Whats not working /Rebecca

I found that trying to make a hip hei with synthetic materials from a youtube clip using Te Leaves is really to hard to do so I had to research new materials and came up with this video clip. Alot easier I hope http://vimeo.com/5600193

The website

This is the website i found and how I contacted Maurice,

www.tuatuamai.co.nz.Cook is lands profile/

Today was a success/Rarotonga/Rebecca

Kia orana, Today I interviewed Maurice Tuareka from the Rarotonga tuatuamai trust all I can say is wow!!! it went so well, I learnt so much and it may even be life changing for me.
What a success, I am proud of myself, for stepping out into the unknown, and not knowing where this interview would take me.
all I can say is watch this space.
And the direction I am been pulled into to understand and learn more of what I was born to do.
My identity and culture are now pouring wildly through my veins, and each day I find a little more of myself.
For I am apart Mauke and always have been, since the day I was born.

My Letter to The tuatuamai a cook island community trust /Rebecca

Hi Maurice My Name is Deb**** and I am currently studying at M.I.T. For my papers this year I am doing an assignment on discovering my identity as a cook islander, as I have only just found out I am also cook islander. I was just wondering if I would be able to come in and speak to an elder or yourself as apart of my project. I would really like to learn more about my culture and heritage, if you have time could you please contact me via email deb****22@gmail.com to arrange a time and place your help would be much appreciated. Regards Deborah
