Ngāti Wairere historian and carver Wiremu Puke phones in to talk to us about his Iwi. We kōrero around the whakapapa, and find out some interesting facts about Hamilton place names along the way.

Our first RRR kōrero covers the functions of negating with "kāore aku", applying possesives like "māu/mōu, nōku/ōku, nāku/āku" etc, along with "a vs ā" and "ā and ō" category differentiations. Along the way we unpack the kupu and give examples of how they can and should be used in Te Reo Māori.
