Toi Whakapapa
Ka whakamahia e mātou a Toi Whakapapa me ngā kōrero whaiaro hei torotoro i tētahi pātai matua a te Kōti Whenua Māori:
He aha tō hononga ki tō whānau me tō whenua i te kore he wira mō te 200 tau?
We use Toi Whakapapa and personal stories to explore a key question asked by the Māori Land Court:
What is your relationship to your whānau and whenua in the absence of a will for 200 years?
Toi Whakapapa Wānanga
- Introduce Whakapapa and whenua
- Address five family elements
- Understand whānau land and trusts
- Gain knowledge of whakapapa and legal understanding
- Provide user-friendly courses for Māori and non-Māori
The five elements of Toi Whakapapa
My Family Tree
Tracing the names, journeys, and connections of whānau creates meaningful family tree art and narratives.
My Parent's Home
Artistic depictions of parents' or grandparents' homes establish visual connections to personal tīpuna history and surroundings.
My Parent's Letterbox
Symbolising the letterbox as a gateway creates connection to whenua and the whānau home.
My Parent's Backyard
Spotlighting backyard experiences, gardens, animals, and family gatherings tells the story of whānau and the wider community.
My Parent's Kitchen
Shared storytelling reveals the heart of the home where family decisions and connections are made.
What's coming next...
