Retracing the footsteps of our ancestors led us to our ancestral home in Tahiti. A dream realised.
An excerpt from the journey:
Whānau, we made it home.
I have been carrying this life giving, soul enriching experience from place to place for the past few days. Reliving the experience in my mind in every quiet moment and gently submitting to a new state of being.
It has been a journey across generations, of tragedy and triumph. A journey not travelled alone. My heart is full of love for every person in these photos and for every person we met on the way to Haapu village in Huahine. I recognise so much of myself in you and the island itself.
In private, I have barely found the words but the tears have sure found a way to express what it means to stand humbly among the titans of my culture - the mountains, land and sea. To stand where my ancestors stood. To be home. There is a newfound completeness to who I am. Much like the completeness of where the mountains meet the sea at Haapu Bay. What an unspeakable gift to have been given on this beautiful adventure.
