Tena koutou katoa

Ko Te Ramaroa te maunga

Ko Te Hikutu te hapū

Ko Ngāpuhi te iwi

Ko Recenia Kāka tōku ingoa

Greetings to you all

My mountain is Te Ramaroa

My subtribe is Te Hikutu

My tribe is Ngāpuhi

My name is Recenia Kāka

I have a love and passion for kapa haka and for people to live their life to the fullest. Providing spaces for individuals, whānau and community to have a voice and share what really makes a difference for them is important to me. I am a wife, mother and grandmother and whānau is at the centre of my universe. I have worked for CCS Disability Action for over 10 years. My current role is Kaiārahi – National Māori Development Coordinator.

Kei hea ra te Ao

No hea ra te Ao

Te Ao wiiwii

Te Ao waawaa

Tooku nei Puu

Tooku nei Ao

Te Mokopuutanga oo Rehua

Aanei te Ao, aanei te Waa

Where is this place,

where is this space

It is a place and space

That resides within us

Where we choose

Moment by moment

Who will we be?
