EXTENDED BODY:
Tina Waru is trying to get more indigenous people involved in the multi-billion dollar fashion industry and taking their ideas to the world.
Taranaki-born, Tina has lived in Australia for more than a decade, first working in the fashion industry as a makeup artist and then going on to study Psychology and Maori Health. It was while Tina was doing a community makeup course with aboriginal families and youth about five years ago that she began thinking about why there was no platform for youth from indigenous cultures, to break into the world of fashion.
So she came up with the idea of setting up one herself and launched The Indigenous Runway Project in Melbourne in 2012. Its aim is to provide indigenous people including Aboriginal, Maori and other First Nation people with a stepping stone into the fashion world, with design, modelling and styling workshops.
Read an edited excerpt from the interview below:
When you moved from the workshops to doing the shows, what was the transition like and how hard was it to get interest from the various fashion organisers? What kind of response or feedback were you getting when you launched?
It was quite difficult at first, when we had the young people doing the workshops we had them participate in another mainstream designer’s show, so that started to really get their interest, in terms of what they wanted to do with fashion and that was when I realised that we need to create this platform because they need to have their indigenous mentors there. From there it becomes the decision to contact the festivals and say, ‘Hey, we’d like to do this and that.’ So it took a couple of years to get the festivals on board.
Tell me about that time. What was the sort of response or reaction you were getting from various places?
In Australia there are a lot of political issues with the indigenous community there and it can be very very difficult to go into a space because of the politics. A lot of industry organisers try to steer away from that. One of the key things about fashion is that you can have a statement, but you don’t want to get caught up in a different kaupapa, a different purpose.
Was there a fear that things might become hijacked as you say? Turned into some kind of political event, was that their fear?
I think it could be. I really can’t say, because it wasn’t really expressed to me in that way, but it was in terms of, ‘Maybe we’ll look at it later.’ I can’t exactly say why that happened, but it happened. I made it my mission for our first attempt to write, ‘This is what I want it do to, I want to include Maori, include other indigenous communities’, so then it doesn’t become a political statement, it doesn’t involve the politics, it involves more about indigenous people empowering themselves, rather than giving another message. When I did that, and had arranged the event and got everything in place, got the right stake-holders on board, the doors opened.
What does this mean? There is a door open for those who want to get into the industry and for whatever reason there was a barrier or a lack of a pathway for them. What does it mean for types of design, textile prints and motifs that are used? Is there a particular fashion style that one might say is indigenous or is this more about those who are becoming the designers, the models and the garment makers themselves?
I think it’s about all of it. It goes from the fashion in terms of the story-telling and I think that is one thing that’s lacking in the industry, is getting to understand where the designers are coming from, where their designs are from and the story that comes with it. It is missed a lot in indigenous fashion. Being able to provide that to the audience and the industry itself is amazing, because they’re able to understand the patterns, the motifs, the textiles… they’re able to understand why the garments are presented in that way or designed that way. That’s the greatest thing about indigenous fashion. Now it’s evolving, because fashion is becoming more about story-telling as well now. People are able to get that now, and it’s sharing that with the world. It’s also about empowering indigenous people globally to go out to the world and say, ‘Here are these beautiful people, but also here are our skilled and talented people who can add to the industry’.

EXTENDED BODY:
Fifty years ago the Starship Enterprise set off on a five-year mission to boldly go where no man has gone before. It ended up as a cult classic and a commercial flop.
The American science fiction programme Star Trek ventured into then-alien territory in 1966 with a racially diverse cast and the first interracial kiss on TV. The original TV series lasted just three years, but spawned a franchise of television and big-budget movies like no other.
Marcus Berkmann – journalist, author and ardent trekkie – explores the Star Trek universe and its place in pop culture in his new book Set Phasers to Stun: 50 years of Star Trek.

