    Nga mihi aroha no nga iwi maori o Aotearoa. E te rangatira, e te kairaranga purakau, e te hoa, tena koe! Vincent - I was privileged enough to see your work, and to meet you in Wairoa, Aotearoa NZ a number of years ago at the Inaugural Indigenous Film Festival. Thank you for such a powerful statement. I had to stand and acknowledge the deep-felt emotion that your work invoked in me. This was the right way for me to talk to you, brother to brother, through whaikorero. As well, seeing Ron His Horse is Thunder reminded me of the healing powers of the descendants of those who suffered way back then. He reminded me of how men of today need to talk to the men of tomorrow and teach them the ways of the old people. He embodied the spirit of his tipuna, Sitting Bull. My aroha goes to you both, and to our tipuna who have already walked their trail of tears. Collapse
