Episodes

Episode 1 • Dec 31, 1969
The Spirits and the Times Will Teach
"The Spirits and Times will Teach", is the first episode in the ground-breaking 1974 documentary series. Prior to the establishment of an urban marae in Porirua, Maori people recollect the past reality of life in the rural communities of Tokomaru Bay and Waima Valley. The concept of marae as traditionally understood is discussed by young Maori from groups like Nga Tama Toa in terms of the new and emergent urban present. As diverse Pakeha and Pacific Island community networks attempt to form links with the marae, real questions are raised about the nature of identity and the possibility of a "multicultural" future. The importance of having a sense of belonging and forming a sense of identity is explored as the documentary moves down to Porirua to follow the establishment of a new marae.
Episode 2 • Dec 31, 1969
Waikato
The name of the Turangawaewae marae was taken from a 19th-century prophesy by King Tawhiao, that in his grandson's time Ngaruawahia would become the turangawaewae (standing place) of the Kingitanga. His granddaughter Te Puea dedicated her life to fulfilling his prophesy and 'Waikato' explores the Waikato people's relationship with and support for the King movement. The visual and emotional climax of this episode is the poukai or annual loyalty hui held at Turangawaewae marae, on the bank of the Waikato River.

The Prophets: Tuhoe Ringatu
The Tuhoe people of the Urewera country have maintained the Ringatu religion founded in the 19th century by Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki.
