Te Karere - Waitangi Day 1984
Television (Excerpts) – 1984
This Te Karere special chronicles events at Waitangi Day in 1984, where there are expressions of both unity and protest. Derek Fox and Whai Ngata are the reporters. They follow a hīkoi protesting the idea of celebrating Waitangi Day, and a train hired by Tainui members to take their people to Waitangi. Topics of protest mentioned include land rights, the Waikato River and the Māori language. A number of leaders appear who have since passed away — including Hepi Te Heuheu (Ngāti Tūwharetoa), Robert Mahuta and Pumi Taituha (both Tainui), Sir James Hēnare (Ngāpuhi), and Kingi Ihaka (Te Aupōuri).
Nō te rua haora e tatari ana, ka hiki te Kāwana.– Whai Ngata
