TOI TU TAMANUHIRI

The theme of my entry into TOI TAMANUHIRI will be "THE ART OF WHAKAPAPA" and feature my artworks, whakapapa charts, maps, illustrations, photos, graphics, digital presentations and korero-a-waha... My offering will be digital by nature... and will tell the story of my cultural DNA... from the very stirring stories of our origins... to raising the great fish... to the anchoring of Endeavor... and the signing of the treaty in May 1840... An illustrated voyage through countless generations and a comprehensive statement of our mana whenua, moana moana and mana tangata. 



Ko Matiti te maunga
Ko Maraetaha te awa, 
ko Ngai Tamanuhiri te iwi...
