All peoples, all voices, all the many relations from the four winds, I greet you all.
MAORI PROVERB (WHAKATAUKI)
(Thank you to the Maori people from the Far North of Aotearoa, New Zealand for this amazing proverb that has kept me committed
and grounded to my work for communities wide and far).
Hutia te rito o te harakeke
If the centre of the flax is pulled out (and the flax dies)
Kei hea te komako e ko?
Where will the Bellbird sing?
Ki mai ki ahau
If you were to ask me
He aha te mea nui o tenei ao?
What is the most important thing in the world?
Maku e ki atu
I would reply
He Tangata!
It is People!
He Tangata!
It is People!
He Tangata!
It is People!
