Ko Waikato raua ko Mangawara

ōku awa

Ko Tikapā raua ko Hokianga ōku moana

Ko Hapuakohe raua ko Whakatere ōku maunga

Ko Waiti raua ko Tuhirangi ōku marae

Ko Ngāti Paoa, Ngāti Whatua ki Kaipara, Ngāti Whatua ki Ōrākei, Ko Ngāpuhi me Waikato Tainui ōku iwi

Ko Ngahuia Repeka Leigh Takirau tōku ingoa

My passion has always been to work with our people to help inspire action to manaaki our taiao under the values of Te Ao Māori. Learning through the realms of Matauranga Māori to demonstrate Kaitiakitanga is to be sustainable for future generations.
