Information provided by donor reads: "Telephone interview in te reo. Tioke was a Presbyterian Minister. Discusses Māori approach to social problems, doesn’t agree with Māori identifying as ‘urban Māori’. Pākehā thinking pervades approach to Māori life in towns, and causes loss of direction and moral sense. Discusses loss of spiritual side and loss of prayer life. Discusses promiscuity and pornography. Discusses Maori language programming on television and radio as substitute teachers, but Tioke prefers teaching hui as in tribal heartland. Lengthy discussion on understanding between races and cultures – Māori and Pākehā. Laments lack of Pākehā understanding of things Māori. Quotes John Rangitihi Tahupārae on race relations. Ends with Tioke offering spiritual advice from 48’00”. Cut off by technical fault at end.".
