Plogging the He Kupu Rangatira Proverb Pathway and Manawatū Observatory

Trinity Anderson takes viewers on a plogging journey down Palmerston North’s He Kupu Rangatira Proverb Pathway, from the Manawatū Observatory to the river below.

Along the way, she explores carved Māori wisdom, environmental care, and personal memories stitched into every step.

As the wind whips along the ridge, Trinity reflects on her mother’s diaries, uncovering a surprising connection to a familiar face and a chapter that began in Kathmandu. With thoughtful narration, harakeke-lined paths, and the familiar clack of plogging tongs, this video weaves together cultural heritage, quiet restoration, and the tender persistence of memory.

It’s not just a cleanup; it’s a story about family, language, healing, and finding meaning in each small act. Trinity’s voice continues to grow louder in this series, grounding the project in both care for place and the past.
