🌀Verse 2 of “Pepeha” by @rawhitiroa It’s been an honour to release this track alongside the brothers @tipenemusic @channc33y @horyfulla13 and @te_kahu_roretana . It’s a waiata that brings our oral traditions of Pepeha, of speaking life into our foundations, our place to stand, where we come from and where we belong into the vibe and style of today. In our Pepeha, we acknowledge our sacred mountains, our rivers, our tribal territories and our tribal affiliations in a way that binds us to our people and our environment. When we share our Pepeha we share who we are and those we belong to. We created this song together with the guidance of our tuakana @tipenemusic to encourage our people to re-engage with our Pepeha, to walk our whenua, to dive in our moana, climb our maunga and swim our awa. We hope this inspires other to bring their Pepeha to life! My verse speaks to my centre of the universe. Whangaroa!! 📸 @isaac_tereina

Whītiki Tauā | Official Music Video Kua kotahi tau e hoa mā! Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the day Te Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti marched onto parliament in the biggest and most beautiful display of power, unity and mana we have seen in generations.   Ko tātou tēnei! This is US! Whether you were physically part of the Hīkoi as it moved through Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu or you supported from home, from mahi or from overseas, EVERYONE who believes in the promise of te Tiriti o Waitangi; Tangata Whenua, Tangata Moana and Tangata Tiriti made the @toitu_te_tiriti movement what it is - THE PEOPLES MOVEMENT. Kia ū tonu tātou, kia kotahi te hoe! With all that’s going on in Aotearoa and the globe we need to hold firm to our vision and work together to move towards our Hawaiki Hou, towards the future we WANT to create for our tamariki mokopuna. Whītiki Tauā e hoa mā! Kia mau ki te kakau o te hoe! Let us stand together and take our active role in shaping the future of our country. A connected, loving and strong country committed to embodying the promise of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Whītiki Tauā | Te Waiata | The Song This pao was composed in the early stages of Te Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti and was recorded, produced and released as we made our way through the country together. It was chanted by our people as we crossed the Auckland Harbour Bridge and again as we marched through the streets of Wellington. Rather than putting our energy AGAINST what we don’t want, it’s and AFFIRMATION of our power, of our drive, of our vision and our collective energy as we move forward TOGETHER and actively create our Hawaiki Hou. Written by @rawhitiroa with @tawazthetristler Performed by: @rawhitiroa with @lillyrawiri @maori6oy @nepiatm Produced by: @kingsmusicnz Video by: @haututu_creatives   The powerful vision for this video was captured by @haututu_creatives as we travelled from Te Hiku o Te Ika to Te Ūpoko o Te Ika a Māui and it was masterfully put together to remind us of the collective power and energy we amassed together. Whītiki Tauā! ~ @rawhitiroa #ToitūTātou #WeAreToitū #HīkoiMōTeTiriti #ToitūTeTiriti #MokopunaDecisions #WhītikiTauā #Aotearoa #HaututuCreatives

Kiritai | Auckland Art Gallery @aucklandartgallery E mihi nui ana ki ngā taiohi me ō rātou kaiako, otirā ki te whānau o Kiritai i Auckland Art Gallery. I just finished giving a kōrero at Kiritai, an education programme, working with rangatahi from schools across Tāmaki that invited them into Auckland Art Gallery to teach them skills and give them experiences to help them shape, an exhibition that they will hold in the Auckland Art Gallery in the coming months. I shared with them my journey as a photographer along with some of my life and business hacks, life lessons and tips that helped me get to where I am in my life. Ko te tūmanako i whai hua ngā kōrero ki ngā tauira, ā, ka āwhina i a rātou, i a rātou e takahi nei i tō rātou ara whakamua. I also spoke about creating art that “means something”. Not just chasing likes, not just making stuff that looks cool, but creating whakaahua, visual art, songs and other creative expressions that mean something, that tell a story, that move people or inspire emotion or thought. It was cool to have the opportunity to share these kōrero with these rangatahi and it makes me think back to when I was at school and I wish I had someone share these yarns with me back then. Ngā mihi nui ki a Natalie me te kāhui o Te Toi o Tāmaki nā koutou te karanga, e tika ana kia whakaae! I’m onto the next mission now and hope those rangatahi took something away from that kōrero to help them in their life going forward. #Rangatahi #Taiohi #Kiritai #ToiMāori #Māori

