MARAE MAKEOVERS AND SENSATIONAL SPORTS TO PREMIERE ON MĀORI TELEVISION
 It’s 5am in the morning and somewhere in Aotearoa, a dawn service is being conducted for the opening of a newly refurbished marae while a disabled Māori sports star hits the tracks for early morning training.
Māori Television brings to viewers the ordinary lives of extraordinary Māori with two programme premieres this week – MITRE 10 MARAE DIY (Sunday October 2 at 8.00 PM) and TOA ANGA WHATI MĀORI (Friday September 30 at 8.00 PM).
This season, MITRE 10 MARAE DIY is presented by the dynamic tag-team of Nevak Ilolahia and Te Ori Paki. In the first episode, it’s all fun and games when the DIY team head to Ōtaki and help Ngāti Kapumanawawhiti gut, remodel and outfit a brand new kitchen and outdoor prep area for the ringawera (cooks). On the landscaping front, the hapū use artwork, modern materials and a range of gardens to breathe some life into their humble marae grounds – all in just four days.
In future episodes, the show will also travel to the Hokianga, Levin, Taupo, Masterton and Taranaki, all in the name of aesthetic, yet functional, marae renovations!
 And, TOA ANGA WHATI MĀORI premieres on Friday September 30 at 8.00 PM, presented by former champion tennis player Rewa Hudson.
Produced by Tawharau Sports, the bilingual series looks at how disabled Māori athletes triumph in a world where many would fear to tread. It also profiles their various support networks, from large organisation and smaller family coaching units to the talented and dedicated health professionals who help these athletes reach their goals.
Episode one features the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind, blind cricketer and goalball enthusiast Charles Tauhore (Auckland), blind bowls player Louise Henry (Nawton, Hamilton) and the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind’s annual waka journey down the Wanganui River.
Two shows with the same kaupapa – to celebrate te ao Māori – premiering on Māori Television this week. Join us!
