Hongi to Hāngī: And Everything in Between

Hongi to Hāngī: And Everything in Between offers a friendly introductory guide to cultural traditions central to te ao Māori. The first season featured presenter Tāmati Rimene-Sproat walking viewers through a first-time visit to a marae. In the second series, episodes explore the special place waiata occupy in Māoridom, and the significance of Matariki (Māori New Year). Rimene-Sproat also explains New Zealand's national day, viewing the original Te Tiriti O Waitangi documents and visiting Te Tii marae — a place of politics, protest and celebration. Rimene-Sproat won Best Entertainment Presenter at the 2022 NZ TV Awards.
