Te puna wai kōrero

[1993 is the centennial Year of Women's Suffrage in New Zealand and also the United Nations Year of Indigenous Peoples.

To mark the occasion, the Waiatarau- Freeman's Bay branch of Te Rōpu Wāhine Toka i te Ora (The Māori Women's Welfare League) in collaboration with Te Reo O Aotearoa, devised a radio series called "Maioha", looking at the lives and accomplishments of a number of Māori women.

Interviews were made in both Māori and English. The interviewers were Puhi Rangiaho, Tawini Rangihau, Hemana Waaka and Hēnare te Ua.]

In this episode of the "Maioha" series, Hēnare Te Ua talks to Keri Kaa, an educationalist, consultant and advisor on Māori Affairs. From the Kaa family of Rangitukia, she speaks about her early education and many aspects of her life.
