I am the river, the river is me,” the 16-year-old said, quoting a Whakatauki Maori proverb. “When the mauri (spirit) of the river is damaged, we too feel the repercussions.” Mairangi, who is Ngai Tuhoe and Ngati Porou, presented photos of infected sores which paddlers believed could be attributed to the HAVING A GO: Members of the let the river speak team had the chance to test their paddling skills yesterday.
