\"bellison\"Brett Eruera Ellison<\/strong>
\nKo Aoraki te mauka, ko Waitaki te awa, ko K\u0101i Tahu te iwi, K\u0101i Te Ruahihihiki te hap\u016b, ko Tamatea te whare, ko Otakou te w\u0101hi, ko Brett Eruera Ellison taku ingoa, t\u0113n\u0101 koutou katoa<\/p>\n

I was born and raised on the family farm at Otakou, a short walk from Otakou Marae, located on the Otago Peninsular near the southern city of Dunedin. Early years were balanced between understanding the changing environmental conditions necessary to ensure profitability from the land, whilst increasingly appreciating the linkages between my ancestors and the surrounding natural environment which forms an integral component of the identity that is Te R\u016bnanga o Otakou. The relationships developed between wh\u0101nau, the family farm, the marae, and the wider-community remain strong, and form an integral part of the person I am today.<\/p>\n

My education has been largely local, although several years were spent in England employed as a financial manager. In recent years tertiary studies have focused on human geography at the University of Otago (Te Whare W\u0101naka o Otakou). Having completed a bachelor of arts in 2004, I am presently finishing my Masters thesis entitled \u2018Grassroots responses to Marginalization: Community based-development in rural South Africa\u2019. This research is largely \u2018development\u2019 focused, which considers alternative tools for marginalized communities in post-apartheid South Africa to stimulate sustainable economic development. The case-studies for the research have been utilizing indigenous plant products, which in turn are harvested and processed into tea, and sold via the international Fair Trade markets. A central argument is that development focused at the community level can offer both economic benefits, alongside a heightened and more pronounced environmentally sustainable focus.<\/p>\n

During these studies there has also been the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Gail Tipa (K\u0101i Tahu) developing indigenous planning, management and research tools on the lower Taieri River. This process has involved consultation, facilitation, and encouragement of indigenous participation in environmental management. From a personal perspective I am increasingly interested in exploring alternative and diverse strategies in biodiversity protection, of which indigenous communities will play an important role. A key theme for all my future work will be translating K\u0101i Tahu visions of environmental management into tools to be used by future generations.<\/p>\n
