Whenua to whakapapa, a father's sacred connection In this poignant moment, the first meeting between the whenua; the sacred placenta, (the baby's first home) and the baby’s pāpā. His fingers trace the intricate lines of flesh, connecting generations, culture, and life itself. This image speaks to the profound bond between a father and his child, the roots of a family's whakapapa, and the timeless beauty of birth. It is a testament to the enduring traditions of māori culture.
