NURSES CONFERENCE TO PUT ‘FIRE IN THE BELLY’ FOR ARMY OF MĀORI NURSESThe Indigenous Nurses Aotearoa Conference begins at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland tomorrow. NZNO Kaiwhakahaere Kerri Nuku says the conference will be unique in that it is Māori-run and about maintaining the authenticity and integrity of Tikanga throughout. But she says most of all it will be empowering. The theme of the conference is ‘Raising an Army of Māori Nurses’, which harks back to words spoken by Māori politician Apirana Ngata early in the 20th Century, who called for just such an army..... www.nzdoctor.co.nz/article/undoctored/nurses-conference-put-fire-belly-army-maori-nurses

NEW MĀORI AND INDIAN STREET NAMES IN PUKETĀPAPAThree new roads in Hillsborough have been newly created due to a subdivision development. Puketāpapa Local Board has adopted two Māori names - Karakia Lane meaning to recite ritual chants, say grace, pray, recite a prayer, chant, and Anahera Lane meaning angle – and one Indian name - Prakash Lane, meaning bright light. Using Māori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Māori identity. This is encouraged in the Auckland Plan too as Māori identity is Auckland’s point of difference in the world...... ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/articles/news/2019/08/new-maori-and-indian-street-names-in-puketapapa/
