"This is a story about dirt"
This has been probably the hardest thing I've needed to write this year. It's about my exhibition; but really, it's abut the mana of whaiarorua, it's about the anti-psychiatry movement, and it's about 'resilience'.

Loving the tāngata Tiriti support for te Tiriti right now but please remember to support Māori leadership don’t just assume roles of leadership because you think you’re capable🤦🏽
white people lose one election & they want to leave the country. How do you think Indigenous ppl feel about all the depraved atrocities happening on our own lands? We don’t have the luxury of going anywhere.
If this album of 248 pūtangitangi; instruments made to hold emotion, and emulate / bring on 'tangi', helps you in these times, more than happy for you to have it as a koha, or feel free to donate towards me writing my book <3

While many are talking about losing hope or moving to other countries, Native people have survived under U.S. government leaders that wanted us dead since the very beginning. This is still Native land, and will always be Native land. We never had the luxury to stop fighting.
Dear "progressive Americans".
Stay put. You've been using colonial privilege to run away from your problems for 500 years, and the Pacific is sick of being your escape fantasy.
The true progressive move right now is to humbly commit to decolonising WHERE YOU ARE.
