The final issue of Tui Motu magazine for the year is on its way to you. We thank Theresa Reihana, an artist in Northland, for the beautiful cover painting.

As the theme of our last issue suggests, we come to this stage of the year with hearts full of gratitude for many things but especially that we could publish Tui Motu magazine through this year dominated by COVID-19. That was a combined effort of writers, artists and the TM team. We were also greatly helped by the government through the COVID wage subsidy and recently a Publications Initiative grant from the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. Such generosity along with donations from you have ensured that we remain solvent.

BUT, we need more subscribers. It is an increase in the number of subscribers that will make all the difference to our business. We need 100 more please!
