Travis Tawera - Te Ora I Te Wairua
Travis Tawera knows firsthand the darkness of suicide and depression. But he found a pathway to healing by providing kai for his whanau and community, and being in the outdoors. Now the Waipiro Bay hunter gatherer wants to share this with other men who are struggling, as Shaan Te Kani discovers.
At the humble whare of Travis Tawera, the worries of the world just seem to float away. No power. No phone coverage. No internet.
An outdoor bath overlooking Waipiro Bay. A boil-up pot on a wood burner stove, and hunting trophies galore.
This is “living off the grid”. And it is this lifestyle and environment that has been a valuable tool in helping Travis through his own struggles with suicide, depression and mental health.
It is no secret that the suicide rate among Maori men is at the highest that it has been in a decade.
So in a bid to help other men, Travis has opened his home and heart to support them, through his passion for hunting, fishing, diving, gathering kai, and being in the outdoors.
An event that absolutely rocked his life, was when he lost his sister Faenza to suicide 10 years ago.
He blamed himself for her passing, and it took him into a dark space.
“It was something really hard. I really blame myself for her passing,” says Travis.
“The day before she died she came to see me. She knocked on my door, she was told I wasn’t home. But I was home, I was just asleep.
“She was coming to reach out to me. I wasn’t there for her.
“I was always there for her, except for this time when she really needed me the most.
“I blamed everyone, myself mainly. But I blamed everyone that loved me. I pushed them all away.
“I didn’t listen to no one. I had this big weight on my shoulders and I didn’t really know what to do.
“I wanted to end my own life, which for me I thought would have helped. I would’ve lost all of that stress.
“I went for a walk in the bush one day. I had nothing but a rope in my pack. I was going to hang myself.
“I was lying in the ngahere (forest) looking up to heaven and I thought about my first experience with suicide.
“That was when one of my good mates passed away, Charlie, he hung himself.
“I went to some really dark places with that as well.
‘Amazing feeling being able to help others’
“One thing I really remember was that my Dad told me, if I ever did that he would spit on my grave.
“I was just blown away by that, and it made me think ‘whoa my Dad said that to me’.
“It made me sad but it also made me realise that there was more for me here in life.”
He used all of that reflection and thought, and came up with a different plan for his life.
“I was hunting everyday, fishing, out gathering kai, sharing it around with all of the whanau here in Waipiro Bay. And it gave me a warm feeling.
“There are all of these elders who can’t go out anymore. They really appreciated the kai that I was getting them, which made me feel good.
“And I thought wow, I can do this. This is what I want to do, this is what I need to do.
“I was growing my own vegetables, out hunting, fishing, diving everyday.
“I got out of those dark places and I had found my happy place, which was wicked.”
Now it’s time to share that with other brothers out there who are suffering, says Travis.
“It’s not easy for them to talk. Some of them feel that it makes them look weak. Just to talk.
“This is what I’m offering here on my whenua. I want to reconnect them back with their ancestors, reconnect them back with the whenua, and the old-school way of life.
“We don’t have power, phone service or internet here.
“Everything we do here has helped me in so many ways. I just want to be able to share that with other like-minded brothers out there.”
The name of his kaupapa is Te Ora I Te Wairua, which means “keeping our spirits alive”.
“Which is exactly what I want to do, is keep our spirits alive,” says Travis.
“I want to let them know it’s all good to talk, it’s all good to cry. You’re not weak if you cry.
“I actually look at people who cry as someone who is really brave, and they are a really strong person.”
Travis has already started taking online registrations through his Facebook page Ngati Providers Kai Mo Te Tepu.
“I started the page last year. With everything I do around the whenua, I was doing it for years before I started the page. But I didn’t have a phone or camera. I wasn’t capturing any of it.
“But sitting around with the whanau, just talking about different hunts, and the different things that I had seen, they were like ‘wow cuzzie, you should be videoing all of this and sharing it with the world’.

