KOTAHITANGA means 'coming together, be one' .

A painting I did in the 90's, when there was a desperate need for change in attitude in regards to race realations. But New Zealand since has come a long way as a country - and we have to accept, that we still have a long way to go. But race relations have improved - we are on our way to KOTAHITANGA.

Tamaiti Tane is a painting I did in the early years of my involvement with Maori in the early 90s. A time of strong movement towards reclaiming the pride and 'mana' of the Maori people after 250 years of collonisation.

Aroha (love)

TAMA PEITA posted a photo:

I painted 'Aroha' after my first visit to Turangawaewae at Ngaruawahia, during the celebrations of the 'Coroneihana' , the crowning celebrations for the Maori Queen Dame Atairangikaahu.

During hui (meeting) at Marae all over New Zealand, Kuia (female elders) would be present and listen to the speeches of the elders. Sleep, being awake, being connected - a very spiritual experience.

TITIRO WHAKATAU ANO

TAMA PEITA posted a photo:

TITIRO means 'to look', and TITIRO WHAKATAU ANO is what is so essential in Maori culture, to gaze inwardly. The relationship to ancestors is not something dead. The closeness to the ones who have departet is shared with the younger ones.
