Merenia Gray: my daughter plays her grandmother on stage

Tiahuia Te Puea Herangi was a prominent kaikaranga who died in 2019. She was raised by Princess Te Puea, a prominent leader of Tainui and the Kiingitanga in the first half of the 20th century. Tiahuia's daughter, Merenia Gray, is a dancer, choreographer and writer who's celebrating her mother's life at the Nelson Arts Festival later this month. She says her daughter, Elliette, plays the young version of Tiahuia on stage.
