Their honesty about what was really happening behind the scenes was far more riveting than the polished version.” Their level of reo and their fascinating stories wipe out the need for a presenter or narration. Instead, the six leaders tell their own stories in their own way during each of the half-hour episodes. Producer Maramena Roderick says it took many long hours of work to do their stories justice. “But imagine sitting with icons, hearing stories they have never told, dining with best friends and whānau and then laughing and crying all night,” she says. “That is the reward of E TU KAHIKATEA.” Join these special people as they share their inspiring journeys – E TU KAHITAKEA.   Episode #7 Te Wharehuia Milroy Māori leaders, who led, challenged, outraged and inspired share their very personal and untold stories.

AUNTY MOVES IN is just that  – a no-nonsense and informative television series offering real advice and real solutions to real problems. Meet our Aunties, two staunch, proud Māori woman, each with a large whānau of their own and great mana in the community. Our Aunties are no nonsense women who tell it like it is, capable of dispensing the relevant advice in some situations and a good kick in the pants in others. Two of Māori Television’s break out stars Amiria RerIti and Ata Te Kanawa, will each take a role as ‘Aunty’. Both Aunties will feature each week but only one will take on the weekly mission. Each week, AUNTY MOVES IN for a few days with an ordinary Māori family with children who have issues. Their day-to-day life is a struggle and they need help; they know they need it and they need it now. Aunty arrives bringing nothing but a few items, her wisdom, experience and a good dose of tough ‘Aunty’ love. Her finger-wagging style is ready to whip this family into shape, often with just a good dose of solid common sense. Once settled in, Aunty assesses the family’s situation. Each family visited will have gone some way to asking for help in certain areas in their pre-interviews. How are the children and how do they behave? How is the couple’s relationship? How do they handle their finances? What state is the house in? And what are the problems and daily struggles they face? With her straight talking manner and using her wealth of community contacts to find the necessary assistance available (from local whānau or hapu or even professional neighbourhood resources), Aunty leads by example as she guides each family down the path to good parenting and a healthier and ultimately, wealthier lifestyle. We may see Aunty clear out the fridge and pantry of junk foods; climb into the family finances – perhaps the hire purchase bills are mounting up unpaid, as is the rent and budgeting services are required; reconnecting families with local whānau who might well turn up for a working bee at the house to establish a sustainable vegetable garden; get Dad off the couch or straight home from work and home for dinner with his family; show mum or dad how to prepare a simple roast meal; or moderate in a family dispute bringing the parties together and on the road to reconciliation. Week after week, AUNTY MOVES IN will impart excellent advice for everyday parenting, teaching valuable, down-to-earth techniques so important, and sometimes so obvious, but nevertheless often missing from many of our family units around the country. For the viewers at home the series will offer practical and straight-forward advice and good old family entertainment.  http://www.maoritelevision.com/default.aspx?tabid=462&pid=3532Tue, 01 Sep 2009 22:44:00 GMThttp://www.maoritelevision.com/default.aspx?tabid=462&pid=3532  Māori Television’s insightful indigenous current affairs show, NATIVE AFFAIRS is presented by Julian Wilcox and covers regional and national current affairs – from a Māori perspective – as well as international indigenous news.
