Tagata Tangata 4 - Tangata Whenua / People of the Land (Episode Four)

Description:
This Tagata Tangata episode looks at the effects of colonisation across Polynesia, and the separation of Polynesian people from their lands. Strong-arm tactics such as threats to the family of a Tahitian princess, gunboat diplomacy over sandalwood debts in Hawai’i and the effects of unsanctioned nuclear testing are all told. There are also stories of people separated from their land, including Hawaii's Great Māhale in 1848, mass arrests at Bastion Point, and loss of land ownership across Polynesia. There are many tales of greed, but also tales of hope for native peoples working to undo the adverse effects of the past.
