What does being Indigenous mean to you?
I also love going into wananga with my community, listening to elders and experts talk about the inspiring people that populate our history. I’m surrounded by the carvings of ancestors, the woven panels, and feel like a child. It taps into a joy in me to be a part of it.From an Indigenous perspective, it’s about paying attention to interconnectedness. Indigenous leadership can be described as collective, distributive and relational.
For organizations, a first step is to become ambicultural. In NZ, we have a foundational treaty, a covenant between Indigenous peoples and settlers. Today, it’s expressed in how organizations are working. I tend to use the word ambicultural to harness the strength of different cultures, whereas bicultural can create a bit of a bifurcation where world views don’t meet. Ambiculturalism must percolate through the decision process by working with the local Indigenous community.
Realize that there’s a rich inheritance, this spiritual birthright, connect to it and share it. I received a lovely text from one of my nieces when she was learning about Maori graphic design, and her lecturer shared with her class one of our leader’s interviews on mana. She was so excited to learn about it, which made me happy. Notice those pockets of goodwill and reasons for hope, and team up with people who believe in you.
