Children in a rural New Zealand school sing about their community

The song Our Toanga by the Sea has been produced by the children and wider community of Hampden [map link], and it's simply a nice look at a rural New Zealand South Island coastal settlement (on Highway 1 just North of Dunedin). I think this has come out at the right time as (most of) the people of NZ are very worried about the new government. We need to remind ourselves of what we have so we can move forward again - this song I think will help. Toanga in the song name is Māori for treasure Aotearoa is the Māori name for New Zealand. The online Māori Dictionary is an extraordinary resource with a nice format, all about the words of our place.
