A GIFTED WARRIOR    Wetini Mitai-Ngatai is a highly respected figure in the world of kapa haka, renowned for his exceptional skills as both an orator and performer. For many years, he has served as both the leader and tutor of the Te Matarae i Ōrehu Kapa Haka , a kapa haka group based in Rotorua, has left an indelible mark on the national cultural landscape and even help take Māori performance to the world.    Te Matarae i Ōrehu made its debut appearance at the prestigious Te Matatini competition in Rotorua back in 1996. It was a momentous occasion that marked the beginning of a remarkable journey for the team, which went on to become one of the most beloved kapa haka groups in the country. Over the years, the group achieved numerous milestones, including winning several regional and two national titles, and earning a reputation for its outstanding performances that showcased the very best of Maori culture.    However, several weeks ago, the group was disbanded, much to the disappointment of its fans and supporters. To shed some light on this unexpected turn of events, we had the opportunity to sit down with one of the key tutors of the Te Matarae i Ōrehu group. During our conversation, we discussed the history of the group, the art form of Kapa Haka, and the factors that contributed to its closure.   This is his story. Indigenous 100 - Wetini Mitai-Ngatai

Thousands of young people have been performing at Otago Polyfest this week, marking 30 years of celebrating Māori and Pacific culture. More than 140 early childhood centres and schools are taking part in this year's festival in Dunedin, featuring Kapa Haka and Pacific Island performances. RNZ Pacific's Eleisha Foon is in Dunedin covering the week-long festival.

Almost 500 children - and at least twice that number of proud mums and dads, aunties, kaumātua and kuia - gathered in the Bay of Islands yesterday to celebrate their culture and enjoy being together. Reporter Peter de Graaf went along to see some of Northland's future kapa haka stars in action.

Look, I'm not upset about the cost of taking those two planes on that diplomatic trip to China. Of course, $150,000 on fuel for the backup plane is a lot of money, it's not a great spend. But the alternative is spending up to $6 million on buying a new plane. Which is what we actually need to do, but until we do that, we're probably going to have a bunch of these costs. No, my problem is the climate miles. What did we say last week about Chris Luxon and the Tesla? We said: In politics, there is no crime that is greater than hypocrisy. Politicians can lie, they can spend money poorly- supporters can forgive them for that kind of stuff because we expect that from politicians. But they cannot be hypocrites, and this is hypocritical from the Labour Party. Because if we have got a climate emergency that is so urgent and so bad that Labour is trying to stop farmers and tradies buying utes- which they need on their land- then I'm sorry, but the Prime Minister simply cannot have two planes in the air at once. If Labour really believes that you and I have to get out of our cars and walk or bike huge distances to work, then, sorry, the Prime Minister cannot have two planes going in the same direction at once. And if the climate is burning up so fast that we have to give $140 million of taxpayer money to an international corporate to be able to help them buy a climate-friendly furnace, then I'm sorry, but the Prime Minister simply cannot have two planes in the air headed to China at once. One plane, yes. Two planes, no. He should have thought about this. He should have thought- shock horror- about catching the old commercial jets to China like the rest of us. I know it's inconvenient because maybe all 30 members of the media tagging along on the free planes would not be able to afford to go on the commercial jet, because media aren't flush at the moment. And that would have meant Chippy doesn't get all that free publicity, and maybe he wouldn't have been able to take the Kapa Haka group with him. Maybe it's a bit of a schlep having to drag the Prime Minister and entourage through the Chinese airports, but hey, it really sucks for farmers having to shell out another $6900 in penalty taxes just to buy a ute. Because it's a climate emergency, they have to do that. So maybe if it's a climate emergency, you just take one plane, not two. It's hard to outdo Matt, Harry, and Meghan on climate hypocrisy, but Chippy's managed it. At least they only have one plane, he's got two. Let's be honest about it, this is not going to change anyone's vote at the election. Whether Chippy takes one plane or takes two planes and makes a climate hypocrite of himself or his Party- whatever. But what it means is that it's going to be very hard for him to take the moral high ground on the climate this election. It's going to be really hard for Chippy to pretend that National and ACT are some sort of climate devils like he probably planned- you can see that writing on the wall- while painting himself as a climate warrior. He can't do that anymore, can he? Because nobody else in probably the whole country has ever taken two planes to China. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Haka was given a financial boost in the budget. The biennial Kapa Haka Festival, Te Matatini received its biggest increase in funding since it first started 50 years ago. It is a part of the government's "no frills" budget with an overall total of $825 million going towards Maori arts, education, health, justice, media and housing. Kapa Haka performers and fans around the motu are thrilled about the extra putea. Pokere Paewai reports

John MacDonald was joined by Labour's Dan Rosewarne and National's Gerry Brownlee for today's Budget Special edition of Politics Friday.  Why is $14 million being spent on MP security, when just $15 million is going into retail crime prevention?

