Kerryn Vaughan - Leading with whakapapa
In this episode I chat about the Polynesian concept of whakapapa (pronounced Far-ka-pa-pa).
Whakapapa is about an endless line of people with interlinked arms that stretches back to the beginning of time in one direction, and in the other continues on until the end of time. We hold our place in that line, and when the sun shines upon us, which is our lifetime, it is our turn to be the custodians of what has been passed on to us, and how we must take ownership of that and do right by others, particularly our tribe.
