- Bianca Ranson describes her journey from an education in a total immersion Maori to running an award-winning business that combines Maori culture and the natural environment. Rather than compromising who she was as a Maori woman, in an industry that didn't understand or acknowledge her culture, she started her own business in order to work in the way she needed to. With $200 in her pocket, Potiki Adventures was born.
Bianca is the founder and director of Potiki Adventures, an award-winning adventure tourism company that combines Maori culture and the New Zealand outdoors, and is also globally recognised for its work with Maori youth.
As a Maori woman Bianca did not want to compromise her beliefs and values when going to work, so starting Potiki Adventures was a way to incorporate these into her workplace. Potiki Adventures now offers employment to people in an environment that celebrates being Maori and living and working by Maori values, customs and traditions.
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
That was beautiful. I use to work with Bianca in a retail magazines store in our teens and she was as warm natured and passionate as she is in her speech. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this and very proud of how far she has come🤗
They should do that immersion program everywhere in NZ!!! It would be amazing for all the troubled Māori youth who are losing the connection to their culture, to regain their sense of identity. This girl is amazing and I pray she continues to make a difference.

Amazing. What it is like to have to live in two worlds as Māori in a predominantly pakeha world. Your message was so well recieved and I resonated so much with your korero. May you long continue to bring change that is positive to the world! Ngā mihi nui x

Thank You Bianca 🙏
Beautiful kõrero, thank you for the Mahi you do
I have fond memories of Potiki adventures from when we were at Pukewhakataratara, Massey High School. Bianca takes us out to the Waitakere Ranges for a hikoi. It was mean! Stink weather as usual, but it was mean!
Mauri Ora!
Love this so much
Amazing. Very proud and very inspired.
You go girl
brilliant
I love this
This is a beautiful kaupapa and korero - operating from Te Ao Maori to grow tangata whenua katoa especially our rangatahi rangatira!
Gee- choose 1 language and stick with it!
thankyou
what was the book she was referring to? by some Dr.? appreciate her sharing her journey that is shared among so many indigenous cultures... on the clash between surviving in a world that doesn't acknowledge your existence or the contributions of your people. helllllla props and love !
Dr. Ranginui Walker, Ka Whawhai Tonu Mātou
Are you implying that racism in NZ is greater today than it was in the 80s and 90s because of Ranginui Walker? Because I might just have to disagree with you on that one.
thank you
@@Xashe it definitely is tf
you are awesome.
ka rawe Bianca au
lovely talk....how ever, I come from a generation where maori language, maori culture was strapped out of us....not by the hands of our own people, but by hands of 'tauiwi', non-maori. Moving forward will happen until those wrongs are made right! A national apology to all Maori and especially those who have gone, those who fought to survive... hence why the mamae still continues. Please don't say we are 'ALL NZders' if we are still the minority...
He rite ki te kupu kua kōrerohia. Just like spoken word...... rhyme, flow, passion, presence and pono! Ka mihi R
Hello! I have a school-project about Maori. I was wondering if someone could tell me a little more about it, as I have become very interested in Maori. First off, how should I actually pronounce it? Please take no offense from this, as I mean no offense, I really just want to know. Secondly, how are your lives today? Do you have many Maori friends? What are some current problems you are struggling with? What do you feel about the history of how you were treated by European travelers?
Thanks for reading my questions, I hope you'll answer some of them:)
Kia Ora koe Cecile Crusoe
Have you learnt much yet as it has been 4 years
where are you from and what nationality if you don't mind me asking
Its hard to explain how to pronounce our words it's easier to learn by hearing it from mouth to ear plus different tribes have different accents, dialects, lingo and sounds
Basics is wrapping your tounge around the sounds like
A - sounds like - ah
E - sounds like - eh
I - sounds like - E
O - sounds like - or
U - sounds like - ew
H - sounds the same
K - sounds like the English letter - C
M - sounds the same
N - sounds the same
P - sounds the same
R - sound is hard to explain you got to roll your - R
T - sounds the same
W - sounds the same
Wh - sounds like - F
Ng - sound is hard to explain 😁
There are only 14 letters in our alphabet
A,E,G,H,I,K,M,N,O,P,R,T,U,W and the Wh, sound as well as the Ng, sound
Hope it helps
Our lives today ?
😆 Depends on the individual you ask it's a deep complex culture
for example the term Maori
was placed upon us by Europeans to class us indigenous people of Aotearoa under the same umbrella as one people but we aren't 🤣
every tribe is unique and within our tribe's we have sub-tribes that makes us further unique
We never called ourselves Maori
for me personally I identify myself as my Father's tribal name which is TUHOE who inhabit the Te Urewera territory
So I would identify myself as a
TUHOE first an foremost while still acknowledging my Mothers tribe Rongomaiwahine who inhabit the
Te Mahia Peninsular territory
and my Scottish blood from my grandfather my father's father whom we have never met
Sadly he left my grandmother when my father was 2 years old so I've probably got a lot of unknown really close Scottish relatives through his ancestors and his descendants if he went on to father more children
And Maori second
Yes have many friends from different cultural backgrounds including maori
The struggles are too vast and deep 😆 maybe for your mind to grasp and comprehend the generational pain caused by the ripple effects the design of colonisation does to a people and there future descendents
Hope that helped with your questions
But every tribe has their own experiences and stories
♥wow beautiful
Could someone please be kind in helping me with correctly referencing this video? Thanks in advance
This is a sister that is Maori and has Vision.
kia kaha waihine...

did they bleep out the name of her company?
Potiki Adventures
Tautoko sis
Loved this. But as a white person I've always felt quite envious of indigenous people, I wish I could see the world from that deep connected place and perspective. Instead of only reaching out to Maori kids can't she let a few wannabes like me join in too? :)
Why is it such a struggle to learn TeReo in NZ ?!?
The505Guys- And there in lies the wound and the disconnect of the White Colonial bloodlines. Amnesia. I feel like if we can all find our way back and live in a connected way to our individual and unique Whenua and extract from our own mythologies we can find common ground and turn this separatist model around. Respect for Culture begins with relearning our own!
Remember the Kahui twins, Maori will never rise until they are avenged
Remember Mark Lundy????
Nga mihi nui ki a koe! He tino pai to korero me whakaaro me mauri
There was not much about Maori customs, values and culture.
I´m watching this from overseas. I see that it is also maori custom to fill a supermarket trolley up with chips and alcohol and force your way past security without paying then blame it on pakehas.
? NOT NORMAL ?
Revisionist Maori history. Turns out they learnt alot from the British... It is an intrinsic part of Maori lore that they were indeed not the first to Aotearoa, so how can they talk about devastation and loss of land? Were they not also in a perpetual fight with the tahitians, they would never go to New Zealand. The Patupaiarehe were there at least before the Maori. As too were the red heads, ancestors of Monica Matamua and the Ngati Hotu. The Maori also genocided the Moriori. How can they talk about loss?
Tell me about your warrior traditions. How did they view lazines and morbid obesity???
They were warriors of the Oceans when they were fishermen, hunters, and gatherers.
Denise Richard.. Dunno, ask your mother
They weren't hunter gatherers, they were agricultiralists
@@parisan9985 how do you know lol. I'm a maori hunter gatherer. Your probably just a white guy that ubers your dinner while you lie on your couch. Couch Potato 🥔 😂.
Cringe
Maori is a mindset, she’s obviously mostly European but she likes to separate herself from the population who doesn’t care about race I guess it’s a hobby she’s into
How did arrogance slip into the room.. Gtfoh
@@justintyme1171 and here you are
