Mana. It's a big word. But what is it? Are you born with it, can you earn it, can it be taken away?

For more than five decades, Tame Iti has stood at the heart of Aotearoa's struggle for indigenous rights. From land marches to performance art, police raids to prison cells, his voice has challenged New Zealand to reckon with its colonial legacy.

Once branded as a dangerous and extreme activist, now hailed as a national treasure, Tame has lived the contradictions and realities of standing with mana motuhake in a modern world.

After being silenced from speaking te reo Maori as a child, Tame went on to champion its revitalisation. He discovered the power of protest and what it means to live with mana in a world that often tries to strip it away.

This is his korero of the road he walked and the people who joined him. The comrades, the supporters, and the ones who tried to take him out.

Mana is the story of a man who has never stopped challenging the status quo. It cements Tame's place as one of Aotearoa's most iconic figures.

Great insight into growing up on the East Coast, Ruatoria. Interesting where Life has taken Tama Iti and his view of this world from marginalised cultures! I can relate to growing up in Aotearoa. How colonisation has inflienced our growth which made Life difficult for one's identity. Opportunities open our eyes to the bigger picture! AROHANUI NGA MIHI.
