Students from Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngā Tapuwae proudly carried on Te Kepa’s legacy, speaking te reo and honoring his lifelong commitment to culture. But remembrance gave way to urgent calls for action: as elders pass, youth must step into leadership — a responsibility many say is now upon them. With frustration mounting, Bayden Barber and others voiced deep concerns about ongoing government actions that ignore the Treaty of Waitangi, while the absence of top political figures at the event only amplified the sense of neglect. The gathering became both a tribute and a rallying cry — for the past, and for the future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
