✨ Mana Wāhine ✨
Ka korerotia e ngā wāhine o rātou kaupapa nui.
A series of talks by four wāhine Māori on their chosen Kaupapa, sharing their experiences of successfully navigating their professions. All have tribal affiliations with hapu and iwi from Te Tai Tokerau.
✨ The 4th speaker is June Pitman ✨
Brought up on ancestral lands at Tamaterau, June Pitman was raised by her mother, grandmother, older sister and wider whānau in a pākeha-influenced Māori environment. She describes herself as a ‘free-range’ Pākeha-looking Māori kid who enjoyed a childhood freedom of roaming both ngāhere and moana, gathering kai, collecting plants, closely connecting with te taiao (the natural world); particularly the sounds (or music) of nature. June is a creative expressionist: singer/songwriter, storyteller, published author, poet, organiser and voracious gardener, who is committed to supporting her hapū and helping uphold mana Māori within the cultural heritage space throughout Whangārei.
