pulling up your socks
Treaty partnership is a widely-used term, thrown around by local and central government departments and staff.
But so often it seems like an abstract concept assigned to the wider organisation, not something individuals themselves are committed to.
I want us to think about our responsibilities at an intimate and daily level. To consider what it really means, from a personal perspective, to be one half of the partnership. It requires conscious effort and a willingness to embrace discomfort.
I’m fortunate to work alongside colleagues who are doing their utmost to build knowledge and develop the skills to interact respectfully with te ao Māori. This reflection is not for them or for their peers across the country.
