I recorded this video in one of my favourite places, the Kaituna Valley Scenic Reserve. It is a tiny pocket of ngahere amidst a valley owned by a large livestock company, practicing intensive farming with large irrigation systems. The ngahere is a small place of hope and reminds me what used to be here. The large kahikatea and matai trees are my grandparents. I sit with them, I talk to them, I listen to them and most of all I hongi them. In summer I swim in the small awa and hope not to get a rash from the the leakage of fertilizer and stock effluent into the awa. I stand with the ngahere, even though physically I cannot help it much, I share my aroha and spiritual tautoko with it.

93 staff from Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research sang the waiata 'Hutia te Rito' virtually together over Teams to mark our Māori Language Moment. It has been described as chaotically beautiful and we think it's just that :)
