The term “Koha” is not a Japanese term, it is in fact a Māori word, it is often used to describe a gift, but it goes a lot deeper. In part 2 of 2: Mariameno speaks of the gift of being an Uchi Deshi (live in student) and what she received form the experience, but also what she gave back in return. Hence the “Uchi Deshi Koha.” Mariameno Kapa Kingi Sensei, sits down to talk about her journeys in the world of Budo, studying Aikido at Iwama, a place that some would describe as the cradle from which Aikido springs.

An Auckland community is disputing the development of housing on the site of the Sanctuary Mahi Whenua Gardens. The gardens are based on the old Unitec campus site in Mount Albert and have existed for 26 years as a community hub and education tool. In October the Government approved development of hundreds of homes via the fast-track bill, which garden members say flies in the face of the agreement made when the land was purchased by The Crown in 2018. Rohan MacMahon, a representative for the Sanctuary Mahi Whenua Gardens community talks to Jesse.

Identity defines and shapes us all - and if we don't know who we are - or don't accept who we are, it is easy to feel lost and even harder to see a way forward. Dan Te Whenua Walker is a child of two cultures - born to a Scottish father and a Maori mother, growing up he says he struggled to find a sense of belonging. But the love and support of his kuia - on both sides of his family - helped to connect him to his roots and set him on the right path. Dan, of Ngati Ruanui, is now Senior Partner Development Manager and the first global co-chair for Indigenous at Microsoft - a group that empowers employees to share, support and celebrate indigenous culture. He talks to Mihingarangi about finding his place in the world - and his plan to shape AI using Te Ao Maori.

There's a concern the Government's school shakeup could drive more students to drop out early. New data shows that over 1,300 students were granted an early leaving exemption last year – the highest since 2007. The Government is proposing to remove subjects from senior school general subject list, reclassifying them as a limited vocational option – one being Outdoor Education. Whenua Iti Outdoors CEO Mark Bruce-Miller told Ryan Bridge that outdoor education allows all students flourish in areas that are difficult to work on within a classroom environment, such as teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience, and initiative. He says students need to be as well-rounded as possible when leaving school, and removing outdoor education from the list means some students won't get those benefits.

INTERVIEW: Theia on new single 'Hoki Whenua Mai (Return The Land)' by Zac Hoffman on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

Screen industry practitioners Piripi Curtis, Te Kohe Tuhaka, Angela Cudd, and Tihini Grant discuss the diverse strategies Māori producers employ within their unique productions, with the aim of creating a greater awareness of Māori values, practices and perspectives when it comes to filming on iwi and hapu owned land.   This session shares respectful engagement practices and nuances of engaging with mana whenua. 

Just Yesterday, the Ministry for the Environment released their Our environment 2025 report, highlighting the impacts of land use on the ecosystem of Aotearoa. The report revealed that between 75-95% of Taonga birds, reptiles, frogs and freshwater fish species were at risk of extinction or being threatened and that a significant proportion of groundwater had accumulated excess nitrate due to activities such as intensive farming, logging and urbanisation. These findings also paint a grave picture for te iwi Māori and tangata whenua, whose livelihoods and mana whenua are also threatened by the extinction of native species and degradation of land. Oto spoke to Shaun Awatere, a Kaihautū Māori Research Impact Leader and Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research, about the findings from the Ministry for the Environment's recent report and the initiatives led by Iwi and Hapu to address it.

In several places in Aotearoa the land tells the story of conflicts which have shaped NZ on a cultural and political level.

Paul Diamond reviews Toitu Te Whenua by Lauren Keenan published by Penguin Random House NZ

Earlier this week, the nine-day trek that was Hīkoi mō te Tiriti made it to its final destination, the grounds of Parliament.  The hīkoi was in response to a myriad of policies from the National, ACT, and NZ First coalition government regarding Māori and te Tiriti o Waitangi, including the ACT Party's highly controversial Treaty Principles Bill, and sought to highlight how te Tiriti unites Aotearoa through kotahitanga.  Producer Sofia spoke to renowned Māori activist and artist, Tāme Iti, about the overall energy on the hīkoi, the support for its kaupapa, and the message he thinks it sent to the coalition.  Wire Hosts Caeden and Castor were at the hīkoi in Te Whanganui-a-Tara on Tuesday. They spoke to Tangata Whenua, Tangata Moana, and Tangata Tiriti about why they were there, also asking protestors if they had a message for ACT leader David Seymour, who brought the Bill to Parliament.

