It is therefore necessary that they have the knowledge that is required to understand the purpose and value of our customs. The gap is created by the structure of todays society where we are hindered by day to day time constraints and financial pressures. In many instances modern success contradicts Maori values. To realize my goals is to find the middle path and one that will add value to the future direction of life for my tamariki (children) and mokopuna (grandchildren). Most of all to appreciate things more. This painting depicts my son Porowini and waka (canoe) at Waitangi. |
