Una and I spoke on the day her amazing book The Chthonic Cycle (Te Herenga Waka University Press, 2024) was released into book shops.

I have been incredibly moved by Una’s book. It has shifted my mind and my world. It offers such an exciting opportunity to explore a new perspective of our current moment.

Action: Hikoi mō Te Tiriti

Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti: 10-19 November

As I type this the Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti is moving over the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

Member in the hīkoi are walking from all over Aotearoa to Parliament in opposition to the Government’s assault on tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The Hīkoi is organised by Toitū Te Tiriti.

Toitū Te Tiriti is tupuna inspired, tiriti led, mana motuhake driven and mokopuna focused. Our intent is to demonstrate the beginning of a unified Aotearoa response to the Government’s assault on tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
