Weekly magazine style series Koha debuted in 1980, providing a primetime insight into te ao Māori and becoming a training ground for Māori visual storytellers. Presented by Robin Kora, this special marks Koha's final programme, and celebrates a decade of material. Moving through the years, the many excerpts include a retelling of the Maui legend, a dramatisation of a Patricia Grace story, the 1984 Te Māori exhibition opening in New York and a look at the dire rate of smoking amongst Māori wahine. Interviews and tributes include Hone Kaa, Ranginui Walker, and proud Koha producer Ernie Leonard.
