Toa Hunter-Gatherer - First Episode

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2016

Kia ora koutou, I'm heading home to Te Urewera to visit my whānau and talk about times of old. I plan to join them on a hunt, and hopefully I can provide kai for my community.
– Owen Boynton introduces the episode
The tangata whenua here in Waimana is chasing pigs around with a rock. That's core hunter warrior that one.
– Owen Boynton on pig hunting, Waimana valley style
Today, hunting is portrayed as a sport — for recreational hunters. Our show is more about getting in touch with our history, learning from our elders and looking at traditional ways a hunter gatherer would once do things.
– Owen Boynton in an interview with Te Ahua Maitland, Stuff website, 25 August 2016
