Rnz: Te Ahi Kaa

Tamati Waaka says that for many marae across Aotearoa there is always that funny whanau member that can tell a good story, whether it's an uncle or aunty, it's always that person who can tell a hardcase yarn. Tamati is part of Te Reo Wainene o Tua, a group of Māori language storytellers, whose role is to deliver robust stories in te reo māori whilst engaging their audiences of mostly pre-school kids. He explains the purpose of Te Reo Wainene o Tua, and Justine Murray sits in on one of the sessions.
