Working Together to Move Beyond Lateral Violenceby Carol Wrathall Recently I was invited to attend a workshop on Lateral Violence developed and facilitated by Rod Jeffries who was visiting New Zealand. Rod is Mohawk First Nation and resides on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Ontario, Canada. Many thanks to those whose support enabled this workshop to happen, including Molly Pardoe of Sandy Lane, ALAC, Turanganui PHO and Te Rau Matatini. You can read more about this workshop and see Rod's very impressive biography here. Tui, tuituia! - Weaving a Way for Mokopuna Oraby Tracey Johnson Tui, tuituia! Tena Koutou, The Wahakura Project for Injury Prevention and Safety Messagesby Carol Wrathall, 7 October 2008 "A wahakura is a woven flax bassinet for infants up to 6 months of age. This return to a traditional Māori way of sleeping babies creates a safe sleeping place for your baby." Dr David Tipene-Leach The Wahakura Project was launched in Gisborne in July 2007 and developed from matauranga Māori practices as a safe sleeping place project by Dr David Tipene-Leach. IPNANZ member Tracy Johnson bought the project to Tauranga Moana and advised IPNANZ of this kaupapa. I attended the Tauranga Wahakura hui and saw the potential of the Wahakura Project to invite Health Promoters, IP practitioners, young mothers, whānau and many others to learn and share about safety practices for our mokopuna. "Moving Beyond Lateral Violence" Workshops Begin13 January 2009 Mohawk First Nations guest presenter Rod Jefferies has started his series in Aotearoa with an opening speech at Parihaka Peace Festival, home of non-violence in Aotearoa.
