Descendant of Tūhoe prophet Rua Kēnana, The Hui reporter John Boynton, looks at the legacy of his great great grandfather ahead of the passing of the Rua Kēnana Pardon Bill 100 years after his papakainga at Maungapōhatu, Te Urewera, was invaded by police causing ongoing trauma for his people. He visits Tuapou Marae at Matahi, Rua's grave at Te Mapou Marae, views the model Hiona, and talks to his uncle Wayne Boynton. Atamira Tumarae-Nuku is leading the fight to restore the mana of Rua Kēnana. Ngawaiata Turnbull is completing her doctorate on the Iharaira faith established by Rua Kēnana. Minister of Māori Development Nanaia Mahuta broke down in tears at the first reading of the Bill before Parliament, which recognises the wrongful arrest of Rua and the damage caused by the police invasion. ➡️ SUBSCRIBE: / @thehuinewzealand
