https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=658741719255554 LET’S START WITH THE PAST From 2023, Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum content will be part of all schools and kura local curriculum.

The phrase “to understand the future we must understand the past” is a foundational concept often reflected in New Zealand communications, most notably echoing the Māori proverb

“Ka mua, ka muri” (walking backwards into the future). 

While this sentiment applies to many historical contexts, in the context of recent NZ media, it relates to the following:

• Cultural Context (Ka Mua, Ka Muri): The proverb implies that the past is visible to guide the present and future. It is frequently used in discussions about New Zealand’s histories to help understand the present and plan for the future.
• One NZ (Vodafone Rebrand) Ad: A recent, highly discussed advertisement for One New Zealand featured a storyline about an adopted Kiwi exploring their roots and background. This storyline centers on finding one’s past to connect to their identity/future, though it received mixed, sometimes negative, reactions regarding how it portrayed this journey.
• Safety/Social Campaigns: The principle is often applied to campaigns aiming to prevent future accidents by understanding past mistakes, such as the 2014 “Mistakes” road safety ad.
• Corporate Identity: Similar themes are used in New Zealand to encourage businesses to understand their history to build a better future, as highlighted in studies on organizational identity. 

The sentiment is a common theme in New Zealand, emphasizing reflection on history (whakapapa/collective memory) as a tool for informed action

The phrase “To understand the future, we must understand the past” encapsulates a philosophy often highlighted by New Zealand educational institutions, including Christchurch-based institutions, to emphasize the importance of history,

Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and local narratives in shaping future leaders. This approach helps analyze present-day issues and provides context for cultural identity. 

Key aspects related to this theme in New Zealand, often highlighted by academic institutions, include:

• Contextualizing the Future: Understanding history helps to analyze the origins of present-day issues and prepares for future challenges.
• Māori Histories: A focus on Aotearoa New Zealand’s history of colonisation and Māori perspectives is crucial to education, with ongoing efforts to ensure these are well-supported.
• Cultural Identity: Recognizing the past helps individuals locate themselves in the context of time and understand where they belong.
• Critical Thinking: Studying history promotes critical thinking, civic awareness, and learning from past mistakes. 

This educational focus ensures that students in New Zealand, including those in Christchurch, are well-versed in the nation’s history, which is seen as a key factor in building a better future

“The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.” “A generation which ignores history has no past – and no future.” “A nation that forgets its past has no future.”

Really Shane – as a political figure your colleges dont agree and you and Winston wouldn’t be doing this if The living documents of liberty and salvation known as The Restoration wasn’t over the target

PS I dont appreciate death threats have passed on the details of such, know the consequences of such acts are immensely adverse for New Zealand and beyond and all in it, the rahui stands for a reason so I suggest someone tells this person to pull their head in before they hurt you all. I have just dealt with witches see Go straight to jail post for further details, so the consequences are world wide and effect and impact on huge scales – Maori need to understand that I was mandated by the elders and while you may not comprehend what and how I go about things know I do it for you and God.
