Our journey learning about the history and understanding the content of these documents is ongoing – there is a lot to absorb!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We believe that designing and building strong communities is as much about information sharing as it is about the skills and expertise of the people around us. Communication and a willingness to assist where necessary are important aspects of what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between us, our members have a raft of abilities and experience regarding living a rural life. Most of us have gardens, some better than others. Those who know about herbs and healing share that knowledge. Some of us are great at canning, some of us raise animals. That we can come together to support each other in our endeavors is important to us. That support might be a helping hand, a strengthening hug, few words of encouragement or the swapping of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few members of our group moved on to proclaim their self-determination and individual sovereignty, just as our tupuna did back in 1835. They have committed to upholding the mana of the Proclaimed Hapu Movement and \u0100whitu Collective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are also committed to honoring the founding documents of Nu Tireni – He wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni 1835 and Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1840.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you wish to find out more about us, peruse the pages of this website at your leisure.
