TE MOUTERE

The Hidden Island
for Pirihira
kua ngaro ki te moana · lost to the sea
HE WAKA
EKE NOA
A canoe we are all in together, with no exception.
Some visions are true, and still too heavy to carry alone.
The sea keeps what it is given. The fire is still burning on the beach.
mānawatia a Matariki · nine sisters, shining
TE MOUTERE
HUNA
He taonga te moemoeā · a dream is a treasure.
Believe your friends. Check the tectonics. Sail together.
And every winter, greet the nine by name. All nine.
made with aroha for Pirihira

Juni's splice is in. Tap a junction to rotate it. Route power to the lock.
The taonga is warm in Pirihira's hands. Drag it home, into Waitī's light.
Hold the course. Tap (or press space) when Te Punga drifts into the mark above the mast.
