Mātua Richard Nahi a man on a mission. He has been putting down traditional Hāngi for over almost 40 years and is trying to pass that knowledge on to future generations.
Auckland iwi Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei is hosting Matariki in Tāmaki Makaurau alongside the council, and part of the process is a marathon hāngi effort led by Nahi.
He takes a quick break before putting down a hāngi to korero with Nathan Rarere about the history and future of the traditional hāngi.
