I HAVE always loved your character in “Once were warriors”. my mother works in a domestic violence shelter and she sees first hand what domestic violence causes. The women who see this movie see themselves and see that there is hope for them. they can recognize there situation and you may not know it, but you help these women to become strong in their lives. Even across other side of the world, you have made a huge difference in many womens’ lives. thank you very much for your bravery.

Hi Rena! I just wanted to tell you that I look forward to meeting you at OmegaCon this weekend. I’ll be there with Lightning Bear. See you then!

hey rena, just watched warriors again, first time for a while and realised its got to be one of the most powerful movies ive seen. so good to see something not glossed up. some of your scenes make my hair stand on end, the final”our people once were warriors” scene outside the pub is one of the best lines of dialogue ever. you are a legend, thanks for putting everything into a great kiwi movie. God bless-mark d.
kia ora taku hoa. kei te pehea koe? ka hoki mai ahau ki Moerewa i tenei tau. usually catch up to mum when i get there, and Paul. hope to catch you back home one day. good skills girl, been carried off stage by the principal lately…….that was your best live act. you truly stole the show and it was all impromtu…tino arohanui Somain, Tommy me nga whanau katoa
Aloha e Rena!
Pehea ‘oe? Kia ora and welina mai nei from Honolulu. Laimana here-I was your dresser in Fine Dancing–Mahina Rapu’s hula sister–I made your red ti leaf skirt. We had some fun times–I still have the spatula that you autographed “Wahine Toa” & “Use only for beer” in my kitchen. Mahina’s back in Rapa Nui but next time you’re in Honolulu, drop me an email and we can do Kincaids at Ward Warehouse where you can pretend to be Sistah Robi Kahakalau again :)(lol) You better learn some of her songs. Congratulations on all of your success!
Malama pono and God Bless!

Rena:
You are a fantastic actress and your performance in Once were Warriors was simply astonishing. Actually,I’ve just finished watching “Broken Hearted” for the first time and you looked 10 times more beautiful.
I am married to a Kiwi and I also visited your beautiful country about 11 years ago.The Maori people are very spiritual,rich in culture and as a Carribean-American(Haiti)I felt the connection immediately. I was also touched when the Maori Guide chose me to represent my tour bus at a traditional Maori ceremony and a Hangi during my visit.It was an incredible experience!I will never forget it.
You are a great artist and I enjoy your work very very much.
Love,
Leslie