Gisborne kicks heels up at second Food Festival
MARVELLOUS, fantastic and just wow were some of the words used to describe the Gisborne Street Food Festival in Reads Quay this evening.The woman behind the event, Amy Spence of Black Fig Catering and Events, was rapt with how it all came together.It's cool, such a fun night.
There have been more than a thousand people through here.She ran a food festival earlier this year and it was a roaring success with most of the stall holders running out of food. Tonight's was much the same but bigger. Some of the stalls ran out of food after two hours but some lasted to the end.Yoko Rodgers from Yokosushi sold out with an hour-and-a-half to go.It was our first time. We didn't know how much to bring.It was the same for the Tatapouri Restaurant. Their smoked fish bruschetta was so popular they sold out with an hour to go.The event ran from 4.30pm to 7pm and people were everywhere, milling around the 31 stalls, with families enjoying the food and drinks then settling on the riverbank to enjoy the music.As well as food, wine, cider, juice and coffee, there was facepainting and the steam train WA 165 was parked up for everyone to see and look through.

Case 78571 - Chandler, AZ - August 19, 2016
Unedited Witness Testimony: I really don't know where to start with describing this experience. Not only did I witness what appears to be a UFO, but the object(s) appear and disappear 5 different times within a 3 hour time span. Below has each sighting broken down, along with multiple video recordings: Sighting #18/19/16 (around 9:15pm-9:22pm PST) - no video The first event occurred north east of Chandler, Arizona where I, along with 2 of my friends noticed an extremely bright light radiating in the sky around 9:15pm PST. As we positioned ourselves better to see what was going on, we noticed 2 smaller lights below the larger one in the shape of an equilateral triangle. After a few minutes of hovering without movement, the light on the bottom left disappears, followed by the bottom right light, leaving only the larger light, which slowly began moving creeping towards the west until it too disappeared after a minute. Unfortunately we did not think to record the first even since we were in absolute awe over what we just saw, that is until 1 hour later when it returned. The following is a description of each video I recorded, along with time stamps for verification. Sighting #2 8/19/16(10:22pm-10:27pm PST) I recorded 2 videos of the second sighting. Unfortunately I did a fairly poor job recording this particular event, but i have 2 videos of even #2 where you can definitely see the object: Sighting #3 8/19/16 (10:47pm-10:52pm PST) Okay, this is where you can really start seeing the weird s**t that's going down. You can see in the beginning a plane flying overhead, clearly moving faster and with the lights blinking like a normal plane, yet the object below is either hovering, or just moving slowly to the west. at 0:56, I zoomed into the object, but the craziest part was at 1:04 when the light flashes then changes from a whole orb into an eerie, doughnut-shaped circle (i did not change the zoom at the moment it changed shape and turned from a single orb into its doughnut-shape). I didn't even notice the doughnut shape until I watched it afterwards since I was holding the phone above my head. During the last minute or so it had moved out of my line of sight so i'm pretty sure the blinking object during around 4:20 was just a plane. Sighting #4 8/19/16 (11:09pm-11:12pm PST) Almost 30 minutes later it came back, except unlike with Sightings #2 and #3, there was a second light.The hovered side by side for a couple minutes. Unfortunately for this one, i missed recording the craziest part, when after 2 minutes of hovering still, one of the lights suddenly orbits behind the other, then disappears. Sighting #5 8/20/16 (12:11am-12:13am PST) An hour later, the light returned, but this time back as one light again. We wanted to get a better view so we walked around the neighborhood to find a better angle. None of the videos were edited, altered, or tampered with in any way. I've been searching online all day today trying to find other people who witnessed one or more of the events. I truly want to believe that was I saw was extra-terrestrial, however, I can't for sure prove that it was. I would love to know if anyone else has recordings, an idea of what this was, or can help breakdown this footage to provide a more rational explanation.
Please be cautious with all UFO video until the case is completely investigated. Most UFO sightings are resolved as something natural or man-made.
