« […] Yes, I am there to welcome you … we lament the dead
I wait for the whaikorero to start,
Yes, you acknowledge me, and I you
I wait for the tamariki, they on my paepae
Yes, I cry, for they fill me with pride and hope
I wait for the rhythm of the kapahaka…
Yes, I can dance along … I know your songs
I wait for the smell of the kei to emerge from the ground,
Yes, I will eat with you and you with me
We feed a need to perpetuate the past and the present
And in doing so we bring forth Rongomatane and Papatuanuku
So who invited Tu ? »
So who invited tu ?, Rosanna Raymonds
