Ep 61 - Navigating Change through Hautū Waka, with Ayla Hoeta
Introducing Ayla Hoeta
Ayla Hoeta is a kaiāwhina - a Lecturer - with Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland. She’s a māmā of two teenage sons, with whākapapa roots connected to the south of Tāmaki Makaurau.
Carrying a deep understanding of racial segregation, poverty and the inequality rooted in Aotearoa, Ayla has sought to heal the generational wounds ingrained into our tangata whenua - the people of our land - by connecting to her identity.
As part of this healing, Ayla has helped to develop a framework called Hautū Waka; a navigational framework rooted in mātauranga Māori that you can use to help navigate complexity.
Hautū Waka encourages us to switch our thinking from human-centred design to whānau and whakapapa-centred design; rooting our decisions in ancient knowledge.
Also in today's episode, we dive deep into what it means to be a good Treaty partner and the true effects of subtle racism in the workplace.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
What it means to be a good Treaty partner
What you can do when you encounter racism in the workplace (because… yes, you will)
The deeper meaning behind the word whānau (it’s more than just a nuclear family of 2.4 kids and a dog)
Hautū Waka - What is the framework? Where did it spring from? How can you use it?
