The government's recent announcement that NZ history will be have to be taught in school, addresses the anomaly that saw this country one of few in the world that hasn't had its own history as a compulsory school subject. For a still young country, there is a very rich backstory. This is examined in RNZ new webseries launching today. The Aotearoa History Show, was made possible by the RNZ/ NZ On Air Digital Innovation fund. William Ray from RNZ's features and podcasts team along with and RNZ's Maori Issues Correspondent Leigh-Marama McLachlan have been working on the project. Kathryn talks to William about the fascinating content.
