[1993 is the centennial year of women's suffrage in New Zealand and also the United Nations' Year of Indigenous Peoples.
To mark the occasion, the Waiatarau- Freeman's Bay branch of Te Rōpu Wāhine Toka i te Ora (The Māori Women's Welfare League) in collaboration with Te Reo O Aotearoa, devised a radio series called "Maioha", looking at the lives and accomplishments of a number of Māori women.
Interviews were made in both Māori and English. The interviewers were Puhi Rangiaho, Tawini Rangihau, Hemana Waaka and Hēnare te Ua].
In this episode of "Maioha", Hēnare te Ua speaks with Beverley Adlam from Kawerau, who is of Ngāti Tūwharetoa descent.
Beverley Adlam is a former broadcaster and business woman and at present is the General Manager of Waikato Health Ltd.
