Saturday 25 April 2015 | ANZAC - Kei wareware taatou - Lest we forget
Almost a third of the eligible men of the small Bay of Plenty iwi signed up to fight in World War 1, despite the legacy of the Land Wars including impoverishment, poor health, and subsistence living meaning the tribal population at the time was at an extinction level of 280. In a KMKA Anzac Day special, Eruera Morgan talks to Ngati Manawa kaumatua Pem Bird about the cost of the war on the iwi, the choices his tupuna made, and what it means for the future.
