This waka hoe was shaped with the rhythm of Trinity Roots – The Little Things flowing through the process. The song, and the hoe, carry the reminder that life is full of ups and downs — storms, calm waters, and everything in between. What grounds us, and what gives us strength, are the small things we hold close: a kind word, a shared laugh, a moment of stillness.

Ngā mea iti honours the idea that even the smallest details can guide us forward, becoming markers of resilience and anchors of hope.

Whakataukī: “He iti rā, he iti mapihi pounamu.”(Though it is small, it is as precious as a greenstone.) This proverb reminds us that the little things — no matter how small — can hold immense value, beauty, and meaning in our lives.
