This week’s whakatāuki was explained by Dr Ocean Mercier nō Ngāti Pōrou
Isie and John Bristowe met, started courting and then married. The usual state of affairs only their whānau, hapu and iwi invested in their future by being very active and present in a process known as “Tomo”. They explain what tomo means to Maraea Rakuraku who spent time with them at their Whirinaki home.
Isie and John Bristowe, Whirinaki, April 2012.
Broadcasters Matai Smith, Julian Wilcox and Tāmati Waaka are just a few examples of students that, in their school days, participated actively in Ngā Manu Kōrero, the National Speech competitions. Fittingly it was these competitions that prompted a kōrero between Justine Murray and Tūhoe Kaumatua, Heemi Kara.
This year, Kirsten Te Rito released her debut solo Te reo Māori album, Te Rito. She has a candid chat about her dance background, the journey learning Te reo Māori and how she met her husband, James Illingworth, on The Love Tour.
Waiata Featured: Ne Ra performed by Kirsten Te Rito from the album Te Rito (2012), Oranga and Hope performed by Kirsten Te Rito at Radio New Zealand studios on 31 July 2012

- 18:10 Te Ahi Kaa for 19 August 2012
In Te Ahi Kaa this week, When John and Isie Bristowe met 57 years ago it was serious business. Their relationship is an example of "Tomo", the formal process Maori exercised when it came to asking for someones hand in marriage. Marriage wasn't viewed as a decision between two people but one that involved the whole whanau, hapu and Iwi. Maraea Rakuraku meets with the Whirinaki based couple to gain a sense of "tomo", what it means and what would have happened had Johns offer been rejected. Justine Murray talks to musical duo and husband and wife team, Kirsten Te Rito and James Illingworth. Tuhoe Kaumatua, Heemi Kara talks about how accessible te reo maori is for young people. (57′56″)
