Tame explores how the old saying of "Te ka nohi ki te ka nohi" (Dealing with it eye to eye) creates a far more productive space for open dialogue around any issue.
Tame Iti (Ngai Tuhoe/Waikato/Te Arawa) is known as many things... Activist, Artist, Terrorist and Cyclist. Literally wearing his Tuhoe heritage on his face, Iti is hard to miss in a crowd despite being just 5ft 4" tall. His 40 year history of controversial and theatrical displays of political expression have included pitching a tent on parliament grounds and calling it the Maori embassy, shooting a national flag in front of government officials and the curious spate of public meetings where he appeared with a ladder so as to speak eye to eye with officials who were seated on stage. Iti explores how the old saying of "Te ka nohi ki te ka nohi" (Dealing with it eye to eye) creates a far more productive space for open dialogue around any issue. "No one can tell you that you are not important and your experience does not matter and if they do... I challenge them to say it to your face... where they can see your eyes and feel your breath."
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

  • I watched this today, this man in the New Zealand media was a terrorist. Well this Ted Talk shot that down. What an incredible talk and what an incredible man, Mana. Tami Iti I will show this in my classroom. Unbelievable, thank you for showing me who you really are. Take care my friend.

    • They were taking in troubled youth that the system could not handle and teaching them how to hunt and how to live off the land. Rumors went around saying they were training the youth to be terrorist which is not true. And because they are on land that is not governed by the crown they were illegally doing home raids in tuhoe. And named Tama Iti a terrorist for standing up to them.

  • We can all learnt a lot from this great man. Many Polynesians are fighting same battles and so are our ancestral cussies in south east asia. As a Tongan, I have a lot of respect for you. Us Tongans have an old saying: "Mate ae toa, tu'u ae toa", meaning "when warriors fall, more will take their places". That is how I see you. Your tipuna were warriors, and now your a warrior in this era that we may all look up to. Ofa atu

    • your comment demonstrates hatred and ignorance. yes we are a human race but our human race has different cultures. the world sees cultures as being separated. But its not like that. culture comes from their environment were brought up in. for example like how im Tongan, my culture teaches me our values, my background, kindness towards others etc. if i was to meet you in person i would express those values and i would love to learn about your culture. For many of us our culture is way of looking to the past in order to see tomorrow. If i did not know my culture or myself, i would be like a tree without its roots....Tame and many others know the value of culture and how the developing world hasnt taken responsibility for cultures worldwide....thank you commenting and i hope to see your reply sometime. all the best and God bless

  • Goosebumps. I am from the Philippines, and hearing the word “mana” (which we also still use here in my country in many of our languages) spoken by this Maori man, shows how enduring the concept of “mana” is to the descendants of the ancients who sailed the waters of the Pacific. In our languages, mana means personal inherited wealth or cultural heritage. But I like the extra layer of meaning the Maori have for it, which makes deep sense. Your heritage helps define what you’re made of, and what you can tap into for strength against those who marginalize you and your people.

    • Its mind blowing. Mana is psyche/ inner self/your conscience/you in punjabi. Punjab is state in india and Pakistan which got split up by the colonizers when they "freed" us. It's a very spiritual word strongly connected to Sikhism. It was crazy to hear a mouri man talking about mana. Humans have been global for a while.

But like Tame, I will air my strengths, weaknesses and passions. I do not pity the Pakeha. I feel sad for those who continue to divide cultures...from both sides. For me it is never Pakeha vs Maori.

Thats guardianship can't be brought with a treaty, but its good to see that progress is under way to address the disparity between the (haves) europeans and the (have-nots) native tribes of Aotearoa.
