1980 - Te Wai Puna Wai Kōrero Series.

This programme is broadcast from the opening of Hoani Waititi Marae in Glen Eden, Auckland.

The opening of "Nga Tumanako" wharenui has been the accumulation of seventeen years of hard work by people like Dr Peter Sharples, Don Rameka, Mavis Tuoro, Aroha Sharples, Tuini Hararaia, Jerry Graham and many others, both Māori and Pakeha.

The marae was named after a well-known Māori educationalist, the late John Waititi of Te Whanau-a-Apanui.
