I\u2019m here to break down boundaries between complicated places and the people they insist on keeping out. It\u2019s our birthright to be here, and the birthright of our people to be included. I\u2019m here to have a presence in these international spaces. I\u2019m here to be a shit-stirrer. I\u2019m here to practice playful and intentional protest, and I\u2019m here to be guarded and guided. We deserve to be in the room.<\/p>\n\n<p>Without karakia (prayer) and the karanga (a call or summon) from the land that you stand on, you are not manuhiri (guest),&nbsp; you are an intruder. If you don\u2019t adhere to the practice of the Pacific, you are both undermining the mana (power or authority) of the people and you\u2019re putting yourself in danger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Papat\u016b\u0101nuku (Earth mother) shows us that they know how to cleanse themselves of mamae (hurt or pain). They know cyclones will wash away homes and they know the extent of flooding. Papat\u016b\u0101nuku knows the scale that deep sea mining will have on themselves. Papatuanuku will still remain, but our livelihood, our connection with the whenua (land), can and will change drastically if things continue to be ignored.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can\u2019t karanga (sacred call) to an empty marae (meeting grounds) and you can\u2019t mihi to a broken moana. We can\u2019t be M\u0101ori without the moana (ocean), we are not M\u0101ori without the moana!&nbsp;<br><br>Our stake is our karakia.&nbsp;<br>Our stake is our hononga ki te whenua.&nbsp;<br>Hoki mai te moana.

Our rangatahi (young person or young adult) already have to learn about the trauma of their parents and grandparents, let this not be another thing that we have to pass on to them our descendants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Let us pass on our beautiful stories, our whakapapa (genealogy), our rongoa (traditional M\u0101ori healing), not more horror.
