Community Engagement Report for developing a National Action Plan Against Racism Diversity and inclusion Tangata Whenua spoke about diversity and inclusion being important and sought recognition by migrants that Māori were the first people of Aotearoa. One participant’s vision was that: “all cultures that migrate to New Zealand have an induction [to] Aotearoa, te Tiriti, tikanga, aligning to local marae for support in their regions.” Participants supported better treatment for migrants entering Aotearoa and greater “recognition and understanding of multiethnic, dual/multi country passport holders with New Zealand citizenship explained to those working at the border”. Equality for all peoples – both Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti – was supported. Participants envisaged a future where “racism is firmly in our past but informs our future through initiatives that build manaakitanga and connection”. Another participant described a racismfree future for everyone as: An Aotearoa that my mokopuna see themselves as a valued member and contributor. Where those who lead this country understand the collective strength of our young leaders today will only benefit the future Aotearoa. Where ministers and governments move aside and support the development of selfgovernance for mātauranga Māori educational organisations, health, welfare, justice and community development.
