Ever the Land

Season 6 Episode 603 | 56m 47s

Explores the bond between New Zealand’s indigenous people and their land through a landmark undertaking by one of its most passionately independent Maori tribes, Ngâi Tûhoe. For the past 150 years, the relationship between the Tûhoe Maori tribe and the New Zealand government has been defined by grievances over illegal land confiscations and the devastating consequences of scorched earth policies.
