Notes

This story is about the plight of our awa 'Ngaruroro moko tuararo ki rangatira' that journeys out past Marae Kohupatiki on the East Coast of the North Island toward the great Pacific Ocean. This story reveals the hardships that Patiki, Tuna, and many other freshwater fish try to survive in today. These conditions are caused by man who has overlooked the ageless practice of Guardianship.
