A series of short videos has been launched. Ngai Tahu Mahinga Kai is a lifestyle series featuring 12 ten minute episodes filmed in the stunning landscape of Te Waipounamu. It captures the stories and essence of traditional food gathering practices passed down through the generations.
The episode on patiki (flounder) fishing features local kaumatua Don Brown, who has lived his entire life on the lake’s edge. We learn about Te Waihora and its importance to Ngai Tahu as a food source and we talk to David Perenara-O’Connell and Craig Pauling about the restoration of the lake and the vision for its future. A link to the patiki episode is here.
