Today we remember the signing of He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni — the Declaration of Independence within Aotearoa, signed 190 years ago in 1835.
Whatever you do today — whether it is attending one of the Whakamana activations, showing your support online, or simply standing in your truth as a descendant of proud tūpuna — remember, you are not alone.
The days are growing longer, a gentle reminder that light is returning. With it comes the clarity to express our collective voice in ways that open new pathways for empowerment, healing, and unity.
Together, we move closer to the change our tūpuna envisioned.
