TINA TALAIC
The Natural Learning Journey of a Māori Māmā
Tina shares about her journey as an indigenous Māmā Māori learning into her instincts and matauranga (traditional knowledge) as her family lives and learns outside of the mainstream.
Tina Talaic, also known as Kōkā T, is a Maori māmā, of Ngāti Pāhauwera, Ngāti Kahungunu ki te Wairoa, Tūhoe, Tainui, Ngāti Makerewai and Ngāti Kuri affiliations. Tina and her whānau (family) are natural learners, and her son Maioha is now 10 years old. They live in Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland, in Aotearoa. She is a musician, community organiser and traditional Kapa Haka and Te Reo (Maori performing arts and language) tutor and works to bring Waiata and Te Reo to many home education and preschool groups and festivals. Tina is one of the Pou Whenua—founding members—of Mauri Kura, a national collective of Māori whānau who are learning outside the mainstream schooling system.