This week we're jumping out of series for Labour Weekend with Aidan Wivell bringing us a message titled: Just Rest. Preaching out of Deuteronomy 5:12-15, this Labour Weekend as we remember the history of the 8-hour working day, we explore the Biblical practice of Sabbath, which thousands of years earlier placed limits on work and protected space for rest. We'll look at Sabbath though the Māori framework of Atua, Tangata, and Whenua, and see how Sabbath is an act of justice which creates space, not just for us, but for others and for God's creation.

Dr Peter Keegan (Waikato-Maniapoto, Ngāti Porou) has self-published a book, Ko te Torotoro i te Whenua o Īnia, which explores his travels to India over the past 30 years.

The inquiry estimated up to 200,000 people were abused in care between 1950 and 2019 and revealed that during that time, Maori survivors reported higher levels of physical abuse compared with other ethnicities. The Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, the Minister Leading the response to the Commission's report, and the Minister for Children are all standing by the launch of the new boot camp on Monday saying it is important to note it is different from the boot camps of the past highlighted in the commission's report.

Aotearoa's complicated history of land sales is the focus of a new series from the New Zealand Herald. Whenua: Our Land, Our History, is an interactive map showing how Māori land passed into Pākehā ownership and the stories surrounding it. It confronts questions some of us prefer not to ask because they raise uncomfortable issues about Aotearoa's colonial legacy, and how those impacts are still being felt today. On The Front Page today, we get the story of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei with their Trust's deputy chair, Ngarimu Blair, and discuss the decision to make this series with Chief Content Officer for the Herald and NZME, Murray Kirkness. To read more about how these land sales impacted all iwi around Aotearoa, and the stories by NZ Herald journalists, head to nzherald.co.nz.   Whenua is a New Zealand Herald data-led project, supported by NZ On Air, in association with Māori land legal expert Adrienne Paul.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Matariki weekend will see the 25th anniversary of Whenua Hou or Codfish Island predator free sanctuary. It's been a remarkable success, pulling kakapo from the jaws of extinction as well as helping other species.

The Plant Variety Rights Act 2022 is the first legal major reform to implement the Waitangi Tribunal's recommendations in response to Wai 262: Ko Aotearoa Tēnei, or more commonly known as the indigenous flora and fauna claim.  Senior Lecturer Above the Bar at the University of Canterbury Faculty of Law and legal anthropologist, Dr David Jefferson, is researching the Act, as well as other legal frameworks, focussing on the impacts and potential for mana whenua in biodiversity management to protect taonga plants and mātauranga Māori.   Producer Sofia spoke to Jefferson about his research, and whether the Plant Variety Rights Act 2022 fulfils the Crown's treaty obligations.

Film and TV reviewer Tamar Munch joins Kathryn to talk about documentary Beyond Utopia (DocPlay) which looks at the network of safe houses and "underground railroads" used by North Korean defectors to get to freedom. 

Tangata whenua are protesting across 20 centres Tuesday morning in a National Action Day with the backing of Te Pāti Māori. They plan to disrupt traffic in multiple locations and are calling for the new government to honour Te Tiriti, respect the Māori language, keep the Māori Health Authority and ensure a smoke free New Zealand. Lady Tureiti Moxon is taking part in the action in Hamilton.  She says she's angry about plans to remove te reo from the names of government departments, abolish the Māori Health Authority and review of all legislation that includes Treaty principles. All of which she says are anti-Māori. Moxon spoke to Corin Dann.

Whenua: [grunts in frustration] That was a complete waste of time! Lhikan: Without self-discovery, you will never find your destiny. This is every Toa's duty to the Great Spirit. Whenua: This whole thing is a load of doody if you ask me.

Tonight on The Huddle, Kiwiblog contributor and Curia pollster David Farrar and former Labour Chief of Staff and Director at Mike Munro Communications, Mike Munro joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more! School leaders are expecting staffing challenges for Term 3 as the teaching staff shortage continues to worsen. Is this going to impact voters come October? The Green Party have announced their new Hoki Whenua Mai policy. A Commission of Inquiry will investigate land taken through Te Tiriti o Waitangi breaches, end perpetual leases, and reform the Public Works Act to prevent Maori land being taken again. How necessary is this policy? Will Labour consider it if they win the election?  The Government has announced several changes to the justice system, including making filming ram-raids an aggravating factor in criminal sentencing and cracking down on people who encourage children to commit crimes. Will this fix anything? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last year, the Anglican church purchased ten acres at Rangiaowhia outside of Te Awamutu, with the intention of enabling its return to Ngāti Apakura. The hapū is currently leasing the land from the church, allowing them to harvest from their traditional whenua for the first time in 160 years. Ngāti Apakura lost the land in the violent attack at Rangiaowhia in 1864, and it's hoped the harvest will be a step towards restoration of the whenua and hapū. Libby Kirkby-McLeod was at the first harvest.

