity to record their elders鈥� narratives to strengthen young peoples鈥� identity and sense of belonging to their marae, longhouse, or land. Many whaanau (families)regret not having information about their parents' or grandparents鈥� stories before they pass away or succumb to dementia. Tuupuna Times is a seven-section questionnaire that has been used to teach whaanau how to record the narratives of their elders. This presentation explains the transformational and empowering elements of Tuupuna Times and the simplicity of how to use the questionnaire effectively.

This is the first lecture in our World Indigenous Lecture Series.
