“My hope for that whakataukī ‘he kai kei aku ringa,’ is that my kids can confidently say that they have the tangible things of this world but that they also have the social capital, that connectedness to who they are.”

He Kai Kei Aku Ringa
Meet Alex! Alex has lived in the West Auckland community for the last 20 years. Living in such a demanding urban centre means Alex is constantly walking a fine line between meeting the material and cultural needs of his whānau. The demands of working life mean there are fewer and fewer spare hours in the day – certainly not enough for Alex to grow and gather his own food.
When asked what ‘he kai kei aku ringa’ means to Alex, he discusses the presence of hākari (large structures for displaying feasts of food) used in former times as indicators of a hapu’s ability to feed their people. This set of circumstances presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Alex to think about how we might use technology, in the way of vertical, indoor or micro gardens to enable the continuation of manaakitanga.

E te maire tū wao, e Tā Meihana, e tika ana kia turuturu te tōmairangi o mihi ki a koe, mōu i whakawhiwhia ki te hōnoretanga hirahira o te motu mō te nui o āu nā mahi. Inā hoki te nui o ngā hua o āu mahi e whāngai tonu nei i te iwi Māori, e te rangatira, ko Toi Tangata tēnei e mihi atu nei ki a koe.
Congratulations to Sir Mason Durie who received the insignia of New Zealand's highest honour, the Order of New Zealand, at an investiture ceremony at Government House in Wellington yesterday. His commitment and contributions to hauora Māori are both considerable and enduring and continue to guide us in our mahi at Toi Tangata. Tēnei te mihi nui ki a koe, e te rangatira.
