NUKU is changing the narrative for and about indigenous women.

\\n

If you haven't come across the wahine powerhouse that is Qiane Matata-Sipu yet, then you are in for a treat!

\\n

Qiane is a skilled visual storyteller, staunch wahine Maori, manawhenua of Ihumatao, wife, Mama to a beautiful kotiro (girl), and co-founder of the SOUL campaign to save Ihumatao.

\\n

In this podcast we talk about NUKU100, Qiane's passion project to profile and celebrate 100 kickass indigenous women through multiple mediums - photography, podcasts, exhibitions and a book.

\\n

She's up to #23 or so now, and her journey so far is an interesting mix of responding to her tupuna (ancestors), finding funding for her cause, and learning to communicate in this new digital age.

\\n

We also talk a bit about her personal journey through the fight for reclamation of land at Ihumatao.

\\n


\\n

Get ready, Qiane will invigorate the sleepy parts inside of you.
