Ah yes #TaikaTuesday is here once again. Think I'll start the day with a very soft voice telling us a little about the Urupā scene in "Boy". And for an additional fun fact that Mr. Waititi does NOT mention - the fake beer he talks about is named "Te Kaha" after the Te Kaha pub in Two Cars One Night.

#31daysofgraves day 22 landscape. The view from the urupā (cemetery) at Wairewa marae is across to Wairewa roto (lake) in one direction, and to the mauka (mountain) Te Upoko o Tahumatā in the other. In Māori culture, these landmarks signify where you come from. We introduce ourselves through them.

When more settlers arrived, they discovered the land they'd purchased from Wakefield was already lived on, farmed, or someone urupā (grave yards).
The settlers were really fucked off.
