Bill Tawhai is another of our living treasures and features in a Waka Huia TV program screened in June 2009 .  Bill talks about Maramataka (the Maori Calendar) and what each of the days represent for Maori – his korero goes well beyond planting and fishing by the moon.  It is about what humans need for survival and guides us towards wellbeing.  The second part of the show talks about how his family embarked on a project to  grow, harvest and store Kumara the traditional way and how this project has strengthened their whanau.   A truely inspirational and caring man.

 Thank you to Rob Whitbourne for drawing our attention to Bill’s korero.
