In this video, consultant psychiatrist Dr Kiri Prentice (FRANZCP) explores why the Māori Declaration of Independence – He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tīreni — matters, and why it is important for understanding Aotearoa New Zealand’s constitutional foundations. Dr Kiri Prentice is Māori and from the Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngāti Awa iwi (tribes). The video provides a high-level overview of He Whakaputanga, signed in 1835, and explains its role as the foundation for te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Māori-language text) and the Treaty of Waitangi (the English-language text). It introduces key Māori concepts including rangatiratanga, kīngitanga, mana, and kāwanatanga. The video also explores the relationship between He Whakaputanga, te Tiriti o Waitangi, and the Treaty of Waitangi, including why differences between these texts matter. It considers the recognition of Māori sovereignty by King William IV, the significance of Te Wakaminenga (the Confederation of United Tribes), and why understanding He Whakaputanga remains essential for contemporary discussions about Māori sovereignty, governance, and constitutional arrangements. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Hook 00:26 Introduction 00:51 What’s Coming Up 01:13 My Approach 04:51 Constitutional Foundations 05:31 He Whakaputanga 07:00 Relationship Between He Whakaputanga & Te Tiriti 08:22 Why Care About He Whakaputanga? 09:36 Wānanga Prompts 10:37 Outro 🎥 CREDITS & ATTRIBUTION Stock Footage & Video Clips - Storyblocks, Archives New Zealand (official YouTube channel) Images & Graphics - Pixabay, Pexels, Wikimedia Commons Music & Sound Effects - Artlist

In this video, consultant psychiatrist Dr Kiri Prentice (FRANZCP) explores what makes a good and fruitful wānanga (deliberation and learning together). Dr Kiri Prentice is Māori and belongs to the iwi (tribes) of Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngāti Awa. The video outlines the four core elements of wānanga: kaupapa (subject/purpose), whanaungatanga (relationships), tikanga (right way of doing things), and wānanga (deliberation and learning together). It introduces key Māori learning concepts including ako (learn/teach), wheako (experience), tuakana–teina (older–younger sibling relationship), and wā (time). Using the pūrākau (story) of Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatūānuku (Earth Mother), the video examines different roles and perspectives in group learning and decision-making, and shares a whakataukī (saying) about how understanding becomes fruitful. The video concludes with some prompts for groups to wānanga together, to deepen their own shared learning experience. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Hook 00:16 Introduction 00:35 What’s Coming Up 00:47 Wānanga 01:40 Pūrākau (Story) 04:00 Māori Learning Philosophies 05:54 Wānanga Essentials 07:37 What Makes a Good Wānanga 09:17 Wānanga Prompts 11:09 Outro 🎥 CREDITS & ATTRIBUTION Stock Footage & Video Clips - Storyblocks, Archives New Zealand (official YouTube channel) Images & Graphics - Pixabay, Pexels, Wikimedia Commons Music & Sound Effects - Artlist
