Community Engagement Report for developing a National Action Plan Against Racism 2. Whakamana te tapu o te ahurea tuakiri 3. Whakamana te tapu o te wānanga 4. Whakamana e tapu o te whānau • Create long-term plans and prioritise actions to support Tangata Whenua to protect and promote cultural identity and expression. Examples of this include decolonisation, reclaiming kawa and tikanga and restoring tangata whenuatanga. • Eliminate racism from key sectors (housing, employment, work and income, health, education, criminal justice) where elimination could significantly enhance whānau life in the short term. • Celebrate and promote diversity and inclusion in Aotearoa so that Tangata Whenua and all peoples can feel accepted and safe in any environment. • Restore whanaungatanga, whakapapa, kawa and tikanga. • Address the intersectional oppression experienced by Tangata Whenua, who also identify as belonging to other disadvantaged groups, for example, tangata whaikaha and takatāpui. • Honour and celebrate Tangata Whenua with physical structures and statues and by renaming places, mountains, towns and streets that were named after colonisers. Names should reflect the honest histories of Tangata Whenua and/or restoration of original tīpuna names. • Enable te tapu o te wānanga in the way that we nurture and educate ourselves and our generations of mokopuna. See mokopuna as a precious reflection of our tīpuna with innate intelligence to be encouraged and elevated. • Support and enable the new history curriculum to teach both sides of Te Tiriti, and to tell the stories of Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti from first encounters until the present. Educate with respect for diverse identities and those who have lost connection with their own cultures. • Eliminate racism in education and ensure teachers are competent to deliver an anti-racism curriculum. Develop partnerships with Tangata/Mana Whenua in educating learners. • Support and enable wānanga and education about New Zealand’s past in kaupapa Māori and tiriti environments (formal education, government, and public and private sectors and systems). This should include Te Tiriti o te Waitangi, the Doctrine of Discovery, colonisation, white supremacy and racism in Aotearoa in all its forms. • Restore and heal Whakamana te tapu o te whānau by supporting and prioritising te ao Māori knowledge and processes. An example of this is addressing the mental health needs of Māori traumatised by colonisation, racism, poverty, drugs and alcohol. • Uplift whānau to lead their own solutions and initiatives as a key layer of Māori society. • Improve access for whānau to their whenua, awa, cultural food sources and sustenance and marae. • Recognise that all the issues are connected, and policies need to be developed in collaboration with other sectors and Tangata Whenua. Examples of this include racism preventing equity in housing, which can impact health outcomes; while poor housing can be the result of inequity in incomes, created by systemic racism. • Specify a timeline to achieve equity goals (put a monitoring and evaluation process in place to assess progress toward equity goals).
