Where the funding goes.

Sam's Creek. The Final Chapter is in post-production, and the music keeps moving alongside it. Every dollar tracked here goes directly toward finishing the film, sound mix, colour grade, festival delivery, and toward the ongoing recording and performance work. Nothing hidden, nothing vague. This is the whole picture, updated live.

Sams Awa. The Declarations
Sams Awa · The Declarations

To: The Governor General and the Minister

Be Bold and Expand Kahurangi National Park

We urge the Minister to include Sams Creek, North West Nelson Forest Park, and the Tākaka River within Kahurangi National Park. Hard rock gold mining cannot take place in National Parks. Waikoropupū would be safe.
