heads whiti ki te ora at Hoanai Waititi Marae
Whiti ki te Ora is a cultural programme at Hoani Waititi marae helping juvenile offenders reconnect with the West Auckland community. In 2019, His Honour Judge Heemi Taumaunu, Chief District Court Judge, called a hui and offered a wero: “ko tēnei waa” – now is the time to establish a new wānanga tikanga that is in the best interests of rangatahi taiohi going through the youth justice process, as well as their whānau.
Marama Castle Brown talks to Dale about the programme.
