🩸Our ability to share and express what emulates from our own bloodlines is a relationship that is personal to how each individual relates to their ancestry.

🎥Many may write, film, document, hypothesise about indigenous but stories about us, that don’t exist from within the peoples context cannot reflect us truly.

Each tribe, has differing opinions interpretations and beliefs.

🧬Wai Tawhito expresses relationships to time and ritual is an embodiment, that if forgotten about may interfere with one’s connection. It supersedes time as omniscient.

🌀Our Pou, Wikitoria shares her relationship to the development of Wai Tāwhito and it’s unearthing.

🎭Te Whānau Āio will share an excerpt from Wai Tāwhito in the opening event Tākiritia on September 10th.
