LIANZA Conference - Generation Ngai Tahu

Generation Ngai Tahu by Sir Tipene O’Regan and Hana O’Regan
The Audience warmly welcomed both Sir Tipene O’Regan and his daughter Hana O’Regan at this mornings first key note address as the 2009 LIANZA annual conference got underway.
They engaged in some light hearted intergenerational banter pulling each other up in areas such as pronunciation and family politics.
The thrust of their talk covered the intergenerational transmission of knowledge and their own generational ‘take’ on the issue.
During their talk they walked the attentive audience through the way a body of Ngai Tahu knowledge had been impacted over the years by the priorities applied to the transmission of information by each generation.
