Following conversations with community, we're hosting a banner and sign-making workshop for whānau hauā, tāngata whaikaha, disabled and d/Deaf people who would like to create signs and banners to use at protest action over the coming months. You don’t need to be an expert in Te Tiriti or the bill to participate – there will be plenty of time and space for kōrero on the day where we can learn from each other.RSVP here - https://forms.gle/L3jpEUWRRjG7CAcSA
As disabled people, we know how important it is to have a place to belong and contribute to thriving communities. This is what Te Tiriti o Waitangi is about. It's the key agreement that says that as long as people who arrive in Aotearoa respect tikanga or Māori ways of doing things then they can have a place to live and belong here.
In te ao Māori, everyone using their strengths to contribute as part of whānau and communities is important. Māori language, stories, and ways of thinking about disability are taonga.
Now more than ever, those taonga are under threat, because the promise of Te Tiriti o Waitangi is under threat. The coalition government is taking Aotearoa backwards with their relentless attacks on te ao Māori.
As disabled people across Aotearoa, let's show that we stand/sit/roll with tāngata whaikaha Māori and all tāngata whenua.
On Sunday November 17th from 10-1pm, we’ll be hosting a banner and sign-making workshop for whānau hauā, tāngata whaikaha, disabled and d/Deaf people who would like to create signs and banners to come together for Te Tiriti over the coming months. This kaupapa is for all of us, you don't need any expertise to take part and we'll help you out if you need assistance to make signs/banners too!
We’ll provide snacks and all the things we need to create the banner and signs. If you’ve got some extra paint, pens, brushes etc. at home feel free to bring those along too!
Let’s get together for Te Tiriti – see you there.
