TV series seeks Māori to undertake quest of discovery

Starts: Thursday 21 August 2008
Ends: Tuesday 9 September 2008
Creative Area: Maori Art and Culture
Apply: By Tuesday 9 September 2008

Description: The television series is called Tātai Hono for Māori Television. It is focused on the journey to find our turangawaewae, to understand where we came from, who we are, and where we belong.

For each of us, knowing our heritage is central to identity. For those that have lost that connection - discovering or rediscovering can provide a pathway to the restoration of dignity, security and humanity.

The key element of this series is Māori rediscovering their Whakapapa and their marae.

Toitu te whenua ngaro ai te tangata.

This series will follow your journey as you rediscover your Māori heritage. With the help and support of a Kaumātua led research team, we will share the journey back to your marae and your iwi, hapu and whanau.

You will share your stories of how you have longed to find the "missing parts" of your life and inspire other Māori.
