What our customers are saying
I had the privilege of witnessing Kathie's work at Waikato University. Kathie is engaging, clear, and thoughtful when sharing her knowledge of te ao Māori. Her understanding, and expertise of tikanga Māori is impressive, and she shares this in a way that honors the work that she is a part of.
