In a meeting at the University of Waikato with Manukura Tom Roa of Ngāti Maniapoto, Anjum and Nona were honoured to be given a Māori name for Inclusive Aotearoa Collective. Tom called our project ‘Tāhono’ and gave us this story for our new name.

We are referring to this phase of the project as “conversations” which implies that we are part of something rather than separate from it. The two questions we will be asking are:
What is stopping you from feeling like you belong to Aotearoa?
What needs to change for you to feel like you belong to Aotearoa?

Planning is now underway for how the Inclusive Aotearoa Collective (IAC) might take shape. The breadth of interest, skills and expertise of those attending the first Zoom meeting was impressive and the common desire to do what is ‘right’ will ensure that comprehensive and robust strategies evolve as the Collective progresses.
