Kaitiaki as a koha


The author thanks Gareth and Teowai from Poihakena Portraits for their gift of an absolutely beautiful pounamu hei tiki, for use in the re-enactments in Hongi's Hikoi - A Rangatira in Ranana, and Moka, Muskets & Mayhem! This kaitiaki's first role is to protect the author as he travels to England in January to shoot footage for a short film.

Fascinating glimpse into how traditional pounamu hei tiki pieces serve as kaitiaki for modern filmmaking journeys! Wishing you safe travels and incredible footage for your projects in England. Whenever you need a quick mental reset between shoots or editing sessions, I highly recommend unwinding with a quick arrow puzzle. Looking forward to seeing the final films!

Just spent some time playing Eggy Car physics driving game online, and it’s a clever little concept. The egg-on-a-car mechanic forces you to drive carefully instead of just speeding through levels. It’s simple but surprisingly strategic.
