Aotearoa is a Pacific Island nation coming to terms with its whakapapa. Our whakapapa includes pre-Treaty strands originating in Te Moana Nui a Kiwa² and post-Treaty strands from Europe and the rest of the globe. In 2019, Tuia 250 – Te Pōwhiri ki Wharekaho, was a singularly impactful event for bringing these strands together in celebration of our national and local identities in Pare Hauraki³.
In the world we currently live in with people disconnected to their whānau, disconnected to
their culture and struggling with identity issues and subsequent mental health problems, why
would the arts not matter?
