WHAKAPĀ MAI
The Undertow offers an opportunity to overcome our cultural amnesia together.
It encourages us to reflect on where we have been, where we are, and where we want to go as a nation.
It is possible to hold ourselves accountable for the inherited colonial systems we perpetuate without guilt or anger.
That journey begins with learning and understanding and openness to the experiences of others.
