Summary Of The Intent of the Africa — Burkina Faso Relationship 

 

Travel dates; 4 March – 24 March 2026

 

The journey of relationship with Africa, Burkina Faso represents a critical point in our collective cosmic and human timeline — spiritually, genealogically, and physically. For Polynesian peoples, the return to Vaeāra‘i (Rangitūhaha) and Taputapuātea (centre of Polynesia) is a return to Hawaiki, the ancestral homeland from which Pacific civilizations emerged. The relationship with Africa reaches even further back — to Te Kōhanga O Te Ira Tangata, the Cradle of Humanity, 7 million years old, the place of our shared physical origin as human beings.

 

Africa represents the origin of our physical humanity. It is one of the places where human form first emerged, and where, according to many ancient traditions and teachings, celestial life forms made contact with, influenced, or shaped humanity. Within our own language, this is understood as Te One i Kura Waka — the red ochre earth (literally) — the substance of human creation. From this perspective, humanity may have been formed or altered through celestial intervention, potentially reflected in ancient understandings of expanded DNA structures beyond what is currently acknowledged. This relationship is therefore not only physical, but celestial in significance. It is a return to the point where physical and cosmic lineages intersect.

The Return of the Māui Lineage

 

The Africa relationship is also about reconnecting the Māui lineage to its deeper ancestral roots. African High Priest Credo Mutwa taught that Māui originated from Lydia, Africa, a teaching that aligns with other traditions locating Māui’s origins in ancient Egypt. Seen through this lens, Māori and Polynesian peoples are not separate from Africa, but living DNA fragments of a much older human and celestial story. This relationship represents the reassembling of those fragments — a remembering and reconnection of ancient genealogies that were dispersed across the world through time, migration, and disruption.

Ngāpuhi Sovereign Hapū and the Africa Relationship

 

From a Ngāpuhi Sovereign Hapū perspective, this relationship is directly connected to issues of Tino Rangatiratanga (sovereignty) and kaitiakitanga (stewardship). A significant number of Ngāpuhi sovereign whānau and hapū — will never accept settlement outcomes that represent only 1% of their true inheritance. Many will not sign agreements that reduce Ngāpuhi Sovereign authority to a limited percentage, because Ngāpuhi understand they are not owners, but they are kaitiaki — guardians of ātea (space), rangi (sky), whenua (land), moana (ocean), and people.

 

This relationship therefore also seeks moral support from our African whanaunga, grounded in shared ancestry, shared struggle, and shared responsibility. It is an appeal rooted in genealogy, not charity; relationship, not transaction. It is important to acknowledge that approximately 70% of Ngāpuhi referred to here have, for more than 25 years, refused to receive any government compensation or land claim settlement, while other hapū and iwi across Aotearoa have settled. This relationship is carried in recognition of those Ngāpuhi sovereign hapū who have stood true. It is stated clearly that this work does not claim representation of any Ngāpuhi Sovereign hapū. Any inclusion will remain grounded in alignment with the true Atua — IO. This relationship is guided by the living framework of IO, Tāhūhūnuiōrangi, Ngātoroirangi, Māui and Kupe, and that essence will be honoured throughout.

 

Alignment with two Ngāti Tūwharetoa hapū

 

 

The Africa relationship also aligns with two Ngāti Tūwharetoa hapū who support this kaupapa. Through the leadership and spiritual work of Petera Hallet, Frank Williams, and Uncle Eugene Epiha, the Kāhui Maunga are being aligned spiritually with Te Rangitūhaha (Ra‘iātea) and Te Kōhanga o Te Ira Tangata — the Cradle of Humanity (Burkina Faso). This alignment establishes a living spiritual reality through which Te Kāhui Maunga may be connected to source and returned to their rightful kaitiaki (guardians). It is understood that all transformation must first be established in Te Tāhora Nui Ō Ātea — the realm of spiritual and celestial order — before it can manifest in the physical world. The Africa relationship forms part of a celestial and physical triangulation:

 

The Pacific (Hawaiki)

Africa (Ira Tangata — human origin)

Aotearoa (Kaitiakitanga — present guardianship).

 

This relationship also serves to spiritually honour our late Ariki, Arikinui Tā Tumu Te Heuheu Te Tuawaru with the highest respect, humility and his inherent Ariki authority carried through Te Kāhui Maunga.

He Kōrero Whakaatu – A Living Witness

<span;>Through the pōhiri and the rifle salute there was a unique āhua present throughout those days. I felt the deep mana of Ariki tūpuna wā present from all the distinctive lines. It was powerful, yet deeply humble. There were many unique elements in these last few days. The participation of mokopuna and wahine provided a wonderful balance. Over half were firing a weapon for the first time.

There were kohatu brought from all the marae mentioned in this document from Tahiti, collected by myself and Heia. Frank and Petera collected the kohatu from Te Kāhui Maunga and the awa of Tūwharetoa. Uncle Nepia Ranapia brought over 150 kohatu from Mōtītī Island. All of these kohatu were used to bind the entire kaupapa together. We had many significant tohu — signs that affirmed the unfolding of the mahi. The tūpuna Arikitanga were in the background, always guiding the mahi. Miharo pai.

Ka oti.
Ka tau.
Ka mau.

Closing Understanding

 

The relationship with Africa is not symbolic. It is foundational. It is a return to origin — physical and celestial. A reweaving of fragmented genealogies. A strategic and spiritual act of alignment for sovereignty, kaitiakitanga, and future generations. This relationship carries responsibility far beyond the present moment. It is undertaken with humility, clarity, and accountability to those who came before us, those who are with us now, and those yet to be born.
