Hi Graham, clearing rights to screen further episodes of the TW series is a long process. Presently the only way you can view the whole series would be to go into the Film Archive in Wellington or Auckland and watch it there. http://www.filmarchive.org.nz

Thank you, thank you, thank you Michael, Barry and John for giving us motion pictures of our kaumatua, kuia, whanau whanui and some stories as told by them back in the early 70's. Thankyou for your foresight so that we as uri can share with our tamariki mokopuna. Ka mau te wehi.

Kia ora Tania: you're right, the episode on NZ On Screen is one part of six (see Paul Diamond's backgrounder for further info on the series: http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/tangata-whenua-waikato-1974/background#critique_0 ). We're working at clearing further episodes to show on the site, but this is a slow process involving iwi and whanau permissions. Currently their are two ways you might access further episodes: you could make a personal use request to TVNZ Archives (http://tvnz.co.nz/footage/request-form-personal-use-3379314 ) or you could visit the Wellington or Auckland branch of the Film Archives and watch an episode in one of the viewing rooms there.

Can anyone help me out here. This was originally a six part documentary of which one was screened in Taitokerau. From my memory this was series six, however I can only access up to series 4 here. I would like to view the last two series. Can anyone tell me how I can do that ?

Kia ora Tutara: unfortunately no episodes from the Tangata Whenua series are available for sale. FYI we're currently working on getting rights clearances to show further episodes of the important series on NZ On Screen. It's a lengthy but worthy mission; we will keep you posted.

A great documentary series -- one that many Pakeha could learn from. It's a shame that it is so difficult to come by -- is there any chance of uploading the entire series? Or, even better, bringing it out on DVD?!?!
