We wanted an intimate and authentic introduction to the Maori culture and this was exactly what we got.
From the welcome with their tribal blessings, being taught traditional crafts and songs, to open conversation about subjects from ancestral beginnings to the recently completed 9 day peaceful protest, it was an amazing and humbling experience.
Merv and Rangimarie obviously care deeply about their Maori culture and taking the time to share this with us was something we will treasure.
Whakawhetai koe
