Maori Television’s current affairs show Native Affairs will celebrate Maori Language Week this year by presenting a show entirely in te reo, with subtitles, and on a reo theme.
Reporter Annabelle Lee-Harris profiles Jeremy McLeod, a young Kahungunu, Te Arawa and Rangitane man who’s bucking the trend of Maori moving to Australia in search of a better quality of life. As a 17-year-old this Mozzie headed home to the Hawke’s Bay, despite being born and bred in Brisbane, to quench his thirst for te ao Maori. Five years on, Annabelle checks out where he’s at on his journey to fluency.
Tina Wickliffe heads to the tiny East Coast settlement of Rangitukia to see how locals are preserving, and passing on, a distinct regional dialect.
Two veterans of the Maori political scene, Henare Kingi and Koro Wetere join us in the studio to discuss recent developments as the coalition government hits mid-term.
The special show is rounded out with performances from te reo Maori musicians, Ruia Aperahama and Ngatapa Black.
Join Julian Wilcox and the team from NATIVE AFFAIRS this Monday at 8.30PM.
