Te Pāmu Kūmara - First Episode
Web (Full Length Episode) – 2022
Hello, I'm Tai. This is my home. It's my favourite place in the world. My Nanny and I live here. We grow food for our community . . . And what's super cool is we use magic.– Tai (Owairea Tawera) introduces herself in te reo Māori, at the start of the show
This is our piece of paradise.– Tai (Owairea Tawera) describes her family farm
This land has been in my family for generations, and I have no interest in selling.– Nan (Kararaina Rangihau) refuses an offer from Grace (Acushla-Tara Kupe) to buy her farm
It’s amazing that I get to represent te reo Māori doing something that I love. I feel like it’s a real honour because it’s the first kids drama in te reo and I don’t feel like te reo Māori gets enough recognition.– Actor Kanoa MacFie, who plays Nīkau Kahu, in a TV Guide interview, 15 July 2022
