A discussion with Tapu Misa, Māmari Stephens, Gary Wilson, Nadine Millar and Morgan Godfery
The online Sunday magazine e-Tangata tells Māori and Pasifika stories about people and issues of significance to all New Zealanders. The storytellers you’ll meet are Tapu Misa, Māmari Stephens, Gary Wilson, Nadine Millar and Morgan Godfery.
They’ll talk a little about e-Tangata and what they are working to achieve; and they are keen to hear what you would like to read in the future. e-Tangata is produced by the Mana Trust.
All welcome, no RSVP needed. Supported by the National Library and the Royal Society.
