What a fantastic video of my namesake and great grandfather. Very proud indeed!

Only a couple of comments - he got his BA from Canterbury not Otago and I believe there were only 11 children in total (not 14)? I could be wrong on that last part.

Thankful for his legacy, as I am sure things would be much different today if it were not for his efforts.

Great seeing this about my grandfather Apirana. I saw myself at his tangi in 1950 and at the end of the film- me with the curly hair.
