About the speakers
Quack Pirihi is a cheeky rangatahi Māori activist from Takahiwai (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Wai, Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara). They work across a variety of kaupapa, including kaupapa taiao, whānau violence and suicide prevention - as well as kaupapa Takatāpui focussed on improving outcomes for Rangatahi Māori. From jumping in front of Deep Sea Mining Research Vessels in the middle of the ocean, to exploring ways to engage rangatahi in climate acton - they are committed to creating a strong future for mokopuna in Aotearoa.
Ko Tyra Begbie tōku ingoa, he uri tēnei nō Raukawa. Growing up as a pā kid, my whānau, whenua and people is what has grounded my kaitiaki obligations and led me down this ara of exploring what it is to be an active rangatahi kaitiaki for Ngā Mana o te Atua, Ngā Mana o te Taiao, and Ngā Mana o te Tangata. This kōrero is centered on rangatahi, climate change, and mokopuna decisions. Climate change is an intergenerational challenge that requires intergenerational solutions so let us activate the next generation of taiao change-makers in this space.
