Nga Pou
The following
words are depicted, carved into the Maihi. They acknowledge the role of
our kuia past and present. The walls of our whare reach beyond the sacred maunga to touch the
dreams of connected bloodlines, kuia past karanga us home.
Our whaia,
our kuia are the pou, the spring of chiefs and warriors. The manaaki,
the aroha.
The maihi are open arms to a warm bosom, wisdom of ages and enduring
strength.
Mother to daughter, mother to daughter, mother to son.
