Whetū mārama = Bright star [dvd] : Hek Busby, the wayfinder of the Pacific
2023
DVDs and BluRay
Whetu Marama - Bright Star is the story of Sir Hekenukumai Ngaiwi Phuipi, Hek Busby, and his significance to Te Ao Maori, the Maori world, in rekindling their way-finding DNA and ancient navigation kaupapa - knowledge and lore, via an extraordinary connection with Mau via Hawaii. Thus all New Zealanders can reclaim our place as traditional star voyagers on the world and especially Pacific map, although one waka even connected with Leiden in the Netherlands. The ultimate underlying focus of Whetu Marama is the story of a curious culture that reconnects with its amazingly capable inner compass and can find its way over Te Moana - the ocean to all Pacific people.