In this episode we are excited to speak with Dr. Kate Riegle van West about her research on the health benefits of Poi. Kate is a scientist, artist, and entrepreneur with a passion for play and wellbeing. She completed her PhD in the health benefits of poi at the University of Auckland, where she conducted the first study to scientifically investigate the effects of poi on physical and cognitive function in older adults. She was awarded the Future Leader Award from the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Best Doctoral Thesis Award for her work in the poi/health field. Kate shares about how she discovered poi through circus - and her early life growing up in a town called Normal, a small American town with a circus history. She shares how a lack of published research was proving to be an obstacle in establishing programs in health settings, which along with the positive effects she noticed in her own brain and body, inspired her to move to Aotearoa New Zealand to conduct the first scientific study on the effects of poi on physical and cognitive function. We talk about the differences between International Poi and Maori Poi and some of the considerations and challenges when researching and sharing practices from another culture, as well as how joining a Kapa Haka group has helped Kate reconnect with the joy of poi.

A kapa haka group's remaining members are reflecting on how far te ao Māori has come - 50 years on from its time in the spotlight. Māwai Hākona won the second ever kapa haka competition in the Polynesian Festival - which is now known as Te Matatini. Reporter Ashleigh McCaull and cameraman Angus Dreaver went to speak with them.  

The former president of the Maori Women's Welfare League and Kapa Haka advocate, Dame Aroha Reriti-Crofts, will be laid to rest today at her urupa near Kaiapoi. Ashleigh McCaull reports.

Te Matatini - the world's biggest kapa haka competition - turns 50 on Friday. It all started in 1972 with the 17 kapa haka performing at the inaugural festival in Rotorua representing the eight Maori Council districts. The festival has since grown into one of the largest cultural festivals in the world and is arguably the most anticipated event on the Maori calendar. RNZ's Mani Dunlop looks back.

Te Roopū Māori Kapa Haka Interview by Dave Borrie on Radio One 91fm Dunedin

Te Roopū Māori Kapa Haka Interview by Dave Borrie on Radio One 91fm Dunedin

This week, we are joined by Te Rita Papesch, a legendary figure in the Maori tradition of Kapa Haka, and Sharon Mazer, her friend and an American performance studies researcher. Together, they converse about Kapa Haka as a manifestation of the historic relations between the Maori people and their “Kiwi” colonizers, one which is embedded in the everyday life of the community but also undergoing constant change as performers adjust to the increased global visibility of their performances. Mazer describes the national Kapa Haka gatherings, which attract thousands of attendees and are nationally televised, as “a theatrical event incorporated into an Olympic competition encased in a ritual frame.” Papesch is the consummate insider, the matron of a family of Haka performers, whose influence stretches back to the 1970s, whereas Mazer offers the perspective of an informed outsider who has been observing the performances for more than twenty years. Together, they model bicultural conversation as they teach us how to read Kapa Haka’s place in the cultural politics of New Zealand. A full transcript of this conversation will be available soon!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Co-authored writing by Te Rita Papesch & Sharon Mazer:Breaking the Stage: From Te Matatini to Footprints/TapuwaeBut can it be Art?

Dr Leonie Pihama and Dr Jillian Tipene of Te Kotahi Research Institute at The University of Waikato provide a brief analysis into their scoping report commissioned by Manātu Tāonga (Ministry for Culture and Heritage) and Te Matatini ltd. Te Kotahi used kaupapa māori research methodologies to engage with focus groups who, in some cases are at the frontline of kapa haka. One main part of the report findings was that kapa haka is undervalued. Dr Pihama and Dr Tipene discuss the health, social and economic benefits of kapa haka, and the untapped potential of traditional maori performing arts.
