Kanohi ki te kanohi

Kanohi ki te kanohi, Rae ki te rae

Face to face, forehead to forehead

The implications of this kōrero go beyond “close quarter combat” but definitely speak to being present, being direct, being personal and committed in any engagement.

The bigger picture is: how do we prepare ourselves for being Kanohi ki te kanohi, rae ki te rae?

  • Be informed
  • Be current
  • Gather the evidence
  • Cultivate the allies
  • Have each other’s back

Just as our tīpuna trained for combat, so must we be trained and disciplined in our present-day form of combat.

Resolutions

 

In the months leading up to Hui-ā-Tau, we put out a call for resolutions. All resolutions need to be sanctioned by the Te Kahu Kiwi (National Executive, and Te Reo Areare) or a meeting of an Area Council, Branch, Aronui Tomua or Komiti Pasifika.
