HE URI TENEI O HINEPŪKOHURANI ME TE MAUNA
Haokitahā te mauna | Ōhinemataroa te awa | Ōkiwa te tipua | Wairore te tāniwha | Te Arohana te tanata Te Urewera mai Hapu Oneone te hapū | Te Tōtara te marae | Whakamoe te whānau | Tūhoe te iwi
I SEEK TRANSFORMATIVE MEDICINE
I feed the valley, I feed myself,
spaces between worlds I navigate
I create bridges tracking wairua, hinenāro, tinana, whānau, whenua and hauora
I map points from matakite to psychosis | charting medicines | I clear my wake
the collective is us.
I am us
