Te Kanapu Anasta | Wānanga NFT

E te whānau, nau mai ki te wānanga tuaono o Blockchain Navigators! I'm amped as to get into another blockchain wānanga with my bro Te Kanapu Anasta. Te Kanapu has a background of teaching, developing and running cultural revitalisation kaupapa for iwi (paepae, tikanga, reo, whakapapa, kōrero tuku iho) kaupapa Māori development and implementation across organisations. Like myself, he's an Ika-ā-Whiro o Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo Māori and is passionate about our language and culture and the advancement of our people. Since I started to dive into learning about this blockchain space, Te Kanapu and I have been having yarns not only about the reo of the blockchain but also how our Māori culture and cultural values can be embodied and protected in this new realm. During our wānanga we'll dive into: * the transition of our culture into the digital space of the blockchain, crypto, nft, the metaverse. * the question "Can kawa and tikanga be carried into a digital space?" * how our taonga Māori might exist in the open market and how we might protect our taonga from exploitation and appropriation, especially in the digital space. * the question "Can the wairua | spiritual element of our culture be transitioned and adopted in the digital world?" He tīmatanga kōrero pea noa ēnei e hoa mā. These will be good starting points but I'm really excited to do some deep diving with the bro.
