In 1973 I was 8 years old and would go to Taharoa from our home in Te Awamutu and stay with my oldest sister Mere Katipa and her husband Sam Katipa at their home which was a company house ( the first house on the left as you enter the village) and I loved going there on an adventure , we'd ride on horses and eat maori kai ( eels,and watercress and brisket ,and fish ) it was wonderful to meet some of the elders in this video and now I still return to the people of Taharoa and attended tangihanga at Aruka and Te Kōraha marae to pay respect to the wonderful people whom I have met there through the years,they have beautiful hearts as is the true way of all of our Maori people. I am 60 years old now and will always hold dear to the memories of some of the kaumatua and wahine now all passed in this documentary video .

it took me back to days long gone and $50 or $70 was more than enough to provide for the family yeah I enjoyed the fact that a pakeha child was blessed on the local marae and welcomed into the community. Gave a sense that we generally got on with each other, I at the time did not have an opinion based on ethnic religious beliefs or creed, you were either a mate and friend or not.
I'm from Kainangā just out from Ruatorea. At that time, '73, we had no electricity; so used coal range for cooking and gas lamps. Can't beat those coal ranges for baking in! I hated them back in the day but now that I'm 64 and haven't used a coal range for 50 years, I sure love them, so reliable!😂
Is that tekohara marae? I remember going for a school camp there with ngaruawahia high school and we also camped at albatross point we had to walk to the point from the marae, was beautiful out there, we even went to check out the mine that exports the sand.. good memories class of 95
The last time I went there was 98 7th form school camp and the mine was just action then. We had a tour of the sand mine. Forgot the name of it was a long time ago. I remember the marae. It was still like that in 98

It’s all goods. The mines are continually going. The village is fitted with your internet and power. All whanau still so there isn’t no outsiders coming in except for the workers. But other than that for my whanau and extended whanau. It’s an awesome whenua to visit In the summer and reconnect to our land and tupuna

@@lukehakaraia791 Have you been on that land? Its weather beaten and bleached out by the rain. The soil is poor and needs lots of fert to keep it going.

Hi there, I'm interested in tracing any connections with the makers and/or subjects of this film, for an art project i am working on. If anyone has any info they can share with me please could you leave me a message here?
They don't want outsiders there. Outsiders may expose the insiders abuse of children. This place is known as a place full of child molestors and woman abusers
@@Lyricistnz yeah it is also the location of Maori deprivation carried out on behalf of the crown when they confiscated Maori land to pay British troops for aiding during the New Zealand Wars.

@@mb68nz35 Yes, I totally agree. Colonisation creates trauma which is then re-enacted on the traumatised. I was also wanting to make an artwork that gave a voice to the whenua and its sorrow over the 40+ years of trauma from the seabed mining. In the end I found that Getty now have the rights to use this documentary, so i had to pay them to play it in the same gallery as my experimental film. #decoloniseart
The narrator was either english or trying to sound english. That was demanded for TV back then. BBC english you might say. We no longer pretend to be from somewhere else.
I spent my boyhood in different rural regions, of New Zealand's North island. This how I remember the people speaking. I last went back in 2015. They still sounded like this. Hardly spent any time in the cities, though. In the last 30 years, migrant influence has apparently influenced, accents in the largest NZ cities. There's a RUclips video describing that process: ruclips.net/video/trCiA9DPBEo/видео.html I suspect what you see in the video, is how most New Zealanders spoke until the mid 1980's. From my experience 5 years ago, I can say that this accent is still alive, in the countryside of the north island. It's a beautiful thing and easy to understand.
gee I feel a theory come on here, if only people learnt the meaning of socialism and not get it mixed up with Communism, their ignorance wouldn't show.
Responsible for the destruction of CENTRIES old sand dunes.. In the last ten years the new super dredges (more than one) have devastated the central north island west coast. And those Maori's call themselves "kaitiaki".. Sorry Whanau, no Whakaute from me..
