Te Ao Hurihuri
The Changing World

“This grouping is called Te Ao Hurihuri, The Changing World. In its original context te ao hurihuri was spoken as a mixture of a lament for Māori knowledge passed, lost and superseded and to encourage Māori to take on Pakeha (European) knowledge and skills to be able to move forward at a time of intense loss. In this context they are about change again, a reassertion of positive affirmations of Mana Māori (Power of Māori) and particularly with these works Mana Wahine (Power of Women).”
