Tā Tipene O'Regan has long been on my dream list of people to
interview. He is a kaumātua, Ngāi Tahu leader and Member of
the Order of New Zealand. I was very humbled to sit with him
and hear some of his life story and wisdom about many topics.
Instead of asking about events of the past, I asked about who were
the people who influenced him most, in this almost 2 hour long
conversation. Below is an index of the topics we discussed
including his reflections on the concepts of Wairua, Whenua, Mana,
Kaitiakitanga and more. I am grateful to Anake Goodall for
helping connect us so this conversation could happen.
Seeds Podcast is a long term project to record life stories,
because they matter. It started in September 2017 and you can
find out about it and the more than 360 other conversations at
