Rewi: Āta haere, kia tere. A book on one of our most important Māori architects - Rewi Thompson. Edited by @jade_kake and @jeroski Published by @masseyuniversitypress We need more books like this about our Māori creatives! There aren’t enough! Rewi’s architecture, his imagination and his heart, put him amongst the best globally. In my biased opinion. And there’s 460+ pages to back it up. A big mihi to Jade and Jeremy for bringing this taonga to the world. Mihi to @lucymei and to our design team as always for being awesome @evacharlt @maxquinntapara @katrinaduncan26 Out now in shops and online whānau #hokona

Last Tuesday the first of this year’s homecoming kiwi were welcomed at Waiwhetū Marae. Iwi mana whenua, gifting iwi, community, civic leaders, conservation kaimahi and tamariki gathered to greet the birds after their trip down SH1 from @sanctuary_mountain Maungatautari. Following the pōwhiri, two of the kiwi were shown to the manuhiri. It is awesome to see jaws drop and eyes widen in the presence of the animal that has gifted us a name, and a heap of our identity as a people. It was rawe to have so many young people get to see the manu before they hit the Terawhiti hills… (there they could stretch their dinosaur legs after eight hours on the road.) And it was an honour to welcome the kiwi at Waiwhetū – many formative meets at the beginning of the mission took place on the marae and over the road. A special privilege was having three kahu kiwi on show and to have master weaver Veranoa Hetet share kōrero about the cloak’s feathers and the mouri of the kiwi. The 11 arrivals are the first 75 kiwi due in coming weeks. They’ll bring the number of kiwi restored to the night of Te Upoko o Te Ika to 215 (since 2022). 🔑🟤🌴🏡🖤 E ngā kiwi o te motu nei 📷 Sara Tansy, @letans

Recent ‘mahi’, in collaboration with @actionstationnz A tohu of kotahitanga in the face of inhumane division. From a te ao Māori perspective, when we think about partnerships and our relationship to one another, it’s hard to go past the pōhiri ceremony. Wrapped up in that is the dynamic of manuhiri and hau kainga, conflict and resolution, and the acknowledgement of people and place. A symbolic moment within this, is the hongi. It is an iconic part of our culture. Most of us have experienced it. You could say it’s our version of a handshake, but it’s much deeper than that. It is said the first hongi happened when Tāne breathed life into Hineahuone and created mankind. Since then, it has been a way for us to share breath, to see eye to eye, and to acknowledge one another. Through these interactions it is a symbol of life and unity. It is also intertwined with conflict and resolution. When manuhiri descend onto a marae, they must pass through the realm of Tūmatauenga, the god of war, before arriving at the realm of Rongo, the god of peace. Through this process, challenges and conflicts are addressed and resolved, and we cross the threshold from being strangers to being unified. Regardless of what side of the hongi we’re on, we now have responsibilities to one another.
