Making Connections - The Power of Oral Storytelling | Trent Hohaia | TEDxUOA
As an increasingly isolated generation, that spends less time face to face with other human beings than at any time in history, oral storytelling has become more important than ever. It is through storytelling we are able to find identity in the present, and to better navigate the future through connection to the past. Trent is passionate in the pursuit of the repatriation of traditional Māori learning methods into the homes of Māori whanau.
Held deeply in this passion is a belief is that the old ways of learning of his people are relevant, powerful and have helped esoteric knowledge bases survive the many oppressions faced. He is a proud descendent of Ngāti Maniapoto, of the Tainui Waka. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

What a powerful, beautiful and inspiring story, and so well told. Tēnā rawa atu koe!
I believe we all knew about connecting our roots, but we never were able to put it into words. Now this guy has his accent. But could’nt have said it anymore perfect. Thank you for this
That's powerful! The art of oral storytelling is quite a gift in modern cultures
Tēnā koe Trent. Ngā mihi mahana mō tōu kōrero.
This was such a beautiful talk and is helping me look at my Masters work, and my own connection to Aotearoa with new eyes.
The beauty and the connection I felt in this korero, brought a tear to the eye. Thank you for sharing Trent alot of Māori, myself included can relate to alot of what you speak of which makes us connected. This is so in depth another tear from the eye fell. Thank you again Trent Hohaia.
