Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa, nau mai hoki mai ki te kaupapa Real Talk.
I’m Tania Carr, and today in this episode, you are going to hear the powerful kōrero and and story of Pania Tepaiho aka Wahine Toa Hunting.
Pania has taken the stage at every one of our Real Talk Mō Ngā Rangatahi events in 2021 and again this year too. This is Panias kōrero from her time on stage in Ahuriri in Napier, where she shares with us her whakaaro on all things life.
She is straight up the guts my mate Parns, she is not afraid to say the things that are often left unsaid, but she also has soooon much love to give to those that she invites into her space, especially our rangatahi – known as Aunty to many rangatahi who confide in her for tautoko and awhi.
Here is Panias story...
Pania Tepaiho-Marsh (Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairoa) began hunting for her own mental health. Now she teaches other women to hunt free of charge, giving them skills to feed their children.
She prioritises women in need for her free trips – beneficiaries, solo mothers and survivors of trauma. The women don’t shoot for fun; they shoot to feed their families.
