Loading Docs 2018 - Soldiers Road
Web (Full Length) – 2018
We are the seeds of the combined DNA of our tipuna, and we represent a great whakapapa and history.– Taaniko Nordstrom, co-founder of Soldiers Rd Portraits
My teacher told me that I would never be able to speak Māori, so I went out of my way to prove her wrong. I love to see Māori proud of who they are.– An excerpt from a letter written as part of the Soldiers Rd identity project
