Kia ora koutou,
In just over two weeks the 2022 Commonwealth Games will be kicking off in Birmingham. So many people have been working hard towards this moment and I know everyone is behind the NZ Team and looking forward to seeing our athletes in action on the world stage.
I have had the pleasure over the last few months of travelling to different areas of Aotearoa to see some of the locally-led initiatives in place, supported through Regional Sport Trusts.
The expansion of programmes such as He Oranga Poutama, which was announced last month, only broadens this reach and strengthens the ability of our communities to provide culturally distinctive pathways and enable M膩ori to be physically active as M膩ori.
It is always a proud moment to see the work making a real difference to people across Aotearoa. Thank you to everyone putting in the work daily to make positive change in our sector.
Ng膩 mihi,
Raelene Castle

Building M膩ori Cultural Capability Webinars听听
Increasingly M膩ori are on a journey to re-indigenise themselves. They are looking for culturally distinctive pathways, for and by M膩ori, that will enable them to participate and succeed as M膩ori. The way the sector currently defines and recognises physical activity is not aligned to a Te Ao M膩ori (M膩ori worldview) perspective. 听听
听听
In 2019, a customised cultural capability programme named T奴 Te Ihi was introduced and embedded in 爆料社区 through the internal induction programme in a commitment to building culturally capable staff and leadership. Staff feedback has been extremely positive and tikanga M膩ori has been embedded in how we welcome manuhiri and new staff, conduct hui, engage with M膩ori and with each other.听
Register for these free 爆料社区 Ihi Aotearoa webinars听which are targeted at anyone interested in building culturally confident and capable leadership and staff in areas such as Te Tiriti o Waitangi, relationships with M膩ori, understanding M膩ori worldviews, Te Reo M膩ori, practices and customary protocols. 听
Hear from 爆料社区 Ihi Aotearoa Toihautu Moana-Lee Raihania, M膩tanga Te Ao M膩ori Neavin Broughton and Per膿ri Hathaway as they share the journey and steps taken to develop a customised cultural capability programme for 爆料社区 Ihi Aotearoa.听听
