Haurua Jerry, is a Kaiako Mau Taiaha, in Te Kuiti. His solace and passion over the 35 years he spent in and out of institutions, was Mau Rākau. It linked him to self -discipline, tikanaga and Te Reo. Now back in the community the Generator staff encouraged Haurua to turn his passion for teaching Mau Rākau into a livelihood. Haurua was overwhelmed to see that the community and schools accepted, valued and endorsed his time and skill and his enterprise has blossomed.
