The policy creating tool

Within your policy you need to outline ways in which your organisation is able to reflect the bi-culural nature of Aotearoa whilst also representing and honoring the local narrative. You need to think about including the following aspects of Mana Ūkaipo/Manukura:
  • Your organisation could reflect the place of where it is e.g. local narrative. To do this you could do the following:
    • Seek out and form a positive relationship with mana whenua (local hapū / iwi). Once this relationship has been established you can begin to find out any local stories
  • It would be beneficial for all staff to know and understand these local Māori stories and about the local narrative/history and should be able to say who the mana whenua are and know some information about them too
  • Your organisation could offer opportunities of whakawhanaungatanga to local hapū/iwi and be open to any ways in which you could collaborate with them
  • Use the narrative to inform aspects of your organisation e.g. colour schemes, names of places within your organisation (It is a good idea to start with the formation of a positive relationship with local hapū first, and they are the ones who may be able to gift these names).
