The dawn, a tie, and Te Ao Māori inspires Race Unity Speech
It is an understanding of Te Ao Māori, and Rawiri Waititi’s tie, which has taken one Tawa College student to the national semi-finals of the Race Unity Speech awards.
Sixteen-year-old Lucia Bernards (Te Aitanga ā Hauiti ki Ūawa) is one of two lower North Island students who will represent the region at the semi-finals taking place on Friday.
Lucia, who also attended the national awards last year, and won the Tohu Aumangea – Hedi Moani Memorial Award for Advocacy, said she has looked at this year's theme, Kia Kotahi te Hoe – Paddle as One, using te ata, the stages of dawn.
“I decided to add a little bit of a twist to it, and decided to make it about Te Ao Māori and how we can use what they learnt way back today, to truly paddle as one towards race unity.”
