The sestercentennial is about so much more than Cook

Fifty years ago, the scope of Captain Cook's bicentenary was much narrower than it will be this year.

It was almost exclusively a celebration of the navigational feats and achievements of Cook.

A Māori perspective was largely absent. So too was any recognition of the role of the Tahitian chief and navigator Tupaia in these early encounters.

Separated from their homelands for perhaps 500 years, Māori saw Tupaia as a link to their ancient past.

Many remembered the Endeavour as ‘Tupaia’s waka’, not Cook’s.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
