The names of soldiers in the Māori Battalion from Tairawhiti will be flown across their skies this Saturday as part of a vaccination drive.
Organisers are asking the community to do their bit in the fight against Covid-19, just as their ancestors fought for the country.
Tairawhiti is one of three regions with a vaccination rate below 75%.
Walton Walker, Ngā Taonga o Ngā Tama Toa Trust's Chairman, spoke to Susie Ferguson.
