He aha te Hawaiki hou ka whakairohia mō tātou te Māori i te ao ture? What future do we want to create for Māori and the law?

Looking beyond the challenges of today, Hawaiki Hou invites us to imagine the future we want to create. In this joint keynote, 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 and 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐬 will draw on the themes explored throughout Hui-ā-Tau to share their whakaaro on the future relationship between Māori and the law, the opportunities and challenges ahead, and what the next generation will need to lead that future.

Looking ahead 20 years, what needs to change for us to look back and say we got it right?

On Monday 14 September, Te Hunga Rōia Māori o Aotearoa ki Tāmaki Makaurau gathered at Meredith Connell for another whakawhanaungatanga evening. Tāmaki-based Hunga members gathered as a rohe to connect with old friends, meet new faces and listen to inspiring kōrero from Tā Justice Joe Williams. We were also grateful to be joined by ngā kaiwhakawā Justice Kiri Tahana, Judge Sheena Tepania and Judge Hana Ellis.

It was an amazing evening filled with lots of laughter and hāngi pies. Ngā mihi nui ki a Meredith Connell for their manaakitanga in hosting us. To our Hunga ki Tāmaki - please email [email protected] to be added to the mailing list so you can be included in comms about future events.
