Tribal Summit

A special event for indigenous communities to reimagine and redefine our future through a community-led, kaupapa-driven circular economy.

Nau mai, haere mai...

Join us at the intersection of climate change, culture, and community to explore how we, as indigenous communities, can tackle community-level challenges and contribute to global change.

The Rautāpatu Foundation and community partners extend a warm welcome to Taranaki whanau whānui and wider hapū networks around the motu, to attend our Tribal Summit.

DAYS 1 & 2

TRIBAL SUMMIT FOCUS

TUESDAY 8 & WEDS 9 OCTOBER 2024

Our focus is on highlighting solutions to tackle community-level challenges and to contribute to Taiao regeneration and global change.

Best for Mobile viewing

Importantly we aim to celebrate our whanaungātanga & hapūtanga

to create a safe space to wānanga

with others and explore:

Can circularity align with our aspirations for cultural and social well-being and values as Māori?
A means to an end... how does circularity stack up building a kaupapa-driven Tribal economy?
How do we unlock the economic potential of a Taiao-positive, circular economy?
What are the pros/cons of a Circular Economy?

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

We have organised a programme where you will have the opportunity to kōrero with

others and reflect on an array of thought-provoking presenters, and accelerator sessions to enable a deep dive into three design-driven

Circular Economy principles and their alignment to Te Ao Māori:

Resource Recovery
Circular Business
Regenerating te Taiao

We will showcase circular businesses and draw inspiration from transformative local, regional and international examples.

The Rautāpatu Foundation wanted to provide

a forum for thinkers, doers and leaders

to consider a kaupapa Māori view of

our circular development potential.

Showcasing the most impactful presentations from Aotearoa's most influential Māori scholars, change makers, community practitioners, innovators and entrepreneurs, we hope to inspire you and give a voice to rangatahi, whanau and hapū into our future development.

Our Programme offers a mix of presentations and small group 'accelerator sessions' to do a deep dive into key areas of potential change in our homes, workplaces and community.

Over three days we invite you to wānanga with others, to consider what a Taiao-Positive and Kaupapa-led Economy could look like.

We hope you are curious like we are to answer:

If principles of circularity align with our aspirations for cultural and social well-being and values as Māori?
A means to an end... how does circularity stack up building a kaupapa-driven Tribal economy?
How do we unlock the economic potential of a Taiao-positive, circular economy?
What are the pros/cons of a Circular Economy?

Who should attend?

We extend a warm welcome to those who share whakapapa to ngā Iwi o Taranaki, and to wider whanau and hapū networks around the motu to attend our Tribal Summit.

We encourage pakeke and rangatahi who are passionate about the interconnected kaupapa of revitalising Te Taiao, community-led change, indigenous entrepreneurship, systems thinking and Tribal economic development as essential components on our quest to reclaim our

mana motuhake.

Revitalising the mana and mauri of Te Taiao is paramount
and must start with us, today.

We cannot wait any longer.

When we all make small incremental changes,
the aggregate is impactful and can form

the cornerstone of community-driven progress.

If you are like us, delivering on this kaupapa entails more than just our responsibility as 'kaitiaki' - it is an intergenerational connection one another and

to something bigger...

it embodies the aspirations of our

whānau and hapū,

uniting us with our tūpuna,

our present, and our future.

Join us at Te Whare Hononga, to see how our values and worldview aligns to circularity and if it can provide your whanau, hapū and community with tools for change.
