Waka ama 节目 “长途旅行的空间”

Share:

塔拉纳基的两名警官布拉德·亨特利和西蒙·霍华德正在利用他们的文化根源帮助减少毛利青年的犯罪。他们创建了 Te Hapai Hoe,这是一个免费的 waka ama 节目,在完全沉浸式的环境中教授毛利文化、语言和家谱。该计划还提供实际帮助,例如驾照培训和急救课程。

曾与陷入困境的年轻人合作的亨特利指出,毛利人经常出现在犯罪统计数据中。司法部6月份的一份报告显示,毛利青年面临警察行动的比率是其他青年的两倍多。

亨特利和霍华德希望通过Te Hapai Hoe改变这些负面趋势。亨特利来自毛利部落 Ngai Tahu、Ngáti Mutunga 和 Te Atiawa,他当了七年的老师,看到他的学生在家里为问题而苦苦挣扎。这激发了他将自己对教学、警务工作和划桨的热情结合起来,发起了这项倡议。

该计划旨在通过waka ama来满足毛利青年的身体和精神需求,将他们与他们的文化联系起来。他们从塔希提岛购买了近3万美元的高品质独木舟,并在当地iwi的帮助下在塔拉纳基港获得了一个空间。

亨特利认为,这个地点为年轻人提供了一个平静的康复环境。他说:“对于毛利人来说,划桨应该很自然。我们正在使用waka进行教学和治疗。”该计划得到了包括前副局长沃利·豪马哈在内的其他警官的大力支持。

Te Hapai Hoe 始于 2020 年,但由于 COVID-19 的中断,直到最近才获得动力。与政府推出的备受争议的有许多毛利人参与的新兵训练营不同,亨特利坚持毛利青年需要支持活动和爱,而不是严格的纪律。

他说:“训练营不适合毛利人;这就像一个快速解决方案。”“Te Hapai Hoe 是一个长期的解决方案。我们的目标是提升年轻人的能力,为他们提供指导和机会。”
