Mana Motuhake Bracelet - Rerehua Boutique

MANA MOTUHAKE

self-determination, independence, sovereignty, authority

Throughout history we have seen mana motuhake been activated by leaders like Dame Whina Cooper leading the Land March Hikoi during the 1970s, Moana Jackson and his challenges to the Crown, and Te Whiti and Tohu of Parihaka.

More recently we have seen the assertion of mana motuhake in the occupation of Ihumatao by the SOUL movement, led by Pania Newton and her whanaunga.

Mana Motuhake requires courage, resilience and the skills to lead and unite people to execute a vision that sees justice come to fruition for the wider community.

Wear this one with pride and as a reminder to never back down.
