E Hebe - used to be the old hui-a-tau -same thing, but a bit different - "they" are planning festive - um -stuff..
The dates & place: Lincoln events centre: 21st-23rd November -Te Taumutu hosting-
hui-a-iwi (some bureaucrat has invented this - if it was anything to do with 'huia' in the south, my antennae would have been sooo far out there-)
I would take paticular joy in meeting you & the others there - arohanui mai na n/n Keri -

I do what makes a difference, what helps others - If what was just makes ME feel better, I'd be out there, hunting whalers-

Report
I cannot get the site to copy Sacha’s earlier comment.
Silly comments like ”:bandaids dont stop bleeding” DO NOT FEED HUNGRY KIDS-
if they are in your vicinity, and you have spare food, your bounden duty as a rational human is quite simple – help feed the kids- -
E Russell - maybe that could be a chance for an Otautahi/ChChCh meet-up?
Joe? Ian? Hebe? Lillith? Everyone else, including me? -

And all i can add is- “ka mihi mahana, ka mihi arohanui ki a koutou katoa"* and how else can I help?
*I can suggest one thing – free writerly knowledge at the Kai Tahu huiaiwi – roll up,
proclaim you are interested in storytelling/poetry et al, and I will happily share whatever relevancies I have hard-learned over the past 50 years- nau mai! peke mai! Haere mai katoa!
Totally free!
(If the tribe charges, I will pay it from my fee-) -

Nope. Go read about the examples I gave you to understand it WASNT 'do unto others'- it was a whole new ballgame (in the South American sense!)
The phrase is, afterall, "Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself."

Utu and other reciprocity protocols are still about treating others alike. Even if that involves some unpleasantness.
That, Sacha, is *emphatically* NOT the case.
Utu** can mean *expunging* someone/whanau/hapu who was perceived as being at wrong/fault/invasive. It doesnt necessarily mean that the expunged ones were the ones at fault…very frequently, it *didnt* mean that.I refer you to the reason for the Kai-huaka feud & the putative reason for Te Rauparaha’s invasion of the South (which was only settled by The Greenstone Door…in the 20th century.)
**Today, it tends to mean a monetary transaction...
