WHAKATAU - to make a decision, to settle something within yourself.
Whakatau is a short series that explores the experience of Māori in Aotearoa during the global pandemic, and ultimately the decision of whether or not to vaccinate their tamariki (children) against the virus.
This episode features Tyson Sharland from Te Papaioea and Te Ataakura Pewhairangi (Kui) of Ngāti Porou. Together they have three tamariki growing up in the kohanga reo and kura kaupapa movement at Hoani Waititi. Tys & Kui share how kōrero, wānanga and whanaungatanga, their connection to a community, helps them make the decisions they need to make. They share how they have normalised the vaccination kōrero with their tamariki, and how to always consider the collective good of the whole community when making big decisions.
