ÅPÅTIKI, 04 February 2021: A North Island iwi has successfully progressed its Te Tiriti o Waitangi negotiations during the global pandemic by shifting its communications online and prompting it to investigate Internet access for whÄnau through the Settlement process.
While the nation was âstaying home and staying safeâ, the WhakatÅhea Pre Settlement Claims Trust (WPCT), who relied primarily on face to face communications through hui, turned to social media to keep whÄnau updated on Settlement negotiations and at the same time reaching out to whÄnau in a challenging time.
Graeme Riesterer, Chairman of the WhakatÅhea Pre Settlement Claims Trust says whÄnau of all ages were forced into using digital communications to connect and get their Covid19 updates through lockdown.
