Moe mai rā e kuia. So sad to hear the passing of whaea Robyn Kahukiwa. Her art has adorned the places I’ve lived since I was young. She’s my fave artist. 💗 ka aroha ki te whānau.

Ka hiamo au ki huihui! So excited to be presenting in a few weeks at #INIHKD #RIEL conference. I’m presenting on Kaupapa Māori music and healing intergenerational trauma. I’ll kōrero about my time at the Yale archives and my fellowship too.

Treaty Principles Bill

Fave lunch area so far at Yale 9/10

Many of us are driven by creating a better world for our mokopuna and uri. That world does not include discrimination and violence against our LGBTQI+ rainbow community! #ToitūTeTiriti #ōritetanga #BeingMāori Your Nannies would be disappointed - haka is not for intimidating wāhine & tamarki!

Going to Yale soon for my fellowship! Anyone have any kai recommends or good walking spots in New Haven? ☺️

wow just logged off and there are problems there too

Hoki mai ki Aotearoa. I returned home and had probably one of the best overseas holidays of my life. 💗 however I greatly missed my dogs. Getting ready to go to Yale soon for a short term fellowship. Excited and nervous for the homesickness that will plague me 🤣

Me trying to find all my Māori Twitter whānau that have made the move here

“Parliament can legislate that the Earth is flat. That doesn’t make it flat.” Chris Finlayson

Huge shout out to Te Kanawa Wilson. What an awesome submission & delivered so well in Te Reo. And seeing Hana-Rawhiti Maipi respond in Te Reo was amazing. The future of our nation right there. ✊🏻 #ToituManaWhenua #ToituTeTiriti

Always was always will be 🖤💛❤️✊🏾

People will be like “keep politics out of gaming” and then play Final Fantasy 7
