Kapowairua, Te Hapua and the history and origins of Ngati Kuri.
In this special interview entirely in te reo Maori, Mapuna is in Kaitaia at the home of one of the acknowledged kaumatua of the Far North, Graeme Neho. Matua Kerema Neho regales us with some of the history of his iwi Ngati Kuri, like the origin of the name Kapowairua or the name of Te Hapua. He also speaks of the ongoing development to recall and store the history and traditions of the people of Ngati Kuri.
