Nga mihi nui kia koutou katoa

Meet Willie Apiata VC. In this historic issue of Mana, Derek Fox talks informally with the humble soldier who has been awarded the Commonwealth’s highest military honour for saving the life of a comrade, under fire, in Afghanistan.

 

 

We remember the late Maori Queen Te Atairangikaahu one year after her death with the story of an unusual and perhaps controversial new portrait of her.

 

There are tributes too to Don Selwyn, a giant of theatre, film and television and mentor to our top young actors and film makers. And Witarina Harris - the original Maori film star who continued her lively interest in films until her death aged 101.

 

 

In a special fashion section we catch up with model Tihi o Te Aroha King Beattie who has just completed a Bollywood movie. We also find out the secrets of success of some of our top Maori designers.

 

 



Derek Fox reports on his trip to the Marshall Islands, home of ocean-going navigators, where he discovers the high price the Marshallese have paid for the American nuclear testing at nearby Bikini Atoll.

 

 

As Taika Waititi's award-winning debut feature Eagle vs Shark opens in cinemas across the country, Mana asks what inspires cinema's hottest new director, and also talks to the film's producer, Ainsley Gardiner.

 

 

 

We meet dynamic young baritone, Phillip Rhodes. From an extremely shaky start in life, this winner of the 2007 Lexus Song Quest seems destined to take his place on the international operatic stage.

Puzzled by Wai 262? We have a clear explanation from a newly published book which will bring you right up-to-date with this long-running and contentious Waitangi Tribunal claim.

 

Mana Kai features a lively Maori restaurant where along with the gourmet food, you'll be entertained and educated in te reo and might even find yourself singing a waiata. We've also got the winning recipes from our kid's competition.

 

 

Check out our competition winners, giveaways and heaps more reading in this springtime edition of Mana, New Zealand’s leading Maori lifestyle, current affairs and heritage magazine.
