Waka Huia
Since its first transmission in 1987, Waka Huia has - in about 500 hour long episodes - captured for all time, the faces and voices of many kaumatua who are no longer with us. In the process we have created a vital and important audio-visual archive of Iwi and Hapu life and history.
Waka Huia attempts to preserve the Maori language in its best form. It asserts a level of linguistic excellence that must be present in a society that is relearning its native tongue.
In the course of its long production history, Waka Huia has travelled many thousands of miles to hundreds of marae and special tribal areas. It has recorded thousands of hours of korero with hundreds of our tupuna.
