Dedication note
“I te korenga o ngā himene reo Māori mō te wā Kirihimete, ka titoa e au ‘Te Kaiwhakaora o Te Ao.’ He taonga tuku iho te puoro. Ko te manako, ka tū tēnei waiata ki ngā marae, ki ngā hāhi, ki ngā whare wānanga puta noa i Aotearoa hei kura mō ngā uri whakaheke” - Theia
Ngā mihi ki a Nicole Hunt (videographer), Campbell Luke (fashion designer), Connor Pritchard (colourist) and Bradleigh Harries (MAC)
Filmed on Ōwairaka - ka tuku mihi ki te mana whenua.
