The late Tawhao Tioke was a Ngāi Tūhoe kaumatua and an ordained Presbyterian minister who was born in the forests of Te Urewera. In 1982 RNZ's 'Spectrum' programme went with him into the bush around Wellington to learn about his knowledge of the forest and the uses of different plants. Today Ngā Taonga's Kahu Kutia (who is also from Ngāi Tūhoe) is going to share some excerpts of the programme from the sound archives.
