Mana Magazine October / November 09 issue no. 90
Tena koutou katoa
It's 15 years since we last interviewed Rena Owen. Back then she was on the brink of fame for her role of Beth Heke in the award-winning movie Once Were Warriors. Currently in New Zealand from her Hollywood base to play the challenging role of Aroha in Bruce Mason's classic play, The Pohutukawa Tree, Rena took time out to renew her acquaintance with Mana and share some of the highs and lows of her busy life after Beth.
As well, there are our regular features on fishing, kai, sport, books and history.
Mana is New Zealand's leading Maori lifestyle, current affairs and heritage magazine.
Mana 90 is on sale from September 24.
Mana Kai
In this segment of Mana Kai we introduce readers to KONO NZ – a unique Maori-owned company - and feature some delicious mussel recipes using succulent greenshell mussel - Mana Kai.
