“Thank you for reaching out from Taiwan, the recognized homeland of the Māori’s ancestors,” wrote back Darren Rewi when we invited him to join our show. It’s true — New Zealand’s Māori and Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples share common ancestry, and for this episode of #CONNECTED we are joined by guests from both places. Fran Pan in Taipei and Darred Rewi in Queenstown tell us why Indigenous representation matters and how young Indigenous decision-makers are paving the path for justice in Taiwan and Aotearoa.
