Ngāi Tahu Mahinga Kai
Web (Full Length Episodes) – 2015
Te Waipounamu (the South Island) provides the picturesque backdrop for this Ngāi Tahu web series about mahinga kai (food gathering). Tangata whenua are interviewed about all aspects of mahinga kai, from transport (mōkihi) and storage (pōhā), to what they put on their plates — pāua, kōura (crayfish), and pātiki (flounder). Episode one showcases the elusive "vampire of the sea" kanakana (lamprey) in Murihiku (Southland). The last episode of the 12-part web series features Kaikōura local Butch McDonald catching and eating the town's seafood specialty, crayfish.
It’s Tangaroa’s garden ... it’s got to be protected but if you utilise it wisely, it’ll be there tomorrow and the next day. You rape and pillage it, it’ll become the Serengeti.– Butch McDonald, on kai moana in Kaikōura
