Merata Mita introduces FROM SPIRIT TO SPIRIT

“Ko Merata Mita ahau, nau mai, haere mai. I roto i te Whanganui a Tara i Te Upoko O Te Ika A Maui, etahi o nga hapu o nga iwi o Aotearoa i rapu i tetahi kaupapa i tae mai te whakapāoho i to tatou reo Maori i runga i nga teihana Maori whakapāho reo. Kotahi ra i huri ake ai matou ki te titiro i nga mahi o Te Upoko o te Ika.”

“In Wellington a group of Maori crossed tribal lines to begin experiments on broadcasting in the Maori language. This became the radio station Te Upoko o te Ika. We follow one day in the life of this station.”