Professor Huhana Smith, who heads Whiti o Rehua School of Art at Massey University, has spent the last 20 years focussed on the restoration of her ancestral coastal whenua and awa at Kuku Beach, near Levin. One of the tools she's using is Biochar, the carbon-rich remains of slow-burned wood.

Māori leaders say Jacinda Ardern will leave a lasting legacy for tangata whenua, including health reforms, better representation, a Matariki public holiday and the teaching of the country's history.    But there is also frustration among some sectors about the pace of reform, criticism of Crown overreach into Māori affairs and scorn at continued inequities.    Ella Stewart has more.

The people Ngāti Manu who will tomorrow celebrate the return of its whenua after wating 177 years.  John McIntosh has sold the Otuihu pā site to the crown, with an expectation it will be returned to Ngāti Manu under redress. Ngāti Manu kaumatua Arapeta Hamilton spoke to Māni Dunlop.

The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments in a case that could decide whether polluting companies are breaching important duties to New Zealanders.  Sitting at the Environmental Court in Auckland, the Supreme Court will make a decision as to whether or not to strike out a claim against New Zealand's 7 biggest emitters of greenhouse gasses by a Northland man who says they are breaching well-established common law principles by contributing to climate change. Mike Smith is the climate spokesperson for the Iwi Chairs Forum, and is claiming that ongoing pollution by corporations such as Fonterra, Genesis and Z Energy has damaged his Whenua and sites of cultural and historical significance to him and his whānau. To discuss the legal aspects of this case, as well as the role of tikanga Maori in the decision-making, Emilia Sullivan spoke to Geoff McLay from Victoria University Law School.

Iwi across Te-Matau-a-Maui or Hawke's Bay are making big investments in orchards, bringing whānau back to their whenua. They hope this new kaupapa will bring their people jobs. Here's our Hawke's Bay reporter Tom Kitchin.  

Te Pāti Māori and the National Māori Authority are backing calls for the establishment of an iwi bank to finance building on Māori land. It comes after Maori housing advocates complained red tape and barriers at the bank were preventing whanau building on their own land. Anei te kai ripoata a Ella Stewart.

Some tangata whenua can't legally access their own land and it's preventing them building houses for whanau who want to live there. It comes after RNZ this morning reported barriers at the bank are stopping some Māori building on their land. Here's Ella Stewart.

Some Māori leaders are now hoping the Government has finally recognised the role of tangata whenua when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Others say there are still gaps missing that the Emissions Reduction Plan doesn't address. Ashleigh McCaull reports.

It's time to recloak the whenua in native trees or lose more of it to extreme weather events - that's the call from well-known east coaster Manu Caddie. A series of storms in Tairāwhiti has left parts of the district mud covered and scarred with slips and erosion. Slash or wood debris from logging operations has also ended up in waterways. Former district councillor and Ruatorea-based entrepreneur Manu Caddie talks to Lisa Owen.

Dr Bryan Mitchelson is a paediatric cardiologist at Starship Children's Hospital in Auckland. He works in the growing area of paediatric heart failure and transplantation and is involved in projects aimed at improving outcomes in young people after heart transplantation. Bryan is a self-proclaimed mozzie (Māori/Aussie) having been born and raised in Australia, but is trying to re-engage with his Māori roots now that he is living in New Zealand. In this episode, we discuss his journey from rural Australia into medicine, work-life balance, rediscovering his Māori whakapapa and tūrangawaewae, taking time away from medicine to care for his terminally-ill father, and all things paediatric cardiology. As always, if you have any feedback or queries, or if you would like to get in touch with the speaker, feel free to get in touch at doctornos@pm.me.Audio credit:Bliss by Luke Bergs https://soundcloud.com/bergscloudCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/33DJFs9Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/e9aXhBQDT9YSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/doctornos)
