We're finally building the long awaited indigenous artist website jammed packed full of your voice.

 

You're invited to contribute - but yes we will need a few things from you to get started. This is just the beginning of the journey, and the team here at Te Tuhi Mareikura Trust will endeavor to respectfully create an educational resource for all of us to use.

​

Your voice is your contribution to the revitalisation of your practice in the public forum

 

You might be also interested to know that not everything you provide will be for public information, their will also be membership pages strictly for access by indigenous practitioners. In majority the public information will be oriented around your artist profile and a general overview to educate of the many different indigenous practices relative to their origin. Through an approved membership, you'll have further access to communications, open discussions, share and korero about progressions, create a community solely for indigenous practitioners all over the world - connecting us all back together.

​

Quick note; we are currently taking interests for Indigenous Cultural Practice Presentation videos by individuals or groups, your support is appreciated, you can be based in your own space, and the videos intended use are for public educational resources about indigenous practice. See more here.

​
