In this episode, Petra explores Aotearoa New Zealand's maturing relationship to the language and culture of Māori, our tangata whenua/indigenous people.
Petra's first guest is radio royalty Robert Rakete (Ngāpuhi) speaking on his career and upbringing - including the fact that Robbie's father was not allowed to speak his own mother tongue of te reo Māori in school. Robbie reflects on the movement he's seen over his life, his hopes for the future, and that now iconic moment of sharing The Breeze's jingle recorded in te reo Māori for the first time.
Petra also speaks with Aroha Tamihana (Ngāti Raukawa/Ngāti Ranginui), an artist based in Tauranga, who creates unique resources celebrating Māori language and culture through her design studio Maimoa Creative. Aroha and her husband did not grow up speaking te reo Māori but they resolved to learn their mother tongue and teach it to their children - it is now their children's first language.
