Mā wai e
Ngāti Rangiwewehi
Toa Whakaihuwaka
Aotearoa Traditional Māori Performing Arts Festival 1996
TM50 Webisode featuring Mā wai e. This song was performed as a poi item at the 1996 festival in Rotorua. The song challenges the statement that Te Arawa people are “plastic Māori” and recognises the role that the tourism industry has played in keeping the culture and traditions of the Te Arawa people alive and well.
