UPDATE 18/08/21 @ 9am: This Toi Ako Webinar has now been postponed due to the recent move to Alert Level 4. We will reschedule and let you know when we find a suitable date and time. Kia noho haumaru, e te whanau.
Join Lorinda Pereira (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Whātua, Ngāti Kahungunu) for a lunch-time session as she shares her whakaaro around kai sovereignty and security based on her lived experience in the small rural community of Panguru in the Hokianga.
During this hour-long Toi Ako Webinar, she will discuss the value of and access to mātauranga Māori, the relationships between the knowledge holders and modern Māori, and how these concepts hold the key to empowering us to feed ourselves.
Through understanding and exploring whakaaro around maramataka Māori in food sovereignty, as well as chemical free, quality food and access, Lorinda will guide us through learning how to live from the land in a practical sense.
