“This is an opportunity for us to show te ao this beautiful story that we’ve managed to weave into our safety video. So this kaupapa of tiaki is an important kaupapa to launch as we start to open up our borders and bring people into Aotearoa New Zealand but I think there’s also space for us here in Aotearoa to learn more about being a kaitiaki and looking after people, place and culture,” Cummings-Hodge says.

“At Araraurangi our journey in te ao Māori really started when we started flying the mangopare on the back of our aircraft and wearing that tohu so proudly. So we’ve been on a big learning journey ourselves but this specific kaupapa we’ve been working on for about nine months really, ensuring the whole process has been Māori-led, so working with whānau like Joe Harawira, the New Zealand Māori Arts & Crafts Institute and James Rickard.”

Renata Blair (Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei) says the inclusion of mana whenua can be necessary.

“We’re the hau kāinga (local people) of Tāmaki central and so we have a lot of people coming in, arriving. It’s te herehere o ngā waka, it’s the place of all these many canoes and for us we’re sitting there in Ōrākei and saying to people, manaaki i te whenua, take care of the land and take care of our ocean. Try to leave a light footprint as you travel.”
