This is a fantastic episode with so much positive support and endless care from many people. The fact that a few years ago these same families were against each other not standing side by side in supporting everyone. Much love and respect to everyone involved in this strong movement. ❤🇦🇺🙏❤️

[@WHK76]

Too much my family yo us WHAKATANE FOREVER thanks for taking the time to go to our home town brother I've watched all your videos and always hoped you visited our hood was good to see you bro.

Brother H, what a changed man and an awesome leader for his Whanau! I remember back in the days this guy looked liked if he didnt know you, its on! Met him at the gym last year, handshake and introduced himself to me. Mean mahi the BP brothaz and awesome video

[@TutamureKing]

Ive noticed your getting yur Maori lingo bak kuhz hahah love Yur mahi mbrotha 🤙

[@MoseIsaako-gr4yy]

Even though NZ is flooded with gangs still the light comes through and change some of the brothers to walk another path. Brother H is solid and keep up the good mahi brother. Thanks for the podcast USO ✝️❤️❤️

[@Mr.BradRaven]

This is the side of “gangs” that the public need to see. The Whanau, the support the love for each other. Nga mihi for this!! ❤

Wicked insight bro, looking forward to the k-town one

[@BradStrutOfficial]

Heartwarming episode. Beautiful to watch. Bless up Dave and all who featured in the vid🙏🏼

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

I live just around the corner bro and used to hang around Awatapu growing up across the lagoon before there were houses. Got some good young Māori leaders in these guys and they're doing a great job teaching the young ones. Next time you down come out for a forage and a taste test. 🙏🏽

Dont really comment on your vids bro but Mean Mahi again brother Dave.... love your content showing Aotearoa NZ theres more to thre gangs then just what our government & mainstream media tell us Blessings always in Jesus name Yeshua Ha-Mashiach 🙏🏼 👊🏼

I admire and appreciate the mahi that goes into sharing these stories bro, thank you!

[@deanhoward7534]

Awesome bro! So good to hear good things happening in our community ❤

[@Jack-x9i2i]

Would be buzzy to time travel and interview the white power gangs. There might be a few old heads still kicking around that could provide an insight into the White Power gangs. Could make for interesting content.

[@Mr.BradRaven]

I have a few recent videos on my channel about the WP movement in Chch in the 90s. there are a few of the old crowd around, but they aren’t reformed, they got old and retired. I dont know many who would be keen to talk about their past, but I agree, it would be good to see.

Good work Dave super positive changes

[@HTDSNZ]

A lot of people do not know it was Christ who lifted the Maori out of their old ways in the 1800s. Here again, in the 2000s, he is doing it again. I am so glad to see the change in heart of these fellas. They are changing the future path of all who come after them.

[@justycescott7]

Christ has NOTHING to do with it infact Christ has nothing to do with Māori period sick of people thanking god for shit when the praise should go to themselves

[@HTDSNZ]

@justycescott7 All you have done with this comment is show your own ignorance of our history. The tribes converted to Christianity, and it was Christianity that drew them away from tikanga, utu and cannabalism. This is what the chiefs had to say on the matter themselves. You sound angry, maybe you should get to a church and you will find people who will care about you. All said in kindness to you, All the best.

[@badenteare7611]

@@HTDSNZ This is correct - Christ also gave us the power to break our superstitions. I rmember my mum (boomer) reminding us to call on Jesus when those maori heebee geebees come a knocking. And we did. And it worked. That spoke volumes in itself....our spirituality as a people is staunch and true - but not immune to darkness. Christ brought the light and we have found our way out.

Brother H what a humble dude giving back to the community he damaged through dealing respect shot the bro for giving the brothers the platform the man, hope you come to Taranaki 1 day☝️

Is your korero with Mike on YT? White gangs hunting Maori? I had no idea, Id always know its as a BP town and I'm old. Cheers for this.

[@danieljackson443]

Use to live in whk 10 years ago. Lived there for 8 or so years in the hood in kingi place right around the time the outbacks started. Every member I got to meet were awesome people my house was safe and family were safe. Even done my community work with the late president of the movement and learnt alot about them while doing it. Living in whk taught me a diffrent way of life for the good and to not look at patch members as a "gang" but as a whanau. Seeing them progress how they said they wanted it to progress back then is wicked.

[@deanwaretini1241]

Awesome podcast brother Dave ive watched all your videos since you first started proud is an understatement wicked to see the change in the gang culture as they've transitioned as a whanau and definitely showing the government and mainstream media the wake up they need hope you will be able to do a podcast in Rotorua if you havent already i might have missed it.mad respect bro you just keep getting better at what you are doing for our people.

[@Kiwi-LSA]

Great work Dave your a massive roll model 👍

[@Fromthekayy]

Aw this was a cool watch 😊 born & bred in kawerau but whk is defs one of my favorite places in NZ. Saw heaps of familiar faces in this too & its always cool to see a town you know from the back of your head from someone who isnt from round these ways point of view.

[@lovethechase5493]

HHHHayche… that’s the Aussie pronunciation lol. I’m kiwi too but foreal I think that’s the proper way to say the letter. Because when you pronounce words with H in it. It emphasises the letter to pronounce it like Hayche lol like house, horse, hotel and hammer.
