Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki Mānawa maiea te ariki o te rangi Mānawa maiea te mātahi o te tau Whanake mai ngā mata o te ariki Whanake mai te tohu o te tau Whanake mai Matariki hunga nui. Under the watchful eyes of Matariki our puhoro journey started 5 days ago, a total of tattooing time on the table 23 hours. A massive effort from everyone involved and another warrior takes his place. Big mihi to Okiwa for his unwavering dedication to this kaupapa it was an honour to be apart of your journey. To my crew, Ronnie, Natalie, and Tumanako thank you all for your tautoko and aroha for this kaupapa. To all our whanau who sent words of encouragement and support during the wananga nga mihinui kia koutou katoa mo tatou tautoko.

We begin our trip home today to Te Tau Ihu, but what a trip this has been. Catching up with whanau, my mokopuna, Aku tamariki has definitely filled my heart. Last night was awesome introducing Tumanako to all my mates, seeing his smile on his face was priceless. Big mihi to my daughter @tingitattnative for driving us around safely and looking after her papa. Nui te mihi ki a koe @mikejonathanx for the invite to his premiere.

Kua ki te whare tenei ra tuatahi ki Whakatu Marae. Mihinui kei te manakitanga o te hau kainga o Whakatu. Great day supporting the Natives today it’s not often I’m the one sitting on the sidelines but I really enjoyed watching @tingitattnative and @matiah_maia Doing the mahi great to meet the the two Kai Taa @te_uhi_matarau and @tre_walker_tamoko mean mahi boys. #houseofnatives #tamoko

I think the biggest compliment as an artist, is to be asked by another artist you respect is to make something for them. This is one such piece. Carved for the brother @charles_phat1tmd This piece of kohatu was sourced from a traditional Pakohe quarry near Ōkiwi Bay here in Te Tau Ihu. The inlays are made from Mother of pearl with a four plait bind. The style is south Hokianga, Ngapuhi with Kiri Kiore and Unaunahi surface design. #houseofnatives #houseofstone #pakohe #tiki #birdgang

Beautiful karakia done by the hou kainga this morning to open the exhibition Te Tuhi o Te Whenua Nelson museum here in Nelson. If you have the opportunity go check out this amazing collection of Pakohe taonga curated by @hamuera89 and his team.
