On the 4th of December, with the Christmas break on the horizon, Whakauae Research had the privilege of welcoming three of the four students who will work with us over the summer period. The Whakauae team was excited to have rangatahi coming into the office and was particularly struck by their fluency in te reo Māori and the opportunities to weave this into their mahi. Below is a brief summary of the summer students and their respective projects:
Hakopa Ririnui (Ngāi te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Pūkenga) will work with Dr Tanya Allport and Tom Johnson (TUI team) to create a digital artefact to support the Tō Mātou Kāinga project’s planned symposium event next year.
Saffron Stanley (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāi Tahu) joins the Expanding connection: the process of reconnection for Māori youth study with Dr Logan Hamley, exploring literature that describes rangatahi understandings of Māori culture.
Liam Barclay (Ngāti Hauiti, Ngā Wairiki Ngāti Apa, Te Āti Haunui ā Pāpārangi) will work with Utiku Potaka on the Pūtōrino e rua project. This study is exploring the social and environmental implications of the 1855 landslide dam outburst flood in the Rangitīkei Valley near Rātā for Ngāti Hauiti and Ngāti Apa. The study will include seeking insights into how these iwi may best navigate contemporary climate change.
Hannah Overbye (Ngāti Porou, Te Aitanga a Māhaki, Te Whānau a Kai, Rongowhakaata) will be joining us, in January 2025, to support the Tō Mātou Kāinga research team to prepare an article for publication drawing on the study’s stakeholder data.
We look forward to seeing how the tauira grow their skills over the summer, and to hearing about their incredible contributions to our research, when they present again to the Whakauae team in Whanganui at the end of February 2025.
