    Stan’s music is fantastic. What you are seeing is the Maori culture, the land u see is New Zealand. Stan co wrote this song and him and a friend video it around New Zealand. Every movement u are see, clothing, tattoos have a meaning in the Maori culture. As a New Zealand ( white I am), I’m so proud of the Maori culture which is a huge part of New Zealand.

    READ Isabel Wilkerson's Book, "CASTE: THE ORIGINS OF OUR DISCONTENTS; then SEE Ava DuVernay's film, "ORIGIN" and you will Immediately understand why Ava had Stan Walker come in and create this masterpiece. It all ties it together...Stan absolutely DELIVERED!!! this song is incredible.

    This song isn’t about what it means to me, it’s about what it means to you. It speaks of you knowing and respecting your origin, and to be proud of your family history, those of your family who have travelled before you, and knowing your ancestors. It speaks of you knowing your culture, your pride of your origin, for the foundation of your future, is in the knowing, and in your pride of your ancestors…. Know your Origin!!..
    Awesome reaction..👍🏼😂❤️

      Thank you for watching with us and for commenting. Sorry our true reaction was not what you were hoping for. Stan Walker is an amazing singer, and other viewers have shared so much information in their comments, which gives more meaning to this video that we were not picking up on in our first viewing.

  • @motukowhai
    @motukowhai Před 4 měsíci +1

    This couple were correct when they said Stan is "Australian born"; BUT - he is a New Zealander through and through. He identifies as Aotearoa/New Zealand Maori because his whakapapa (genealogy) originates from there. Does being born in Australia make him an Australian? Theoretically 'yes' - but it is clear, the fuller portion of his heart goes back to where his whanau (family) roots began - in Aotearoa/NZ. Irrespective of where he was born, He is and will forever be MAORI.
