“When people are empowered to self-heal, they reclaim their mana. They are no longer passive recipients of care — they are active creators of their own wellbeing.” — Rebecca Collett on creating a mental health support programme in Ohakune. #Māori #Indigedon #Rongoā #ManaMotuhake #ETangata

Moana Jackson: There is no word in te reo Māori for ‘cede’ | E-Tangata

“No matter how powerful rangatira might presume to be, they never possessed the authority nor had the right to give away or subordinate the mana of the collective.” — Moana Jackson.

OK, so the results are in. Growing potatoes in a felt bag was good. The yield wasn't amazing but we got probably 4-5 times as many potatoes out of the six seed ones we planted in the bag.
-
The clear winner were those we planted in the ground. I've never seen potatoes this big before in my life. Absolute monsters! We planted five agria seed potatoes and came out with easily five times that amount of monstrous bastards.

Nau mai ki te tau hōu Pākehā, e hoa mā. Along with books, I love gardening (I'm not very disciplined, so I probably like the idea of it more than the doing).
-
For Father's Day 2024, my kids gave me a felt growing bag with six compartments and some bags of compost. I grabbed a bag of agria seed potatoes from Mitre 10 Mega. I filled the felt bag with a mix of compost and basic potting mix with a seed potato in each compartment.
-
After digging through three of the compartments, we have new potatoes! From three seed potatoes, a small abundance. Success!
-
I've never been successful growing potatoes before and was wary of whether this would be successful, being that I placed the bag on a concrete patio in an unsheltered position. The felt bag is black and would absolutely bake in the sun. But the proof's in the pudding.
-
Many rads I know are equally enamored with gardening. There's something about growing your own kai, exercising your personal sovereignty, gradually removing some of your needs from the State and its industrial food system. I encourage everyone to grow some food. It feels awesome!

@phil_stevens @paulhellyer
Couldn't bring myself to read the full article.
Act is playing the full right wing playbook (not conservative). The Tories tried it and it worked until it didn't. But they seem to think AoNZ is like the US. It's not.
Our Treaty partners carry the biggest burden of their learning this.

Big mihi to Aleisa and Matua Nick Roskruge who I met today when I dropped into the Tāhuri Whenua: National Māori Vegetable Growers Collective office here in Te Papaioea today to pick up a copy of 'The Kūmara Vine' by Aunty Arohanui Lawrence.
-
Making new connections is the best part of life and Aleisa threw in some kamokamo and hue kākano. Matua Nick gave me a Matakoura kūmara to sample as well. Awesome people!
-
And as always a mihi to my fellow swamp anarchist @helenmlehndorf who clued me in on this book via the 'Gram.

Protect Te Aka Whai Ora

A truly Māori-led agency that has the power to resource and lift up kaupapa Māori, and iwi and hapū health services, can improve health not just for Māori, but all communities in Aotearoa. But National, ACT, and NZ First parties have vowed to disestablish Te Aka Whai Ora.
