Waiata are more than songs; they are a way of preserving history, culture and language by passing them down through generations. Waiata Māori connect people to whenua, whakapapa and whānau. Join a waiata kōrero with our panel of experts: Ria Hall (Ngāi te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui, Te Whānau-ā-Apanui), Anika Moa (Ngāpuhi,Te Aupōuri) and Warren Maxwell (Tūhoe, Kahungunu, Ngāi Te Rangi and Scotland).

Recorded at the Featherston Booktown Karukatea Festival on 10th May 2025.
