Webinar Four: Maunga, mana and money: Visions on the emerging transcolonised environment.

In 1990 one could drive up Mount Eden and One Tree Hill had a lone pine on it. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority o Tāmaki Makaurau (statutory co-governance entity) recognises these ancestral mountains for their paramount place in the historical, spiritual, ancestral and cultural identity of the thirteen iwi and hapū of Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau.

This search for indigenous identity is also being pursued by Eke Panuku, the property arm of Auckland Council, which has a major role in making Auckland look and feel more Māori. And in another emerging vision, the first large-scale Māori direct investment fund Te Puia Tāpapa has been formed out of 26 iwi entities. This fund seeks longer-term investments rather than the shorter 5 year timeframe typical of private equity and allows iwi to invest in places it otherwise could not.

Time: 6.30pm – 7:30pm

Date: Wednesday 16 June

Location: Online
