Hongi to Hāngī: And Everything in Between

Tāmati Rīmene-Sproat asks the question in Māori Language week "Why is waiata so important to Māori?" We hear the old favourite songs and look at the role waiata have played in nation building.

Tāmati Rīmene-Sproat takes us to Waitangi where we visit the Waitangi Treaty grounds, Te Tii marae and the famous Waitangi bridge – site of manu dives and protest action.
