I know i commented before, but I cant help but the emotions running through my veins. To watch this mater piece of performance done by our own Tongereva henua. The rich history behind this performance brings so much pain and emotions 200 years of slavely captivity to our people.

thats so true Miracle. Our people have suffered silently and this pain has remained with our parents and their parents for too long. What can we do? If our ruhaus didnt do anything we shouldnt do anything about it too. Miracle, we live in a world full of bigotry. As the saying goes, 'we are survivors and we adapt easily to deep pain and suffering.' Loved your post Miracle. Kia mau te serenga kia mau.

If only the sound was captured the same way it resonated in the hall. WAYYY BETTER LIVE.

The “blackbirding” history of Tongareva (where the people of Tongareva were kidnapped/tricked into ships and were sold into slavery in Peru).
