Rereata Makiha on learning within the Whare Wānanga space - a podcast by RNZ

In the final episode of this series about the Maramataka, Rereata Makiha talks about growing up in the Hokianga and was 'by default' immersed in the traditional learning under the whare wananga. From the age of 18 Rereata attended these sacred learning sessions where he was taught in the dark by his elders, the purpose of which was to recite the genealogy and the historical stories of the Maramataka. Rereata talks about those experiences in this week's Te Ahi Kaa.
