For quite some time there has been an awareness between teachers and principals for the importance of having some knowledge of Maoritanga how ever basic. Tangata whenua have been quick to respond and take up the opportunity to enlighten their teachers. John Leach (Opotiki College Principal) and his staff moved onto Omarumutu Marae after school one Friday and spent the weekend learning aspects of tikanga, protocol, reo, and issues relating to Maoritanga.

Speakers include:
- Tairongo Amoamo

- Tamihana Reweti

- Teotoko Te Maipi

- John Leach (Principal Opotiki College)

- Jimmy Cornwell talks about Rapanui (Easter Islands)

- Hēnare te Ua talks with Graham Latimer president of the New Zealand Māori Council about the short comings of the present Māori Affairs Bill.
