    Haka Works talks with Dan Walker

    Dan Walker is the Global Co Chair of Indigenous at Microsoft. He says being Maori is his super power. Is there a place for indigenous knowledge within tech? Are corporations like Microsoft appreciative of the benefits that diverse perspectives from indigenous cultures can bring? What can be done to bring these two worlds together in a way that brings benefits for both parties.

    Haka Works talks with Mark Tume

    What's it like to be on the boards of some of Australasia's biggest companies? What are some of the attributes of a good director? Is there any difference in being a director of an iwi owned company vs a publicly listed company? With Maori shareholders now expecting their businesses to be more aligned to tikanga/ Maori values when operating, how does that impact on the role of directors?    Mark Tume is a full time company director. He has been on boards of some of the biggest companies in Autralasia and is currently chair of Infratil, Ngai Tahu Holdings, Te Ati Awa Iwi Holdings and a director of Retire Australia. He had a career in finance and investment, loves his surfing, and is working on his BJJ.   He is also a relation of mine from Ngati Maru in Taranaki. Our ancestors came from a small village, Purangi, which is right up the back of the Waitara River. Looking forward to hearing his thoughts on how we Ngati Maru can prosper moving forwards.

    And we are back! Talking to Dr. Rebecca Burke from her home in Germany about the haka performed by a right wing German group. “What the f…k are these people doing?....It’s really bad that someone with this kind of Nazi thinking would declare war on our government with a haka.”  Rebecca has a doctorate from Victoria Uni's Maori department. She has a really interesting story about her journey into te Ao Maori (the Maori World) and a non Maori perspective of what Maori culture can bring to the world.

    Haka Works talks with Jamie Tuuta

    The next wave of colonisation is the colonisation of our knowledge." Jamie Tuuta has been managing Maori assets for a long time, in his previous role as Maori Trustee and on commercial boards and trust boards of tribal entities around New Zealand. As tribes settle their land claims, how do we ensure the protection of less tangible assets, our intellectual property? Haka Wrks has seen a huge demand for our cultural property. How do we share it while maintaining our integrity.
