Te Kumi Paa
What does Huakina mean to Denis and his Marae?
Huakina is the overarching entity or Pou Herenga that connects the many whānau, marae and hapū of the Puaha and Kei o te Waka. It incorporates the tikanga values including manaakitanga and tiakitanga in its provision of social services to our whānau and the wider community, It is vital that these values, or taonga tuku iho which give us our identity, are maintained as they set us apart from mainstream providers.
What is one goal Denis wishes to accomplish for his Marae? And how?
The one goal that our marae would want to accomplish would be to make our marae relevant to rangatahi and pakeke. The long-term future of our marae depends on their active participation in marae life. To achieve this, we need to encourage rangatahi not only to have a voice but to listen to what is being said and be prepared to step back and give them the responsibility as kaitiaki of our marae. We also need to accept that how our marae is run, what our marae is used for and even tikanga will change.
