00:00:04.333 --> 00:00:33.630
[singing]

00:00:33.630 --> 00:00:35.670
E ngā iwi, e ngā mana, e ngā reo.

00:00:35.970 --> 00:00:39.540
Tēnā no kato kātoa.
Welcome back to Koha.

00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:44.430
Our first story is from
Lake Waikaremoana in the Ureweras.

00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:48.840
It concerns the communities around
the Waimako and Kūhā maraes.

00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:53.232
And in particular, their wish to meet
the needs of their old people

00:00:53.232 --> 00:00:54.990
in a new and challenging way.

00:00:56.070 --> 00:01:00.120
Waikere te moana, Panekire te maunga,
Tūhoe te iwi

00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:05.010
Waikaremoana nestles in the Urewera
ranges of the Bay of Plenty.

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:09.846
It's a stronghold of the Tūhoe people
and contains a storehouse

00:01:09.846 --> 00:01:11.820
of their tribal myths and legends.

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:16.198
Stories of taniwha, still living
and guarding the lake,

00:01:16.198 --> 00:01:19.350
and of ancient canoes
which lie in its depths.

00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.930
Land which has sustained the tribes
since the beginning of time

00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:29.700
has been witness to the gradual departure
of people for the towns and cities.

00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:38.119
But today, many people have
traveled back to a special hui,

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:40.926
the opening of some kaumātua flats,

00:01:40.926 --> 00:01:45.928
Vern Winitana, one of the supervisors,
tells us how the scheme started.

00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:51.536
The scheme initially started
out of, out of a response

00:01:51.536 --> 00:01:55.410
from the people for better
housing conditions.
