  2. Happy Waitangi Day, Aotearoa!

    In celebration, we're highlighting Whale Rider, the international hit movie about a Māori girl who challenges gender norms to pursue her destiny, based on the acclaimed novel by Witi Ihimaera.

    When Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance at age 13, she became the youngest actress ever nominated for the award at that time and the first Indigenous actress and first Māori actress ever nominated.

    We were honored to partner with the filmmakers to make the official teaching guide for this film. Get our free lesson plans to share this beautiful film with your learning community.

  4. Maybe in response to Luxon's copypasta speech at Waitangi, Nicky Hagar could republish an unedited new edition of The Hollow Men?

    Because Luxon is the ultimate hollow man. A yawning abyss in a man suit. If you tapped him on the shoulder he'd ring like a gong.
