The very next chapter of He Whiriwhiringa is an account about Ninety-mile Beach and Cape Reinga. It describes the journey of the deceased, their spirits making their way past the top of the country.
Of course, that reminded me about my own walk the length of Aotearoa. I have also walked the length of the beach.
Perhaps there could be some sort of language pilgrimage where people travel in this manner, restricting themselves purely to speaking with one another in Maori. Instead of an O.E. experience, there could be Te Reo experience. I could lead a group. We could stay on nga marae.
