- How many of you know the names of your grandparents? Great grandparents? Great great grandparents? For most of us, their pictures are something to flick through at family gatherings. For Karyn, her whakapapa was the key to saving her life.
Karyn grew up in Invercargill away from her family roots on the East coast of New Zealand.
As a lecturer at the University of Otago, she has received multiple honours and awards for the work she has done in reviving the Maori culture and language. Her practice of teaching her students in the dark, as utilised by Maori years ago, has started a widespread conversation among academics about ancient forms of learning.
Karyn never had much connection to her family until later in life, but the process of finding herself and where she came from saved Karyn’s life, as you’ll hear her talk about at TEDxDunedin.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I am my mountain and my mountain is me. Ngā mihi nui e tuahine. Thank you for sharing such a delicate subject of life death identity & whakapapa. I wish you nothing but wellness & prosperity as I sit here tears streaming down my face.
Kia ora Karine! Thank you for your wishes - I'm very well now (although a little iron deficient at times!) and life is busier than ever. I didn't mean to cause tears - everything is good :)

It always amazes me that such a small percentage of Maori blood overrides any other bloodline or genetics, let's face it, there is no such thing as Maori, only part Maori, and that part is getting so diluted it will be one day insignificant. All this must have to do with skin colour, money or ego there can be no other reason for this separatist insecure behaviour, I wonder if Maori will still be playing this separatist game forwhat ever advantage in another thousand years or will the fad fade away, I hope for Maori sake it is sooner rather than later
