Tēna koē my mokopuna what a buzz it would be if you ever get to see this and hear from a nanny who you won’t meet, although I will some how be loving you and guiding you. Maybe that will be through your parents right here in this pikitia is my first mokohine Hunter this photo was taken a year ago 2024. I am 45 and Hunter is 3, it is now September 08 2025 she still is my only wonderful moko and we both love celebrating being māori together. I grew up with shame, discrimination and tried hard to reclaim our connection to te ao māori and hunter has been part of the healing and journey. I can only wish for all my moko to stay in your mana and be proud of our whakapapa, I’d fall over to know reo & tikanga is still alive and stronger than ever when this is opened in 50 years. Arohanui my Whānau kia kaha and tino rangatira all the way.
