Kingi, Mauriora, Speaker/Kaikōrero
Hohepa, Hiko-o-te-Rangi, approximately 1933-1998, Speaker/Kaikōrero

An unidentified Cook Island speaker talks with a Māori party from New Zealand about whakapapa. The group is attending a hui relating to waka landing in the Cook Islands from Hawaiki, then eventually moving on to Aotearoa.

There is a close relationship between Cook Island Māori and New Zealand Māori because of the migration, which comes through the waka and their chiefs e.g., Tainui, Te Arawa and Takitimu waka.

Speaker Mauriora Kingi (from Rotorua) talks about the Te Arawa waka and its chief Ngātoroirangi. The Te Arawa waka landed in the Cook Islands before coming on to settle in New Zealand.

This is followed by an unidentified Cook Island speaker.

Kaikōrero Hiko Hohepa talks about his ancestor Tama Te Kapua. Cook Islanders speak about Ngātoroirangi, followed by another Cook Islander speaking about the waka Te Arawa, its chief, and a place in the Cook Islands called Mangaia.