Thingyan! Burmese celebrate their New Year
BODY:
It’s Thingyan time. Auckland's Burmese community are celebrating their New Year Festival, showcasing the seven ethnic nationalities with cultural and traditional performances, food stalls and more.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand’s Burmese celebrate Thingyan or New Year in April, a month that is very hot in Myanmar - so it’s customary to throw buckets of water over each other in the street as part of this water festival. “But maybe not here” laughs Yin Yin Htay, a former news reporter from Rangoon who immigrated to New Zealand in 2005, “It’s far too cold here to get so wet!”
Yin Yin Htay is Burmese, one member of a large and diverse Myanmar diaspora in New Zealand, made up of immigrants from dozens of the more than 100 ethnic groups of Myanmar; but regardless of their religious and ethnic spread they come together for Thingyan. I was lucky enough to join them over two days to taste the culture and hear the stories.
The first half of the Auckland festival is a day of cultural performances, food stalls and youth led activities at the Tamaki Christian Centre in the heart of Glenn Innes. The second day recognises Thingyan’s religious aspect and takes place at the Ratanadipa Buddhist Temple in New Lynn for first, the Sangha Dana Ceremony (offering requisites to Venerable Monks), and Catudisa (a public feast).
The venue for day one is a cacophony of activity, music and preparation. A young Burmese rock band perform on a stage profusely decked with brightly coloured yellow flowers; a simulation of the yellow padauk which blooms for only one day each year during Thingyan and is popularly known as the Thingyan flower. The band belt out contemporary pop-songs in Burmese, competing with cries of greeting, one family to another. It feels like everyone knows everyone in the Burmese community.
Dr Benjamin Soe, a G.P. from Mangere explains that there are seven main minority ethnicities, each with an eponomous state; the Shan, Kayin, Kachin, Kayah, Chin, Rakhine and Mon. And there’s a predominant ethnicity, the Burmah people. But at Thingyan ethnicity is less important than culture. “The fact that the majority of people at Auckland’s festival are Burmah and Mon doesn’t matter. Even though I’m a Christian I still celebrate this Buddhist Festival.” Benjamin explains that although there are other festivals throughout the year (Myanmar celebrates all religious festivals be they Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Chinese or Hindu and has no lack of public holidays), Thingyan is the most popular and widely recognised.
Hwte Hwte Myint is an early childhood teacher and volunteer who originally hails from the Shan State and arrived here in 1992. Each Thingyan she performs traditional songs and dances on stage dressed in a long red, black and white longyi. She sings Tu-po Tu-po for me, a short song popular during this festival for its “rhythm and joyful sentiments.” There is a strong cultural thread to the festivities. This is a community that has kept its art and identity strong, even amongst the second generation. Youth leader Tin Ma Ma Oo says that many young people will actively participate in Thingyan in order to help raise funds for their families back in Myanmar.
A lot of the ceremonies are youth focused, we’ve been keeping the culture alive - Tin Ma Ma Oo, Youth Leader, Burmese Community

Tin Ma Ma guides me past the exuberant young rock band to the kitchen where traditional dishes are being prepared and introduces the “Aunties” manning the large cooking pots. One Aunty is grating coconut to coat sweet palm-sugar dumplings. It’s a superb treat but one that can come with an optional twist. Tin Ma Ma warns that a little hot chilli might create a spicy surprise for the unsuspecting. “It’s a cheeky thing - to create fun with our food.”
Day II: The Sangha Dana Ceremony
The next day is an early start at the Ratanadipa Temple; every family attending has prepared food and offerings, brought as requisites to Venerable Monks. The rest of the food is shared as a public feast afterwards. Around three hundred are gathered, the main prayer room is almost as packed as the kitchens downstairs; with people in their best, long sleeved garments and longyi, wrap-around skirts that are worn by both men and women.
Dr Iris Nyo Nyo Aye is Sino-Burmese and a retired physician, here since 1995. For Iris attending the Sangha Dana ceremony is vital. She’s one of many who wish to “do meritorious good.” She tells me that Chief Abbot U Panna Vansa is the special and revered guest of honour, flown in from Penang, Malaysia and is the patron of many temples across the world including this one in Auckland.
The monks eat before midday and then begin a fast before the rest of the community eats. Having taken a vow of chastity the monks cannot be touched so the food is respectfully offered at arm’s length by all in the community.
Dr Hla Shan Pru McCann introduced herself as ‘Arakanese’ - the anglicised term for the Rakhine ethnicity. Pru is a doctor at the Family Planning Clinic in Counties Manukau. She says that the ultimate Buddhist goal is to purify the mind and reach Nirvana; “After the New Year’s festival I have dedicated myself to a three month retreat in Myanmar, three months of intense meditation is my goal for this year.”
Community leader Stanley Saw says the Burmese community has been growing slowly in New Zealand for a long time. “A few [mainly Anglo] Burmese families migrated to New Zealand before Burma’s independence in 1948. More followed after 1962 when the country became a dictatorship. There were approximately 30 Burmese families residing in Auckland by the mid-80s, which increased following the 1988 student uprising. This was through asylum as refugees and through the immigration point system. NZ started to accept Burmese refugees as part of its annual quota in 2000. The Burmese migrants settling in Auckland number around 3000 today.”
Education, births, deaths and marriages all happen here at the temple - Stanley Saw, Community Leader

Stanley Saw introduces me to the temple’s “smiling monk”, Abbot Reverend U Sumanasiri, the chief abbot at Ratanadipa. The monks are the heartbeat of the community. “The services that the Buddhist Monasteries provide for the community is immense - because we do not have a welfare system in Burma. It works beautifully for families, for businesses, and they also have the moral authority. Education, births, deaths and marriages all happen here at the temple.”

1:20 Community newspaper of the year
At a time of great uheaval in the world of print media - it's the smaller community newspapers that are holding their own. One of those recognised for its dogged determination to serve its community was the Kapi-Mana news, which won community newspaper of the year at the Canon Media Awards held on Friday night. Its reporter, Kris Dando, won community reporter of the year.
The newspaper covers Porirua and Tawa, just north of Wellington, with a circulation of almost 30 thousand.

Some of the country's top speed cubers gathered in Wellington yesterday to compete not just in the standard 3x3 cube, but competed in solving a whole range of puzzles, from big 7x7 cubes, pyramid puzzles, one-handed solving, and even blindfolded solving!
Jesse speaks to the current national speed cubing champion Alex Asbery, who took out the competition with an average solve time of 12.49 seconds.
