Maranga mai te mana motuhake!

This waiata is a karanga to our people; a powerful genre fusion that calls our taitamariki to rise, our whānau to unite, and all of us to stand strong for mana motuhake.

The lyrics weave together the strength of our waka, the sacredness of Tāne, the unity of kotahitanga, and the heartbeat of our Ngāpuhi roots. It’s old school mana with a new school vibe made for dancing, vibing, marching, and rising.

 

“Maranga, e te iwi
Karanga ki ngā taitamariki
Maranga ake, maranga mai te mana motuhake.”

 

Whānau, tēnei te wā, let’s rise together!
Listen, share, and let this waiata fuel our movement.
