Natalie Couch Ngāti Tūwharetoa/Te Arawa Mana Whenna, 2006 Print Collection of the C.N. Gorman Museum, UC Davis. Gift of the artist. The title of this work, Mana Whenua, refers to the Indigenous people who have territorial rights, power from the land, and authority over land or territory in New Zealand. “Overall, my work looks at the relationship between the internal and external aspects of our selves, our links through genealogical lines to the Earth, Sea and Skies, and how we all respond to these connections and conditions.” - Natalie Couch