E mihi ana ki te whānau o @tetokivoyagingtrust me @mahitahiagency mō koutou i whakanui I taku huritau ki tai! I was so stoked to be working on my birthday when “working” involved sailing out into the Moana aboard Haunui Waka and spending time with awesome people. I was stoked as when @noeenoee_ee pulled out a birthday cake (in a pot so the candles wouldn’t blow out in the wind) that we could enjoy together after we wrapped shooting! #HePakiMahiPai #BetterWorkStories Can’t wait for the project we were working on to air! #Kupe #MahiTahi #WakaHourua

Best Birthday Ever!! E kī pai ana tōku ngākau i te aroha, i te hari, i te koa, i te rawe, i te ngahau nā te hirahira o taku pāti huritau i ngā rā whakatā kua hipa nei. E mihi nui ana ki a koutou katoa i tae mai, e mihi hoki ana ki a koutou i tuku aroha mai tawhiti. I rangatira te kaupapa nei i a koutou! Tēnā rā koutou katoa! My heart is full and I’m so grateful to all my whānau and mates that came together to celebrate and to all my whānau and mates who sent your aroha from afar. I feel you all!! Aroha nui ki a koutou katoa. I was especially blown away to have Papa Ruru and the whānau who travelled up from Te Waipounamu. So special. It was literally my best birthday party ever. The people, the kai, the catch ups, the singing, the dancing, the laughing, the “everything” that came together in perfect combination to form a night that will go down in history (in my history anyways lol) My biggest mihi goes to my beautiful love @teatatuhimata who pushed me to make sure we celebrated my huringa tau and then orchestrated everything to make the night what it was. ✨ Our eyes, puku and aaall of our tastebuds mihi to my awesome tuahine Chef @heratekurapa and her Whānau Waitai who laid out the eye watering taste sensation that was our hākari. From the tītī arancini and frybread (with tītī from @prideofpoutama 🐦 tēnā kōurua!) to the venison prepared in various ways (gifted by my bros @tame_in_the_taiao and @eriorapark13 🦌 tēnā kōurua!) the delicious salmon (gifted by our amazing mates @karenakasey 🐟 tēnā hoki kōurua!) and the ika mata (with ika gifted by the bro Nore @mahimoana 🎣 tēnā koe bro!) and aaaall the rest of amazing treats that we all got to enjoy. E ngā tohunga o te manaaki, tēnā rā koutou!! To all our kaikōrero on the night, to our MC @otenehopa tēnā rā koutou! I rangatira ngā kōrero katoa! Aaand we had some mean laughs too 😂 So many mihi! to be continued in the comments below 📸: @juliezhuphotography #BestBirthdayEver #Huritau #Māori #Aotearoa

Hari huringa tau my love 💛 9 seconds. There were many a 9-second funnies shared on Saturday night (iykyk) ēngari kei te kōrero pono ahau, 9-seconds was all it took for me to realise you were my person, my safety, my tinoooo. Two years ago, on your birthday actually, we met, and every second, minute, hour, day, week and month ever since has been filled with nothing less than adventure, laughter, growth, support, desire, and of course, kaupapa 😂 And the reason I’m sharing this now is because, when put on the spot to speak, I couldn’t find the words to express how grateful I am to love you. But now I have found them, e kore te puna aroha e mimiti mōu. ✨ A biiiiig thank you again to all our whānau and friends who made the time and space to be there with us. Special acknowledgement to my Māmā, Pāpā and brothers who weren’t able to make it, we love you. To my sister @chynatuhimata and neph for flying up from Ōtautahi, and @_coco23 and @te_rangii for your tautoko in all the ways, love you straaadeaway. Beautiful kai, company, and hands down the best birthday celebration of new beginnings ever ever!
