about

this song is my mihi to start the album. Who am I and what do I do? Where do I find my sense of belonging? I am Pākeha and this is what I do.

lyrics

Kei te mahi au ki a papa
kei te mahi au ki ngā awa
kei te mahi au ki te whenua
tiakangā ō te waitaha

kei te mahi au te ngāhere māori
kei te mahi au ngā rākau māori
kei te whakakakahu au ki a Papatūānuku e

Kie te tangata tiriti au...

I work for the earth
I work for the Rivers
I work for the land,
Caring for Waitaha

I work for the native forest
I work with the native trees
I work to re-clothe Papatūānuku

I am a person of the treaty.
