Nā Wai i Teka?
What is Nā Wai i Teka? It’s our contribution to the retention of our dialects. Series 3 continues to be an invaluable tool to support those that are learning this dialect, or those who already speak our reo and want some company These episodes are full of words and grammar from the Far North. More than a sound bite, it’s intellectual and stimulating conversation for 45 minutes to really dig into issues, and use our reo to its full potential. Also showcasing local musical talent.

I’m proud to present the 1st episode of Nā Wai i Teka? What’s special about this show is that everything is local, from the photography of Rawhitiroa Photography, to the production crew, to the kaikōrero, to the venue - Te Wā (locally owned and operated in Kaikohe), and of course - the reo. I hope soon we’ll be able to use this platform to promote local products and services at no cost for whānau. I understand that a full on te reo Māori show like this will get a limited audience. But while we regrow our fluency, I believe we need to keep speaking our home reo, or it will become just a memory. I believe, as do many of you who have messaged me who aren’t fluent, that even just hearing our reo can be healing. I hope you’ll join us each week, and make some new friends. Up close and intimate, in-depth, intelligent conversation, not to be taken too seriously! Our version of Dear Abby. Nā Wai i Teka? Homegrown from the heart of Ngāpuhi. Mihi nui ki a Te Mangai Paho, nana te putea tautoko.
