This collection of whakahua powerfully captures the essence of whakapapa (genealogy), firmly connecting them to tīpuna (ancestors). It demonstrates that their legacy thrives within them while they carry forward the mauri (life force) and kaupapa (purpose). The work highlights the cyclical nature of life and the interdependence of the past, present, and future.
“Nā te reo, toi tū te ahurea” – Through language, culture remains strong and enduring.
“Nā te reo, toi tū ngā tūpuna” – Through language, our ancestors are honored and remembered.
“Nā te reo ka ora tonu mātou!” – Through language, we will thrive and endure!
