Māori chicks are pretty hearty snorers aye 😂

I’m in the whare stuck in the middle of a couple wāhine.

One stops and the other starts and that’s just been continuous all night.

Then it got me thinking - do I sound like that?! 😂 🤔

Ko Tapapa te awa Rongoā
Ko Tapapa te awa kia waatea
Kia waatea te tinana
Te tinana o ngā tangata
Ki runga te whenua o Mangamuka e. 🌿💧

Needed this.

Been in the awa and the moana.

This past week especially. I’ve had to advocate for myself, my culture and the integrity of my mahi. I can do that easily cos of the passion — but s**t, it was eye-opening.

I’ve never been in a place where being Māori, Te Tiriti and Māori strategies could be so completely disregarded. Sitting in rooms where it’s mostly non-Māori, having to defend things that shouldn’t need defending.

But hei aha — come home, get in the awa, wash it off and clear it all out. 💧

Then, in the same week, unexpectedly ending up in a wānanga on the Doctrine of Discovery, Te Tiriti and imagining decolonisation.

Talk about timing.

Waatea. Mauri ora. 🌿💧
