Every Monday on Nights, we invite a guest to share a whakataukī—a Māori proverb—that's meaningful to them.
Tonight, we're chatting with Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds (Ngāti Rārua, Ngāpuhi, Ngātiwai, Ngāti Hine), better known as Tū to his more than half a million followers on social media.
As an online cultural teacher, Tū answers questions ranging from how to pronounce his name to whether permission is needed from elders before someone gets a moko.
He is also the bass player for the award-winning heavy metal band Alien Weaponry, who have just returned from touring North America.
