Guess which MΔori wΔhine from TΔmaki is doing the voice over for the largest Indigenous film festival trailer based in Toronto π₯Ή
Omg e hoa thatβs wonderful π₯Ήπ₯Ή All the best on your journey xxx
Just like my nana, pretends to hate a photo but will still say yes when I ask for one π
Look who I finally got to see after years! π₯° Finally made it over to Ottawa. Uncle Rongo was the one who planted the seed for me to move here someday. A beautiful full circle moment. β€οΈ
Yeah light work aye π€£π€£
This is huge for our whΔnau, and Iβm so proud that he is being recognised for his mahi. Proud doesnβt even come close!
My Uncle Rongo Wetere, will be receiving the King Charles III Coronation Medal in Ottawa in March. He founded Te Wananga o Aotearoa in 1994, the first Kaupapa MΔori tertiary institute & since moving to Ottawa, he has worked tirelessly to support Indigenous communities and language revitalisation. β€οΈ
Δ painting of Captain Cook being killed by kΔnaka maoli from Hawaii.
My Valentine is all of kΔnaka maoli for doing what we couldn't. Happy Captain Cooked Day, e te whΔnau.
Lol I got this film camera from a vintage market & no amount of scrubbing has removed the cigarette smell, might as well be my mini Time Machine π
& a hereβs a lovely photo of me in MontrΓ©al π©·
I have zero idea what happened during film development, but a picture of the Toronto skyline came out like this! Isnβt it magnificent π
β'North of North' is a reminder of values Canadians want to live up to. DEI that shouldnβt be stripped away, but an instrument for righting historical wrongs.β
Kia ora Eva! Iβd would to see some coverage on the MΔoriland film festival happening in Εtaki from March 26 - 30th! They are also bringing a large delegation to Toronto in June for the imagineNATIVE film festival, (where I work) coverage on that in any capacity would be awesome!
Fomo as being away from home!! But feeling so insanely hopeful seeing everyone come together for the kaupapa π₯Ήβ€οΈ Power in community, power in numbers, power in kotahitanga π₯°π₯°
π Luckiest wΔhine with the most gorgeous view!
Someone commented on my tiktok saying that βAotearoa is not a recognised name for New Zealandβ when Aotearoa is on our passports πππ silly dumb racists lol
Iβm SO STOKED to be offered a placement in the University of Aucklandβs PhD programme! Even better to be hanging out with my dad (my biggest supporter) when the email came through π₯Ή so excited to carve my name next to those of the incredible MΔori scholars who paved the way for me.
YES!!!! Wonderful news, Congratulations e hoa ππ
My pΔpΔ has the most wonderful view of Taranaki Maunga from our urupa β€οΈβπ©Ήβ€οΈβπ©Ήβ€οΈβπ©Ή
Things have been so crazy back home, and around the world that I feel this is being over looked, but itβs huge, beautiful and so wonderful for us who whakapapa to Taranaki Maunga π₯Ήπ₯Ή A beautiful step in restoring our original names, and acknowledging our maunga!
